Monte-
Our phone consultation has been a tremendous help to me. Thank you so  much for guiding me
to look at my worrying mind and for giving me  some tangible strategies for truly shifting my
thought patterns. Wow.  
I have been trying to work on this for YEARS and somehow what you  
said to me really clicked. I've also been rereading The Power of Now,  which has been helpful
as well. My physical pain has improved a great  deal, and my mind-body feels remarkably clear.
My husband has noticed  a huge difference in my mood.
Many thanks-Jxx xxxx

Monte,

I haven't been in touch for quite some time, but this newsletter prompts me to say how helpful
your CD and overall comments have been. I struggled with the tensions and anxieties that
brought on TMS, but fell into the trap of looking outside of myself for the answers. That's no
longer the case, and I feel much more in touch with what's going on emotionally. I'm also able
to deal with it in a more constructive way -- staying in the present, avoiding a tendency to
repress and protect, and letting the negative feelings drift through rather than be controlled by
them.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Monty

Just had to say thank you for your excellent advice.
I finished a half marathon without any back pain during or after. It tried to come
back but I delt with it successfully.

You advise was invaluable.

Monte,
To be honest with you it is like a breath of fresh air to focus on my emotions vs. the
"physical" which became my life and it was so depressing.  You feel disabled and
weak and that is not the case.  Your book picked up where Dr. Sarno's left off.  He
was not clear about how to get in touch with your emotions.  You have given
everyone a "gift" through your own experience and so much hope.  I have to say I
had been journalling before I found your web site so I was starting to put it
together...I must say I found your book and your CD at the right time.  It may not
have been as effective for me maybe a year or two ago but I can see clearly now
and "THANKS".  I am now going to the Y everyday with my husband and working
out and it feels great.  I am now asking myself "What am I feeling?"  Let's put it this
way I am not afraid of the pain coming because I can slow myself down and go
"within".  Have a great weekend!
Sincerly,
Melinda
P.S.  I have even started working for another testing company from home scoring
and I'm not afraid to "sit".  I know you can identify with that one!  I look forward to
future newsletter and I intend on reading some of the books by people that you
have referenced also.

Subject: Re: A Message From Monte Hueftle & Runningpain.com - January Newsletter

here is my running story to date:

I started running in 2001.  At that time, I was not reading any running magazines, or message boards.  
I was not familiar with any running related "injuries", and I did not experience them.  In 2002, in the
process of trying to increase my mileage, I experienced "pain in my arch."  I did all the things the
average person would do such as freak out, run to the doctor, etc.  He prescribed me arch supports
and "anti-inflammatories."

Around the same time that this took place, I started reading running magazines, and going to
message boards.  The pain in my arch led me on a journey of pain that lasted about two years.  
During this time, I experienced all of the pains you can imagine, including pain my hips, knees,
ankles, ball of my foot, arch, heel, toes, calf, shins.  I was never able to get my mileage back up over
10 miles per week.  My pitiful PR's stood their ground.

I believe it was in the fall of 2003 that I stumbled across Monte's book.  At the time I was having a
pain in the ball of my foot, trying to self-diagnose it and treat it.  I read Monte's book in about two
days and immediately started putting it into practice.  I remember the day that the pain in my foot
left me. I had just come back from a jog, and it was screaming at me.  So I walked over to my
ceramic tile floor and stomped as hard as I could on the worst spot four times saying "I don't need
you."  An electrifying jolt of electricity shot through my foot and the pain was gone.

At the same time, I received a challenge from a friend.  She said she was coming to town and we
were going to run a half marathon together.  I started gradually increasing my mileage ( at that time
my longest runs were 3 miles).  I trained both running and cycling through the fall and spring, getting
my mileage up to around 35 miles per week.  There were numerous pain challenges throug this time,
and I can't really remember them all.  With six weeks left before my race, I was experiencing shin
problems and decided to switch to strictly biking.  I was (and still do) struggling with believing even at
this point.

In March of 2004, I ran my first 1/2 marathon in 1:58:XX.  This was really a bittersweet feeling. I hurt
for 3 days and the feeling never left me that I had given everything I had and performed such a
middle of the pack time.

With those feelings still fresh, I made the decision to quit biking and give my all to running.  Through
the summer, I increased my running mileage up to 45 miles per week, and that fall, I increased them
up to 50 miles per week.  That December I ran my second half marathon in 1:44:47.

After the many successes and huge PR's of 2004, I was given the opportunity to be trained by a world
class  runner/coach.  Starting with my base of 50 miles per week, I trained all year, reaching some
weeks over 60 mpw, experienced minimal PR's in short distances, ran a 45:17 in the 10K, and then
started training for my 4th half marathon for Dec. of 2005. My 3 goals for this half marathon were:
1. 1:44:00
2.  1:42:00
3. 1:40:00.  

About 2 weeks before the half, I started to experience the old soreness in my heel.  But I decied that
it was most likely a pain disorder and to continue with the training and run the race - which I did,
breaking my dream goal of 1:40:00 in 1:39:31.  I was in awe.

And now I am still dealing with the heel, and expecting healing.  I have dealt with a lot of emotional
issues over the last couple of weeks.  I experience so many of the personality expressions such as
perfectionism, judging (being my worst one), self conscious, a need to please people, make people
notice me.  But the journey is to ask why?  Why do I want/feel that? Why do I act angry towards the
ones I love?  I am feeling tension leave my body.  And one thing I think I have learned is that the
focus is not on the pain, the focus is on dealing with these emotional issues which are leaking
healing energy out of our bodies.

Hello Monte,

Firstly i would say that i have had a lot of success since reading your
book
back in February 06. I was running regularly for the first 2 months and
then
got back to playing soccer which i have missed for over two and a half
years!

Monte;

Thank you for sharing this information. I'm 42 years old and just like you learned and read about
Sarno and TMS back in 1999. I did get some initial relief of my back pain but have really been
struggling the past 3 years. When I started reading your new book I once again started getting what
you call the subconscious healing effect. but I am taking your advice and following your practice
of learning about my repression habits and how to change them so that this time it will be
permanent. It's been one week since I started and I doing much better. I ran my 5 mile trail run
today for the first time in two years. Thanks again and I will keep you posted.

Received with thanks--from the first few pages i can see you have taken  on some of the missing elements dr
sarno implied, but i have struggled to  get my head round ,like exactly how to get in touch with yourself etc welldone!
i must admit after 3 years of thinking and being told i had a peripheral neuropathy in both feet,not being able to even

years that messed up my thinking the discovery of TMS at christmas has been nothing short of amazing!!!no
drugs,and gradually
