In this short guided‑imagery audio clip, Dr. Emmett Miller leads the listener through a relaxation exercise designed to alleviate pain by mentally transferring a sensation of numbness to the painful area. The speaker describes the numbness as a bleaching, rubber‑like feeling that becomes cold, distant, and eventually disappears, while the hand and arm return to normal as the numbness is shifted. Listeners are instructed to reinforce the effect by repeatedly thinking the words “numb, cold, and distant.” The clip concludes with a brief promotion of Dr. Miller’s full “Change the Channel on Pain” program and a link to purchase it.

As you're doing this, you may notice the color is fading more and more rapidly, almost as though the numbness is bleaching the color away. Notice the air breathing for you, and with each breath in and out, numbness is flowing through your body and into this area. Letting it become more and more distant and more and more numb. So this part of your body is now beginning to feel like rubber, perhaps even disappearing completely. Feel this happening. And as it's happening, you may notice the feeling in your hand and arm returning to normal. As the numbness is being transferred. Or if you like, you may allow this hand and arm to continue to remain rather numb so that you may transfer at any time you need, just by thinking the thoughts: numb, cold, and distant. Numb, cold, and distant.
