Simple Scientology Assists for Injuries

Scientology Assists are simple techniques to help a person deal with a physical injury or sudden trauma. Because I do them all the time, it's easy to forget the impact assists have on my life as well as others.

Today I was opening an envelope and the letter inside cut deeply into the flesh under my fingernail. This wasn't "just a paper cut" - it felt like a sharp knife driven under my nail. Lots of blood and the pain was blinding. I did the correct first aid and disinfected the area. Still more blood and I became concerned.

Then I did an assist which consisted of putting the injured part (my finger) in precisely the same spot where it was hurt - assuming it is safe to do so. A few moments after doing so, the pain flared up to the point where my knees started to buckle, and then ... it was gone. No pain. No stress. Nada. The cut didn't magically heal up, but the bleeding stopped completely and I was just mildly curious about the fact that the cut had actually gone through the skin and into the muscle.

Several minutes later and here I am, typing this blog with with no undue attention on my finger. Maybe I'll put a bandaid on it later ... just for fun.
