Using questions about the size, shape, color and pulsing https://genuinehealthreviews.com/dolor-de-espalda-nunca-mas-revision/ of the sensations seem to work quite well but it is not obligatory. Neither is the order you ask them in. You could also use questions about the texture, movement or volume of the sensations. In fact any quality which helps the person make contact with the sensations is fine.

Why does this technique work? To be honest I am not completely sure. There is some kind of dynamic going on whereby that the more we resist and get away from the pain the worst it gets. And the more we feel powerless in the face of pain the worse it gets. If we allow ourselves to be in contact with pain sensations mostly they decrease.

Did I invent it? No I think I first learned about it through various personal development trainings many years ago. I have modified it a little but the general principle is as it was then.
