Color, Imagery and Comfort
I found this on webmd.com and thought it was a pretty cool idea.

There are different types of imagery that people can use to assist in stress reduction and pain relief. There is the image that focuses on going somewhere and doing something specific that represents leaving something behind--usually the offending problem. There is another approach that can be used for stress reduction and pain control. That type of imagery requires a lot of concentration but when done successfully, it can lead to the relief of intense pain.
Many years ago, I went to the University of Vermont in Burlington to learn about biofeedback and self-hypnosis. I worked with a therapist for several weeks and learned several techniques that enabled me to rechannel my circulation and decrease the severe and debilitating pain of clusters and migraine headaches. It took a lot of practice but once mastered, I found I could use the techniques for a variety of painful conditions caused by arthritis and back injuries--to name a few.
