That is interesting. One of the methods that I use in practice for control of pain does have to do with 'tapping' on a non-painful part of the body and visualizing/ feeling it becoming larger as the painful part becomes smaller. This is done after a hypnotic trance has been induced I have found it very effective with the people who I have used it with. I'll have to look up effleurage. Thanks for sharing this!

I was not sold on it myself. Took about five seconds before I was prepared to do murder. But that's just me - I don't like to be touched when I'm in pain. You may be different.
