https://anal-fissure.org/no-more-pain-t7146.htmlWhen you are in pain, try focusing on your breathe and each time you exhale, think of(or order) your blood steam rush in to the anus area. You will notice a bit relaxation there. Recognize it.
Then imagine your anus expanding freely. As if a light wind blows through it, it would expand easily without any force.
Something like a jellyfish moving in the current.
It is hard to explain, but you are mentally able to relax the muscles if you focus.
All the best, stay strong and be hopeful that human mind and body is a miracle and it can get through anything.

A BIG part of the healing journey is hope, hope, hope. Do not lose hope. We are not alone, we may feel so, but we are not. And NEVER underestimate the healing power of our body. Human body is designed to heal the wounds. It is just because of the location and frequent friction that it is taking a little longer than any other part in the body. We will provide all the nutrients and necessary components that the body needs to heal, we will avoid anything that will hinder the healing and then we will leave it up to God. Prayers - lots and lots of prayers will help us keep the faith and hope going in our healing journey. God is the best listener. I totally completely feel the pain that you are going through and my sincere hopes and prayers for each one of you in your healing journey. You WILL heal, it is just a matter of time and patience. I hope this journal of mine helps to ease the suffering of someone out there or at least help to give you a new hope
https://anal-fissure.org/psychologist-s-advice-for-managing-pain-t11432.htmlDeep breathing/body scan/ meditation: I was surprised how helpful this is...I've never been one to really go for this kind of thing but it really does help calm down racing thoughts and even take the pain down a level or two. We went through a process of "body scanning" - moving from head to toe and concentrating on relaxing one body part at a time, while keeping deep breathing as an anchor. I was also told to focus on a soothing colour, and imagine the colour filling my body, especially the painful areas. I find this particularly helpful. I aim for 2 fifteen minute sessions each day, more if needed.Deep breathing/meditation techniques: We tried another technique this week during mindfulness exercises. This involved starting off with a quick body scan and deep breathing. Then, think of someone you love and admire, who makes you feel comforted and picture them in your head. While continuing to breathe, tell them (I did this in my head not out loud but I assume it doesn't matter) "may you be happy, may you be healthy, may you get through whatever trouble comes your way". Do this several times. Then, continuing to picture the individual, imagine them saying the same to you. Repeat several times, then go back to body scanning and really try and relax the areas where you hold tension. You could also picture a group of people to whom you belong and feel comfortable with - your family, friends, members of this board haha - instead of the individual. It is also helpful to remind yourself - or have someone else remind you - that you are doing the best you can and that this state is not permanent. I've also been using a great app called "Headspace" to practice mindfulness - I find it particularly helpful on those days when there are lots of bad thoughts that just won't be quiet.
