You can use your mind, to block pain.
I live every day on fire. Literally - actually being burned alive, and the pain signals that go to my brain, is no different other than one ends in death, and one does not.
I spent 6 months with a gun near my hand, living a minute at a time, simply trying to make it to the next minute without blowing my brains out - THAT is how intense the pain was.
The doctors had me taking 100 mg of Oxycontin per day, with 10 mg Vicodin for break-through pain (Up to 3 times per day), sleeping pills at night so I could at least go into nearly a medicated coma to sleep every night, plus I took Neurontin too, 3200 mg of that a day.
The disease didn't go away... but I no longer need all of that. The only thing I still take is the Neurontin.
Now you tell me... why do I of all people say... to use your MIND to block the PAIN?????

It's a mixture of both. God gives us the right tools, and teaches us how to use them.
