Hello, Pandora-- I suppose that's because in a sense we have already been nuked and plagued and survived through a complicated process of mind and will. On a related thought: I've been in a wheel chair (paraplegic T- 10 for just about two years) for just about two years, but in my mind I still walk...so every time I just happen to see myself in the mirror it comes as a surprise to me that I am in a wheelchair. Not a technique, simply something I stumbled on. Keep the sage advice coming.
