Mindful meditation

[Mystic Wolf]

 

Mediation is an appealing option for treating your pain because it has an unusual benefit; it places you in a position of control. Unlike pain medications or surgical procedures, meditation is not done to you—but rather it is something you do. Believe that you can meditate, even with the presence of pain.

A recent study has demonstrated that committing even a minimal amount of time to learn mediation techniques can in turn have a positive impact on your pain.

Meditation produces analgesic benefits that can alter your perception of pain—but it was thought that these benefits were available only after extensive mediation training. So then, a short, simple course on mediation may be able to significantly reduce your perception of your pain.

 

Participants who practiced meditation experienced a reduction in their perception of pain even after the conclusion of their meditation sessions. This indicates that meditation may result in an overall reduction in perceptions of pain, not just during or around the time of a meditation session.

 

It is more potent and positive than worry and anxiety, and allow the power of that affirmation to fill you with strength.
