A Meditation for Those Experiencing Pain (fr Ep #16)
Manage episode 428708584 series 3563550
This meditation is to help those who may be experiencing significant pain, where there is a feeling that you cannot overcome it. If you tuned into Episode 16, released with this meditation ("On the Loneliness of Pain"), I explain how we can feel alone in our pain, and also how our thoughts can consume us in times of pain.
At times when the pain is so intense that your thoughts are consumed with it, you may find that the experience of pain can become heightened.
This guided meditation is intended to take you to a place where, through focused breathing, and bringing your mind to a place where you can become an observer of your pain - as if it is a visitor, but it is not you - you can discover that your thoughts are not you, and you are not your pain, you may be able to experience a little respite from the extreme pain experience.
While your pain experience is real, being open to a practice of meditation that can help you to see your pain in a different way, and to perhaps even take you to a place where you can recall other pain free times, you may also be able to rewire some of those pain signals in your brain, and maybe this may help you become more aware of how your thoughts can play a role in the experience of pain, and how you can change your thought patters to help perhaps alleviate it a little.
I hope this helps.
A note on my meditations: I have been creating these guided meditations for myself, based on what I have been learning through this journey of self-awareness. And I have decided to share them for anyone else who may find them helpful.
