How to Cope with Chronic pain Meditation

<p>Chronic pain can be tough to handle, but when we create a mental image of our suffering, we tend to aggravate this pain, thus increasing it. Every time we feel this sensation, we will have a negative thought attached to it on a conscious and subconscious level. This meditation will teach you to change the mental image created from this pain to a peaceful and positive thought.</p> <p>Meditation shifts your focus to something quiet and calm, reducing inflammation and pain.&nbsp;And Ehrman says when you can get into that quieter state of mind through meditation, your body isn’t releasing stress hormones into your bloodstream.</p> <p>“Meditation can help your brain release endorphins, natural pain relievers,” she says. Muscles and tissues around your joints are more relaxed, and your brain can be in a calmer state, so you’ll feel less pain.</p> <p>Your support, questions, and suggestions are welcome and appreciated greatly.&nbsp;</p> --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. <a href="https://anchor.fm/app">https://anchor.fm/app</a> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/effortlessmeditation/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/effortlessmeditation/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/effortlessmeditation/support</a>
