Soothe Away Pain And Discomfort

Living with chronic pain affects our mood, making us anxious, stressed, and sometimes sad. It interferes with sleep and creates life's everyday challenges that are much harder to deal with. Focusing on the sensations of pain can make them feel worse. This self-soothing meditation uses the power of positive association to relax the body's autonomic nervous system and trigger the release of feel-good endorphins, natural pain relievers that stay in the system for several hours. The meditation combines mindfulness, grounding, breath awareness, self-compassion, and guided visualization.
