Meditation For Pain: Best Types Of Meditation For Pain Management

There is a variety of meditation types that may be suitable for pain management.
Walking Meditation

This is quite simply meditation that you practice while walking slowly. Your total focus should on the movements that your body makes as you proceed, which is why it’s a good place for beginners to start.

It’s easier to focus your attention on walking than it is to sit quietly and shut the world out.

The University of Berkeley offers helpful tips (http://ggia.berkeley.edu/practice/walking_meditation) on how to effectively practice walking meditation.

Mindfulness Meditation

This should be the most familiar to you and it’s certainly the most commonly used meditation for relieving pain. This technique helps to quiet the mind, soothe bad thoughts, and refreshes your mind.

Because researchers believe that pain has an emotional component, mindfulness meditation can help divert your mind from pain by focusing on your breathing and keeping you in the present.

UCLA offers guided mindfulness meditations (http://marc.ucla.edu/mindful-meditations).

Brain Scan Meditation

The name might put you off, but don’t worry, UCLA does offer guided routines (http://marc.ucla.edu/mindful-meditations) that will help you through the process. You’ll need a quiet and private place to carry this meditation out, and patience.

You have to feel each and every area of your body and your mind will wander, but you need simply bring your mind back to the part of your body where your focus is.

The scan part of it is to lie (on the floor or a bed) and breathe until you feel as though your body has sunk into the floor. You focus on your breathing as you then study each region of your body.

Yoga Breathing

This deep breathing is an effective method for reducing the intensity of pain, all while relaxing your mind and your body.

Transcendental Meditation

Arthritis sufferers are commonly sent for transcendental meditation. It’s an effective way to relieve flares.

It takes just 10 minutes and can be done every morning and evening. Not only will you experience relief from your pain, but your body and mind will also relax.
