subject: Learning Meditation To Live Pain Free [print this page] Is it possible that learning meditation can help inspire pain relief? The answer to that question is "Absolutely, yes". When you want to develop strong pain relief techniques, meditation can be the one element that helps you overcome some of the emotional and physical blocks that keep pain alive. It helps you relax and can literally help to soothe the pain away.
Physical pain is very real, and while most pain needs some sort of treatment (usually in the form of pain relieving tablets), there are emotional issues that surround any painful condition. These issues can be directly related to pain issues from the past. Learning meditation can help release some of these issues.
As a broad and extreme example, let's say the dentist is coming at your mouth with the drill sans Novocain. You know this is going to hurt and your body responds before the drill ever touches your tooth. Your muscles tense, your heart rate increases, you might sweat or become nauseated, and you are likely to quiver or shake.
Pain is directly related to our body and our mind and their interconnection. Learning meditation helps you break through many of the unknown barriers and discover how much of your pain is treatable through actions and medication and which aspects of your health are manageable through meditation and other natural processes.
Some people can get so good at tuning into their body through meditation that they can feel the smallest of adjustments and know immediately whether it was the right one to make. They can feel vertebrates move back and forth, ligaments stretch, and some say they can even feel their bones heal.
It might not be the easiest journey, but those things that are truly worth it are rarely easy or simple. It takes a certain amount of self intuitive behavior to learn how to live ultimately healthy. This is what learning meditation can help you do.
