Instant pain relief meditation!

When faced with pain, thinking positive can be a powerful meditation technique. Studies show that people with chronic pain who practice relaxation techniques have fewer symtoms of pain and distress.
Steps:
1. Sit or lie comfortably. Close your eyes and ground yourself (read second blog post) by taking deep breathes.
2. visualize your body as a whole, take focus of your fingers, each eyelash strand, your toes. Use your minds eye to visualize your body.
3. Now visualize your organs, everything (brain, heart, lungs etc.) and visualize the blood flowing through your veins
4. Think about the pain and where it is located in the body. See its color and visualize it, but dont let it engulf you.

5. Now think of another part that isn't feeling pain and think of how healthy it is, look throughout your body at any pain free part.
6. Having established that most of your body is pain free, go back to the spot of the pain and visualize it freezing like ice, then take healing energy from your body (visualize as soothing white light) and melt it and start to feel the pain going away.
7. Once you feel better open your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
(If you want try chanting the healing mantra while you do this meditation)
Enjoy.
