I absolutely love how you tie in science with your meditation practices. I just discovered you this evening and I'm so grateful that I did. I wanted to share my experience with this meditation.

When I approach my pain with compassion it tends to decrease. My pain increases when I panic. I often panic when my pain is severe. I fear losing control or relapsing from irretractable pain from both CRPS and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Being patient with my body and extending grace to my body and extending compassion to my body, especially the areas of my body that hurt, really helps me to be more in control of the pain, rather than the pain being in control of me. When I listened to this meditation, towards the very end, the pain had subsided, but it returned for a split second... almost like my pain was reminding me, " I'm here but I don't have control over you. You have control over me." As soon as I shifted my focus and followed the meditation, that split second of pain subsided.

I love the idea of sending compassion to the pain in my back. It really made a difference and will now be something I practice daily. 🙏🏻

So peaceful and calming in releasing my low back tension and pain. I loved the compassion component.

I didn’t have back pain but used the mediation as a general compassion meditation - had some neck pain and residual tension from severe anxiety from earlier in the day. This helped me release it and offer compassion to my whole torso. Thank you.

Genuinely helpful in reducing pain and calming my resistance to pain. Thank you!
