Extreme Pain Meditation

The sensation of pain can be difficult to manage and bring mindfulness into. Extreme pain is a practice of presence as it ties our body and mind to this moment, it is usually however felt in a very stressful and negative way. This meditation allows you to appreciate the gifts your pain is bringing you. Also affirming the gifts of impermanence that each moment dies and a new one is reborn.

It is hard to not take on pain as your identity "I am in pain, I am pain, I am suffering". By listening to this meditation you can listen to the other gifts in this moment, the peace that is offered, the deep inner joy and love that is always accessible to you and building on your connection to these truths. I hope this meditation gifts you a new awareness with your connection to your pain and your body and a stronger connection with your mindfulness and compassion.

This meditation is useful for those undergoing surgery, physical trauma or feeling pain anywhere from a 5-10 on the pain scale.

Oh wonderful. I was having a back pain moment when I woke this morning. This helped soo so much. Before I got out the bed it helped so much. Soft guided voice and music. Controlled my breathing and made be grateful!

That was so deep. It real got me and held me for the duration. For the first time I really felt what is meant when they say to be content with your physical pain. I’m getting closer to doing that. Thank you so much. The woman’s voice was so comforting. I wish she was on more of my meditations! 💙🧘🏼‍♀️🙏🏼🦋

Many thanks to you for this...

Thank you for easing my pain ❤

I suffer from a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia (Google) the normal 1-10 Painscale rarely applies as what a normal person will rate a 10 I will rate a 5.
Tonight I would have given my pain a 17/10. Having no options I found this meditation.
In engaging with your words, my pain has reduced to 8/10.
Thank you 💜 I will be saving this for future emergencies

Very nice! Thank you!

This meditation was helpful for me after dental surgery. I liked being able to focus on the breath and carefully relaxing my mind and body. It helped me shift my attention away from the pain. I also like the background music. It was very relaxing. Thank you!
