Body Meditation For Pain

This general meditation explores the sensations of a specific pain. The meditation begins with a quick body scan, moves into a deep investigation of a specific pain, and ends with expanding our consciousness to improve tolerance of the pain. The goal is for the listener to dampen the pain sensations with surrounding neutral sensations and a wider awareness beyond just the pain, thus making the pain feel smaller and easier to handle.

Note: the concept of anchor is used in this meditation. Your anchor is a neutral physical sensation to pay attention to. Examples include your breath, the feeling of your feet on the ground, open listening, your heartbeat, and the feeling of your forehead.
