Practice For Acute Pain

This short practice is a powerful tool for decreasing acute, isolated pain. This very simple technique can be used anytime. The process has evolved since I first started using it for an injury causing severe pain. I now use it regularly as an ending meditation in my Functional Fitness class for older adults who regularly struggle with joint pain, all of whom report a significant improvement post-practice.

I was in tears of agony while waiting for an emergency dentist appointment. The pain is so big but also I feel trapped by it, like I was starting to go a little crazy. I decided to try to find an acute pain meditation not thinking it would work too well but hoping for a calmer mind. This meditation was SO effective. I was wrong about how effective it could be. I was able to bring the Jello-o texture, sage green color and cat purring sound from my blissfully pain-free belly up into my blinding red, cheese grater texture, banshee screaming tooth. I cannot believe how much the pain in the tooth subsided. The pain went from a panicking, crying 8 down to a manageable 4 or 5. Which is miraculous when you’re in a starting-to-freak-out level of pain. I’m so relieved, I’m so grateful, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you. I have practiced this technique before but forgotten about it.

Literally one of the most brilliant ways to manipulate the synapses I have ever heard this was so so magnificent and helpful- I’m recovering from surgery and literally just used this to be able to use the bathroom. THANK YOU.

I found that helpful with lower back pain. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this pain changing meditation 💙🙏 it is wonderful to feel the sunshine in the pain areas and smile 🗺 stay safe and happy 🙏Namaste
