That I can take on many things at one
All my thoughts emotions can rise and fall and go through my mind and body at the same time be aware of everything and be ok with it

Finding the opposite of pain..
I learned that the place opposite of the pain, the place where I felt peace and comfort in my body was a surprising location.. I need to reflect on that place, nurture that place of comfort, and begin coping with the physical pain by growing in understanding that place..

Method failure๐Ÿ˜
If I think about a different part of my body that doesnโ€™t have any pain, itโ€™s supposed to help take my mind off the part that does have pain. My pain isnโ€™t constant, but when itโ€™s there, itโ€™s really hard to ignore. But Iโ€™ve always found that deep belly breathing helps to take the tension out of my body, because tension just creates more pain. This meditation method didnโ€™t work for me.

Pain
I felt much better. Anxiety level went down a bit. Pain in my shoulder disappeared.

Breathing
I noticed that when I meditate I become way more in tune with my breathing. I track every breath I take and the way it feels and it brings so much comfort and relief.

Relaxing
I learned that a good way to relax for me is to make sure my forehead is flat. Wouldnโ€™t have thought of that but it makes me relax my body

A new approach
This is a new and potentially very powerful approach to working with chronic pain and even migraine. I awoke in significant pain this morning, early this morning. I have an inflammatory type of arthritis and yesterday was a stressful day. So itโ€™s not really a surprise that my discomfort would be higher than average on the pain scale. So, I used this meditation and feel some relief. Is there a chance a longer version of this meditation could be made available? Thank you.

Ehh
I felt distracted and sleepy. It calmed my anxiety and allowed me to focus on the sensations of my body rather than my thoughts that were troubling me

From painful tension into sleep
I have endometriosis and the pain often makes sleep elusive. Last night I fell asleep within moments of listening to this meditation and was able to stay asleep for hours. It was truly wonderful.
