The Mind/Body Control Center

Hi it's me again with another meditation for pain management.

A. Make yourself comfortable and allow yourself to relax completely. Take several deep cleansing breaths.

B. Now in your mind's eye, picture yourself in a control center. As you walk through this room, you'll notice the various dials & knobs that control every bodily function & sensation. You can pratice by finding a knob that controls tingling in your hands. Then turn it up a little and pay attention to how your hands feel. Be mindful of how your hands feel as you do this. The more you picture them tingling, the more they'll feel that way. Next, turn the knob back to normal. If you can use this visualization to create sensations that weren't there, you can also use it to reduce sensations that are there just by going into your control center and adjusting the knobs to your comfort level.

C. When you're ready to finish, take 1-2 final deep cleansing breaths, count slowly to 5, stretch yourself out a bit, & slowly open your eyes. Take these good feelings with you as you go on with the rest of your day or evening.

I hope that you find this meditation helpful for managing discomfort or pain. I'll be back in a couple of days with a new meditation. Until then ~Nameste~,

Dana
