 Studies demonstrate that by doing only 20 minutes-a-day of a Guided Pain Relief Meditation Technique, over a five-week period showed significant improvement for:

• A higher tolerance to pain;

• decreased anxiety, stress and depression;

• increased activity levels;

• decreased use of pain-related medications; and increased levels of self-esteem (Mills, 1981; Kabat-Zinn, 1985; Harmon, 1999).

The mind is the most powerful pharmaceutical factory on earth. We need to learn how to tap-into it. This program utilizes mind-to-body pain relief techniques, that helps the user tap into his or her own inner resources to better manage the pain.

Guided Pain Meditation produced a greater reduction in pain than even morphine or other pain-relieving drugs!

A report from the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center states that meditation can be more effective than morphine. "This is the first study to show that only a little over an hour of meditation training can dramatically reduce both the experience of pain and pain-related brain activation," said Fadel Zeidan, PhD, lead author of the study and post-doctoral research fellow at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. "We found a big effect – about a 40 per cent reduction in pain intensity and a 57 per cent reduction in pain unpleasantness. Meditation produced a greater reduction in pain than even morphine or other pain-relieving drugs, which typically reduce pain ratings by about 25 per cent." (Mills, 1981; Kabat-Zinn, 1985; Harmon, 1999)

The meditative technique called mindfulness meditation, has been successfully used in treatment programs to reduce pain and improve mood in patients with chronic pain from a variety of conditions, including facial pain, coronary and non coronary chest pain, gastrointestinal pain, low back, neck and shoulder pain and headache (Kabat-Zinn, 1982).

This is an easy-to-use, three-week mind-to-body-pain relief program that works! it is a compilation of the experience of many persons suffering from acute or chronic pain. The program is aimed at encouraging those who are experiencing pain to look at it from a new perspective and to realize that they have vast inner resources upon which they can rely to cope with it. If mental and emotional states can make you ill.... they can also make you well! Mind-to-body mechanisms can trigger within us relaxation responses and the release of “endorphins” — the body’s natural morphine

This program helps you to stay ahead of pharmaceutically oriented treatment and assist pain sufferers in utilizing their major pain relief resource – themselves.

At most, this pain workbook will help you accomplish what the program has done or hundreds of pain sufferers: achieve a safe, drug-free or drug reduced method of effective pain management. At the very least, it will help you come to better terms with your pain.

If mental and emotional states can make you ill.... they can also make you well! Mind-to-body mechanisms can trigger within us relaxation responses and the release of “endorphins” — the body’s natural morphine. If you’ve ever enjoyed a satisfying physical workout, you are aware of the feeling of well-being associated with the release of endorphins. Pain sufferers can also manage pain by gaining access to this natural bodily process. Many studies demonstrate that simple relaxation and meditation techniques actually produce a similar response of well-being in the body. New pain and the immune system discoveries suggest that our state of mind affects us, down to the cellular level. For acute and chronic pain sufferers, relaxation and guided pain relief techniques offers a new hope.

A Reminder: this Natural Pain Management program only helps you with pain! It does not heal diseases such as arthritis or cancer that cause pain. This program should be followed under the supervision of your regular medical practitioner. An unsettling statistic shows that 18% of all people reporting pain, which they consider to be severe or unbearable, had not consulted a physician because they didn’t think anything could help. If you are experiencing pain, consult a physician immediately.
