Can meditation help with physical pain?

Yes. Meditation enables you to find equanimity even in the midst of the most difficult circumstances, including physical pain. While the pain itself won’t go away, you’ll learn how to avoid the knee-jerk negative feelings and anxiety that frequently attend physical pain, which can provide profound relief. We recommend Pain without Suffering with Vidyamala Burch, or the guided meditation on working with pain in the SOS series, both of which can be found in the 'Practice' section of Explore.
