Cover of the book Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief

Pain itself, which can feel unrelenting and overwhelming, has the potential to become our teacher and, ultimately, a friend, if we can learn to listen deeply to it, even for brief moments. This is the core offering of Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief, a time-tested and research-supported approach to healing and transformation that has the potential to be effective no matter what obstacles we may be facing.

Developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn—the founder of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and a leading voice in the ever-expanding mindfulness space—this in-depth teaching offers a series of evidence-based practices and guided meditations that anyone can apply gently and effectively to address even intense forms of pain and suffering.

Soothing and beautifully illustrated, Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief guides readers through:

  • bullet Mindfulness of one’s own breath sensations throughout the body
  • bullet Working skillfully and delicately with intense sensations wherever they might arise
  • bullet Befriending thoughts and emotions of any kind, especially difficult ones
  • bullet Taking refuge in awareness
  • bullet Bringing mindfulness into everyday life

For anyone tired of suffering from the challenges that chronic pain presents to living a full and appreciative life, this is a welcome guide.
