4-Week Mindfulness for Managing Pain: An Introduction
Physical pain is not only felt in the body; our thoughts, feelings, and emotional reactions influence our experience of chronic pain. These normal stress-pain reactions can contribute to making the pain worse. Mindfulness practices can bring awareness to these automatic reactions and empower us to skillfully choose how we respond.
