Product Description
Mindfulness can transform pain. Over the past three decades, Jon Kabat-Zinn has clinically proven it. Now, with Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief, the man who brought mindfulness into mainstream medicine presents for the first time on audio his original practices for using conscious awareness to free us from physical and emotional suff ering. This long-awaited two-CD program begins with an overview of how mindfulness changes the way our bodies process pain and stress. Listeners will learn tips and techniques for working with the mind and embracing whatever arises in our lives, however challenging. Then Jon Kabat-Zinn leads us in guided meditations drawn from his pioneering Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) methodology to help us work with and find relief from chronic pain, everyday stress, and emotional challenges, as well as to read and act appropriately in the face of acute pain. "Mindfulness can reveal what is deepest and best in ourselves and bring it to life in very practical and imaginative ways--just when we need it the most," explains Jon Kabat-Zinn. Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief gives us a ready tool for overcoming even the most extraordinary difficulties.

 Best pain management tool on the market today! July 19, 2010
Elizabeth Ann Johnston (Georgetown, TX, US)

I have had four spinal surgeries which have left me with daily back pain. I also have fibromyalgia and advanced arthritis in my knees. I have read many, many books, listened to CD's, watched DVD's and studied holistic pain management for several years now. This is quite simply the best method for managing pain that I know of today! Jon Kabat-Zinn knows of which he speaks!!! It takes discipline and practice, which Jon mentions on the first disc, but the effort is well worth the time spent! I highly recommend this CD set! Ann J.

 Pretty good. July 16, 2010

This tape is interesting and somewhat effective/ Dr. Kabat-Zinn relies heavily on focusing on your breaths. This method is slightly uncomfortable for me but probably works well for others. |
I think his method is pretty effective for pain reduction or at least distraction from your pain.
Ordering from the US. to Canada July 7, 2010

I was unaware when I ordered that I could order these books from amazon.ca because I had only heard of amazon.com before and this was the first time I had ever ordered anything online. I'm quite unhappy that there was no message saying that these books were available from amazon.ca so not only did I have to pay for shipping from the US. to Canada but I also paid in US. funds. I should have been informed and given the choice. I feel taken advantage of and ripped off.

I usually don't go for guided meditations. Often the person talking says things that are distracting or otherwise how I do not think. However this CD set is a good introduction to guided meditation in general and seems to be at least somewhat effective for pain relief. The program here is well done with appropriate voice, topics, and timing. I cannot think of a better place to start with this subject.
If you are adventurous then I would also recommend you consider other mediums such as acupuncture for pain relief. I have tried many modalities of healing and find acupuncture, when performed by a practitioner who also supports your time on the table with Qi Gong and/or aromatherapy to be very effective at many levels
Like a gentle friend March 29, 2010

As a psychologist, I frequently recommend mindfulness meditation to my patients. One of my patients, who struggles with chronic pain, described this contribution as "a gentle friend." These meditations comfort her when she feels alone and afraid. Kabat-Zinn has a gentle way of guiding and explaining strategies for living and coping making this collection a valuable tool for anyone struggling with chronic pain. What is simple and profound is the possibility for changing one's relationship with the pain through mindfulness.
