Pain Relief

The relief from pain is when I am sleeping. 

I could be medicated and sleep my life away,

but that is not living. I fight it and have learned to cope.

I have learned to meditate, relax my breathing.

In my mind I picture a beautiful and colorful landscape.,

full of birds chirping. 

I can see a humming bird busy by the red flowering bush.

I see baby rabbits chasing one another.

Oh how relaxing and serene it is.

When I finish meditating, I feel my body relaxed. 

The pain is less now.

Join me, and let's begin to meditate

Some people like to listen to soft  music  to begin

Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit.

close your eyes and relax.

Your breathing will begin to slow down.

Picture in your mind a serene place.

A place that is your very own.

Let your mind drift and feel the beauty of your place.

This place belongs to you and you alone.

Your place feels no pain, it sees the beauty.

If it is the ocean, watch and listen to the waves hitting the shore.

If it is the mountains, try looking around and

 see  the birds  flying and chirping away.

Look to see if there is a water fall and listen 

to the tranquil sound of the water falling.

When you are finished give your self a tight hug

 and then release slowly.

Then give yourself a light hug and smile.

You just were able to relax and meditate.

I knew you could do it.

Practice this and it will become easier over time,

  the benefits are worth it.
