Summary

Discover how mindfulness can transform your relationship to pain and suffering, with Jon Kabat-Zinn
We know that practicing mindfulness in everyday life can help us reduce stress and cultivate deep, embodied well-being—but what about its effects on physical and emotional pain, especially when it seems overwhelming or unrelenting?

Jon Kabat-Zinn developed Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to help medical patients with ongoing pain conditions who were not responding to conventional therapies. Since then, the practices of MBSR have become world-renowned for their effectiveness in pain management. With Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief, Kabat-Zinn provides a range of evidence-based mindfulness meditation practices that anyone can apply gently and effectively to even the most intense forms of pain and suffering.

Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief is a soothing program with guided meditations and teachings. It opens with an overview of seven fundamental attitudes we can develop to cultivate mindfulness in relationship to chronic pain and its incessant challenges, and follows with concepts and practices including: mindful breathing, working with intense sensations, befriending thoughts and emotions, finding refuge in awareness, and bringing mindfulness into every 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.

Thus is an excellent audio book. Extremely helpful and at a good pace.
I have been practicing mindfulness for pain for nearly eight weeks and it has really helped. The pain does not always go away but it is becoming less of an enemy.
I have found quieter moments also in other parts of my life through being able to recognise an emotion and what is attached to it.

I highly recommend this.

Excellent

If you could sum up Meditation for Pain Relief in three words, what would they be?

Easy and effective

What did you like best about this story?

Story aside, I have tried many audio books for pain relief meditation over the years and this is by far, way out there in front, the best. It is grounded in clinical research and is backed up by many other resources if you want to go further, although I don't think there is any real need as this is so good. I may change my mind when I've been using it longer than a few weeks, time will tell.

Which character – as performed by Jon Kabat-Zinn – was your favourite?

This isn't really an appropriate question given the subject matter, but I do like the fact that it's presented/read out by the Doc who instigated the programme . You really get a sense of his dedication and commitment in developing the programme.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely and many times more.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend this to anyone who experiences chronic debilitating pain. It is a no nonsense practical resource which contains the best and easiest instructions for developing mindfulness I have ever come across. It also contains some truly life enhancing information. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Excellent resource for chronic pain sufferers.

What made the experience of listening to Meditation for Pain Relief the most enjoyable?

If you are interested in mindfulness meditation techniques and unable, for whatever reason, to attend the actual course, Kabat-Zinn's book is an excellent introduction. Narrated by the author and containing guided meditations, the Audiobook affords the listener the opportunity of an 'aural transmission' from a meditator of considerable experience.Kabat-Zinn's gently modulated tones create an ideal atmosphere for meditating, as the Author encourages the listener to tune into or out of the narration as necessary. Kabat-Zinn's experience as a meditator and meditation teacher is evident in the light touch he brings to bear on all the frequently encountered challenges to the development of a regular meditation practice.

Have you listened to any of Jon Kabat-Zinn’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I've also listened to "Full Catastrophe Living" and "Wherever you go, there you are" and feel that this particular performance, being more gently modulated in pitch, pace and intensity, is ideally suited to the purpose at hand.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I have been using this audiobook twice a day for the last three months and have found Kabat-Zinn to be a faithful, non-judgmental and supportive meditation guide: my meditation practice has flourished and I appear to be reaping the rewards in terms of mental and emotional wellbeing. Highly recommended.

Excellent introduction to mindfulness meditation
