Mindfulness and Meditations

[Cynlite]

I know that when I get upset or stressed out, my body is a barometer for how upset I am by jolting up my pain levels. The more upset, the more pain and when I'm really upset it leads to awful muscle spasms. I work hard at remaining calm! So, I created this thread as a place to put meditations that people can access on the internet and refer to in their time of need.

Over in the UK, a person I know with an inoperable spinal tumor told me they required her to go to mindfulness classes. She was suffering in so much pain and was annoyed they would require her to do it. After the classes, she said they helped her and she uses the techniques to manage her pain.

I have been so frustrated lately because getting my surgery scheduled has not been an easy task. I can't seem to get a consensus from the surgeons on what I should have done so, it leaves the decision up to me. On top of it, I am in constant battle with my insurance company to try and get the tests done that the surgeons in Europe need. My dear mother who passed away a few months ago left me her entire cd collection and I have really enjoyed listening to her meditation cds. It's helping me to cope with what is a pretty difficult time. I hope this thread might help others who are also struggling.

Here's the first one. Please feel free to add your favorite meditations or mindfulness videos if you come across any you like!

Thanks for sharing these! :look:

[Cynlite]

You're very welcome Harrison. Maintaining good health can be a complex subject :)

As you know, our state of mind along with chronic pain has such a huge impact on our health. Of course I always knew this but, struggling with chronic pain has brought me a whole new understanding of this concept. I have a greater appreciation for what you went through too watching your movie "Why Am I Still Sick?" so, I know you understand this all too well. I'll send you an email when I finish the movie. It finally got priority in my life so, I'm watching it right now!

Adrenal fatigue can go hand in hand with chronic pain because of the stress it puts us under. The good news is, meditation and mindfulness techniques can help us to feel better but, it requires we make time for it.

Here's a website that is a holy grail for Adrenal Fatigue:

Adrenal Fatigue: How To Recover Naturally (http://adrenalfatiguesolution.com/)

[Cynlite]

Just listen and relax to the music. Don't watch the video especially if you have a migraine! I picked this one because I know that certain frequencies are very good at healing and calming the body and mind. You'll know if the tone works for you because you'll be attracted to it immediately. If not, then don't listen to it! There are some meditations, music and sounds that just really irritate me so, I pass on them. I hope this one helps some of you. I think I'll go hang upside down on my inversion table and listen to it. I've had a rough morning already. Just one simple twisting motion to the left set off horrible pain and a headache. My surgery cannot happen soon enough.

Sending healing thoughts to all of you in this lovely community!

Listen to this for free while it's still available on YouTube. Harold Moses is a very gifted composer and musician. He plays the viola on this album. Anyone classically trained will truly appreciate his gift. I always find his music incredibly relaxing and so lovely.

Wow, if you REALLY need to relax, listen to this recording! I think I had better go lay down for the rest of this meditation. I might fall off my chair :)

If not in the mood for toning or words, this is a very lovely light piano based meditation. It can be used for a deep meditation or to help you relax to go to sleep.

Cynlite, you're so thoughtful and such a great help to others during everything you have been going through personally; still find time for us! Thanks you! Are you any closer to a decision on the surgeon?

[Cynlite]

Thank you Cheryl! I wish I was closer but, sadly I'm not. I'll update later on my European thread when I hear back from Dr. Clavel, Dr. Zeegers and get some more tests done. I wish this wasn't taking so much time because I don't feel well at all. Just trying to stay calm and go with the flow. I can't get surgery until I know what is going on with my C6/C7 auto fusion and possibly my immune system. This has certainly been a puzzle. I have a lumbar issue too but, that is secondary to my neck problems at this point.

[Cynlite]

Stumbled on this one from the same person I posted earlier. This guy is great. I love his voice. What a nice gift he has given to the world :)

Oh my, I had to post this music because of this child's comment about it. Here is what she said in the comment section below it:

"I'm 14 years old and have trouble sleeping. But this, this music, it helps so much. It makes me think about the rest of my life. How i'll live it what choices will i make. This music right here pulls all the darkness out of my self and put something worth putting in it. If the world was filled with music like this there would be nothing standing in our way. We would accomplish anything. There would be no profanity or nothing of the sort. I wish just wish the world was more like this music. Thank You so much for this music if there were more people like the people that listen and make this music in the world this would be a better world to live on. It reminds me of back in the fantasy times and i love fantasy. Sigh feeling sleepy Good Night Everyone :) and have a wonderful and Blissful life."
