When trying to heal a long term injury, how much do you think mediation helps?
Discussion
I would go for spending time in sunlight.
It's doing wonders for me.
Hope you can heal your injury 🫂
Agree! I'm moving to the beach so I'll be super charging in the sun 😎🌞
I've been listening to podcasts about pain and how it stems from your brain. I agree to an extent but also some injuries you have to actually physically heal, too.
One time I found a pressure point on my hand to alleviate a recurring pain in my knee (post ACL replacement) while I was lying down, meditating post yoga. That was interesting and useful.
Also meditation helps relax the muscles around the injured area and I'd venture to say that can only help. It can also improve your mindset, reduce stress, and give you clarity on what you should do to help yourself heal.
mediation is the correct word: u use cerebral hemisphere mediation (balancing) in order to come up with the best solution for the injury, which will be a mix of creative and logical actions. "meditation" by itself will not help u - action is required, so do not meditate too long.
👏👏👏
Meditation is key … but not necessarily the sitting kind.
Light intentional movement (or even a comfortable lie down) provides an excellent opportunity to deepen internal focus in understanding the problem area.
Sounds weird, but I do this all the time. Not right after injury, during the hot phase, but during the healing phase and even long term, if healing has stalled. Body awareness is absolutely key … and time for “meditation” is what gets us there.
