Mindfulness and Pain

Have you considered using mindfulness for dealing with pain?  Simply sit comfortably in the quiet, focus on your breath and clear your mind.  No judgement if your mind wanders.  Simply just come back to the breath and focus on the rising and falling of your chest.  The expansion and contraction of your belly. Set a timer or use my favorite app called Headspace.  More on them here: http://bit.ly/mindfulGuud 

PLEASE NOTE: If you are sitting with your pain for the first time, you might find that it seems worse or more intense.  But that's not necessarily bad.  Sitting with you pain *should* change something in you.  Keep up with it.  If it's the actual sitting part causing you more pain you might need a position change or even to lie down while you practice.
