How You Can Ease Your Aches and Pain With Meditation
Five minutes of quiet, focused time can help
If you feel aches and pain, you might find yourself reaching for a bottle of pain relievers more than you’d like. But there is a free and simple way to feel better: meditation.
Meditation is a great tool that can help ease pain — and can reduce your overall stress, too.
What is meditation?
Meditation is focusing your attention on one thing for a period of time, says lifestyle medical expert Jane Ehrman, MEd.
When we are stressed, our bodies trigger the release of stress hormones, causing inflammation, and increasing pain to already irritated joints, Ms. Ehrman says. Meditation shifts your focus to something quiet and calm, reducing inflammation and pain.
“When you can get into that quieter state of mind through meditation, your body isn’t releasing stress hormones into the bloodstream,” Ms. Ehrman says. “The brain can release endorphins, a natural pain reliever. Muscles and tissues around the joints are more relaxed, and the brain can be in a calmer state and you feel less pain.”
A recent study showed that mindfulness-based stress reduction, which combines meditation and yoga, was more effective than drugs and surgery for alleviating chronic low-back pain.
In addition to reducing the release of stress hormones, with practice, meditation can increase your pain tolerance, lower hypertension and deepen respirations, Ms. Ehrman says.
“You’re shifting your focus away from the pain,” she says. “Your mind responds to what you give attention. Meditation helps you to use your mind in a powerful, helpful, positive way. ”
How to meditate
Getting started with meditation is simple. Sit comfortably or lie down in a quiet place, with few interruptions, close your eyes and focus on your breath.
“Breathe normally and notice the rhythm of your breaths — your chest expanding and contracting. On deeper breaths, let go of body tension as you exhale slowly,” Ms. Ehrman says.
Begin by meditating for just five minutes. Use a kitchen timer or the timer on your smart phone or watch. Practice meditating a few times a week to start and work up to 15 or 20 minutes.
Meditation is a practice, Ms. Ehrman emphasizes. Your body and mind experience benefits even when it feels as though you didn’t meditate well.
“There is no perfection to achieve, just a practice of being aware and present,” she says.
“Thoughts coming and going are normal,” she says. “Observe the thought, without judgment or engaging with it, and go back to your breathing.”
Within three weeks of daily meditation for 15 minutes to 20 minutes, you can rewire your brain to be less stressed and more responsive, Ms. Ehrman says.” You are more present, calmer and can function better.”

Numerous claims about the benefits of meditation have been advanced by its practitioners and advocates—from lowering blood pressure and controlling stress, to even reducing crime rates and drug addiction.
But many of these claims are based on hearsay and anecdotes, and are therefore not taken seriously by the academic and scientific communities.
Recently, there appears to be some scientific evidence that the so-called “mindfulness” meditation can really reduce and control bodily aches and pains.
Science News reported as early as January 2011 that studies done at the Massachusetts General Hospital showed that an eight-week mindfulness meditation program created “measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress.”
We are only recently beginning to understand why meditation produces such results. Previous studies found structural differences between brains of experienced meditators. Scientists found there was “a thickening of the cerebral cortex in areas associated with attention and emotional integration.”
Increased gray matter
How did they discover this? Magnetic resonance images were taken of the brain structure of 16 participants two weeks before and after they took part in the meditation program at University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness Meditation. A set of MR brain images was also taken of a control group of non-meditators over a similar time interval.
Results of the study? Researchers found “increased gray matter density in the hippocampus, known to be important for learning and memory, and in structures associated with self-awareness, composure and introspection.”
Participants also reported “reductions in stress which are connected with gray matter density in another area of the brain called the amygdala, which is known to play an important role in anxiety and stress.” None of these changes were seen in the control group.
But are these benefits and brain structural changes associated only with the so-called “mindfulness meditation?”
I don’t think so. Mindfulness simply means being present at the moment and focusing on what’s happening inside your mind without judgment, analysis or questioning.
All types of meditation can be called mindfulness meditation. They are “transcendental,” meaning beyond the merely physical or material. A variation of meditation is called “centering” meditation. They are all the same, to my mind.
Meditation by any other name will still result in the same effects, as Shakespeare would have said.
Harvard cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson pointed out that all types of meditations (which he calls the relaxation response) have the following basic elements:
1) A quiet environment—to remove outside distractions
2) A mental device—which can be any word, idea, sound or object which the mind can focus on
3) A passive attitude—meaning a “letting-go feeling,” and not reacting to any internal or external distraction
4) A comfortable position— which may either be lying or sitting down
When you have attained these four basic requirements, you are in a state of meditation, by whatever name you call it.

Meditation For Beginners
How to Meditate When You Can’t Sit Still (Like, Ever)
JULY 18, 2016 by SARA NOVAK
Meditation has a laundry list of benefits. It reduces anxiety and depression while improving concentration, work productivity, relationships, and even addictive tendencies. But in our fast-paced, distraction-filled society, learning how to meditate can be intimidating. And for those of us with racing thoughts and anxiety, it can even seem out of reach.
Luckily, a lesser known type of meditation called Osho dynamic meditation is the perfect form for those who want the benefits of meditation, but can’t sit still.
What Is Dynamic Meditation?
Osho dynamic meditation is a revolutionary technique designed by a guru and spiritual teacher named Osho. Although Osho passed away in 1990, his techniques are still very popular within the meditation community. According to Anil Chandwani of the OSHO management team, the guru designed the meditations to help us move away from the mind center and move toward the heart center.
“Our entire energy focus has shifted from the heart to the head so even during meditation our minds are running the show,” says Chandwani.
Chandwani, who travels all over the world leading meditation sessions, says that Osho dynamic meditation is designed to remove the hindrances that keep you from being able to sit still and go deep in meditation.
How To Meditate with Dynamic Meditation
Osho dynamic meditation has five stages all of which empty out the body and mind. In the fourth stage, practitioners sit still and enjoy the energy they’ve cultivated.
Stage 1: 10 minutes
The first stage involves breathing deep and rapidly for 10 minutes. Close the eyes and allow the body to move freely, swaying and jumping. The purpose of the chaotic breathing stage is to release repressed emotions hidden deep in the body, says Chandwani. The body is also able to free up blockages.
Stage 2: 10 minutes
It’s all about throwing out the junk that you just brought up. It’s a form of catharsis. You can laugh or cry. In fact, you can even scream. All of the actions that aren’t necessarily allowed in traditional society are encouraged. It’s about detoxing yourself of the junk that you brought up in the first stage.
Stage 3: 10 minutes
Begin jumping up and chanting the mantra Hoo. This may seem silly and even ridiculous, but it actually has an important purpose. The vibration, contends Chandwani, works on energy deep in the body and starts to bring it upward.
Stage 4: 15 minutes
STOP! Freeze wherever you are, in whatever position you find yourself. Don’t arrange the body in any way. A cough, a movement, anything, will dissipate the energy flow and the effort will be lost. Be a witness to everything that is happening to you.
Stage 5: 15 minutes
Celebrate! With music, movement, and dance express whatever is there. Be mindful and enjoy the feeling of freedom.
What Are the Benefits of Dynamic Meditation?
According to Chandwani, you’re actively removing the burdens that keep your brain from being able to relax. In other meditations, the mind is in control, but in Osho dynamic meditation your heart plays a more profound role.
“Meditation shouldn’t be about fighting with the mind,” he says.
By literally shaking out the restlessness you’re finally able to be still. You empty yourself out and then tap into your own energy or life force. That’s where the “magic” happens:
- Releases repressed emotions
- Promotes deep relaxation
- Reduces anxiety or overactive mind
- It’s fun
By finding a meditation that actually works for you, you’re better able to enjoy the benefits of being present for the life that you’re living. Instead of constantly being stuck in your head, you can let your heart lead the way.
It should be mentioned that the original purpose of yoga, which is now most often practiced as a fitness routine, was to be able to sit still in meditation. And the purpose of this meditation is much the same. By shaking the restlessness out of the body through the practice or whatever mindful movement works for you, facing stillness doesn’t seem quite so far fetched.
How Can I Start Dynamic Meditation?
Osho dynamic meditation retreats go on all over the world and being in a group is a great way to be inspired and feel like you’re a part of something larger. There’s also a retreat center in Pune, India. But if a meditation retreat isn’t in the books for you right now, not to worry, you can establish your own practice at home by following an Osho video. It takes an hour of your time, and you never know, it could finally unlock the key to being able to meditate.

Some use meditation as a tool to manage stress
RIDLEY TOWNSHIP >> The class is quiet; you hear only the ticking of the clock. Six people sit in a circle, eyes closed, deep in meditation. It is Meditation Saturdays at the Ridley Township Library. On the third Saturday of the month, Rich Conti leads the group. The first hour is for beginners where he leads them in basic meditation instruction; the second hour is for the more experienced but beginners are welcomed, too. Saturdays Mediation is new at the library this summer.
Using the technology on an iPhone, Conti has a chime app set to time the minutes of mindfulness meditation. In between he monitors the class seeing if they want to increase the time and how beginners feel during meditating.
For some in the group, daily meditation is a part of their life. For others, it is new.
Linda Minton of Folsom does Magnified and Reiki healing. She has been meditating since the 1990s. She finds being in a group is beneficial to slating time to meditate.
She isn’t alone. According to Conti many of the people who meditate find it better in a group setting.
Conti stared meditating in the 1980s when he went to Zen Retreats he found he had lots to learn about meditating. Today he shares his knowledge with others. On Mondays and Fridays at 1 p.m. he holds group meditations at the Schoolhouse Senior Center in Folsom.
“Meditation helps with stress reduction, you still have stress, but it is definitely helpful. It helps with anxiety and sleep problems. It’s a tool to use when you are dealing with stress. When you meditate when you aren’t stressed, you have this tool to use to deal with stress better,” said Conti.
“People are interested in meditation but not comfortable with it, then when they see what happens here, they understand it. Taking time out is good. Your breathing slows down and your body is relaxing. We don’t give ourselves permission to do that. It takes three to six months to get it. Just going to a group gives you a time out to do something with mediation. It’s very accessible but a lot of us have an aversion to sitting still. We have to be doing something every moment,” said Conti.
Conti sees a resurgence of meditation. The Rutledge resident was even asked by Boscov Department Store to teach workshops in meditation but he declined.
“Meditation is very useful and spreading very fast. It is popping up everywhere. Meditation has been part of the Asian culture for a very long time but it’s only been here (America) for 100 years. It’s very new here,” said Conti.
Wallingford resident Sheila Marcy, a retired teacher, taught first and second grade at Wallingford Elementary School in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. She used meditation in her classes to help with imagination using the book, “Put Your Mother on the Ceiling,” written by Richard deMille. She had her students use muscle relaxation, guided imagery, meditation and deep breathing through it all.
“Every day morning and night I meditate but the length of time varies on how much I need it. Sometimes five minutes, sometimes 30 minutes,” said Marcy.
Conti explains that there are many ways to meditate: Mindful Breathing, Guided Imagery, Walking Meditation, Silent Meditation, Guided Meditation, Mantras, Mandalas and even listening to music.
“There are many apps that you can download that can guide you in meditation. A lot of people who come to our groups or workshops started with Yoga. There are 20-30 techniques that you can use. You really can’t learn it from books,” said Conti.
Conti has a CD with different tracks with different variations on how to meditate.
He has three simple basic things you must do to be successful in meditation: Sit still, shut up — no talking, no listening, no distractions and pay attention to your breathing.
“I find it very beneficial to show people what to do. I like sharing it with people and helping them get started, “said Conti.

A Geometrical Theory of the Aether Utilizing Tetrahedrons
A Geometrical Theory of the Aether Utilizing Tetrahedrons
“Tetryonics takes quantized energy and angular momenta, which is normally expressed in the form of Planck’s Constant, and says there is one form with two properties either side of that one form. The form being an equilateral triangle and the two properties being positive and negative charge.
Any neutral energy quanta, or triangle will have a positive side and a negative side when floating in free space and being measured. As its charge measurement goes, even though it has the properties of positive and negative, it will in fact be neutral. This has led to a lot of problems in the detection and formulation of Quantum Mechanics from our Classical viewpoint.
https://keychests.com/?ck=dgvpbzpwnaiv by HoloFractal Explorer
What must be stressed and what will be seen as you go further and further into Tetryonics, is that the entire universe and everything in it boils down to just ONE geometry. As we’ve discussed that geometry is an equilateral triangle. It is positive and negative charge on either side and as soon as large quanta of those geometries are broken up into separate charges, all they want to do is seek equilibrium.
It doesn’t matter if it’s charge equilibrium or if it’s energy equilibrium, they just want to equalize out into the most stable state they can find. In doing so they create all the nuclear interactions we are familiar with along with the large scale interactions such as gravity. They are also responsible for the Familiar Law of opposites attract and similars repel.
‘Tetryonics – the Charged geometry of EM mass-ENERGY-Matter’ whose founding principle is that of EQUILATERAL energy is the foundational geometry for all quantum mechanical processes is presented here as just such a solution to the current quandaries of Quantum Mechanics.
Equilateral energy geometries offer a completely different explanation for the source of electrostatic charges and their associated magnetic moments.”–ABRAHAM
