Description

"The most lucid and effective guidance for transcending pain I have ever encountered." ―Charles T. Tart, PhD, editor of Altered States of ConsciousnessThe newest treatment for pain is one of the oldest, most effective strategies for pain-free living: mindfulness. With Natural Pain Relief, meditation expert Shinzen Young teaches you how to retrain your relationship to pain through traditional meditation practices. Drawing from 40 years of results in the field, this widely respected teacher offers the essential techniques that have proven successful at pain-management centers around the country. This integrated learning program adapts the core principles of mindfulness training to a practical process that can treat even extreme, chronic pain effectively, possibly reducing the need for drugs or surgery. Through step-by-step techniques taught in plain language, you’ll learn how to overcome your internal resistance to pain by observing and opening to it, which is the key to transforming physical suffering into a flow of pure energy. With regular practice, you can tap into your mind’s own power to overcome physical pain. Five guided practices include: How to deconstruct pain into manageable pieces • Experience how pain naturally transforms into energy • How to allow pain to dissipate into space • Use the "Breath Pleasure" technique to dramatically soothe pain • Free up your energy to heal and begin living your life again Previously released as Break Through Pain.

Less than 100 pages of great information
Format: Paperback
The "Natural Pain Relief" book is being used in a 4-week class. I am so happy to get this book. It's easy to read, less than 100 pages of very good information.

This book describes a method that is hard work, but it works
Format: Paperback
If you have chronic pain, inescapable pain, pain that doesn't respond enough to pain meds, or if you have had it with the fog that comes with pain meds, this is a path to a different relationship and experience of pain. And that, of course, is only a small part of the benefits of regular and focused practice of meditation. ... show more

Transcendent Usefulness
Format: Paperback
I was recommended to Shinzen Young by Mark Nunberg the head teacher of Common Ground Meditation Center. His recommendation was for a friend of mine dealing with bone cancer. A year later I found myself suffering with a pinched nerve and shoulder impingement that rivaled broken bones in painful sensation for me. The book and accompanying meditations (CD) helped me to reframe the pain, lesson my resistance, and surprisingly strengthened my meditation practice. This practice has also helped me with fear of death, and all manner of painful issues. Deep gratitude to Shinzen. ... show more

Not written by monk, but by a scholarly practitioner probably more skilled than most.. Very interesting.
Format: Paperback
I am still reading this book - so this may be a bit premature. His credentials are interesting and that takes up the first few chapters before you get to the reason you bought the book. A toss up for me between the simplicity of Peace in Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh and the more scholarly approach. However, I have a need to control pain, and this book was recommended by a friend who is a psychologist. I think the prices for these books are high for paperbacks - but then the knowledge may be well worth it. ... show more

This method works
Format: Paperback
The book is well written and the bonus of a CD to help one master the Pain Relief system. Its not an overnite wonder but with consistent practice with the meditation one can get pain relief. Have tried all kinds of natural pain relievers to no avail. Have had some consistent results using this method. Practicing the meditations gives you more than pain relief but a desire to be mindfull in all situations. ... show more

I am so glad to have found this book and cd
Format: Paperback
The cd that comes with the book is worth the price alone. I am so glad to have found this book and cd. Anyone who suffers from chronic pain can benefit from this no nonsense read and guided meditation. Very practical and effective. Thank you Shinzen. Update: it’s been five years since this book came into my life and the meditation technique described is as relevant today as ever. So many people struggle with chronic pain these days as our population ages. Masking the pain with drugs or running from pain is not the solution. I have learned to accept and live with pain as a teacher rather than an enemy. ... show more

Natural Pain Relief is excellent!
Format: Paperback
I was never into "New Age" mumbo jumbo but since it is getting harder and harder to find a doctor that will treat chronic pain because they apparently think we are all drug-seeking addicts (instead of people who have been involved in head-on collisions by drunk drivers), I took a GIANT leap into New Age. I am pleased with this book/CD combo. This is not a quick fix and won't have you doing the mamba tomorrow, but it will teach you how to reduce your own suffering and improve the quality of your life. Give it a try, keep an open mind, and keep trying and you WILL experience a reduction in your suffering. ... show more

wish I could say I was great
Format: Kindle
Perhaps for ordinaries like myself (meaning; tried meditation over years, just got nowhere, etc etc) I must say I find this Buddhist approach to suffering and resistance utterly impotent. I know there will be 3 or 4 people who will want to counter my point or tell me it’s just that I haven’t either put in the work or else I have “closed off” my mind to understanding…. And yep, they may be right. But if only exceptional people who have decades of monastery experience and retreats into isolated mountains (or who have dramatic psychedelic experiences) are able to make sense of this stuff, it seems nature set up the game for too few to win. So I’m going to be brutally honest… I don’t believe a word of this. If you are prone to being very tranquil under distress (highly “distress tolerant”) than sure, practice of mindful awareness and the course grained truth of pain as a forever changing energy passing through is perhaps attainable. I just want to say that very few of us are put together this way. Shinzen sounds like a completely genuine and wise soul, but absolutely no one word of this book I feel would help me. I recently had surgery and the the post-op hurt like hell. That’s it. I bore up. There was no technique except the will to live and the knowledge that eventually it would get better. I would say if it never got better I would have preferred to die. Respectfully, I am skeptical that reading this book can illicit any change whatsoever in your relationship with pain. Perhaps if you lived with Shinzen over time and experienced him as a life coach then yes. But in print…sorry…no. ... show more
