Happy place
Guided imagery meditation can help reduce pain by relaxing your body and taking your mind to a more calming place. Start with deep breathing, pay close attention to each breath as you slowly breathe in and out. Turn on some gentle music or imagine being in a peaceful location. If your mind starts to wander, say ‘refresh’ and concentrate on your vision of peace and tranquillity. Stay there and enjoy it. This will help your body relax, focus the mind, and drive away pain associated with tension or anxiety.
