Episode 389: 'Can Meditation Relieve Pain and Anxiety❓'

Mindfulness is said to be especially effective during times of pain.

It is often said that mindfulness meditation helps ease pain when dealing with physical pain, anxiety, or depressive states. Pharmacist Ucchi gently addresses the listener's questions and explains the mechanism in an easy-to-understand way.

The problem is overthinking too many things.

In our daily lives, when we are focused on work or study, we don't think about unnecessary things. However, when we lack focus, we tend to think negatively about the past or the future. This state where various distractions overflow in the mind is a major cause of intensifying negative emotions and anxiety.

It is important to have time to focus on what is right in front of you.

By creating time to focus solely on what is in front of you and not think about other things, you can give your brain a solid rest. Practical methods to lighten the heart through familiar habits, such as when drinking your favorite tea, are discussed, but please listen to the main episode for the rest.
