Relax and Contemplate

Learning how to relax and breathe deeply and mindfully are essential for people with chronic pain, as it can help relieve the anxiety that comes with any pain. This is an easy exercise that doesn’t require any equipment.



5. Visualization

Step 1. Lie down in a comfortable position and close your eyes (choose your location, be it a bed, a couch or the floor).

Step 2. Put your hands on the belly and mindfully relax your feet, hips, shoulders and neck.

Step 3. Start breathing deeply and slowly through your nose.

Step 4. If you feel a lot of tension, exhale through your mouth, as if sighing, a few times. Feeling how your belly rises and falls with each breath.

Step 5. Continue breathing mindfully and visualize the pain leaving the part of your body that hurts more and more, with every breath.

Continue as long as you need it and repeat as much as you like.

If this goal seems unattainable, start from as much as you can and slowly increase the time, and don’t forget to take your walker or cane on the walk if you’re using one.
