By breathing into it we create this mindful focus that actually sends signals that are pain blockers to those parts of your body.
Ever wondered how to tune into your body's signals and manage pain more effectively? In this episode of Project Recovery, Casey Scott revisits a beloved conversation with licensed psychologist Dr. Matt Woolley. Dr. Woolley breaks down the practice of body scan meditation, a technique that can help you focus mindfully on different parts of your body, especially those areas that experience pain. Through simple breathing exercises, he explains how you can send 'pain-blocking' signals to these trouble spots.
But that's not all. Dr. Woolley also delves into the broader benefits of regular meditation, such as stress reduction and improved mental health. He even highlights how meditation can increase the density of your prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and emotional regulation. This is particularly useful for athletes or anyone dealing with chronic pain. The episode wraps up with a 10-minute guided meditation, offering you a practical tool to integrate mindfulness into your daily routine.
Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this episode provides valuable insights and techniques to help you on your journey to better mental and physical health.
