Mindfulness-based pain management

Have you ever had a boo boo that hurt a lot? It really hurts and you want it to go away. Sometimes when we get hurt, we feel the pain for a very long time, and it can make us feel sad or angry.

Mindfulness-based pain management is a way to help your boo boo feel better without using medicine. Instead, you learn how to use your mind to help you feel less pain.

When we are mindful, we pay attention to what is happening in our body and our mind. This helps to calm down our thoughts and feelings, and we feel less stressed.

When you have a boo boo that hurts, you can use mindfulness by focusing on your breathing, and when you breathe in, imagine that you are sending healing air to the boo boo, and when you breathe out, imagine that you are letting go of the pain.

Another way to use mindfulness is to focus on your senses. You can think about what you see, what you hear, what you smell, what you taste, and what you feel. This helps you to get your mind off the pain, and it can make you feel better.

With mindfulness-based pain management, you learn how to use your mind to help you feel better. You can use these techniques anytime you have a boo boo, and it can help you feel less pain without medicine.
