Book Reviews of Break Through Pain: A Step-by-Step Mindfulness Meditation Program for Transforming Chronic and Acute Pain
Book Review: Good material for those in pain....
Summary: 4 Stars
Shinzen Young is a meditation teacher who has been around for a long time. Much of his work is in the area of transforming emotions and pain. This combination book and CD is useful for those who want to get more of a feeling of control around pain.
Specifically, this book teaches you the relationship between attention and pain, softening around pain and having a different experience of it through training the mind to hold it differently. While it won't take the place of morphine, it will certainly help people in pain to live with it more easily. It will also help them to reduce their anxiety around pain, which aggravates the subjective experience of pain.
I am no stranger to pain having gone through a back, neck and wrist surgery. I teach meditation myself and I have graduate education in biology, biochemistry and psychology. I feel I am in a good position to judge the merits of the book and the book certainly has many merits as does the CDs. If you are interested in an introduction to several types of meditation, you might also like The Beginner's Guide to Meditation. If you are quite serious about meditation, you can look at a variety of references on my listmania lists which appear on my profile.

Summary of Break Through Pain: A Step-by-Step Mindfulness Meditation Program for Transforming Chronic and Acute Pain
In Break Through Pain, meditation teacher Shinzen Young draws on his 20 years of scientific research on meditative states to create an easy, effective practice for pain relief. With him, listeners will learn how to: "Step outside" of pain as they learn to focus attention and awareness with meditation, and enjoy "breath pleasure," a physiological tool to soothe the nervous system, improve circulation, boost energy, and promote overall healing, release anger, fear, or resentment negative emotions that actually amplify pain, and work with pain as an unexpected gateway to liberated states of experience, and much more.General Books
