When we practice meditation that brings our attention to our bodies, we may become aware of many aches and pains in our bodies that we hadn’t noticed before. These could be very subtle or they could be very noticeable. A pain or discomfort in a particular area of the body we may be inclined to try to get away from it or change it somehow, which is a natural reaction. If the pain isn’t a result of some specific physical problem, like in the knees for example, then this may be a chance to really deal with the potential for release and healing.

The practice of body-centered meditation will probably make us aware of aches and pains we hadn’t noticed before. These feelings could be powerful or mild. A pain in a certain area of the body will naturally make us want to stop or change it, or just get away from it. Unless this pain is connected to a very specific problem, like a knee injury, it could actually present us with an opportunity for growth and healing if we can choose to release it.

For centuries meditation has been a widespread practice in many cultures throughout the world, and originated in the East. The word meditation can describe any number of methods and practices, including transcendental meditation, mindful meditation, or guided meditation. Many different techniques are used, whether it’s following the breath, or focusing the attention on a particular word or object. Sometimes people use a special posture while meditating, but not always.
