Can meditation ease physical pain?

[Onecirrus]

I didn't know a toothache could be so agonizing! Will meditation or other spiritual practices help in any way?

[Nahm]

@Onecirrus Yes, and going to the dentist is as spiritual as anything else. Try the gas. ?

I am sure it can. I do this with cold, I get curious about what cold actually is.

Do the same. Inquire into what pain is.

Instead of looking to alleviate and avoid pain, try to observe pain without judgment. Breathe into the pain and watch it.

I'm practicing this in my own life, moreso for emotional pain. Unprocessed emotional pain becomes physical pain anyways...

IT will enhance physical pain but at the same time you will be able to cope 1000 better.

Meditation can help you understand what pain actually is.
