Chronic pain isn’t always telling us that something is wrong, necessarily, but it is telling us something. When we can tune into the pain, listen to it, and care for it, we may actually be able to learn something about how to tend to our bodies and what our bodies need. This gentle meditation asks the pain specific questions to see if we can learn something from our chronic pain.
