When the water finally receded, I dropped on the ground, I laid there in the mud for several minutes. I was in extreme pain; I was so tired that my body refused to function. My head spun around in a tizzy of noises - sharp spine-chilling cries and endless calls for help.

Congratulation for buying the book. This book is a fruition of several years of learning and practice. The book comes as a part of the Meditation and Yoga series, written in a way which is easy to understand and follow.

Chapter One :

Introduction

Most of us have been abusing our mind and body in many ways, without even recognizing that the harm we are doing might be irreversible.

We pollute our body by eating junk food, excessive salt and sugar. We damage it by sitting in front of the computer or T.V for several hours at a time. We ignore it when take the elevator instead of just climbing three or four flights of stairs.

However, its not just our bodies that were damaging. In recent years, theres been a sharp upsurge in cases of depression, sleep and anxiety disorders. People are becoming more prone to anger and violence, more reckless and careless with themselves and with others.

Today, were facing a decline in physical, mental and spiritual health. If your body, mind and soul are parts of a whole working machinery, there needs to be a constant level of maintenance thats needed to be applied to remain healthy. The lack of this essential maintenance has led to several health and lifestyle problems.

Meditation and Yoga was conceived by our ancestors many thousand years ago to prevent this from happening. It is a complete practice, looking to maintain the well-being of the entire human being. It is a practice that cleanses the mind and body, providing with the right level of activity to remain healthy.

In this book I will introduce meditation techniques that will help you get started in your journey to regain your mental and physical health. Although, these techniques sound simple but be warned that these techniques can be really difficult to master. The key of-course is that you need to practice daily to truly achieve the results you desire.

Understanding

Chronic Pain

Introduction: What is Chronic Pain?

Unless you suffer from Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, a disorder which causes the body to be unable to feel pain, odds are you have been in pain at some point. Most of us are lucky enough -- if we have to experience pain -- to stop hurting once our body has healed from whatever caused the pain to arise in the first place. Others, however, are not so lucky. Months and years after an injury, people may still feel the pain from it. Pain that lasts for more than three months is known as chronic pain, and hundreds of millions of people suffer from it -- and that number is only the recorded number of people, meaning that anyone who has not gone to a doctor for their pain has not been added to that list. The number could be, and very possible is, much greater.

Normally when someone gets hurt the nerves in the affected area send signals to the brain, causing the sensation of pain. This allows the body not only to be aware of the pain, but also to begin the process of healing it. If our bodies were unable to experience pain they would have no way to know which areas have been injured and therefore no way to try to heal themselves. In this way, pain is one of the most beneficial and necessary sensations, despite how unpleasant it is and how most people do everything they can to avoid having to feel it.

Once the injury has healed the signals stop sending, and the pain stops. With chronic pain, this is not the case. Instead, the nerves continue to send pain signals long after the injury has healed. This means that months and years after an injury has healed the body still experiences pain as though the injury were still there. Just as scars are a permanent and visible reminder of an injury, so is chronic pain a permanent though invisible reminder.

There are many different causes of chronic pain, but some of the more common are nerve damage, arthritis, surgery, back problems, migraines, past injuries, and Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that creates heightened and widespread pain throughout the body, and as of now doctors have no idea what causes it (though they do know that it affects 3-7% of the entire population, upwards of 90% of those affected being women). Many people with Fibromyalgia are discouraged as not only is there no apparent cause of their pain, but since there are no scars and often never was an injury, people without

Fibromyalgia often have trouble believing that the pain is real. Other factors, such as age, posture, weight, and genetics also play a part in chronic pain; and diseases such as cancer and AIDS are known to cause chronic pain as well.

Symptoms of chronic pain vary, including soreness, aching, burning sensations, shooting pains, and stiffness. There are also less severe symptoms, such as fatigue, lack of appetite, changes in mood, anger, frustration, and trouble sleeping. These are just a few of the possible symptoms, but the full list is much greater.

It is also important to remember that every person is different and the way that chronic pain affects someone else may not be the way that it affects you. Just because you may not experience the more severe symptoms it does not mean that your pain is any less real, and it does not mean that other people are not experiencing them.

Not only does chronic pain have a negative effect on your physical wellbeing, it can also have negative effects on your mental health. Chronic pain has been linked to depression, as there is a link between pain and emotion. As pain has been shown to increase depression, antidepressants are often prescribed as part of the treatment for chronic pain.

Chronic pain can also interfere with your sleep, causing you stress levels to rise more than they already have due to the pain itself. Just as pain can cause depression, so can depression cause you to be in more pain. It is a vicious cycle of depression and pain that many fear they may never escape.
