Study: Mindfulness Meditation Provides Opioid-Free Pain Relief

18. The only advice I have about the "Bulgarian" part,

is if you have an in-person friend who can show you how to do some of these things (assuming they are semi-tech savvy.) Because it really does sometimes require visual aids

My meditation "practice" really hasn't launched well. I recently spent some birthday money on a juicer, and have been reading, buying produce, and just tried it out earlier today. It's a learning experience in and of itself, for what sizes to cut things and so forth. Still, I have some good recipes, and so far, at least one is tasty

Also, when I have meditated, I didn't use music either, but did use one of the background noises (I think I chose Zen Garden.) It helped me to ignore noises outside of my apartment by masking them with the sounds of a garden space. If my patio was isolated enough from everyone else, I'd meditate out there, now that the weather is getting nice and warm.

Anyway, that's all I mean by "sound." Just natural sounds that do tend to take me to that kind of reality and away from this one. I can better focus that way
