You don't need to meditate to achieve this. You just need nitrous oxide.
This is great for going to the dentist, but I suppose it's not so great for managing chronic pain, however.
- darepublic 8y agoWouldn't it be more natural to say, you don't need nitrous oxide to achieve this, you can practice to manage chronic pain.
- ggggtez 8y ago"Natural" is just a buzzword. People have eaten plants for medicinal purposes since pre-historic times. Why should we shy away from advances in medicine and force the patients to re-wire their brains instead? Meditation is unnatural. The natural thing is to experience pain when something painful happens.

- vekker 8y agoMeditators still experience pain. They just train to "objectively" observe pain as pain, without creating more resistance - i.e. avoiding the "second arrow" https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn36/sn36.006.than.html https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn36/sn36.006.th... IMHO there is currently no way to re-program your mind like that with external means.
