I got rid of chronic pain I had for 4 years in 4 weeks by reading "The Divided Mind" by John Sarno. I'd highly recommend it.
And, as other's have pointed out, a wandering mind is part of meditation. The beneficial part of meditation comes from that act of noticing your wandering mind and bringing it back to focus.
- neilsharma 12y agoThat's great news! Thanks for the book rec. I'll buy it and give it a shot. I am skeptical though. "Mind over Matter" techniques don't seem very practical after spending years in the physical world stretching and massaging. Do the techniques Sarno recommends help correct slouching?
- neilsharma 12y agoStarted reading the book. I'm getting really into psychosomatic medicine now. Seems to be a lot of little-known value in this space. Makes me think that the quantitative self movement is a bit misguided. Lots of health problems can be solved with emotional therapy, not by easily measurable tests.
