What is meditation, and how can it benefit cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers?
Meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to focus and redirect thoughts, promoting relaxation and enhancing mental clarity. For cancer patients and caregivers, meditation can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improve emotional well-being, and provide a sense of inner calm and resilience.
Can meditation help with pain management?
Meditation has shown promising results in helping individuals manage pain. By focusing attention away from the discomfort and redirecting it towards relaxation and tranquillity, meditation can potentially reduce the perception of pain and enhance overall well-being. However, it is crucial to discuss any pain management strategies with your healthcare team.

While meditation may not directly cure or eliminate physical symptoms, it can provide significant relief and support in managing them.

However, it is important to note that meditation should not replace medical treatments recommended by healthcare professionals.
