How Mindfulness Helps Fibromyalgia?

Fibromyalgia symptoms can be eased by relaxing the body and bringing the mind to the present time. Though there are several theories put forth by scientists, doctors suggest that meditating mindfully can help to calm the sympathetic nervous system, thereby reducing any stress felt and creating more relaxation in the body.

Mindfulness can work on the mind and body in these ways

• It teaches patients to move their attention away from their pain

• It prevents the central nervous system from sensing pain and reducing the patient's ability to feel it

• It minimizes negative thoughts and emotions that accompany the pain, thereby reducing the intensity of the pain

• It increases body awareness, which helps the patient take better care of himself

• It stimulates deep muscle relaxation, which reduces muscle tension and irritability
