Sean Fargo:研究表明,正念冥想在缓解慢性疼痛方面可能比吗啡更有效。吗啡平均可减轻约25%的慢性疼痛,而正念冥想平均可减轻约40%,在某些情况下甚至高达93%,并且具有短期和长期益处。 正念冥想是众多冥想类型中的一种,其核心在于不带评判地关注当下体验。将不带评判的意识有目的地放在你的体验上,无论是在你的身体还是你的思想中,这很难持续地一遍又一遍地去做。但我们发现,对于患有慢性疼痛、抑郁症和焦虑症的患者来说,正念冥想能够帮助他们区分身体感觉、想法和与疼痛相关的记忆,以及围绕疼痛产生的怨恨、焦虑或不堪重负的感觉。 对于那些通过感到不知所措和焦虑来应对慢性疼痛,或者那些想要逃避体验、想要忽视或远离疼痛的人来说,正念冥想是一个很好的桥梁,可以引导他们带着一种不评判的态度回到当下,真正感受自己此刻正在体验的真实感觉。 通过正念冥想,患者可以培养勇气去面对疼痛,而不是与之对抗或忽视它。随着时间的推移,慢性疼痛患者越这样做,前额叶皮层中生长的灰质就越多,丘脑和脑岛的功能就越强,从而帮助他们识别哪些疼痛信号值得关注,并增强身体内部的本体感觉。同时,它还会使杏仁核的部分区域失活,从而减少对疼痛的情绪反应,而这种情绪反应往往非常有害,实际上还会加剧疼痛。 神经科学研究表明,正念冥想对于增强认知功能、降低对疼痛的情绪反应、引导患者参与他们的现实生活体验、培养面对疼痛的勇气以及将生理感觉与疼痛相关的焦虑和压力分离至关重要。
