Researchers have found that just one hour of meditation training can reduce immediate pain by nearly half and have a long lasting effect.
The technique appears to work as it calms down pain experiencing areas of the brain while at the same time boosting coping areas.
Meditation was found to reduce pain intensity by about 40 per cent and pain unpleasantness by 57 per cent. Morphine and other pain-relieving drugs typically reduce pain ratings by about 25 per cent.
