(And no it is not praying the pain away, for all you God, Jesus, Jewish, Christian and Religion hating Folks)
It all started with my forgetfulness; I left all pain meds behind and my Tins device was not an option. Driving along in immense traffic, I started to breathe slowly and then meditated on relaxation points I learn years ago. It Worked!!
Meditation and Breathing.. even when the noise or intense work is in play!!
Look it up! There are many books and articles about it. 🥰
