Ride the Wave – A 3-Minute Meditation for Moments of Pain

When pain spikes or the noise gets too loud, our instinct is often to power through. But pushing past discomfort doesn’t always serve us—especially for those living with chronic pain. That’s why I created a free 3-minute guided meditation called Ride the Wave—a quick, calming practice to use in moments of overwhelm, physical pain or emotional discomfort.

The meditation is grounded in the science of mindfulness. Studies show that when we turn toward pain with awareness—rather than tensing against it—we activate areas of the brain associated with emotional regulation and decrease activity in regions linked to fear and reactivity. Over time, this helps rewire how we experience pain, reducing its intensity and the distress that comes with it.

This meditation invites you to pause, breathe and feel supported exactly as you are—no fixing, no changing, just riding the wave until it passes.

It’s completely free to download. Whether you use it during a pain flare or a stressful moment, it’s a tool to keep in your back pocket.
