The Comox Valley Nursing Centre is pleased to host Dr. Tom Diamond for a one hour session on Health Meditating for pain reduction, scheduled for August 20, 1:30-2:30pm.

Dr. Diamond's approach to meditation highlights science, accessibility and health benefits for stress-related issues such as pain, anxiety and depression, and other chronic conditions that resist medical treatment. Through meditation, people can increase mental focus and conscious control of their own physiological processes, including pain and stress levels.

Stress is a serious roadblock to health and healing, and is related to 60-80% of all disease, including heart disease, cancer and chronic pain. "Stress reduction and meditation are excellent complimentary techniques that can improve the effectiveness of medicine and other traditional treatments," says Diamond, who teaches people how to reach deep calm quickly and create a low stress lifestyle during his 24 class series called The Healing Zone Stress Reduction Program.

Diamond, a Comox Valley resident, developed his unique Health Meditating techniques, based on his thirty-five years of experience as a meditator and his professional background as a clinical and organizational psychology practitioner, researcher and university professor.

Health Meditating is designed for the western mind and teaches a wide variety of meditation and mind-body connection techniques for overall stress reduction as well as specific outcomes, such as improved sleep, weight loss, and pain management. It can be learned in a group format or in private sessions for people with specific therapeutic goals.
