  Examines the ways that meditation, music, prayer, and ritual can mediate pain, offer a narrative that transcends the sufferer, and give public dignity to private agony. This book discusses topics such as the molecular basis of pain, and the possible links between the relaxation response and meditative practices in Christianity and Buddhism.
