Unsure why this got downvoted, meditation has been show to reduce pain up to 90%.

Seems like teaching kids to meditate would have all sorts of benefits, including drug free pain management.

Can someone please explain the downvotes? Do you not like the idea that meditation can mitigate pain? Don’t think it’s true? Find it wrong to teach kids? What?
