Had an idea tonight and looked at the health and self help podcasts which are free on ITunes are there are a lot which relate to relaxation, meditation and some dealing specifically with chronic pain relief. Those of you with ITunes might be worth taking a look. If you dont have ITunes, you dont need an IPod, you can still download a podcast for free and burn it onto a cd to listen to.
This one sounds interesting...
Search for The Meditation Podcast. All reviews are excellent for it, the text for the podcast says it uses binaural beats which actually help slow the brain waves to induce a relaxed and powerful meditative state. Must use headphones. Going to give it a try!!

Meditation Podcast
I love the meditation podcast... I have been using it for nearly a year now. They have an excellent one that is for putting you to sleep - I still haven't heard it all the way through!!! 
They are great for general relaxing, but I find them the best when I am travelling on planes or buses, they keep the outside chaos out, and I find I can relax anywhere.
Just make sure you make a separate directory on your ipod or mp3 player when you listen to them as it can jolt your heart out of a nice relaxed sleepy state when ACDC comes blaring on after 30 minutes of meditation!
