The general scope of the study involves meditation and its effects on pain management, narcotic use, and emotional well-being. Half of the participants will receive access to a meditation app, which they will be asked to use for at least 10 minutes every day for 6 weeks, while the other participants will be in the waitlist group and will receive a subscription to the meditation app after the 6 week study period ends. All participants will be asked to complete a set of questionnaires
