 Growing through Pain
The meditation orientation is not about fixing pain or making it better. It’s about looking deeply into the nature of pain–making use of it in certain ways that might allow us to grow. In that growing, things will change, and we have the potential to make choices that will move us toward greater wisdom and compassion, including self-compassion, and thus toward freedom from suffering. – Jon Kabat-Zinn, “At Home In Our Bodies” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Change Your Relationship to Pain
You change your relationship to the pain by opening up to it and paying attention to it. You ‘put out the welcome mat.’ Not because you’re masochistic, but because the pain is there. So you need to understand the nature of the experience and the possibilities for, as the doctors might put it, ‘learning to live with it,’ or, as the Buddhists might put it, ‘liberation from the suffering.’ If you distinguish between pain and suffering, change is possible. – Jon Kabat-Zinn, “At Home in Our Bodies” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
