Using Mindfulness to Ease Your Pain

Mindfulness makes it possible to explore pain as a constellation of sensations, be they mild or intense, unpleasant or unbearable, transitory or prolonged, while being able to separate these physical sensations from stressful thoughts and troubled feelings. Having a body, we know that pain is inevitable. With mindfulness practices, we discover that our suffering is optional, that we can reshape our relationship with pain, and improve the quality of our life.
