Yes There Is Pain, And...

The following meditation inspired by the book Outsmart Your Pain by Dr Christiane Wolf explores the experience of having feelings of pain or unpleasantness right next to feelings that are neutral or even pleasant.
Instead of saying, “BUT there is pain . . .” which puts a stop to any further explorations, we say, “Yes, there is pain AND . . .” which allows for more than just the pain.

I found this a really helpful exercise to really tune in and identify the sensations in my body. Thank you, Adele!

This helps me with feelings like pain and nausea. Thank you! It's a good point you make in the meditation that it depends on the situation whether it's wisest to delve into the feeling of discomfort or to stay on the edges.

The volume is very quiet, I have to turn my volume to the maximum to hear this, but otherwise the audio quality is good.

Such a helpful practice for neutralising the pain experience, thank you 🙏🏼
