Living Well With Pain | 5 Benefits Of Mindfulness

In this interview, Vidyamala guides us to discover the five reasons why mindfulness is great for living well with pain. 1. It helps us distinguish between primary pain (which is given) and secondary pain (which is optional) 2. It helps us to use breath awareness to release tension – “when in doubt, breathe out” 3. It helps us get perspective on our thoughts with a kindly and positive attitude 4. It helps us in daily life to overcome boom and bust with pacing 5. It gives us a choice on how to react to what is.

Thank you.
As always such a powerful message shared by you.

Excellent. Helped me know when to stop sitting with discomfort before it became pain , when listening to this most valuable talk.
Awareness seems to be the bottom line.
If you’re Aware that you’re holding your breath, you can then remind yourself to exhale.

Loved that & appreciated everything you suggested. Really opened my mind to new ways to live with pain. So grateful thank you 🙏🏾❤️

This was a really great interview (also from the interviewer). What‘s the most important experience out of this for me are the 5 benefits, which can be used as clear headers, which are absolutely helpful for anybody.
Thank you from the inner of my heart, that you gave your own long painful journey as a brave example to/for all those, who have to live perhaps a little bit better with their „primery pain“ and hopefully without the „secondary one“.
💛💚🍀🙏🏾

This summarises so much that is in Vidyamala’s course on living with pain or chronic illness. I’d recommend to anyone starting out with mindfulness for pain. 🙏💚Thank you. I mentioned Breathworks to my ME/CFS nurse in hope he’ll share it with more people.

Extremely helpful. Everyone struggling with pain needs to listen.

Inspiring, again. Such a positive, realistic approach. I am going to visit Breathworks site and log in. First time for a couple of years I think.
Thank you.

Really enjoyed this as I was diagnosed spinal stenosis 3 years ago and I’m waiting for a spinal operation it has been one of the hardest things in my life I have had to cope with the pain has been hurendous & has felt like a rollercoaster ride daily but I started to practice sitting and feeling the pain & connecting with it & being ok together a few months ago from a Buddha practice I found & it has really helped me a lot with my pain I have got some great extra tips I have jotted down from this Thankyou so much Vidyamala 💖

You have a great way of explaining your system of living in a simple manner. You are one of my favourite teachers.

After listening to this presentation only once, I found my breathing able to embrace my pain. It subsided quite a lot. I will continue to learn and listen to her presentations and read as much as I can. It was wonderful.
