A Guided Meditation On Welcoming Discomfort

As humans, we have become really good at avoiding what we don’t want to feel or experience, especially if it's painful or unpleasant, resulting in us (consciously or unconsciously) spending a lot of our time running away from perceived or future pain. What then happens is our past pains start to dictate our future. Although that might be true in many circumstances, we can learn how to cultivate a skillful relationship to pain and discomfort through self-compassion.
