The What Doesn't Kill You Meditation

We all meet with suffering in our lives. We all meet with pain. We bring our pain into meditation, or perhaps our pain brings us into meditation. When the sharp point of pain pierces us, a table of contents of our suffering is written into our flesh. When we are hurt, we call out to the forces of life for comfort and healing. If om is the primal song of creation joyously expanding, then “ouch” is the beginning of our reconnection with that joy. We say ouch as we experience pain and that recognition is the first step on the path of healing. This meditation includes several readings from The Radiance Sutras translated by my teacher Lorin Roche and the poem Wild Geese by Mary Oliver. The music is by Chris Collins.
