Living With Chronic Pain

Chronic pain changes the relationship between a person and their body in ways that are profound and often isolating. When pain becomes the constant background of daily life, the instinct is to fight it, ignore it, or escape it — none of which tend to help, and some of which make things worse. In this video, Ipek offers a completely different approach: learning to direct attention toward pain in a way that is soft rather than combative, curious rather than frightened. Please note that this practice is for supportive purposes and does not replace professional medical care.

Thank you my dear friend, Ipek, for your uncanny insight & understanding of those of us living with difficult Chronic Pain challenges… I will surely use your supportive term ‘Soft Light’ in my daily navigation of life with Chronic Pain..
Much Love, Susanne 💝🙏🏻

Thank you for this. I usually have difficulty with any meditation that asks for focus on areas of pain or discomfort. This was not the case with this exercise. Instead of an increased experience of my chronic pain, I was able to just be present. It wasn't comfortable, but it felt like a good step.

Thank you so much for your gentle guidance on how to look upon my pain with compassion. Suffering with fibromyalgia has been a challenge but I feel like I can shift my focus with the tools you’ve provided. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge

So good to soften my response to the pain. Very helpful to the acceptance process. Thanks
