Working with Difficulty Meditation

Working with difficulty meditation is introduced at session 5 of our Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy courses. It is assumed the listener has familiarity with the body and breath based practices of the body scan and mindful breathing practice as these earlier practices build the foundations upon which the working with difficulty practice requires.
Working with difficulty is a very helpful way of working in the present with body sensations when there are difficulties in your life. This is an alternative approach to over-thinking and worrying about your problems and difficulties.

Very effective! I didn’t know how much I needed this. I am deeply grateful to have found this meditation. Your style quite resonated with me as I followed your kind voice. My body and mind settled into softness as heaviness was released. I appreciate the subtle yet profound experience - it was effortless. I especially liked its not having music playing in the background, which I find is usually too loud and very distracting to an otherwise pleasant meditation. Thank you so very much! 💖💫Blessings on your day. 🙌🏼✨

Tank you for your lovely meditation and the wisdom of its words.

Having difficulty letting go of grief for a very sad situation. This really helped to soften the hard edges of fear, sadness, anxiety & grief. Thank you 🙏🏻☮️

Didn’t realise this would bring up such strong, difficult emotions. This is good am sure, otherwise they would be suppressed down deep. Difficulty is much stronger than I thought so may need to do this meditation more than just once. Thank you for your help! 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻

Very good exercise, good difficulty, nice way to wrap up all the skills from all her lessons into one final lesson with a new, useful skill for everyday life
