Healing Pain With The Healing Buddha

Dealing with physical pain can be very challenging. Our typical approach it to try to get rid of pain or try to ignore pain with distractions. A more enlightened approach is to move toward pain from a deeper place within us. In this meditation this inner place of healing is visualized as a healing Buddha who helps us work with pain with the deepest sense of compassion and love.

The meditation includes visualization of healing light and imagining the blue light Healing Buddha.
