Meeting Discomfort With Curiosity (Live Recording)

This is a meditation on meeting discomfort with curiosity. It is a live meditation and includes a small 6 minute dharma talk before the 17 minute meditation. If you would like to skip directly to the meditation portion, you can start it at 17:20.

When we feel discomfort, our first instinct is often to resist, avoid, or push it away. This reaction is natural; it's a protective measure, a sign that something within us feels threatened. But what happens if we shift our perspective? What if we choose to see discomfort as an opportunity to become curious of our experience and change our response to one that welcomes the discomfort as a possible messenger of growth, healing, and understanding. Meditation offers us that space to become curious and lean into our discomforts. It is my hope that this meditation provides you with the space to cultivate a curious attitude; one that meets your daily, intimate discomforts and uses them as moments of transformation.
