Change Your Mind, Ease Your Pain: How Meditation Works to Relieve Pain & Suffering

with Jon Kabat-Zinn, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and host Alejandro Chaoul-Reich

A live online conversation with Jon Kabat-Zinn, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal, and host Alejandro Chaoul-Reich.

Even when pain is unavoidable, suffering is optional. The practices of both mindfulness and dzogchen are renowned for changing how we relate to psychological, emotional, and physical pain, thereby easing our pain-related suffering and even lessening or eliminating the pain itself. Our esteemed presenters all share a deep, abiding interest in easing pain through meditation practice and in the research supporting its effectiveness. The CyberSangha broadcast is part of the Month of the Mind in “Bring Body, Speech & Mind to Life,” a free yearlong program of live teachings, practices, and science & spirituality dialogs.

In advance of his teaching, Rinpoche encourages creating a bit of space for meditation in your house — in a quiet, peaceful location where you can feel some sense of warmth and connection to yourself. You might provide a comfortable cushion to sit on, and a candle or stick of incense. A supportive outer space can support your inner space during meditation.
