If you’ve been living with pain or illness, you know it’s not just about the physical discomfort.
There’s the disruption to daily life. The grief over the plans you had and what you can no longer do. The isolation of not being able to participate in the community the way you used to or the feeling that many people struggle to understand what you are experiencing. The fear that life won’t ever feel as full or joyful as it once did.
But what if there was a way to reclaim your life, even in the midst of the pain?
World-renowned mindfulness teacher Vidyamala Burch OBE has spent decades developing a proven evidence-based approach that uses the mind and the breath to help people deal with pain and illness, reduce their suffering, and live meaningful lives.
In this 3-hour masterclass, Mindfulness for Pain, Vidyamala introduces 3 key lessons to help you manage pain and illness by focusing on the mind and the breath. These simple tools have been proven to be transformative and highly effective for thousands of people globally from beginners to seasoned experts.
You will learn:
- From Resistance to Resilience - Vidyamala takes you through ways in which mindfulness can be used to help you distinguish between primary pain (which is given) and secondary suffering (which you have a choice over). With mindfulness, you’ll learn how to change your relationship with pain, which will lead to a transformation in your quality of life.
- Breathe for Ease - on this topic, Vidyamala teaches you core practices in how to use breath awareness to release the tension that is held with pain and goes on to create more discomfort. You’ll know that when in doubt, breathe out.
- Live with Choice - for the final topic, Vidyamala shares with you ways in which you can learn how to "respond rather than react" to reclaim your life.
- Q&A with Vidyamala - hear from the community, and learn how to apply what they’ve learned in daily life.
During the Masterclass, you will learn:
- Simple yet life-changing techniques that you can apply immediately
- Access to a private community group to connect with others who understand pain and illness
- How to distinguish between pain (the unpleasant sensation) and suffering (the added layers of distress) and how to feel more at ease in each moment
- Ways you can harness the power of your mind so it becomes a tool to enhance your life, rather than being a source of struggle and distress
- Learn about the anatomy of breathing and how to use breathing for releasing tension
- Understand the freedom of learning to live with choice, rather than being swept away by the pain
- Learn how to live one moment at a time and savor each present moment
- Learn the importance of gentle humor and how to 'take life seriously and yet hold it lightly'
