When we are in pain it often feels immutable. The logical solution seems to be to turn away from the pain, and even disconnect from the aspect of ourselves in which the pain is experienced. This session will begin with brief discussion of pain physiology to deepen our understanding that pain is changeable. We will then explore pain care practices and techniques informed by the kleshas and intended to change pain itself.
