In this short practice, we turn toward pain with a soft, open awareness. As we breathe in, we notice the pain is here. As we breathe out, we remind ourselves that pain doesn’t last forever, becoming aware of its impermanence. Pain isn’t fixed; it changes from week to week, day to day, even moment to moment. By paying gentle attention, we can offer ourselves a little room to breathe, self-kindness, and trust that sensations & feelings can ease.
