Mindfulness for Healing Chronic Pain

The current medical and clinical research on chronic pain indicates that while biological factors like tissue damage, inflammation, and system dysfunction generate pain, there are multiple factors that influence how much and for how long we experience it. They include our emotions; our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations; our past experiences and memories; and the context (where we are, whom we are with, and what is happening in the moment). In other words, pain is a very complex and dynamic phenomenon that is both physical and emotional.

Drawing from the latest advances in neuroscience research and millennia-old mindfulness practices, this five-week course offers a step-by-step approach to healing chronic pain.
