This is Part 4 of Oren Sofer’s six-part series on mindfulness and pain: Balance and Equanimity. In this talk, Sofer describes wisdom and balance as the two essential supports for practicing skillfully with pain. Mindfulness may change how some people relate to pain, and experiences vary. This practice complements medical care for pain; it does not replace it.
Oren Jay Sofer is a meditation teacher and author whose work bridges contemplative practice and mindful communication.
