This is Part 6 of Oren J. Sofer’s six-part series on mindfulness and pain: Compassion and Investigation. It looks at bringing up kindness toward yourself and using mindfulness to investigate how you feel. 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.
