When physical pain or emotional suffering appears in our lives, rarely do we dedicate the attention and care it deserves, and often treat it like something to be ignored. On occasion, we resort to medicine or reward ourselves with leisure or buying things with the false hope of alleviating it. Jon Kabat-Zinn, pioneer of Mindfulness across the world, outlines a series of guided meditations for another way to treat pain through self-knowledge of the body and the mind even among a culture that pushes us in the opposite direction.
