Mindful Attention to Discomfort

This is an extended mindfulness practice in which attention is turned deliberately towards a physical sensation — examining its edges, texture and changes — rather than away from it.

How it works

The approach is deliberately paradoxical, and it works on the relationship with the sensation rather than the sensation itself. Examined closely, discomfort usually turns out to be less solid and less constant than it feels when braced against. At 36 minutes this asks for real commitment and suits someone already comfortable with shorter mindfulness practices.

Grounded in

mindful attention to sensation, from MBSR practice applied to persistent discomfort.
