When we try to quiet our minds and practice mindfulness, we often come across discomfort or restlessness in our body, heart, or mind. In this experiential workshop, we will practice simple tools to help us work with discomfort when it arises in our practice experience. We will explore breathing, naming, and shifting focus techniques, to help us access greater ease and well-being. Our capacity to build self-awareness through paying attention to our internal experiences supports our ability to create a calm and focused presence when faced with stress, trauma, or another's pain. It makes us stronger and more resilient in the face of challenges.
