Pain can't always be avoided, but the suffering that comes with it is shaped by how we respond to it. This guide explores how mindfulness can ease that suffering for people living with chronic or intense pain, alongside whatever medical care they receive. The approach grows from the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program, first designed for patients whose conditions had not improved with drugs or surgery. The book introduces a series of evidence-based practices that readers can use gently, covering mindful breathing, working with strong sensations, befriending difficult thoughts and feelings, resting in awareness, and carrying the practice into daily life. Audio guidance for key practices is available online, and the book is illustrated with soothing images.
