Book Reviews of Mindfulness of Breathing: Managing Pain, Illness, and Stress with Guided Mindfulness Meditation
Book Review: Bigger Than Pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had rheumatoid arthritis for almost 30 years, and I've learned that the pain is made far, far worse by the things I do with the pain, such as bracing for it, running from it, thinking "fixme fixme fixme," believing the pain is all my fault, etc. I've tried prayer, hypnosis, and various types of meditation to silence these pain-focusing crazies, but this CD does it best. The two meditation sessions--one led by a woman, the other by a man--gently encourage me to "give it up" and rest in the experiencing of the breath. Of course my mind wanders, and I'm ready to blame myself for that, too, but they tell me, so kindly, "not to give [myself] a hard time." The result is that I move from the suffocating focus on my aching joints into an awareness of the broad and varied landscape of my breath, my entire body. The pain becomes only a small part of the rich life that breathes through me. It is the most honest and dependable relief I've found.

Summary of Mindfulness of Breathing: Managing Pain, Illness, and Stress with Guided Mindfulness Meditation
The Mindfulness of Breathing practice helps us develop awareness of our experience in greater detail. By resting in a responsive space between suppressing our experience of pain or illness on the one hand, and over-identifying with it on the other, we can learn to make choices as to how we respond to our moment-by-moment experience.The CD introduces two different approaches to this practice, helping us to develop "moments of awareness" which help free us from stress.
