Episode Details

We explore an overnight meditation that turns into a lesson on pain, compassion, and balance. We trade strategies for naming sensations, breathing with discomfort, mindful eating at home, and finding ease through wise effort and progressive relaxation.

• overnight sit reflections and physical discomfort
• naming sensations instead of labelling pain
• breathing through the whole body and feeling tones
• compassion that includes oneself
• mindful movement as part of practice
• mindful eating at home and temptation triggers
• pausing and outcome reflection for cravings
• moderation as a skillful option
• progressive muscle relaxation and wise effort
• teaching with humility and being a friend first

Teach mindfulness without self-doubt, fear of judgment, or imposter syndrome.
