Listen "suffering & transformation"
Episode Synopsis
Pain can feel like the end of the story—but what if it’s also the beginning of transformation? In this episode of Just Breathe, we reflect on Thomas Merton’s reminder that the more we try to avoid suffering, the more we suffer. Together, we’ll open space to see pain not as punishment, but as a teacher—shaping the soul, softening the heart, and making room for compassion.Take a deep breath, listen in, and allow silence to hold you.⏱ Timestamps0:00 – Opening chime & introduction0:52 – Merton’s wisdom on suffering1:45 – Lament: the weight of pain2:50 – Turning pain into a teacher4:00 – Breath practice for courage & release5:00 – Benediction & closing chime✨ If this meditation resonates, please share it with someone who may need a gentle reminder that even in suffering, transformation is possible.
