Episode Synopsis

We often come to meditation practice with an aspiration to alleviate and transform our pain.
Yet for many, sitting in silence with awareness of the breath may actually be quite stimulating rather than calming.
In this talk, Monica Kingsbury will explore how Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness helps us better understand how our brain and nervous system function as we practice, allowing us to maintain safety and emotional regulation.

This talk was offered at Radiant Light Zen's Interbeing of Suffering and Liberation retreat.
