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
