Break Through the Pain | Take a Moment with Shinzen Young

Take a Moment with Shinzen Young as he teaches us how to "Break Through the Pain." Break Through Pain adapts the core principles of mindfulness training to a practical process that can treat even extreme, chronic pain effectively, possibly reducing the need for drugs or surgery. You learn that by observing and opening to pain, you can stop resisting it and “step outside” physical suffering. Step-by-step techniques taught in plain language show how to overcome internal resistance—the key to transforming physical pain into a flow of pure energy.

This Take a Moment is an excerpt from Break Through Pain: How to Relieve Pain Using Powerful Meditation Techniques which presents four complete meditation exercises that with regular practice, can tap your mind’s own power to overcome physical pain.

Shinzen Young became fascinated with Asian culture while a teenager in Los Angeles. Later he enrolled in a PhD program in Buddhist Studies at the University of Wisconsin. Eventually, he went to Asia and did extensive training in each of the three major Buddhist traditions: Vajrayana, Zen and Vipassana.

Upon returning to the United States, his academic interests shifted to the burgeoning dialogue between Eastern meditation and Western science. Shinzen is known for his innovative “interactive, algorithmic approach” to mindfulness, a system specifically designed for use in pain management, recovery support, and as an adjunct to psychotherapy.

He leads meditation retreats throughout North America and has helped establish numerous mindfulness centers and programs. He also consults widely on meditation-related research, in both the clinical and the basic science domains. He often says: “My life’s passion lies in exploring what may arise from the cross-fertilization of the best of the East with the best of the West.”
