Working with Color to Cope with Chronic Pain

Led by Stephanie Lopez

Today’s practice will incorporate noting – which is when we meet pain as pure sensation – and peel off the conceptual label which may otherwise bind us to our habitual patterns. We then explore the intensity of sensation non-conceptually. We also welcome emotions, beliefs, and images that may be present while interweaving the Inner Resource of wellbeing. We use the practice of working with opposites through the use of color. We will combine color with breath and imagery to meet, and potentially move beyond, pain.
