- Decreases stress
The role of meditation is to help the practitioner cope with stress without running away from the pain and suffering of some situations, explained Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., and director of the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center to Psychology Today magazine
Stress is the response to the demands placed on the body and mind. The more distressed by pain or anxiety, the worse you will feel and it will have physiological consequences
If you can learn to feel comfortable within pain or anxiety, the experience will be completely changed. You're not trying to make the pain go away
This is a fundamental point that people sometimes don't understand in the first place.
They think we're going to make all their stress go away. But actually, we move into stress or pain and start looking at it, to notice the mind's reaction and to let go of that reactivity.”
“And then you discover that there is an inner stillness and peace within some of life's most difficult situations. You don't have to run away to get somewhere else.”
