Episode 80: Being with Pain

July 25, 2014

Reggie begins this talk by encouraging us to not run away from pain in meditation practice. He says that the experience of pain interrupts two main ego defaults in modern society: comfort and distraction. Pain wakes us up, corners our ego, and helps us deepen in our commitment to what is.

This talk was given at the 2013 Winter Dathun retreat held in Crestone, CO.
