Freeing the Mind When the Body Hurts
With Vidyamala Burch

A brand new Tricycle online course begins September 25, 2023! Freeing the Mind When the Body Hurts is a six-week exploration of bringing the mind to work with the body in order to move from pain, illness, or struggle to greater ease.

The course will offer training in the BE AWARE method, a six-step technique developed by Vidyamala Burch, creator of the Mindfulness-based Pain & Illness Management program and cofounder of the organization Breathworks.

This course will provide you with the tools to:

Be more present: You’ll learn to be present with each experience just as it is.
Cultivate acceptance and kindness: Gently you’ll move closer to difficulties with acceptance and kindness, rather than resistance and aversion.
Wake up to wonder: Become open to what’s pleasant, even beautiful, in each moment as your awareness becomes more refined and sensitive.
Allow the flow of change: Everything in life is changing all the time, including experiences of pain that we tend to solidify with our perception. You’ll learn to let it be a changing flow of sensations.
Relate and connect with others: You’re not alone. Experiences of pain, illness, or difficulty can become a point of empathy rather than a cause of isolation.
Engage with all of life: By the end of the course, you’ll know how to bring this awareness, kindness, and acceptance into all the moments of your life.

Each unit contains a selection of talks and meditations along with guidance on how to bring the practices into your daily life. We invite you to engage with the course with an attitude of kindness and patience towards yourself, going at your own pace, and really reflecting on what you're gaining and benefiting as we go along.

Join Vidyamala and fellow practitioners on this journey to free the mind, even when your body hurts.
