In this talk, Janine explores ways in which pain often leads to suffering. She offers three antidotes for not creating suffering out of our pain including: acceptance, being present with pain, and changing our relationship with pain. The talk ends with a guided meditation that helps practitioners consider ways physical and/or emotional pain turns into suffering and how we may experience pain without suffering.

Anyone who has sat in silence for even a few minutes can observe the noisy inner world of thoughts, emotions and sensations that course through our minds and bodies. When we look carefully, stopping talking does not mean that we are silent. Yet, it is a first step. External silence is a portal into deep inner silence. This talk explores the possibilities for awakening when we take a deep dive into silence.
