5.0 out of 5 stars Removing suffering from the equation of pain, March 20, 1999

This review is from: Break Through Pain (Audio Cassette)

This tape set has been used extensively for over a year in our community. It is being used to help those with juvenile diabetes and its complications, fibro-myalgia, and other serious medical problems. Shinzen Young is not giving a miraculous supercure. He takes the mental tools already given to us and shows us how to work with pain to eliminate suffering. In essence, we make friends with the pain and experience it as cleansing. The first side of the first tape is an important narrative followed by meditations on the remaining three sides. His other tapes are also highly recommended. J.M., Kankakee, IL
