Episode 4 – The Storms of Pain: Finding Inner Calm – Tips for living mindfully with chronic pain.
Key Takeaways
• Find “islands of calm” inside a pain storm by using the breath as an instant safety signal
• Strip away “muddy pain.” Learn to separate pure sensation from the suffering we pile on top
• Practise four core breathing drills—Two‑Hands, Straw Breath, Captain’s Breath & Full Breath—to switch on the relaxation response
• Soften body and mind. Notice unconscious bracing and replace it with gentle compassion
• Build a habit that sticks. Cameron explains why the “price of admission” is paid up‑front—and why it’s worth it every time
