Description
Darlene Cohen discovered the secret to finding happiness in the midst of debilitating pain. She shares her knowledge in her popular workshops and now in this book. Cohen, who has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for eighteen years, was hobbling painfully to her local Zen center one day, when she made a discovery that changed her life: if she focused on the foot that was in the air rather than the one that was hitting the pavement, her stamina increased enormously. It was the beginning of a show more completely different approach to the crippling pain that had beset her for so long. As she demonstrates here, this approach can be expanded to all types of pain: physical, psychological, and spiritual. show lessTags

"Quirky, humorous, utterly serious, and ultimately wise and healing, this book and a meditative practice is it recommends and embodies will be extremely valuable for people who suffer from chronic pain conditions and want to learn to live differently – and better. Darlene Cohen's voice is worth attending to. Her authenticity comes straight from her lifelong experience with pain and from her work as a meditation teacher in hospitals. Highly recommended."
