S3.5E22: Meditation for People That Are Bad at Meditation; Improving Movement through Mindfulness with Sam Leffers

Season #3

Michelle and Tim are hard at work recording episodes for Season 4, which they’re incredibly excited to bring you. However, in the interim, they hope you enjoy what’ll likely be their final “in-between-a-sode”.

Throughout Season 3 proper, Tim’s spoken at length about his own journey through persistent pain, and back on Season 3 Episode 4 (Sam Leffer’s first guest appearance) the concept of being in pain versus suffering was introduced. Recording that back in early 2023, Tim didn’t think he fully grasped the significance of that distinction. Sitting as he records this in April of 2024, he couldn’t think of a more important distinction in his own life.

Sharpening the mental tools that allow us to transcend the realm of suffering and associated mental landscapes- impatience, despair, and hostility- is vital to anyone looking to begin to thrive again within the context of their persistent pain. The tool that’s helped Tim the most in this regard is, hands down, meditation. So, Michelle and Tim brought Sam back so he and Tim could wax poetic about specific tactics and strategies, general frameworks, and consistent hang-ups folks have when starting a meditation practice.

If you’d like to hear more about the specific application of these things to persistent pain, we’d very much recommend going back and listening to S3E4. Stay moving, stay mindful, and enjoy the episode.
