Peace with Pain: Your Guide to Life in a Malfunctioning Body

by Jenna Sundell, Turiya Dhara

In a body that HURTS... In a body that's EXHAUSTED...There is JOY...There is FULFILLMENT... There is PEACE.Can you be happy and at peace when your body is screaming in pain? YES! There may not be a cure for your physical condition, but there is a way out of the anguish and misery. With the tools in Peace with Pain, you’ll discover how to create a joyful and productive life despite the malfunctions of the body. This simple path of focused meditation, mindfulness, and pacing can be followed by anyone who is suffering. Meditation is the foundation of the practice; mindfulness allows you to gain control of your time and life; and pacing all of life’s activities keeps you moving forward on the path to peace. Rather than propose a cure for pain and illness, Peace with Pain opens a doorway into the beauty and ecstasy found only in full awareness of the present moment. This book for people with chronic pain is about living with and using your body efficiently as it is, right now.

About the author

In 1994 I received a teaching empowerment as a Buddhist monk, so I went out and started sharing what I knew about meditation. Over the years, my teachings developed into a system we call Trikaya Buddhism. If you enjoy learning through a story, you'll like my first book, Worlds of Power, Worlds of Light. If you like exercises and steps, you'll enjoy Peace with Pain. Although Peace with Pain is written for people like me who live with chronic pain, it can benefit anyone who wants a brighter, happier life. The Awkward Years was written for my nieces and nephews, but many of my adult fans found the advice in it is relevant for them too!

On October 27, 2020, my next book Unreasonable Joy: Awakening through Trikaya Buddhism will be available. (published as by Turiya) This one takes you through the Buddhist practice I teach, offering a pathway for to discover our true nature.

I'm working on a more books, but my body moves slow. While you're waiting, please check out my blog or visit me at Dharma Center of Trikaya Buddhism in San Diego, CA.

My tip for you is to smile, meditate, and do something you love every day.
