Vivir bien con el dolor y la enfermedad

After suffering a severe spinal cord injury, author Vidyamala Burch had to face a daily life of chronic illness on her own. Instead of letting her life slowly unravel, she decided to address her physical challenges with acceptance, compassion, and love. In Vivir bien con el dolor y la enfermedad, Burch gives us the benefits of her courage, showing that the practice of mindfulness can help us face all kinds of health challenges. Based on her experience teaching meditation, she offers instruction and wisdom needed to achieve the five-step model of mindfulness and how to use it to foster healing. This book is both a practical handbook and an inspiring story for those suffering from chronic pain or illness.

Vidyamala Burch is the cofounder of Breathworks, an organization that helps people realize a state of mindfulness and compassion to address chronic pain and other illnesses.
