Mindfulness & Chronic Pain with the Reverent Mother Annalouiza Armendariz

Join the Reverent Mother Annalouiza Armendariz and I as we chat about mindfulness around chronic pain.

Here's a sneak peak of what we discuss:

• Annalouiza's personal story about mysterious chronic pain and how mindfulness helped

• Not resisting the pain, but being in dialogue with the pain

• Pain & anxiety as teachers

• Annalouiza's work as a "spiritual navigator" (spiritual director)

If you enjoyed today's episode, you might enjoy Season 1, episode 7 of Swimming and Singing where I chat with chaplain Andrea Catlett about her experiences with chronic illness, disability, and spirituality.

About Annalouiza
Every day, The Mystery and I commune, whether it be through washing dishes or noticing the bird songs. My heart thrums with excitement both when I go on an adventure out in the larger world and when I sit by my altar at home and watch the candle flame dance. For me, it's the Witnessing of The Natural World that brings me into an intimate embrace with The Mystery. I am walking this time and space as a Death Midwife, working with plants and prayer to support those who are leaving as well as an Interfaith Minister, holding space for those who are yearning for something outside the confines of colonized religion.
