Mindfulness and Pain Explained with Dr Adele Stewart Audio Course Registration Logo
  • Mindfulness & Pain Explained with Dr Adele Stewart audio WhatsApp course registration beginning Saturday 10th January 2026 for 20 weeks.

    You will ideally have WhatsApp and Insight Timer (free app) on your phone to join this course. On registration you will be added to the WhatsApp group, where I will post a paragraph of writing, an approximately 15 minute audio , and a link to a suggested meditation accessible on the free Insight Timer each week. (It is possible, but not ideal - as the group interaction can be very helpful - to not join WhatsApp and receive weekly emails instead.) My hope is that this course helps you discover a transformative approach to understanding and processing pain. You’ll explore the neuroscience behind chronic pain and uncover how greater awareness can reduce its intensity and impact. By shifting focus from a fixed “diagnosis” to a mind-body perspective—one that highly considers the level of safety and danger in our whole system—you’ll gain practical tools to navigate the pain-fear cycle. You’ll also learn how your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and even aspects of life that may seem unrelated to pain influence your experience. We’ll demystify complex topics like neuroplasticity, nociplastic pain, and neuroimmune interactions, making them accessible and applicable to everyday life. Each audio lesson will begin with a brief grounding practice, followed by some of the following: education, reflection, meditation and exercises. Participants can interact Adele and each other on WhatsApp during the course.
