The Mindfulness of Discomfort practice will consist of instruction in how to "zoom in" to deconstruct discomfort and precisely map each feelings' spatial location, use mindful breathing to "zoom out" and broaden the field of awareness to include neglected sensory elements, and shift attention from unpleasant feelings to neutral/pleasant sensations or experiences.
