I am fortunate to be a pain patient and a pain doctor at the same time. My life experience as a pain patient qualifies me to understand pain struggle more than my education.
Here are some highlights of my practice and experience:
I am a Family Physician with focused practice in Chronic Pain. I am the founder and director of Toronto Poly Clinic Multi-disciplinary pain management center. I am a Lecturer with the University of Toronto DFCM as a clinical teacher. I am also a guest course contributor to Harvard Medical School department of Continuing Education.
The essence of meditation is pure concentration. We use meditation for many treatment goals, but having a reason to do meditation is different from doing meditation to achieve something. If our attention is focused on getting into a goal then we cannot concentrate enough in order to do a real meditation, as such, the goal becomes an obstacle. We should not meditate to achieve anything other than real inner calmness through full concentration on the moment. Our reason for meditation is an initiative to meditate, but the focus on goal, is not productive. If we manage to do a real meditation, then the goals would be achieved if they are reasonable, without any need to focus on them.
