Your Life Is Your Zen

Hello, I am Dr. Kevin Rod

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.

We practice ZEN, MEDITATION, MINDFULNESS or any form of concentration or prayer to attain more inner peace. These are practices made by different religions and traaditions over thousands of years to bring peace to human beings. We learn to go to a quiet space and try to calm our mind or focus on an idea, chant some verses or do acts of prayers to reach the calm we need, so we can go back and face our hectic life again.
There is a different way of attaining peace by turing our daily life into our ongoing ZEN, MINDFULNESS,MEDITATION or PRAYER practice. Our life is our actual sanctuary, not the quiet corner we find as refuge. This is a different perspective that may not be easy to grasp at first, but once cleared in our mind, we can see our life as our destination of peace and the activities of daily life as our ZEN PRACTICES.
