During the second and following weeks the sessions will include a general discussion of the participants' experience with the meditation method, including problem solving regarding obstacles to the meditation practice. Theoretical material related to meditation, relaxation, pain and the mind/body connection will be presented at this time. About 30 minutes will be spent at each session in these discussions. Also during the second week, quiet sitting meditation will be introduced. The group will practice together using the sitting meditation technique for 15 minutes during this and at the beginning of subsequent sessions.
