What is the benefit of bringing difficulty into meditation practice, and how do we know what is ready to be held in meditative space? In this episode of Mindfulness in Action, Dalida Turkovic explores the stages of acceptance, beginning with resistance, and how each stage can teach us something about our inner experience, our capacity to stay present, and the moment when a difficulty becomes ready to be met.

When I revisited my conversation with Rob Fisher, one idea resonated deeply with what my own practice has taught me: mindfulness can become a way of studying our inner experience through the body. In this reflective episode, I return to that understanding and invite you to explore it directly. This episode is an invitation to pause, listen inwardly, and practise together — noticing what becomes available when we begin paying attention to what the body is already telling us.

In this deeply personal episode, they turn toward their own experiences of grief and the moments in life that touch tender places that still burn.
