How to Use Meditation to Deal with Old Trauma

In this short teaching Mingyur Rinpoche talks about how meditation can make our minds more calm, peaceful and pliable, but if we want to deal with a special problem, like an old trauma, we need to mix meditation with wisdom. We need to have some understanding of the trauma and we may need to mix meditation with other methods. You can discuss this teaching in the Monthly Teachings Forum under the topic How to Use Meditation to Deal with Old Trauma..
