| Abstract: | (from the chapter) Although it is commonly acknowledged that difficult experiences bring about positive growth and change, it can be challenging as psychotherapists to offer clients the assurance and tools necessary to embrace painful emotions. Several spiritual practices from the East, including mindfulness meditation, hatha yoga, and tonglen meditation, offer conceptual ideas and concrete methods that can assist in this process. The current chapter offers in-session activities and homework assignments that can be integrated into psychotherapy with clients holding diverse religious beliefs.
