The Second Arrow
presented by Ward Flemons MD, FRCPC
November 5, 2026
There can be many times in our lives that we experience something that is unwanted, unpleasant or worse - it can be physically and/or emotionally painful. Nobody gets through life without many of these experiences - these can be referred to as the 'first arrow'. But the far more devastating arrow is the second one - which is the way we react to the first. Mindfulness provides a tool set for seeing the difference between the two arrows and buffering, or even shutting down the second one with the net result of reducing suffering.
