How to Meditate with Pema Chödrön

A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind

By: Pema Chödrön

Narrated by: Pema Chodron

When it comes to meditation, Pema Chodron is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost teachers. Yet she's never offered an introductory course on audio - until now.

In How to Meditate with Pema Chodron, subtitled "A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind", the American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun and best-selling author presents her first complete spoken-word course for those new to meditation. Through traditional insights and her personal guidance in 12 sitting sessions, Chodron will help you honestly meet with, and compassionately relate to, your mind as you explore:

The basics of mindfulness awareness practice, from proper posture, to learning to settle, to breathing and relaxation

Gentleness, patience, and humor - three ingredients for a well-balanced practice

Shamatha (or calm abiding), the art of stabilizing the mind to remain present with whatever arises

Thoughts and emotions as "sheer delight" - instead of obstacles - in meditation

Fruitful.

Hard processed, but fruitful. A good guide. I sometimes meditated without audio, and sometimes gets back to get instructions.

meditate

Loved this version as an audible compared to a reading of the book "word for word". Felt like I was at her retreat 😃

New concepts to meditation

Every week just brought great concepts to meditation. If done on a weekly basis, it definitely brings a new perspective every week. Easy to understand and work with. I decided to bookmark all guided meditations to easily access

Intro to Meditation

A great introduction to meditation. I love all Pema Chodron's recordings and insightful books. She is gentle, kind and wise. Humor works to lighten the mood and move the listener effortlessly through the instruction. The recording gives the feeling of being in a live retreat or class setting. Highly recommended.
