A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind
Hardcover Book
Full Description
Awards and Acknowledgements:
- Library Journal's Best Books of 2013 selection
From Pema Chödrön, her first in-depth how-to meditation book for creating and enjoying a fulfilling practice
Pema Chödrön is celebrated worldwide for her ability to transmit teachings that awaken peace, understanding, and compassion into our lives. With How to Meditate, the American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun offers us a complete guide to exploring the essentials for a lifelong practice.
More and more of us are beginning to recognize a deep inner longing for authenticity, connection, and aliveness. Meditation, Pema explains, gives us a golden key to address this yearning. Here, she shows us how to meet and relate with our minds, embrace the fullness of all experience, and live in a wholehearted way. Join her to discover:
- The basics of meditation, from getting settled and the six points of posture to working with the breath and cultivating an attitude of "unconditional friendliness"
- The Seven Delights—how moments of difficulty can open doorways to awakening and love
- Shamatha (or calm abiding), the art of stabilizing the mind to remain present with whatever arises
- Thoughts and emotions as “sheer delight”—not obstacles—in meditation
And this is what the world needs,” writes Pema. How to Meditate provides us with a perfect way to begin that journey.
