Full Description

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

On How to Meditate with Pema Chödrön, the American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun and bestselling author presents her first complete spoken-word course for those new to meditation.

Through traditional insights and her personal guidance, offered in 12 sitting sessions, Pema Chödrön will help you honestly meet and compassionately relate with 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

"From my own experience and from listening to many people over the years, I've tried to offer here what I feel are the essential points of meditation," explains Pema Chödrön. Now this beloved voice shares with you her accessible approach—simple and down-to-earth while informed by the highest traditions of Tibetan Buddhism—on How to Meditate with Pema Chödrön.

Not good

This is a recording from a workshop or something - I guess if you were there live it would have a different effect. Waste of money, kind of babbles, which you get in a live thing but the babbling is annoying when meditating. Thought I would get new insights to meditation but just is annoying.

Review for How to Meditate with Pema Chödrön

This is the cd I've been looking for…it gives all the info that i have somehow missed throughout the ears..meant to put years but ears works too..ha ha.

Anyway it is really detailed without being boring and the meditations include hearing, touch/sensation and sight. She recommends meditating with the eyes open to emphasize full presence to what is happening now and that is very challenging. This cd is very difficult to zone out to, she asks for a real presence to get the work done but I always felt like i had her kindness nudging me on.

Review for How to Meditate with Pema Chödrön

Hello,

Just got this. Am having a bit of a problem downloading to iPhone which is the device I would listen to this on. I did manage on my PC...but when I hit the first session...it seems like i jumped into the middle of the course? There is no definite beginning i.e. " Introduction" ? Susan W said the segments were not in the proper order. Can someone tell me the proper order of the recorded segments? Is this a professional recording? The way it is presented visually one would assume so. Any advice anyone?? Don't want to give this a rating as I have not listened so I will for now and come back afterwards to review
