Publisher's Summary

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

    Step by step

    Pema has a voice that instantly relaxes me. This is the most practical and in-depth guide to meditation I have experienced. I use it whenever I feel unsettled or out of practice with calming my mind.

    Beautifully simple

    This was such a great simple way to begin a meditation practice. Pema is so easy to listen to and teaches with humor and gentleness.
