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
    • ©Pema Chodron; (P)Sounds True     Alternative & Complementary Medicine Buddhism Meditation Spirituality Mindfulness Witty
    Soothing Voice • Humorous Content • Insightful Teachings • Positive Exercises • Foundational Wisdom

    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

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

    Fruitful.

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

    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.

    This series of lectures was a wonderful introduction to meditation for me. I think my understanding of what one can aim for was greatly expanded. I enjoyed her clarity, her lightness and humor and will listen to it more than a few times. Personally, I had no problem with the sound... in fact, it felt good to hear the resonance of the room which made me feel like I was there as well.

    Excellent and Useful

    This is a beautiful course in meditation and would be excellent as an introduction or for someone like me who needed a “reintroduction.” Pema’s voice is soothing so if you are hurting or suffering from a wild mind, you can find safety and grounding. I loved that she teaches how to focus your meditation on each of your senses. There is something here for everyone.

    Exactly what I needed

    I felt positive results from the exercises before I even finished the book. it was easy to understand, and Pema's voice was very soothing and relaxing, not to mention she is very humorous and personable. I enjoyed the book so much i even went and bought another of her books in paperback. I would recommend it to any one who is interested in learning to meditate or simply destress and relax.

    Excellent listen!
