Publisher's summary

You can't get away from suffering. That's the good news, teaches Pema Chodron. For at the core of your most painful experiences (perhaps more than anywhere else) you will find the seeds of your awakening. On Noble Heart, this best-selling author and Tibetan Buddhist nun shows you how vulnerability is our greatest spiritual resource amid life's difficulties. Using special meditations and teachings, she shows how to cultivate your own noble heart, one that sheds its armor, and opens fearlessly to both heartache and delight.

This is a full 12-session curriculum of meditations, practices, teaching stories, and real-life examples presented in clear, easy-to-follow language.

always a pleasure

Pema is always a pleasure, very easy listening while I dug myself out of our blizzard. The best part was when she discussed exertion, patience and aggression - being someone short on patience, it is priceless.

Loved it

Hits home for sure! Love the part on levels of laziness and being truthful with ourselves without being judgemental.

This is THE ONE you have been looking for.

Amazing! This lady seemed to be so loving and just down right pure. I love how she teaches you how you can overcome anything you may be going through. Depression, PTSD, theft, loss of loved one, or just a bad day. She also teaches you how to help other people if you like...she teaches what happens to you when you help other people and why.
It is all about transformation at all times. Always changing...Always getting better!
This will be the best book you have ever listened to! : )
Life-changing!

Noble Heart

This is one of the most beautiful program. Just listening to her voice helps center me. After giving an overview of what keeps us from being happy, each track is clearly focusing on one of the 4 techniques of meditations. The only thing I wish is that I could find where the meditations are. I had to write down where exactly they are in order to go directly to them after listening to the program. Awesome program otherwise.

A Wonderful Retreat for the Body and Soul

Noble Heart literally saved my life and sanity years ago when I had to have back surgery for a crippling condition. I had been involved in yoga and meditation practices for years when I found myself debilitated for several months. I listened to this series over and over again and it changed my outlook on where I was and what I was going through. I was happy to be able to get it in a digital format recently during a very stressful time. Broken into chapters that give teachings and meditations it is easy to listen to and digest in bite size pieces. It was recorded during a retreat and gives the ambiance and feeling of being on that retreat. Pema Chodron is a wonderful teacher and meditation guide.

Wonderful

It is what it is, a self-guide to better mental health. It is very enjoyable, but will correct flaws, or help to deepen your self awareness. She is a wonderful teacher.

My favorite Pema Chodron

I listen to at least a few minutes of Pema everyday. The meditation in the final 30 minutes of chapter 11 is my favorite for many years!
