How to Meditate

4.2/5 ( ratings)

A Practical Guide to Making Friends with Your Mind

More and more people are beginning to recognize a profound inner longing for authenticity, connection, compassion, and aliveness. Meditation, Pema explains, gives us a golden key to address this yearning.

This comprehensive guide shows readers how to honestly meet and openly relate with the mind to embrace the fullness of our experience as we discover:
• The basics of meditation, from getting settled and the six points of posture to working with your breath and cultivating an attitude of unconditional friendliness
• Gentleness, patience and humor – three ingredients for a well-balanced practice
• Shamatha , the art of stabilizing the mind to remain present with whatever arises
• Thoughts and emotions as “sheer delight”– instead of obstacles-in meditation

Here is a indispensable book from the meditation teacher who remains a first choice for students the world over.

Ani Pema Chödrön is an American-born Tibetian Buddhist nun and best selling author. She taught as an elementary school teacher for many years in both New Mexico and California. Pema has two children and three grandchildren.

Format: Kindle Edition

Publisher: Jaico Publishing House
