Making Friends with Your Mind

The Key to Contentment

De: Pema Chödrön

Narrado por: Pema Chödrön

Have you ever found yourself thinking your way into a tangle of fret, frustration, or gloom? And then something small - a few kind words, the sun glancing through the clouds, a warm cup of tea - gave you a welcome pause from all your inner chatter? With Making Friends with Your Mind, that's what Pema Chödrön helps us to do, not by chance but with our full intention: to stop fighting with our thoughts and reopen ourselves to wonder as naturally as we breathe.

The Buddha saw that the human experience is full of drama: confusion and conviction, joy and sorrow, success and failure - and that our minds love to amplify all of it. "We decide somebody or something is a certain way," muses Pema Chödrön, "and then that judgment gets frozen and fixated, long after things change. And things always change, right?"

In these free-spirited sessions, Ani Pema helps you to bring awareness to those inflexible thoughts and sticking points. Through meditations, daily practices, and the kind of simple pointers that can change our lives, you'll learn that it is entirely possible to return to the flow and freedom of your experiences - and to find your way each day closer to a place of unconditional friendliness with yourself and with those in need.

one of my favorite Pema's

wow, there is nothing like listening to Pema's Voice and her humor and gentleness while she teaches. This audio book is so helpful with the general mind things we all struggle with. Thanks

Amazing Pema

As always, Pema’s talk captivated me. Her sense of reality and her sense of humor allow her to share infinite wisdom with the world. Highly recommend this talk!

Helpful, practical teaching by Pema Chodron

Easy listen...didn't want to stop listening! Loved the questions from tbe audience, and Pema's feedback.

Acceptance and Peace with yourself

I really love Pema's books and talks, and this is no different.

I should point out, however, that this IS a live talk, or rather, a series of talks she gave in 2015 over a few days. Being live, there is an audience, and, in fact, in these talks, Pema invites a lot of audience questions.

This was GOOD.

Either the audio was later edited so only solid and valuable questions and responses were produced, or the audience was totally solid from the start. Very good insights by Pema, good life experience questions from the audience, that touched on various aspects of my own life and way of being with the world and myself.

I really recommend this if you like Pema Chodron's works.

Excellent style, potentially life-changing

Pema has a great, down-to-Earth style founded in Buddhism but with pragmatic insights that can change your perspective and life path
