How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart—when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain? The answer, Pema Chödrön suggests, might be just the opposite of what you expect. Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed work, Pema shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy.

In this book, renowned Buddhist teacher Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche leads us through the three steps of his Emotional Rescue Plan. First, Mindful Gap is the practice of creating a safe distance between you and your emotions, which gives you the psychological space to work with their energy. Clear Seeing involves recognizing the bigger picture. Finally, Letting Go is the practice of releasing stressful physical and emotional energy through physical exercise, relaxation, and awareness.

We live in difficult times. Life so often seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy our world. Why, then, shouldn’t we cling to the certainty of the comfortable - to our deep-seated habits and familiar ways? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more powerful experience of being fully alive.

Take a slow and deep breath in, and let it out gently. Now pause. Do you notice anything? Nothing at all? It is common to go through life disconnected from your present-moment experiences, such as the thoughts, feelings, or sensations flooding your mind and body. With so many responsibilities on your shoulders, it can be difficult to check out from the world around you and check in to the world inside of you.

Really great for deepening my understanding of meditation
I’m not a beginner to meditation, but had many old ideas about it that I’ve brought into my practice for years. I had gotten to a place of stagnation and complacency, so I wanted to search for new meaning and ideas of meditation and I found this audio book. It has revolutionized my thoughts and approach to meditation in a very short time.

This audiobook I have listened to for over 20 years, over and over again.
I keep learning nuisances, sometimes I forget I’m in pain & then I catch myself, and I learn something all over again. This is Audiobook is timeless, and an absolute comfort in any storm. All the basics are in this audiobook. Like I imagine, how the Bible is for Christians…, I can return to “Meditations for Beginners”, again & again. Something’s I learn all over again, and sometimes I finally get what Jack was meant to tell me, all along. Then, surprises, surprise…, Jack has made dozens of audiobooks. Do the world outside your walls a favor, and keep learning. NEVER set any of them down. Thank you Jack, in San Francisco, and now again in Chicago, again and again❤️

$15.00 credit for 2 hrs.
Keep that in mind when paying for these books audible charges $15.00 per credit and some of these are only worth $5.00. I think it’s unfair that we don’t get a little more for our money.

Perfect book to get started.
I am certified yoga teacher that has always struggled with meditation. Taking the time, what to meditate on, where, how long, etc. Since buying this book on audible, I have been able to set aside 2 mornings per week to focus on this important practice. So thankful, highly recommend! Looking for the next book now!
