About this listen

 We live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a roiling and turbulent river threatening to drown us. Why, in the face of that, shouldn’t we cling for safety to the certainty of the shore—to our comfortably familiar patterns and habits? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging leads only to even greater suffering.

In this recorded retreat, based on the program Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change held at Omega Institute, Pema Chödrön and her teaching assistant, Meg Wheatley, provide a wealth of wisdom for learning to step right into the river: to be completely, fearlessly present even in the hardest times, the most difficult situations. It’s the secret of being fully alive. The teachings and practices they present includes:

• A teaching based on a Native American prophecy for cultivating the ability to take nothing personally
• A guided meditation for developing patience in the midst of irritation
• Tips for accessing your innate strength and confidence—simply by altering your posture Alternative & Complementary Medicine Buddhism Meditation Spirituality

I loved this. I’m an ordinary woman with a family juggling the usual stresses and strains of life. This has helped me a great deal to adopt a fresh approach without needing to turn my life upside down.

Warm real honest advice on coping with life

This really is a rather rambling series of lectures. There are FAR better ones by her, and she tells you nothing new in this one. Try “Living Beautifully With Uncertainty And Change”. That is coherent and really excellent.

Not one of her best.
