There have been many times in life that I have asked myself “What Would Pema Chodron Do?” Pema tells me to sit and make friends with whatever I am fleeing from. Once or twice I have even done that.
These words will free you from your suffering in life if you really embrace the truth of what she is saying. We dont have to be stuck in our trauma or our negative perceptions of ourselves. We are the ones causing ourselves to be stuck in our cocoon of misery and we are the only ones who can release ourselves.
Pema has such a warm loving and funny sense of humor. I'm still reading this and it's helping me a lot so far. I'm not an advertiser, but I'll suggest that you can get a membership for free on audible, buy the book with the "credit" you get from signing up, and then cancelling your subscription. You get to keep your copy of the book for free after cancelling.
Every speaker identify problems and a vague solution, meditation. I’ve been meditating for years and continue doing it but it hasn’t stopped me from overthinking…etc.
i'm coming back to this particular one after first listening to it in 2012. i had dubbed it onto CDs and listened to it in the car on long trips. my practice waned over the years, but i have revived and strengthened it at the end of 2019 to good effect. often there is just raw feeling that rises from nowhere, unattached to thought. i think i am feeling some shenpa there because it is so deep and it comes so fast and stays so long. its hard to realize something as essentially empty when i feel a hook in me. but i can remain as present as possible when it arises. that's alright.
It is to some. Offers meaning. Meaning through crisis. Something to solve...or be borne. Allows people to see their lives as more than. Some people. Maybe not you❤️

To Live In The Echoes Of Space ...
The space I call HOME.
Where unsettled knowing presents PEACE.
CONFRONTING the past to no longer fearing the future.
Ohhh to live in this space I call HOME
Where only PEACE survives and ego dies.
This is where I reside.
Ohhh to live in the Echoes of space.
Uncluttered and FREE.
Allowing life’s turbulence to TEACH me.
Understanding with CLARITY as to why this journey was meant to be.

This modern day saint’s teachings are as fresh as when I first heard them 20+ years ago♥️♥️

Am i the only one who didn't understand any of that??
+JustinTrojan Dunno. I understood all of it, all too clearly.
+JustinTrojan . its about exploration of the mind. put simply.

...it sounds like she's equating "shenpa", or "getting hooked" as she calls it, with what they call "defense mechanisms" in psychology/psychiatry
No, I m still not getting it
Boooo for charging
Suffering is not at all appealing😐
