Fully Alive: A Retreat with Pema Chodron on Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change

Description

"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 Ch dr n 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 Ch dr n 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 guided meditation for developing patience in the midst of irritation ips for accessing your innate strength and confidence-simply by altering your posture"
