“We train in being present with whatever arises in our experience, whether it is pain or pleasure, something agreeable or disagreeable. This is our path. … The challenge is to be completely present with whatever comes up and see what you discover,” teaches American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön.

With the How to Meditate with Pema Chödrön app, this revered teacher and bestselling author presents a complete spoken-word course for those new to meditation. Through traditional insights and her personal guidance, Chödrön will help you honestly meet and compassionately relate with your mind as you explore:

- The basics of mindfulness awareness practice, from proper posture to learning to settle to breathing and relaxation
- Gentleness, patience, and humor—three ingredients for a well-balanced practice
- Shamatha (or calm abiding), the art of stabilizing the mind to remain present with whatever arises
- Thoughts and emotions as “sheer delight”—instead of obstacles—in meditation

"From my own experience and from listening to many people over the years, Ive tried to offer here what I feel are the essential points of meditation," explains Pema Chödrön. With this app, enter your meditation practice with an accessible, down-to-earth approach to achieving true mindfulness.
