- "In this session, Pema Chödrön and Tami Simon talk about how to find a sense of ground when things feel groundless. Then, Pema introduced listeners to the practice of “compassionate abiding,” a practice you can use on-the-spot when you begin to feel uncomfortable so that you can welcome into your experience that which feels difficult or unwanted.

Also discussed:
The importance of staying embodied when we begin to feel anxiety or a sense of panic, and how to do this
The teaching that we can ""place the fearful mind in the cradle of lovingkindness""
Accessing the wisdom inherent in emotions
The traditional practice of tonglen (or ""taking in and sending out""), and how we can use this practice to develop our empathy and send relief to others who are suffering
The essence of bravery
How prevalent it is for people to be unfriendly towards themselves, and the importance of cultivating ""unconditional friendship"" and befriending even those parts of ourselves that we want to reject"

I turned “the news” off 7 years ago and my mind and well-being is exponentially better.
I stopped on “the news” while changing channels twice since then and it literally took less than 1 minute to remember why I made the decision to leave the “poison your mind, body, spirit” box (TV) alone 7 years ago.
Absorbing poison through my eyes and ears by way of “the news” is no different than eating poison through my mouth and the result is ultimately the same:
Sickness and Dis-ease.
Great talk!!
Thank you. I love Pema Chodron’s realism. Being real about addictions and other human behaviors and just being with it all unconditionally. It’s so relieving.
When distractions try to take me over, Pema is like turning and coming back home...
I'm listening to this talk every day when I am out for my walk up the hill. Feeling the open space and breathing in and out allows me to loosen up all the tightness inside my body. Thank you so much for the wonderful guidance.
I love, love, love, LOVE Pema! Thank you!
💚💙💜
I bow to you. Unconditional love means no conditions required. I love this. ❤
Thank you so much sweet Tami and Pema 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you.
Namaste, Ani Pema. You have taught me so much over the years. I am grateful for the access to your teaching.
I couldn't have found this at a better time. Thank you as always, Ani Pema. 🙏
I've been thinking so much abt what Pema Chodron would say abt all this crazy pandemic related stuff so THANK YOU so much for posting this! Greetings everyone, from 🇨🇦 👋 🏡 🙏
Mixed Media Life the famous journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted the other day that the must read book for the pandemic was When Things Fsll Apart saying It is as she wrote forseeing the pandemic.
Hello everyone and blessings from Oregon! 💜. 🇺🇸
Eckharts views are also interesting and Michael Singers
Beyond Thank You Pema for being in my life, your brilliance and insightful compassion has enriched and saved my life many times xo
Deep gratitude to Tami and Pema. Deep bow to you.🙏
Great conversation: great speaker, and great question-asker! Tami Simon is really asking where it hurts, so different from self-declared human-connection "experts" who just nod to whatever their invited speker says! Thanks for unpicking and probing!
A wise mature teacher.We tend to live in times where quick fix spiritual teachers are in abundance but this monk has taught people to transform their suffering with wise age old non dogmatic techniques..I’ve also listened to Thich Naht Hahn for 30 years...another monk who,offers us medicine for,our ills
Thank you both. Sending love and blessings

Thank you!❤️🔥
“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times…..” 😉 (Dickens- Tale of Two Cities) Groundlessness is a constant. Love you Pema! Thank you! ❤️🙏
Thank you, helped me a lot
I like to think that being aware 30:09 of being aware will help me understand that only oneself can allow self-compassion.
So so so wonderful. Since the start of this pandemic, I have been thinking about Pema and what she would say. Thank you very much Tami and Ani Pema. So grateful for this gift. i will listen to it many times. Beautiful teachings.
I'm not religious or even spiritual but if I was on my deathbed I'd want either my mother or Pema Chodron to hold my hand. Beyond all the Buddhist stuff she's just a beautiful and loving woman. Yes I'm probably in love.
She would tell you it is BECAUSE of her Buddhism that she is the person you described.
Me too.
"Michael Singer" has a amazing book called "The Untethered Soul" actually changed my thinking about things. So lets just say, it made a lot of sense! Blessings 💜
@@heatherremlin8607 the journal workbook accompaniment is beautiful and really helps you to delve into the teachings x
So true
Yes please
Truly beautiful 😊
I absolutely love this and am using her technique for releasing and breathing. It is so helpful. thank you

I've found it to be a difficult adjustment to wearing the masks. I understand the need of course, but I find that people aren't making any eye contact or giving a head nod of acknowledgment, and we can no longer see if another is smiling at us. I find it somewhat depressing to be anywhere out in public, but it's true that we're all going through this together and having compassion for their possible discomfort will help us to feel differently toward this whole situation. (I find it anxiety producing wearing the masks and have found myself having asthma again when wearing it, but it has to be done for now and I'm trying not to just stay isolated at home in order to avoid wearing it and this discussion has really helped.
Thank you both so much for the breathing awareness and compassionate perspective this talk has offered. xo
Greetings from Oregon! I agree about the mask thing so I found one that has a smile silkscreen on it. Makes me feel better. I found it on Amazon, of course 😏 Blessings 💜
Its hard wearing them for 13 hours at work. Especially as i work with dementia and hard of hearing patients who then feel scared or cant lip read
A wonderful and helpful talk
What a wonderful talk.
thoughts inspired by this talk.
emotional ice is the soul turning away from the emotion, sending its energy in another direction, away from the mind and in the moment..
Until you turn around and it must be dealt with or shuttled off into yet another direction to be out of mind in the moment.
we learn to package it up and push it around like a empty packing box in ones mind.
Problem is we fill it up over time, taking the emotional shortcut, and stuffing the new or old emotion into or new "I don't have time for this" logic-emotional separation.
And the box gets heaver and heaver as we pile up the shortcuts.
Soon the effort to move this logic construct is not trivial. It no longer is seeming to save time in the moment.
The work needed to go through old, now all mixed up with all the other strings of slithering of emotions without proper emotional context. stale and fuzzy facts of the emotional event or seeding that was emotionally suppressed.
emotional Ice is just the emotions pushed aside for any reason, without the attentive (abiding) energy to keep in an unfrozen state within.
Thank you so much. I'm in tears. Thank you Pema Chödrön and Tami Simon. This compassionate wisdom is so appreciated.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hate it when people say "unpack" in relation to ideas-stops me dead.....hahaha...and I laugh at myself for this human aversion in the face of such open compassion... thank you two.
kathleen clarke -I experience the same response to this term! Drives me nuts!
I don’t “resonate” with “unpack” either haha
kathleen clarke the other word of the moment is “curate”. What did we do before everything was “curated”??
It used to get on my nerves too, but I now picture a giant picnic basket full of sandwiches and cupcakes...😉
Interesting. I like the word unpack-what else to do with our baggage? As an academic, though, I’m used to the term as an invitation to discuss more and to work toward understandings.

How does it feel in my body when I surrender to the realization that being grounded while free-falling as a human being on a planet that is not grounded to anything…yet is perfectly spinning on Her axis rotating around Her Sun which is also simp;y one solar system within one universe of multiple universes? To bear witness to the unbearable is what we are being called to do now. Holding it all on consciousness as we are simultaneously held by Great Mother whose embrace is Infinitely Infinite. Perhaps, the question is not so much about how my body feels, as it is about being willing to be breathed by Mother who created out of Herself to experience Herself in form? So, -perhaps, my feelings are not only my feelings per se, but are also the longing of the Communion of Souls to experience the totality of Wholeness which must include ALL Potential and Possibility, ie., both sides of any polarity. I feel my body/mind/soul longs to LOVE it all…. LOVE LOVES EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE….including and maybe especially all that appears unloving. At any rate, IN COMPASSIONATE ABIDING, ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. ❤️

Thank you.
