Pema Chödrön is one of today's leading meditation teachers. With more than one million books sold to date, she draws sold-out crowds across the U.S. and Canada. On Unconditional Confidence she offers two accessible sessions to help anyone find courage in times of challenge and change. Featuring a three-step method for learning to work with uncertainty and fear and an exclusive interview, this liberating program offers practical tools and teachings...

In this recorded retreat, based on the program 'Living beautifully with uncertainty and change' held at Omega Institute, Pema Chodron 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, and the most difficult situations.

Fear and guilt are two of the greatest challenges we face on the spiritual path, but there is a way to transform these painful feelings into courageous self-acceptance. Pema Chodron presents the five aphorisms for developing fearlessness that were given to Machig Lapdronma, one of Tibetan Buddhism's greatest female teachers.

The author here gives us tools for learning to stay with our uneasiness, and shows us how to recognize "shenpa." She guides us through the sticky feeling - exploring the moments when we get hooked - and offers us a look at the freedom available when we uncover "shenpa," and work with it intelligently and compassionately.
