Your Journey with The Freedom to Choose Something Different
We all know what it’s like to be triggered: our body tenses up, our mind closes down, and we find ourselves reacting in ways that feel beyond our control. In Tibetan Buddhism, this is known as shenpa—the quality of being “hooked” into habitual patterns that cause us to suffer. Given fuel, these sparks of shenpa can grow into raging fires within us. But there is another way.
In The Freedom to Choose Something Different, Pema shares her liberating practice for disarming reactivity and exploring a fresh alternative. Over six in-depth sessions, Pema will help you transform your habits, addictions, and behaviors by guiding you to greater presence in your moment-to-moment choice points.
What You’ll Learn In The Freedom to Choose Something Different:
- The Three Difficult Practices for overcoming shenpa
- The power of pause, a simple practice that makes a big difference
- Cultivating acceptance of your irritability, insecurities, and other less-noble human traits
- Ways to unravel patterns of self-dislike
- How “positive groundlessness” can open the door to freedom in all of your personal interactions
