From this understanding we then learn how to free ourselves from our propensity to suff er through the transformative awareness of impermanence-the dynamic and ever-shifting nature of both joy and suff ering self and selfl essness-and the absolute and eternal fl ow from which all of it arises.What is causing my pain? What will happen if I simply lean in keep company with it hold it with tenderness? Moment by moment Pema supports and encourages listeners to bring an open-hearted sense of curiosity and welcoming to our apparently impossible situations or unbearable relationships-to discover the deeper freedom available just beneath the surface.For those experiencing emotional crisis When Pain Is the Doorway provides expert guidance to help us stop stay present and enter into a more welcoming spacious place of being that is our true home.
