this is a recording of a series of meditation classes pema chödrön gave, meant for beginners. it's all about shamatha meditation, and most of it is with the breath as a meditation object. for me it was quite easy to follow along, and i really liked her voice and humor. there was much food for thought, but most importantly many practical things that help with meditation. the ones i've tried out have proven quite helpful and nice. recommend :)
