Touching Enlightenment With The Body
1:13:49
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Our suffering arises from the unseen, unfelt parts of our experience- our unlived life. This rejected energy is stored in our bodies and prevents us from living wakefully and wholeheartedly. By bringing a courageous, mindful presence to bodily sensations our energies untangle and flow freely. Rather than a frightened resisting "self" we rediscover our full aliveness, connectedness and luminosity of Being. |

Soul Of The Whole
1:21:28
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Our incessant inner dialog contracts us into the sense of a small limited self. The practices of presence - noticing and allowing our experience - awakens us from this limiting identity and allows us to realize the loving awareness that is our essence. |

Realizing Our Basic Goodness
1:17:27
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Our greatest suffering is not realizing who we are. Identified with a sense of separate and deficient self, we forget the basic goodness of our heart and awareness. In this two part series we will explore the practices of presence that support us in awakening from the prison of trance, deepening our empathy and embodying the goodness that is our deepest nature. |

The Path Of Compassion

|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Our deepest nature is compassionate, yet our habitual self-centeredness is an armoring that confines our heart. The Buddhist teachings free us to be of benefit to all those we touch. |

Making Peace With Pain
50:38
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Our conditioning to resist pain creates trance—we become identified as a small, victimized, threatened self. We have the capacity, through mindful, kind attention, to discover genuine freedom in the midst of pain. |
