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. |

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. |

Relationships As A Path Of Spiritual Awakening
42:36
|
|
Tara Brach

Befriending Difficult Emotions
58:30
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
| Often without realizing it, painful emotions, like fear or anger give rise to the conviction that "something is wrong". When instead we receive our inner weather with an acceptance and wise attention, we reconnect with our national compassion and wholeness. |
