Tara Brach

This two part series explores how we regularly leave our body and skim life’s surface in a mental trance, and the ways we can train our attention to come home again. We look at working with physical and emotional pain, and the gifts of love, wisdom, creativity and aliveness that arise as we learn to fully inhabit these living forms and all our senses with awareness.
 
 
 
In part 1, Tara explores:
 
 • how embodied presence is the gateway to healing, love, and spiritual connection.
 • the four common trances—obsessive thinking, judgment, distraction, and rushing—and how they block presence.
 • how disconnection from the body fuels suffering, while mindful awareness restores empathy and wholeness.
 • practical ways to return to the body throughout daily life and expand our capacity for presence.
 • how slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and sensing the body open us to the sacred mystery of life.

Embodied Presence - Portal to the Sacred, Part 1

We miss many moments of this precious life drifting in a virtual thought world. This meditation helps us collect and calm ourselves with the breath; relax through our bodies; and then include the changing dance of sounds, sensations and feeling in open awareness. Our practice is to recognize the quality of Hereness, and when we drift, return again to this open presence, relaxing with the changing flow of life.

Meditation: Being Here (20:53 min.)

Listening is more than a communications skill, it is a capacity that awakens our awareness. And given our current times, this capacity is essential if we are to navigate the great divides that separate us from our inner life and others. As we learn to listen inwardly, we begin to understand and care for the fears and vulnerability that ask for our attention. And as we listen to others, that same intimacy emerges. In this two-part series we examine the blocks to listening and the practices that cultivate this essential domain of human potential. Our focus is both on the transformational power of listening in our personal lives, and also the necessity for deep listening if we are to bring healing to our wider society. 
 
In this talk, Tara explores:
 
 • listening as a spiritual path that heals wounds and deepens connection with ourselves and others.
 • how to quiet the “dense forest” of thoughts to meet others with presence and care.
 • practical ways to stay present—using anchors, pauses, and self-coaching in conversations.
 • how compassionate listening helps others feel seen, restoring a sense of aliveness and belonging.
 • listening as a bridge for reconciliation, revealing our shared humanity and capacity for healing.

Listening to the Song – Part 2

Listening to sound is opens up to the space of pure being. In this guided practice we begin by awakening through the body, and then explore listening to sounds and silence, and to inhabiting the receptive presence that is listening, awareness itself.

Meditation: The Silence that is Listening (21:32 min.)

Listening is more than a communications skill, it is a capacity that awakens our awareness. And given our current times, this capacity is essential if we are to navigate the great divides that separate us from our inner life and others. As we learn to listen inwardly, we begin to understand and care for the fears and vulnerability that ask for our attention. And as we listen to others, that same intimacy emerges. In this two-part series we examine the blocks to listening and the practices that cultivate this essential domain of human potential. Our focus is both on the transformational power of listening in our personal lives, and also the necessity for deep listening if we are to bring healing to our wider society. 
 
 
 
In this talk, Tara explores:
 
 how listening softens distance between hearts and invites deeper connection. “listening to the song” as a way to honor the essence beyond our roles and stories. common obstacles to presence—distraction, fear, and agendas that block true listening. how deep listening can help heal old wounds, allowing love and aliveness to flow more freely. listening with an undefended heart, willing to be changed by what we hear.

Listening to the Song – Part 1

This meditation begins with listening to sounds as a portal to spacious awareness. In addition to guiding attention to naturally occurring sounds, Tara plays chimes and gongs to deepen the experience of receptivity and openness. The meditation progresses to include all experience - sounds, sensations, thoughts, feelings - in the vast, transparent, timeless space of awareness.

Meditation: The Sky-like Mind (20:29 min.)

What if a key to personal and collective transformation lies in reclaiming our deep capacities for presence and imagination? In this two-part series, we’ll explore how mindfulness awakens us from the trance of fear and separation, reconnecting us with our innate clarity and compassion. And we’ll discover how imagination, when grounded in presence, becomes a superpower—allowing us to envision new possibilities for our lives, our relationships, and our world. These talks include reflections that activate imagination in ways that can heal our hearts, deepen connection with others and help bring forth a more loving, just and awakened world. In this week’s talk (Part 2), Tara explores:
 
 • How shifting our perceptions through imagination can free us from habitual fear and separation. 
 • The power of storytelling to awaken compassion and soften rigid patterns of reactivity. 
 • How imagination helps us reconnect with our inner wholeness and sense of possibility. 
 • The practice of mindful presence as a gateway to creative and loving awareness. 
 • How we can reimagine our identity, releasing limiting beliefs and touching into our true belonging.

The Healing Power of Imagination: Transform Yourself and the World, Part 2

“Peace is this moment without judgment,” writes poet Dorothy Hunt, “this moment in the heart-space where everything that is, is welcome.” This meditation is a guide to opening to the truth of what’s here, and meeting it with a gentle, allowing presence. As we do, we can touch the inner peace of non-judging awareness, and source our actions in that balance and wisdom.
