Tara Brach

This meditation calls on the image and felt sense of a smile as we scan through the body, and invites a receptive and caring presence, as we open our attention to the changing flow of life.

Meditation: Cultivating a Gentle, Kind Attention (19:07 min.)

Drawn from Tara’s book, Radical Compassion (2020), these three talks explore how the RAIN practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) awakens the active, embodied caring that heals and frees our hearts. Through the framework of this practice, we look at how we can reconnect with the gold of our true nature, navigating life’s challenges with mindfulness and love. 
 

 In Part 3, Tara explores:
 
 • How the RAIN practice fosters compassion and connection by dismantling barriers to belonging.
 • The three primary blocks to compassion: self-centered attention, creating a "bad other," and fear of overwhelm.
 • How "stealth metta" and the mantra "We are friends" can soften our habitual biases and awaken kindness.
 • The transformative power of seeing the "goodness behind the mask" in ourselves and others.
 • The practice of Tonglen - breathing in suffering and breathing out care, to transform pain into a source of strength and connection.

Radical Compassion – Loving Ourselves and Our World into Healing – Part 3

While meditation is widely practiced in today’s world, many miss the opportunity to tap into its profound potential to awaken the heart and mind. Beyond its surface benefits, meditation can guide us to the radiant light, boundless love, and pure awareness that is our true nature. This reflection explores how we often lose touch with the deeper possibility meditation offers, and guides us in approaching practice and daily life in a way that opens us to the timeless freedom and awakening of a Buddha.
 
In this week’s talk, Tara explores:
 
 • Ways that deepening our meditation practice can help us navigate personal and collective challenges with greater ease.
 • The power of mindful presence to awaken compassion and build resilience in the face of difficulty.
 • Self-compassion as an essential practice for healing and reconnecting with our inner goodness.
 • The transformative role of spiritual community (sangha) in nurturing belonging and shared purpose.
 • How the practices of mindfulness and self-compassion can help us awaken from habitual reactivity and find a greater sense of connectedness and freedom.

The Infinite Game - From Self-Improvement to Spiritual Freedom

This meditation guides us to awaken to our senses through scanning through the body and then listening to sounds. When distracted by thoughts we relax open again and again, learning to rest in the formless awareness that includes sounds, sensations and all passing experience.

Guided Meditation: Rest As Presence

When our body and mind is relaxed, we become filled with a very awake, dynamic quality of presence. This meditation guides us in relaxing, opening our senses and resting in the vastness and inherent freedom of our own natural awareness.

Guided Meditation: Opening to the Sea of Presence (19:53 min.)

In a world where the pace and magnitude of change is beyond anything ever experienced by humans, we are being called to cultivate the qualities of calm, inner balance and a steady, wise heart. These two talks look at the conditioning that fuels our emotional reactivity, and the practices that cultivate equanimity, resilience and a full, openhearted presence. We dedicate to these practices for the sake of our own freedom, and the wellbeing of all beings.

Part 2: A Heart that is Ready for Anything - The Gateway of Equanimity

This meditation invites relaxation and ease. We begin with a long deep breathing that helps calm the body and mind. Then we release tensions that might be held in the body, and settle our attention in a receptive way with the breath. The intention is to discover the relaxed wakefulness that expresses our natural being.

Meditation: Breath by Breath – Inviting Relaxation and Ease

In a divided, reactive, and violent world, how do we embrace love and joy? How do we genuinely include our opponents in our hearts? What gives us the courage to bring our whole being into serving and savoring? And what is our vision for a new world?

Revolutionary Love: A Conversation with Tara Brach & Valarie Kaur

Lovingkindness becomes full when it is energetically experienced in our bodies. This meditation guides us in awakening the receptivity, warmth and openness of metta through our body, and then invites us to rest in the space of loving presence, as we open to whatever arises.
