Tara Brach

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.

Meditation: Embodied Metta (19:37 min.)

We arrive in presence by deepening attention in the body; relaxing and awakening through a body scan. That presence deepens as we bring our attention to the space of awareness that includes the changing flow of sounds, sensations and feelings. In that wholeness of formlessness and form, we discover our natural being - open, awake and tender.

In this talk, Tara explores:
 
 • the essential role of happiness in times of crisis—how choosing joy becomes a radical act of resilience and healing.
 • the trance of negativity and how mindfulness helps awaken our innate capacity for presence, gratitude, and inner freedom.
 • how positive psychology and Buddhist teachings together point us toward “happiness for no reason”—a deep sense of belonging and well-being.
 • the power of intention—how consciously choosing to flourish shifts us from survival mode into love, connection, and aliveness.
 • daily practices like gratitude and loving-kindness as pathways to true well-being and a heart ready for anything.

This guided practice helps us come into our senses through a body scan. We then rest in the awareness that is listening to and feeling the changing flow of experience. When the mind drifts, the return is a relaxing back to our senses, and to the sea of awareness that includes and experiences the waves of life.

Meditation: Awareness is Our Home (21:40 min.)

In this two-part series, we reflect on the power of devotion as a gateway to awakening that reconnects us with what we love most deeply. Together, we’ll look at how prayer and heartfelt longing can open us to the intrinsic experience of belonging we yearn for. Especially in these times of fear and division, cultivating our natural devotion helps us soften, remember our true nature, and realign with love. In this talk, Tara explores: • The essence of devotional practice as a gateway to belonging and spiritual awakening.
 • How longing and sincere intention can guide us back to our true nature.
 • Prayer as the bridge between longing and belonging
 • The difference between substitutes for love and true aspirations that arise from presence.
 • Tracing desire inward as a practice to reconnect with the source of love and aliveness.

Mindfulness means paying attention on purpose to our moment-to-moment experience. This meditation invites us to collect our attention with the breath and use the breath as a home base for mindful presence. We then include whatever is predominant, recognizing and allowing the changing flow. The blessing of this practice is simple and beautiful: We are learning to be here for our life.
