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

This guided meditation practice brings attention to the continuous space within and around the body, and the aliveness of sound, sensation and feeling that lives through us. While it’s natural for attention to get distracted, the pathway home is a relaxing back into presence – the awake space that is aware of this changing life.

Meditation: Open Awareness – Relaxing Back into Presence (19:20 min)

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.

Unwinding Anxiety with Awareness (Part 1): A conversation with Tara and Dr. Judson Brewer - Anxiety is spiking around the world and we need the radical medicine of awareness to unwind it. In this two-part conversation, Tara and Judson Brewer look at how anxiety is a habit that can be unlearned as we cultivate a curious and kind mindful presence. Jud offers the scientific grounds for this “unwinding”, drawing on his experience as a pioneer and leading researcher in the field of mindfulness and addiction. Together they explore the power of particular mindfulness-based strategies, including noting what is happening, recognizing our habit loops, arousing curiosity and cultivating self-care. They shine a light on the genesis of worrying, how it perpetuates anxiety and ways we can become disenchanted with the habit.

Unwinding Anxiety with Awareness (Part 1): A conversation with Tara and Dr. Judson Brewer

Compassion – the tender resonance of heart – awakens as we allow ourselves to be touched by our shared vulnerability.
 
This series reflects on four primary expressions of an awake, wise heart: lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. In each talk we explore the habitual patterning that blocks our full realization of these innate capacities, and the understandings and practices that nurture their unfolding.
