Tara Brach

This two-talk series explores our capacity to be tender – sensitive and responsive to ourselves and others. This capacity marks a radical evolutionary shift from a self-centered existence shaped by fear, to a life lived from the realization of our collective belonging and the preciousness of all life. The talks examine the conditioning that inclines us toward dissociation and emotional reactivity, and the practices of presence that evolve our heart and awareness.
 
 
 
~ from the talk: Pope Francis invites us to “live the revolution of tenderness,” which is expressed through closeness, compassion and service…
 
 
 
Part 2 - coming soon!

The Revolution of Tenderness - Part 1

This meditation guides us in awakening our awareness by opening to all our senses and recognizing the alert presence that is always, already here. By relaxing back into the presence over and over, we become familiar with the reality that is truly our home.

Meditation: Awake Awareness is Our Home (19:08 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 2, Tara explores:
 
 • How unmet needs and emotional reactivity block authentic connection in relationships.
 • The "limbic controller" and its strategies, such as blame, avoidance, and pretending, that create distance in relationships.
 • The transformative power of the RAIN practice in healing relational patterns and fostering deeper intimacy.
 • The importance of recognizing the "goodness behind the mask" in ourselves and others to bridge separation.
 • Stories and reflections that illustrate the healing potential of Radical Compassion in even the most challenging relationships.

Part 2 - Radical Compassion - Loving Ourselves and Our World into Healing

Discover the essence of lovingkindness in this first talk of Tara Brach's series, "Present Heart: The Universal Expressions of Love." This series delves into four primary qualities of an awake, wise heart: lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity.
 
 
 
In Part 1, Tara explores the nature of lovingkindness — how it can be blocked by our habitual patterns, and how we can nurture and fully realize this innate capacity through mindful practices and understanding. ❤️
 
 
 
What You’ll Learn:
 
 • Understanding the nature of lovingkindness and its role in spiritual growth
 • Recognizing the habitual patterns that block the expression of love
 • Learning practical techniques to cultivate and deepen lovingkindness
 • Insights on how lovingkindness can transform your relationship with yourself and others

Lovingkindness – Part 1 of Present Heart: The Universal Expressions of Love

Our being has many frequencies of aliveness and as we attend to the more subtle, we discover a portal to the radiant awareness that is always here. This meditation guides us in using the breath and attention as we scan through the body and awaken an inner luminosity. We then open the attention to rest in the whole field of awake awareness.

Meditation: Lighting Up Your Energy Body

The breath can be our gateway into the boundless awareness that holds all life. This meditation begins with a breath that calms our nervous system, and then invites a relaxed presence with the breath and sensation that open us to the “universe breathing.” Resting in awareness, we realize the wakefulness, peace and vitality of pure presence.

Meditation - Awakening Compassion (from retreat)

Radical Compassion - Part 1 (retreat talk) (2017-04-30) - Compassion is the medicine we most need as individuals and a species to heal suffering and free our spirits. The essence of compassion for ourselves and others - what I call Radical Compassion - has three key elements: it is an embodied experience (a felt sense of tenderness), it is inclusive all beings, and it naturally moves us to act from a caring heart. This two-part talk explores the alchemy of Radical Compassion and guides us in awakening this intrinsic expression of our evolutionary potential.

Radical Compassion - Part 1 (retreat talk) (2017-04-30)

Our True Nature - Emptiness Dancing (retreat talk) - The most profound question in spiritual life is “who (or what) am I?” This talk explores ways of inquiring into the nature of awareness, and the blessings of embodying the realization of our radiant, empty essence. This audio talk was first offered at the 2011 IMCW Fall Weeklong Retreat, and it includes several guided reflections.

Our True Nature – Emptiness Dancing (retreat talk)

Vipassana, also known as insight meditation, is training in bringing a clear, mindful attention to our moment-to-moment experience. We begin by relaxing through the body and then resting attention with the breath – or some other sensory anchor – and allowing the mind to settle. Then we open to whatever is predominant or calling our attention – sensations, emotions, sounds – meeting each arising experience with a clear, kind attention. The gift of this process is discovering balance in the midst of the changing flow, and gaining deep insight into the nature of reality.

Meditation: Vipassana - The Practice of Seeing Clearly (18:02 min.)
