TS 089 – Radical Compassion with Tara Brach

Have you ever had a desire to “fix” yourself and then this backfires on you? Although the intentions are good, sometimes wanting to change or “fix” how we are, might be thwarting our natural being and who we truly are at our core. Today, we’re speaking with Ph.D., psychologist, author, teacher and my friend Tara Brach to help loosen the grip of difficult emotions and limiting beliefs that separate us from our naturalness. Tara explains, as we develop, the layers of protection that we are constantly adding solidify, creating whom we think we’re supposed to be. Eventually, we are identified by who we’ve created with our protective layers, forgetting who is looking through behind the mask. But we can come back to our true goodness and with real conscious intention…we can wake up from the “trance of unworthiness”. You will truly be amazed with Tara’s simple, but life-changing meditation practice using the acronym RAIN, to bring presence and compassion to any moment of change or struggle and transform our pain and anger into love. About Tara: Tara Brach’s teachings blend Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices, mindful attention to our inner life, and a full, compassionate engagement with our world. The result is a distinctive voice in Western Buddhism, one that offers a wise and caring approach to freeing ourselves and society from suffering. In addition to numerous articles, videos, and hundreds of recorded talks, Tara is the author of the book Radical Acceptance (2003) and True Refuge: Finding Peace & Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart (Bantam, 2013). She has a son, Narayan, and lives in Great Falls, VA, with her husband, Jonathan Foust; their 2 dogs; and her mother, Nancy Brach.
