Guided Meditation: Vipassana Seeing Practice Seeing Clearly - Tara Brach Tara Brach 2023-09-01 | Guided Meditation: Vipassana Seeing Practice Seeing Clearly - Tara BrachVipassana, 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.Listen: tarabrach.com/meditation-vipassana-seeing-clearly-3 **********These free offerings are made possible by your generosity.

Rewiring for Happiness and Freedom, Part 2 - Tara Brach Tara Brach 2023-08-10 | Rewiring for Happiness and Freedom, Part 2 - Tara Brach [Originally published 2018-10-18]The Buddha said, “I would not be teaching this (a path of awakening) if genuine happiness and freedom were not possible.” While this is our potential, we each have deep conditioning to get stuck in feelings of fear, deficiency and separation from others. These talks explore the two interdependent pathways of undoing the conditioning that blocks our potential. In Part I we will look at how we can intentionally arouse states of wellbeing, and with practice, develop them into ongoing traits that bring presence and joy to our lives. In Part II, we will investigate how to cultivate an unconditional presence, and the radical acceptance and love, that are the grounds of true happiness and inner freedom.Please enjoy this remastered version of one of Tara's most popular talks, originally published on 2018-10-18. **********These free offerings are made possible by your generosity.

Unwinding Anxiety with Awareness (Pt. 2): A conversation with Tara Brach and Dr. Judson Brewer Tara Brach 2023-06-15 | Unwinding Anxiety with Awareness (Part 2): A conversation with Tara Brach and Dr. Judson Brewer [2023-06-14]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.Watch part 1: youtube.com/live/q1gUtrM5Wnw?feature=share*******************************These free offerings are made possible by your generosity.

Guided Meditation: Cultivating a Relaxed Attention - Tara Brach Tara Brach 2023-06-09 | Guided Meditation: Cultivating a Relaxed Attention - Tara BrachIn this meditation we engage a relaxed and alert attention by scanning through the body, opening to sound, and resting in the awareness that includes all the senses.

Unwinding Anxiety with Awareness (Pt. 1): A conversation with Tara Brach and Dr. Judson Brewer Tara Brach 2023-06-08 | Unwinding Anxiety with Awareness (Part 1): A conversation with Tara Brach and Dr. Judson Brewer [2023-06-07]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.Watch Part 2: youtube.com/live/GAVMTRkFkBE*******************************These free offerings are made possible by your generosity.
