Guided Meditation: Letting Go, with Tara Brach

Guided Meditation: Letting Go, with Tara Brach

One way of understanding meditation is a letting go of the habitual clenching of thoughts, the clenching that resists emotions and pulls away from aliveness itself.

This meditation guides us in letting go, first through the body, and then practicing letting go of thoughts and relaxing and resting in the changing flow of experience. The blessing of letting go is a homecoming into the truth and wholeness of what we are, a realization of reality, and freedom.

Magnificent, Tara. This 86 year old with a 50 year meditation practice is deeply appreciative of you and all you offer.

Really like Tara's introductory definition. "One way of understanding meditation is a letting go of the habitual clenching of thoughts, the clenching that resists emotions and pulls away from aliveness itself." A very helpful meditation.

I love the sentence ‘don’t try to figure things out, just rest’ I constantly do that!

[starseed]

I am addicted to negative excitement and I was suffering terribly until I listened to this video. Now I am back to normal, can't thank you enough.

[katherinemartin]

Tara, I can’t tell you how much your teachings and meditations are helping me during this really challenging time in my life. My deepest gratitude to you.

Lovely meditation I drifted off to sleep. Which was a good thing as I'm stressed right now. So I woke up feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Hello Tara today is the first time I have listened to you and have a feeling of awakened to the fact that although I didn’t realise is that I am actually ‘clenching’ and ‘pushing myself to the top of the mountain’ which is causing so much pain within 😞 I thought that because I have lived the way I live and always expected ‘Marilyn’ to be all things to everyone and exert and push herself which seemed the only way to be ‘seen’ and as if she is enjoying and seeming like it is a ‘breeze’ to live this way but now I know I need to give ‘Marilyn’ a break and let her ‘unclench’ and quit ‘pushing herself up the mountain’ Thankyou 🙏

Love this lady. I thank God I found her and this great meditation. Before this I was in a vicious cycle of addiction. Now I'am able to let go of addiction. Feel enlightened and truly grateful thank you🙏

I heard about you for the first time last night. First time doing this meditation and it’s the best I’ve ever done. I’m deeply grateful to you for making it available to us. Love and light

20:35 delightful, practical, restful…in the middle of it, I thought-this could really shift how I see and feel in the world
Namaste 📿🙏🏼

Tara I just found your meditations last week. Great meditation. Honestly, I suffer from doubt, fear and the what if's that are negative. I even thought at one time that if I thought of things that could go wrong, I would be better prepared when they did. That thought pattern took me to places that I seem to not be able to escape emotionally.

[jules]

I Thank you from my Heart to yours, in Love and light to you and all 🙏🏼✨💜

[susannebischoff]
