What is it like being you? with Tara Brach

What is it like being you? with Tara Brach (2018-07-18)

Compassion is hard-wired in our organism, and can be cultivated. This talk helps us identify the blocks to compassion—our outmoded survival equipment—and using RAIN, offers practical guidance in mindfully attuning to others' emotional experience and awakening our natural tenderness and care. This talk includes a short introduction to the meditation: the RAIN of compassion.

wow. I cannot believe how many of these puzzle pieces I've put together on my own reasoning and feeling. It's wild to hear someone talk about these musings I've had so succinctly and add onto them so i can learn. This was wonderful.

It’s so awesome to hear Tara underscore her own “what’s it like being you”

The jokes are great comic relief from the intensity of these amazing talks 🙏🏾

fear drives one in unrelenting separation from compassion. Mine does, that's for sure. Tara, you always bring me inner peace . . . in the early dark lonely morning . . . thank you so much . . . as soon as I turn my mind to another's suffering and what I can do, some little thing . . . it gets me out of my morning fear. Fear of bodily issues . . . how silly I am

I wish i had someone like Tara in my life. I’d love to have her energy around me everyday

I have one recommendation, I notice that a lot of the guided meditations focus on other people or relationships with other people and I think I often need meditations focused on myself and my internal experiences.

If your liberation is tied to mine, let's work together.

Don't use the phrase "breaking your back" if you want to have a healthy back. Your body is listening.

Where is the center located ? And the name .The location is beautiful..

I know someone who thinks they are tender hearted, .but they are angry unconsciously and are actually extremely selfish and mean. I recommend primal screaming in a car, alone, until exhausted. Expect a LOT more screaming, as the decades of rage come out. Don't forget to act constructively on your passions, if and when you are able.

“ How we open our hearts in groups towards each other”. Serbian & Bosnian eg.
Where’s the US acknowledgement (edit) of its’ part in creating that war & others on an ongoing basis around the world since WWII? Americans really don’t get how much havoc & destruction you’ve caused do you?

Stay out of the affairs of other sovereign counties, stop sending your military to justify your own need to fuel your military industrial complex & fossil fuel based economy, , no one respects your denial, the world is no longer unipolar.

Tara hve had some real support for my practise from your talks for many years, but your veiled respect fo US military & omission of this elephant in the living room, means you’re leaving out a huge swath of audience.
