2011-04-27 The Blessings of Embodied Awareness 1:20:13
Tara Brach
One expression of our suffering is homelessness--feeling cut off from the presence and aliveness that is our source.

Tara Brach
The habit of self-judgment not only causes emotional pain, it creates a trance that obscures the purity and vastness of our Being. This talk explores how a wakeful and forgiving heart can heal and free us. (Retreat Talk)
2011-05-11 The Buddha's Awakening: A Myth for Us All! 1:14:08

2011-05-18 Stepping Out of Time 1:14:55
Tara Brach

2011-05-25 Part 1: Stress and Meditation 1:22:13
