Our healing and freedom unfolds as we bring radical acceptance – a mindful, allowing presence – to our moments. This interview looks at how we wake up out of the stories that keep us in fear and self-doubt and discover a true intimacy with ourselves and our world.

2021-12-08 Meditation: Refuge in Presence (18:26 min.) 18:25
Tara Brach
We arrive in presence through the gateway of the body, scanning through with awareness, and then resting with the breath and body sensations. As we include whatever arises with a gentle and kind attention, our inner refuge becomes increasingly stable and openhearted. This meditation ends with a brief lovingkindness prayer.

Mark Nunberg
How can we better understand the essential role of wholesome desire in our Dharma practice? The strength and steadiness of determination depends on discovering and cultivating a wise and resonant desire for awakening. Wholesome desire and resolve evolves and matures over the years of practice and becomes a powerful guide and protection as we navigate the twists and turns of life.

Tara Brach
While the holidays can be times of loving celebration, they can also highlight relational conflicts and challenges. This talk explores how, given the stress of the season, we can bring grace and openheartedness to ourselves and others. Tonight’s class closes with special music: “Love is the Answer” by Len Seligman (with his permission). You can learn more about Len and listen to his latest offerings at https://www.lenseligman.com

2021-12-01 Heart Meditation: Taking in the Goodness (24:31 min.) 24:34
Tara Brach
Taking in the Goodness: Rumi said, “Whenever some kindness comes to you, turn that way – toward the source of kindness.” This meditation guides us to look for the source of loving and to turn in that direction. It begins with a lovingkindness practice that spreads the image of a smile into the body, then continues with a practice of seeing the goodness of ourselves and others.
