Tara Brach's Dharma Talks
Tara Brach
A pervasive but often invisible source of suffering in our culture is self-aversion. We are a busy culture, and we move through our life feeling anxious and dissatisfied, but not fully conscious of how we neglect or judge our inner experience. We suffer from a lack of belonging: to our own bodies, to each other and to the earth. When we practice Buddhist meditation, we learn how to listen deeply and hold our life tenderly.
2008-08-27 Listening To Our Life 1:21:28
Listening in a full and open way allows us to come home to our natural state--awake, vast awareness. In an immediate way, a listening attention dissolves the tangles of fear and craving that obscure our wholeness. This class includes both a talk and guided meditations on deep listening to our inner experience and with others.

2008-08-20 Behind The Mask 1:16:13
We each develop and become identified with masks that express a false or narrowed sense of self. Whether it's the helper mask or addict mask, the controller mask or loser mask, the beliefs and emotions creating the mask prevent us from realizing our natural wholeness and beauty. This talk explores how, in the face of inevitable change and loss, we can remember the presence and love that is peering through the mask.

2008-08-13 Let Everything Happen To You 1:16:40
The ways we try to control our life imprisons us in a contracted, fearful sense of self. Yet when we contemplate letting go of control, there is a sense that we will be endangered, that we will fail, that something will go wrong. This talk explores how, if we have the courage to "let everything happen" we discover a presence that is healing and freeing. As we learn to live from this allowing presence, our actions become naturally wholesome and wise.

2008-07-09 Three Attitudes That Awaken And Free Our Spirit 1:13:12

2008-07-02 Conscious Activity 1:19:34
Most meditation guidance is aimed at formal sitting practice. Yet we spend much of our lives "doing" activities and often, in a way that lacks presence.

2008-06-18 Planting Yourself In The Universe 1:13:44
One understanding of suffering is that as individuals and a culture we are uprooted, that we have disconnected from our natural world, our inner life and a sense of belonging with each other.

2008-02-06 Gateways To Happiness 1:12:45

2007-10-31 Stress, Wakeful Relaxation And Freedom 1:11:20

2007-10-03 Path Of Peace 1:12:35
Awakening from the Trance of Separation - We all have conditioning that can keep us at war with our inner life, and fuel violence in the world.

Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC IMCW Wednesday Evening Talks
2007-09-26 The Gift Of Silence 1:18:19
Through all spiritual traditions, there is a valuing of silence and stillness. When the mind has quieted, it becomes possible to see into the truth of what we are. Yet quieting can turn into a battle with the process of the thinking mind. This talk explores practices that allow us to settle in a natural way, the presence which is silence itself, and the wisdom and love that flows freely when we live from that silence.

Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC IMCW Wednesday Evening Talks
2007-08-29 Wise Effort 1:15:58
Cultivating an Engaged Presence - A wholehearted commitment to awakening is intrinsic to the spiritual path.

This talk reflects on the grounds of wise effort: connecting to our deepest intention, and cultivating a genuinely allowing, engaged, presence.
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC IMCW Wednesday Evening Talks
2007-08-22 Touching Enlightenment With The Body 1:12:52
Our suffering arises from the unseen, unfelt parts of our experience- our unlived life. This rejected energy is stored in our bodies and prevents us from living wakefully and wholeheartedly. By bringing a courageous, mindful presence to bodily sensations our energies untangle and flow freely. Rather than a frightened resisting "self" we rediscover our full aliveness, connectedness and luminosity of Being.
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC IMCW Wednesday Evening Talks
2007-08-15 Soul Of The Whole 1:21:25
