Tara Brach

This guided meditation helps us find ease and wakefulness in our body and mind. With the breath as our home base, we offer a gentle and full attention to the changing waves. We close with a beautiful poem, “Walk Slowly,” by Danna Faulds.

Meditation: Relaxed and Awake (16:59 min.)

When our body and mind is relaxed, we become filled with a very awake, dynamic quality of presence. This meditation guides us in relaxing, opening our senses and resting in the vastness and inherent freedom of our own natural awareness.

Guided Meditation: Opening to the Sea of Presence (19:53 min.)

In a world where the pace and magnitude of change is beyond anything ever experienced by humans, we are being called to cultivate the qualities of calm, inner balance and a steady, wise heart. These two talks look at the conditioning that fuels our emotional reactivity, and the practices that cultivate equanimity, resilience and a full, openhearted presence. We dedicate to these practices for the sake of our own freedom, and the wellbeing of all beings.

Part 2: A Heart that is Ready for Anything - The Gateway of Equanimity

This meditation invites relaxation and ease. We begin with a long deep breathing that helps calm the body and mind. Then we release tensions that might be held in the body, and settle our attention in a receptive way with the breath. The intention is to discover the relaxed wakefulness that expresses our natural being.

Meditation: Breath by Breath – Inviting Relaxation and Ease

In a divided, reactive, and violent world, how do we embrace love and joy? How do we genuinely include our opponents in our hearts? What gives us the courage to bring our whole being into serving and savoring? And what is our vision for a new world?
 
 
 
 
 
In this fresh and profoundly relevant conversation, Tara Brach and Valarie Kaur explore the challenges and potential of these turbulent times. Valarie, a Sikh activist, filmmaker, civil rights lawyer, and author, shares insights from her powerful books, including See No Stranger and her recent works, World of Wonder and Sage Warrior. Together, Tara and Valarie reflect on:
 
 
 
How Revolutionary Love can be a guide in times of division and despair.
 
 Valarie’s ancestral teachings on surviving apocalyptic times with courage. The role of joy, music, and community in building resilience and connection. • Forgiveness, reconciliation, and transforming anger into meaningful action.
 • Visioning a new world while staying rooted in hope, presence, and love.

Revolutionary Love: A Conversation with Tara Brach & Valarie Kaur

When we are suffering, we are believing something untrue - usually a limiting story about who we are. This talk explores the roots of our self-doubts, and the teachings and practices that remind us of our basic goodness - the loving awareness that is our source (given at the Fall 2019 IMCW 7-Day Silent Retreat - 2019-11-06).

Trusting Who We Are (retreat talk)

Our habitual ways of avoiding pain keep us from experiencing intimacy with our inner life and with each other. This short talk and guided meditation offers instruction in saying “yes” to the life we encounter. As we release resistance, we discover the creativity, wisdom and love that express our truest nature (a reflection from the archives).
 
Listen to the full talk: Saying “Yes” – Meeting Your Edge and Softening.

Short Talk and Meditation: Saying “Yes” to Our Life (11:23 min.)

We all need ways to guide our attention that allow us to find wisdom, love and freedom in the midst of our lives. This talk reviews three archetypal gateways—Buddha/awareness, Dharma/truth, and Sangha/loving community. Through teachings, guided meditations and a traditional refuge ritual, we engage together in bringing alive these pathways to healing and peace.
 
 
 
 In this video, Tara explores:
 
 Spiritual practice as a journey of remembering our inherent goodness and reconnecting to what truly matters. The Three Refuges—Buddha (awareness), Dharma (truth), and Sangha (community)—as pathways to peace and belonging. The difference between false refuges, like seeking approval or blame, and true refuge found in presence and self-compassion. How the RAIN practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) transforms challenging emotions into spacious awareness. The power of widening our circles of belonging through vulnerability, active listening, and embracing shared humanity.

The Three Refuges - Gateways to Belonging and Freedom

This meditation calls on the image and felt sense of a smile as we scan through the body, and invites a receptive and caring presence, as we open our attention to the changing flow of life.

Meditation: Cultivating a Gentle, Kind Attention (19:07 min.)

Drawn from Tara’s book, Radical Compassion (2020), these three talks explore how the RAIN practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) awakens the active, embodied caring that heals and frees our hearts. Through the framework of this practice, we look at how we can reconnect with the gold of our true nature, navigating life’s challenges with mindfulness and love. 
 
 
 
In Part 1, Tara explores:
 
 How the RAIN practice weaves mindfulness and compassion to release self-judgment and awaken our hearts. The story of the "golden Buddha" as a metaphor for discovering our inner radiance beneath protective layers. The shift from "I" to "We" as an essential movement toward connection and wholeness. The importance of self-compassion in transforming the trance of unworthiness and reconnecting with our true nature. Practical ways to bring mindful presence to our daily lives and relationships, creating space for healing and growth.
