Thank you for offering these programs for self help.I have fought with these feelings of judging others,comparing myself to others and shame along with not being willing to forgive others for past experiences mostly during my early years.
I feel these programs from Tara and others that have been brought to my attention have been a beginning to my understanding myself. I look forward to further help as I haven”t been successful up to now.”Ineed all the help I can receive!
My heart feels like a heavy stone from someone who betrayed me. It’s like holding my breath always ready to protect myself. I want to crack it open and feel light and air. I look forward to being happy, giggling, carefree and spontaneous again… my real self x
If I could let go of blame and judgement I would be a better wife and mother. I would be free to really experience all the wonderful things in this life.
I would feel much more integrated. I have so much anger at my core… but you would never know It..I come across as confident, strong, funny at totally at ease. Nothing can be further from the truth. I want to feel ease and congruent.
pretty obvious stuff. must be nice for a white woman who has not directly experienced cultural and religious trauma (or doesn’t talk about it). when exactly is it safe to let go of our guard? when will white people be accountable for their roles in perpetuating racism and abusive power in institutions? overall this is fine, but really belies the great societal work that is necessary for the compounded fractures that many of us are seeing – in BIPOC but also white people. Society has its leg in a trap, and we are in its mouth.
Hi, thank you.
My question is people hold grudges which is blame and judgement. You are saying release that grudge. I understand this but I don’t hold grudges. Therefore the U turn yes you feel hurt inflicted by others but rather than a trap, as you say, it’s more selfishness on their part that hurts and those people are just that! How do apply your theory to that apart forgiveness and move forward.

I hope to peel back the layers of judgement, anger and hurt, to find inner peace and reach my potential as a spiritually guided human in this incarnation.

I experienced and I know who I would be and the taste that I got through the meditation of how I can be by really seeing that the other person was most likely coming from a place of pain. and having compassion for that person but at the same time since I have so much pain with my inner child is to really really tend to her at the same time
A exquisite teaching about the secret sauce of self-compassion. Tara Brach has been guiding my meditation life for 25 years and her genuine humanity is a gift she shares with all beings. This practice opened some new space in my heart to let go of past hurts. Thank you.
a better person because I’ve being told that what you dislike in others is what you dislike in yourself so I would say I’d have to clean up my own backdoor first
A more compassionate, allowing and accepting human being. Someone who can see and appreciate another’s point of view or actions from a completely unaffected place.
By letting go of blame I can release the past and come again to my loved ones with kindness rather than seeking to blame someone else for the situation being as it is. It was no one’s fault just a lack of communication about what I needed or expected to happen which then didn’t for whatever reason. My upset was not anyones fault but the second arrow making me feel bad for things not going as I wanted them too
I’d be someone this person wouldn’t even recognize …. deeper, warmer, happier, certainly more loving …… with more capacity than I believe is possible now.
Dear Tara, thank you for your kind guidance through the painful moments of self judgment. Allowing myself to feel the harsh feelings expanded the space at my heart centre, brought me warmth and released the tension I was holding there. I feel such a relieve on the subject I kept holding on for the last 10 years. Thank you again for the opportunity through this short video series. Kind regards, Petra

I would regain and maintain people I’ve lost.
