From Dragons to Schmoos: Meeting Life with Compassionate Presence - Tara Brach

From Dragons to Schmoos: Meeting Life with Compassionate Presence (02/25/2015) - Tara Brach
The trance of unworthiness is sustained by our aversion to the dragons - the difficult emotions and related behaviors that are a deeply conditioned part of the human experience. In this talk we explore the awakening that is possible as we recognize our reactive patterns and instead of judgment, offer a loving and healing presence.
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Thank you, ma'am!! Very simple but deep truth!! I had temporary enlightening experience over a year back, following the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. However, the PAIN BODY (which you refer as DRAGON) was winning repeatedly over me, making me feel vulnerable, confused, unworthy, allowing MARA to win. I found myself helpless then, despite deepening the practice of mindfulness or presence. I knew something was missing or it's incomplete and I choosed to stay with it then. Only recently, it occurred to me spontaneously that I was missing self-compassion while dealing with inner DRAGON and in that quest, landed up here. I admit that this awareness by itself won't transform my, instead I have to practise Compassionate Presence for myself (when inner DRAGON wakes up & try to take over me) to let go off the delusional sufferings from MARA. Wonderful teaching. Thank you, ma'am, again. With peace and love!! Aditya Gupta Patna, Bihar, India.
