"Make Love of Your Self Perfect”, with Tara Brach

[@scarlettfreedom3629]

I am listening to this as I battle deep suicidal ideation, truely in a state of physical and mental shock and pain. I am weak, and my heart is broken. Tara, this is the most wonderful, comforting and enlightening talk that is so pertinent to help get through these moments of utter hell and resistance and depression and stagnation. 😭🙏💗

[@graceverssen5651]

You are lovable and irreplaceable, dear. 🧡🦋

[@wiandewaal]

Please don't quit. Talk. I attempted a suicide in 2020. I actually died but had the choice in opportunity to return and so I did. My commitment to love I vowed for in returning. Look into yourself and pull that divine force out into your spirit. Rely on the abillity to transform yourself bit by bit. It is possible! Dwell only in the thoughts that feed love. You willing to do that? You are so worth it to give yourself that opportunity to blossom again. 💖

[@barbarajordan5178]

I hear you I see you You are not alone. Breathe.

[@lindamilne3166]

Thank You Tara and Jonathan ❤❤❤ Keep Well. Love You

[@barbarajordan5178]

Thank you from the bottom of my reawakened heart. The armour crumbling Softened with tears I feel my longing. Breathe. I belong Nothing is wrong with me anymore.

This is beautiful!

Kenneth, you are sadly mistaken.

[@silviamazariegos7976]

My months of insomia finded at today 03:00 the begging of healing the pain i had buried for too long, tears in abundance are giving me hope.. God bless you Tara.

[@earthpearl3790]

I love being able to let my pain and sorrow come out in tears or sobbing. It means my pain is trusting me more and can feel safe expressing, knowing I can be there for it. 🔆

[@patriciamartin6309]

Just listened to this. My mum died recently . It’s a catalyst re calling who I am into question . As I rise I listen to this with headphones in first thing. My hand is on my heart & I hear all of your words and I feel them and I know I am stronger, I know who I am 🙏🏻

[@crenaud641]

I love you !!! Thank you for all you do!!

[@sonyahamel6335]

Thank you, listening to this was very helpful to me right now. I have struggled with difficulties of loving myself all my life, now in my 60s I am learning how to do it. 🙏💗

[@earthpearl3790]

Something to celebrate, this. 🔆 I too am in my 60’s and just learning the importance of relationship building with my pain. I feel as though my connectedness is gradually deepening.

[@lizafield9002]

Sonya & Earth Pearl, so good to know. I'm in late 50s & just now ending long parents-care stint, finally time to examine my own life. Any tips on your journey wd be so helpful.

[@lizafield9002]

@Kenneth's - Wild Raccoon's @Kenneth's - Wild Raccoon's "Love God. Love thy neighbor as THYSELF. On these 2 hang all the law & the prophets." You say it's twisted. Why would you so disparage Jesus' teachings?

[@lizafield9002]

@Kenneth's - Wild Raccoon's Ken Coon, the "good Samaritan" in Jesus's story didn't even BELIEVE in the old testament scriptures. He was not even Jewish. Samaritans believed what you'd call unbiblical false teachings. But Jesus made this character the hero of doing God's will, because the religiously-correct walked on by the dying man, but the samaritan was motivated by Love to risk ridicule & help him. And you? "By their fruits you shall know them." "As you did unto the least of these, so you did to me."

[@lizafield9002]

@Kenneth's - Wild Raccoon's okie dokie. My lifestyle is waste not, serve God & his creatures great & small, & love all. Good Samaritan parable justifies it i guess, but so did everyrhing Jesus said. And you?

[@MrArouyei]

I just paused the video to adjust the earphones and in between I sent you love. Be it the reflection of what you deliver. ¡Namaste and thank you so much!

[@victoria-louisesweet767]

thank you for your wisdom! it never fails to help

[@philmcavity4303]

One year ago in March I was scheduled to be in Arizona with Tara at the week long retreat. And then life happened. My ability to be mindful and to continue my journey has been impacted as wave after wave of lockdown continues. I experienced a gradual shift to negativity through self-judgment. I felt I was unable to just “be” and to navigate. This judged sense led me away from my mindfulness practice. This hour was an awakening. I am so grateful that this video found my feed. Thank you Tara.

[@meli6181]

This was one of the most powerful teachings and healing moments that I’ve ever experienced 🥲🙏💓. Tara, your light is so radiant. Blessings to you and everyone here. This video will help so many people and I hope it’s shared widely! Love and light everyone! 💓✨💓✨

Thank You Tara ❤ healing ❤️‍🩹 from Grief and feeling of unworthyness !

[@carolpridgeon8200]

Well My Beautiful Loving Heart, here I am one year later and this message has brought up grief and tears. So I know I am traveling inward to the source of my pain and feeling it on a conscious level. You are the most beautiful, compassionate, being I know. And I so appreciate your teachings. I can see and hear how human you are and how willing you are to share your humanness with the world. So tender. Thanks so much. I have your book Radical Acceptance and have yet to listen to it because I was sure I couldn't do what is asked. However, this morning I know I can put my hand on my heart and say with feeling, "good morning Gigi, I love you". Your work is so healing...healing each of us one at a time...and colectively healing our planet and each other. Namaste'

[@wendyhuntsman176]

She has such a beautiful, calming presence. Love you Tara!

[@gummyjellies9578]

The song gypsy by fleetwood mac makes me so sad. Like we were taught from a young age to betray the wild free gypsy spirit in ourselves. I always cry to that song like the forgotten spirited girl in me was forgotten and weeps. And i feel society n my own lack of patience and reverence for life is doing the same thing to my own young daughter. 😢

[@RamonaMcKean]

Ah, bless you, Justine, and your daughter too. Being the mom we want to be can be really hard when we hurt inside.

[@ayresnede]

Tara querida, I have no words to thank you for the healing help you offer and guide us through! Be always blessed as you bless us with your love and compassion!

[@AChorister1]

Spirit had this come up in my feed today. I was doing other things; but I recognized the voice, even though I couldn't place your name. It may be two years after the fact; but Spirit always knows what I need. Archangel Michael is my go-to for love. ❤

[@puravidata22]

may you recieve multiplied the blessings you give us through these recordings and your work . I love your stories and your laughter and enjoy and absorb right now every word like a balsam for my soul thank you

[@HelenLange-up1pz]

So grateful for the Hendrix. They really figured it out! He let her know how he needs to be affirmed & loved, which she gladly provides, and he reciprocates. One of the very best books I've ever read. I would recommend it to EVERY couple considering marriage. She found it easy to adore his lips, arms and every part of his body and met his emotional needs by rather simple means. I wish every partner could know how to discover and ask for what they need.

[@stephenduncan8292]

At first your 'therapeutics' gave me a pain across my chest. Then I followed you into your message and I thought (yes) 'this is me; this is you; this is we/us'. So many one-on-one, privately, allude to this 'struggle--in-common'. We whisper amongst our selves - we never shout it. That would only make it worse, not better

[@BeachyTess]

Tara, are beautiful. I listen to your satsangs and meditations daily, You have opened my heart. i do hope you are feeling well, The metta med was powerful but I felt safe in your presence. I will be listening to this frequently. Blessings my friend,

[@carolpridgeon8200]

Thank you very much Tara. Your deep compassion always shines through. And your willingness to reveal your own pain is so reassuring. I am in an intense energetic process and today and yesterday have been very challenging. Your words are so healing. Thanks again. Namaste'

I just ate some bread with sunflower-seed butter and jam. I was really hungry after getting chiropractic work after years of needing it. I feel a lot better. I thank you for visualization of guardians that love me. And of reminding me to be gentle. Freedom. I get tired of thinking about injustices and harms done by others and what happens to so many. Peace 🌹☘

[@sharon-py7os]

i really loved when you said "and its optional, im sorry i didnt say it". many times, sometimes in crucial moments, i was reacting out of some freeze and generally being disconnected from my self . that is so helpful and emphatic for my brain to hear those words.

Thank you Tara. I’ve found you and your teachings recently as I go through a complete falling apart of my life having come off psychiatric meds after 26 years and experiencing the most devastating withdrawals. My whole life has come to a complete collapse and I have no choice but to learn how to bridge the abyss within myself. I’ve so much physical and mental pain that I’m going through but with your guidance I’m beginning to understand what has happened to me. Blessings and gratitude to you. You’re touching my heart and helping me see a way forward as I struggle in the rubble that is on top of me. 💛🙏🏽💛

[@bbarbie105]

Dear Tara, thank you so much for these topics of self love. It has never been more apparent to me than now what it means to love my neighbor as myself. I have not loved myself and the journey in embarking upon this quest to be more compassionate and less judgemental of myself so strongly highlights how this translates to my outer world i.e., other people! Thank you for your practice of self love and translating it in such a way to all of us to make it so accessible. Much love ❤️

[@sayusayme7729]

Thank you so much, I’ve been healing from a traumatic brain trauma, abuse etc. long journey of rewiring bad habits and deep sense of unworthiness. A thief in the night asI listened in fear . So grateful for all the beautiful guidance with compassion. Putting “Humpty Dumpty back together again.” Grateful, radical acceptance is definitely the key to unlocking potential in self love 💕. 💜

Tara, you are so lovely. Thank you for being you! I’d love to see you on the stages if Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, Shanda Sumpter, etc. You need to be known by a much wider audience.

[@palabrasrellenos2681]

Tara’s calming accepting presence seems so different from Tony and co” super excited” ness ....i myself prefer Tara’s style and content. Seeing her share a stage with Tony Robbins would be a high level inquiry into contrast...yet overlap of world views. Different vibe/ frequency/ wavelegth; let us know how it goes( in your mind:)

You might enjoy the videos by Gary Waters. I'm not sure meditation is supposed to help you feel better about yourself. I think it's helpful for feeling less attached to how you feel about life, including your idea of self.

[@marciasinger]

When we incarnate, we typically 'forget' or lose the sense of our Whole Beingness, especially as the socialization process deepens the experience of being 'separate from' -- All That Is, Love, Life. "The trance of unworthiness" then, becomes the by product of our original pain, wounding, on both soul and mundane planes. Blessings to all
