Relaxing the Over Controller, Part 2 (retreat talk) - with Tara Brach

Relaxing the Over Controller, Part 2 (retreat talk) - with Tara Brach
[talk given on 4/30/2017 at the IMCW Spring Retreat]
We all have conditioning to do what we can to protect and promote our wellbeing. Our suffering arises to the degree that our life and identity become organized around controlling our experience. These two talks look at the emergence of the fear-based “over-controller,” and explore a wise way of witnessing the suffering that comes with over-controlling, and awareness practices that naturally relax and awaken us to our whole and natural Being.

how wonderful this world looks when all i can see is beautiful people like tara and what they do. thank you many blessings

[@zabby9294]

Thank you Tara for this talk. I would appreciate some teachings on how these concepts apply to health care providers. We want our patients to get better and we worry about them, sometimes even feel defeated when we cannot be effective and help them. I wonder how this might be related to wanting to have control over the situation. I feel this may be a great source of burnout. I always enjoy listening to your words of wisdom.

This is a talk that is useful every day and a meditation at 56:49 that I come back to in the most tense of times.

Literally changed my life. I learned that my constant controller was always at work to change my true introverted nature to that of an extrovert. The release has been nothing short of enormous. I cannot thank you enough, Tara!

Wonderful, just what I needed right now. Imprisoned in my own mind of late, so many shoulds and self imposed rules - time to let go and practice some self compassion. Listening to the Radical SA audio book and this helped put things into perspective. Thank you ☺

[@rayleenmarks7573]

Thankyou for showing...
