Relaxing the Over-Controller - Part I with Tara Brach

Relaxing the Over-Controller - Part I (4/26/2017)
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.

Well its taken being 60 to finally begin to see what awakeness means. Bless you Tara and thank you for every shining word that you spoke in these two lectures. I feel like I have a tiller to steer the rest of my life with now in these choppy waters of 2021.

Thank you so much for this talk Tara. It's not the first time I've listened or been blessed by it.

[@susannahazzaro2071]

This helped me so much. Thank you.

[@allanreyes6873]

Thanks for this-- Sounds like the Over Controller is a stone's throw from Eckhart Tolle's Pain Body. Recognition really is a key. Acceptance too. Then, we can work on betterment ❤ Excellent talk once again

[@christelnielandt5117]

Dear Tara, Good morning from Belgium. I feel SO grateful for being able to listen to your podcasts. This has given me so much insights, it’s been mind blowing. Like you keep on repeating, I love to focus myself much more on pauses as well. Love to keep on listening to your wonderful podcasts. I enjoy the stories and little jokes in between very much too. With lots of gratitude. Christel 🙏🌟💖

[@hardydeheer4328]

This was just what I needed to hear

[@Nina-sp1js]

I feel more at ease with conseguances and insecurity what will be because of acting out from part of me that is controller. Whispering thank you to it for protecting me. Knowing it is suffering.

[@donaldreynolds8158]

Thank you so much for helping me. I have serious anger issues. And it makes me hurt so bad.

[@user-dv1nr9bd3z]

Eye opening and relaxing. Thanks a lot!

[@SuperLammens]

this lecture taught and helped me so much overcome the anxiety i feel from being afraid not getting enough money to survive in this culture, living in a house and having the modern day conveniences requires quite a lot of slavery (around 60 yrs from going to school to obtain a paper which gives you acces to job and then if you prostitute yr body mind and soul enough you can get and maybe keep the job if it is not going away by replacement by robot or A I or automation of some sort) What a wonderfull life it is even if we have exploited all natural resources and killing and harvesting the topsoil, trees, and plants and fish and all creatures that can be eaten.

[@Sunny_Day1111]

Gosh, I needed this. Thank you Tara. Your teachings are life changing. So grateful for you 🌻
