Releasing the Habits that Imprison Your Spirit, Part 1 - Tara Brach

Releasing the Habits that Imprison Your Spirit, Part 1 - Tara Brach [2023-05-10]
Addictions of all levels of intensity arise from disconnection and are spiking globally. Humans are experiencing epidemic levels of loneliness, and this combined with engineered products and substances that are highly addictive leads to great suffering. In these two talks, we explore how we get hooked on behaviors that we know cause harm, and how mindfulness and self-compassion can serve our freedom. Key to this process is reconnecting with our inner life, and remembering we are in this together, awakening together.

Also look at the marijuana and nicotine industry since they came out with flavored vape pens. They are the most addicting and costly things I have ever tried. I am vegan and now all the vegan junk food that has come out is also so addicting. The COFFEE industry!!! Caffeine gives me anxiety but most people I know it is their base line to be caffeinated. I’m trying slowly to quit everything. Four years ago I quit going to the weed shops and spending hundreds on vape pens to help me with physical and emotional pain. That was so hard. Three years ago I quit drinking alcohol and doing street drugs. Also very very difficult. I quit smoking nicotine vape pens a few months ago and it’s been sooooooo hard. Now I am 2 days off coffee. I feel like crap. Next I am tackling processed foods. Year by year I have worked on a very deep rooted habit I picked up in my 20s that lasted into my 30s and has affected my mental and spiritual health. Also…can we talk about people addiction??? I first had to block and get away from all toxic friends in order to stop all these toxic habits!!! I won’t let anyone in my life that drinks, does drugs, or smokes! I’m slowly getting there but the years and years of putting shit into my body I know will take years to undo so I am patient 🙏🏻😭❤️

I listened to some of your podcasts over a year ago after I became aware of my past and reactions and choices in my life that never made sense. I had years of therapy. But the secrets never came out. Major health problems did. I had no idea back then that my body was telling me to stop. My body still tells me to stop after 35 years. Now I am listening. And now these podcasts make sense as I understand and am aware of triggers that can and have determined the course of my life on so many occasions. Much to my shame, for which neither I nor anyone else was available to eleviate. So well hidden because such shame is terrifying. It tells us that we have no value at all. And the comfort we need is so huge and that need only one more source of shame. So I was locked out of my life. And still I found avenues to go down that had a lot of meaning. Of course those safe paths were in helping others. Until I couldn't. After so many years I understand your vocabulary. I asked myself this morning about the trigger I experienced yesterday when a helper canceled. I got lost in scrolling shorts in response to the trigger. I forgave myself but thought that I need to understand how to handle such triggers and ended up at one of your best podcasts. (someone called it that). These podcasts will help with my triggers. I'm grateful. I have the beliefs you share but the practices you introduce are exactly what I needed to find right now. Although awareness of feelings of helplessness and panic are so hard not to run from! This is CPTSD. The memories are all in fragments and maybe that´s as it should be. I believe that being more connected to myself, and practicing self compassion are the key. I choose a spiritual practice for healing. I know what returning home to myself feels like. I know that being moved often takes me home. I know that not feeling safe is an old prison that I need to be free of.

[@sarahmcallister2282]

I deeply relate to everything you have said. I hope you find some comfort in that, in that sense those of us who feel alone are not alone I guess. We share our pain but also our willingness to heal from it. I found this video 2 weeks ago too. I was at crisis point. The short RAIN prayer at the end of episode 2 saved me...I think...I hope 🙏 sending peace to you. And gratitude to Tara x

“Addiction is not a choice that anybody makes; it’s not a moral failure; it’s not an ethical lapse; it’s not a weakness of character; it’s not a failure of will, which is how our society depicts addiction. Nor is it an inherited brain disease, which is how our medical tendency is to see it. What it actually is: it’s a response to human suffering, and all these people that I worked with had been serially traumatized as children. All the women had been sexually abused. All the men had been traumatized, some of them sexually, physically, emotionally neglected. And not only is that my perspective, it’s also what the scientific and research literature show. So addiction then, rather than being a disease as such or a human choice, it’s an attempt to escape suffering temporarily.” - Dr Gabor Maté

[@reb6109]

YES!! I love his work! I think that's a really important distinction that I don't think a lot of folks get. And that's why there is so much shame. So many addicts think its me there is something inherently flawed about me that I can't stop. I really love the work of Laura Mckowen who is a sober writer and author of We are the Luckiest and Push of From Here. Thank you❤

[@psjuxuen2064]

Thank you for understanding.

[@kernowarty]

I was told by a spiritual teacher that if we only knew how full the Universe is with unseen beings we would never feel lonely. We think in a limited three dimensional way, but the fact is we are surrounded by spirit guides and guardian angels and a myriad of nature spirits. Also, there are many dimensions and aspects of ourselves who are communicating with us on subtle plains. We are never alone.

[@amyvictoriamcewen3615]

😊Lovely Thoughts. I will try to remember these. Thank you.

[@Padraigp]

And yet all are one so technically we are only alone and split up.

[@moringaottawa]

That’s right. I feel there are tools to bring us closer to the energy presently unseen by us - like having photos of your loved ones above your head. I feel bonded 1:32

[@raphmahrez1271]

Being lonely is also a feeling. The fact that they may be billions in this universe won’t change anything. We are already billions on this planet and still most people feel lonely.

So many people think of the material third dimension and these meat suits as all there is. Truly spiritual people never feel lonely

I am a many year follower. Thousands of dollars in prescription drugs and sessions with therapist’s office brought no relief to me and my tortured obsessed soul. I say this with true conviction my obsession with finding help led me to frantically scouring the internet for answers to relief from my plague of anxiety, worry, and negative thoughts. I found individuals like you - especially - that give me the hope I can handle the darkness someday. Thank you.

[@youarewhatyourelookingfor4496]

Perhaps just realize you’re not the mind. You’re the ever present, always and already here audience of the mind. You are the awareness of the mind. This helped me all the way. It is the last answer for me after a very similar experience. Suicidal thoughts, depression and horrible anxiety for 40 years. Been to therapy, used medications etc etc. Today I use a dedicated consistent meditation practice, I have a therapist I use when needed, a good support system in 12 step and I understand that I am not the mind. The mind is an activity like breathing. Im not the thinker just like I don’t “do” breathing. I am being breathed by life, we all are. Im not the thinker although I can employ my mind to think. It is my servant, not my master anymore. Bless you. ❤ I hope you find this helpful and come to understanding. You are love itself. Don’t believe your mind! ❤

[@peacefulisland67]

Not knowing my place in the world or having the opportunity to practice it, results in being more susceptible to negative, empty addiction (compulsion). People who live fully conscious of how integral they are to existence, with humility don't lose themselves randomly. I am a stone in the river of life. No more, no less. Thank you for helping all of us find ways to feel connected and have hope.

This was amazing. A few days ago I saw the video and turned it off off within minutes. I didn’t believe that I had any addictions to look at. Yesterday I returned to it and it really resonated. Last night I had a revelation around hiding my eating habits just as I was sneaking a snack, hiding it and feeling shame.I’ve done this for years. I told my husband and he had no idea. I felt such deep shame while I talked to him. It didn’t crush me. He listened and was so loving and supportive as usually. I was living a small hell and was not aware of how it affected me. Today a whole new revelation opened about my beliefs about others and my “role” in their lives. I see the way I make myself a point of attention. It’s as though I’m recuperating the bits and fragments of myself that I projected. Tara I am so grateful to you for your teachings, your kindness and such genuine and generous honesty. Thank you 🙏❣️

[@highvibefreqzshow5967]

There is no greater addiction than constantly focusing on the I and it’s needs including the need to accept it and transcend it is all of the mind’s doing. I is the mind, it’s not you. Your entrapment to the ego is of the mind and the freeing of it, is still the mind. Who sees the I? Does this one need to do anything to be free and beyond the “me” mind and all its forms of entertainment?

[@timothygrayson]

When my father died I had a break down and found myself hospitalised. Took a little time to recover but the pain remains. Came back to my home town soon after and retrained in mental health work. Things went really well for 11 years but my breakdown happened again after being attacked by a gang. The police took me to a refuge where eventually I applied for euthanasia in Belgium. Got attacked by a Iraqi street gang in Brussels but survived to return to London after getting help from the British Consulate. I'm 61 and after 3 attempts on my life I now want to move to Lithuania to visit family. Life throws so much shit at you that only mental strength can enable survival. Hope it does not happen to anyone else for life in the UK is perturbing. Gangland, drug dealing and child prostitution racket gangs seem to be holding the elderly and disabled in ransom to extort money from the vulnerable. I've always been a Christian and my faith does help when managing stress. Sick of criminal gangs where the authorities seem overwhelmed. The aged and disabled are now targeted by gangs often because we have an income and a home. Work is normality for me but success brings a jealous reaction from others who use crime as a career and ironically are socially accepted by a terrorised public who fear retribution from gangs. Never want to experience the UK again it is a sick place and can't see any future here. Think this lady has a good understanding of modernity and the repercussions of working in a jobless community.

[@bellb475]

I have battled with addictions to multiple substances, most of them being legal, throughout my entire existence. I was introduced to alcohol by my mother at age 14, and I immediately knew that alcohol was the answer for me, it allowed me to be around people without feeling the intense social anxiety that I struggle with still to this day, at fifty~one. But at age 21, I checked self into the detox ward at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville, TN, because at that point I was drinking daily, and I also didn't have anywhere to go, living on the streets, and their alcohol detox consisted then of merely 5-7 days inpatient, so they helped me find halfway house all the way in Fort Smith, AR, then found out I was pregnant, so I went to a sober living home there, and was doing wonderful, until I met my late husband at an NA meeting, no less lol! At the time, both of us were sober, but after a few months of us drinking and smoking weed together, I was kicked out of the home for staying out all night. So after we moved in together, of course the using grew worse, and one day he asked me if I wanted to try heroin, which was his drug of choice, and I freaked out saying no way, I had only drank alcohol and smoked weed up to this point, but he said i wouldn't have to use a syringe, so I agreed to try it, and bought some with the $ I received as compensation for giving the daughter I gave birth to to a couple that I knew could give her what she needed. Well, I feel IN LOVE, and can still remember to this day how amazing it felt, about 15min after I snorted a line, it started at the base of my neck, and went all the way down my spine, alleviating all physical pain, then I started to feel the euphoria of it emotionally and mentally, and I felt like a little child again, it was a BEAUTIFUL experience, but it didn't last long. I was only 22 when I first tried any opiate, and of course, I had to go for the strongest most deadly one out here, but this led to a LIFETIME of chasing that high. I did heroin from 22-29, then went to a Methadone clinic, because I wanted off the heroin so bad/didn't know what else to do. So I was on 120mg of Methadone from year 2000 to the year after addiction TOOK MY BEAUTIFUL SOUL of a MOTHER from me, and a couple of years into my BATTLE with it, my PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN, not even a psychiatrist, KNEW I was taking 120mg of Methadone, proceeded to prescribe me THREE 2MG XANAX BARS per DAY, which is a DEATH SENTENCE in my humble opinion, this combination has killed quite a few people I love. Anyway, I of course became addicted to both substances, and did not know whom to turn to, or where to go for help, so I got d8wn on my hands/knees one night in my bathroom floor and BEGGED God to PLEASE REMOVE ANY DESIRE for Methadone or xanax I had, then I found a great inpatient rehab a few weeks later, checked in, stayed over 30 days. I haven't touched Methadone since, but have dipped into xanax here and there. Now, I have been taking prescription Suboxone for the past nine years, but at least it has kept me away from all other opiates, and I've now been clean from any benzos also for over six months now. I sure do WISH I could BE SET FREE from ALL prescription POISONS, but at this point, honestly, I have lost hope in ever being able to FREE MYSELF from all these drugs they've had me on my entire existence, and yes, I refer to "life" as existence, because I have never once experienced LIFE, I've always just existed, barely keeping head above water/in fight or flight for over 40 YEARS would take a toll on anyone. Sorry this is so long. I don't really even know why I went into this much detail, but I do hope that me sharing so openly like this will somehow help someone(s). Sending out SO V³RY MUCH L6Ve, POSITive/HEALing eNERgies, and the LIGHT of protectI0N UNd TRANSformatI9N, AlWAYsss!!!

Thank you so much for this. I think it’s all just fueling the lie we live in. We must remember who we are as Source if we are to stop reaching for things outside of the self (aka love, fulfillment, freedom, satisfaction), “looking for love in all the wrong places” as Abraham hicks says… the only way to find security or love in a reliable way is to find it from where it comes from. Your source within 🕊️❤️ much love thank you so much for your presence on here
