Rewiring for Happiness and Freedom I, with Tara Brach

Rewiring for Happiness and Freedom I, with Tara Brach [originally published on 2018-10-10]
The Buddha said, “I would not be teaching this (a path of awakening) if genuine happiness and freedom were not possible.” While this is our potential, we each have deep conditioning to get stuck in feelings of fear, deficiency and separation from others. These talks explore the two interdependent pathways of undoing the conditioning that blocks our potential. In Part I we will look at how we can intentionally arouse states of wellbeing, and with practice, develop them into ongoing traits that bring presence and joy to our lives.

Thank you for all you do. I really appreciate all your teachings on positive psychology. I miss listening to lectures like this. GOD bless you in all you do in JESUS' name amen.❤️🙏🙌

This is beautiful on so many levels!! I’m so grateful for YOU!

[@heatherwall9571]

I’ve felt that “happy for no reason “…it’s deeply connected to your wholeness and the divine. 🥰🙏💗. Unconditional love is the best and truest feeling in the world. I only found that after a lifetime of emotional pain…some caused by me, some not. Deep inner work was needed. 💗🙏💗

[@graceverssen5651]

Such a lovely and helpful teaching. I like so much Tara has communicated here but right now one thing standing out is that we practice gladdening the mind as an act of re-balancing because of our inbuilt negativity bias. This makes sense to me. As a psychologist I really believe in metabolising our negative experiences, rather than repressing them. Now I see it's just as important to metabolise our positive experiences more fully too. Sometimes I come to meditation with anxiety and many thoughts of what is wrong in my world. As I relax in meditation, I am often reminded of some wonderful thing that happened during the day that I would not have savoured had it not been for meditation. Meditation itself can often be a great re-balancer for my fears. ❣️🌺❣️

[@maggieadams8600]

I felt reasonably content before listening to this, but now it's magnified and guided to feeling it, wanting it for others; this is the real change our world so desperately needs, as ever, thank you!

Hello

[@deirdrewhelan1787]

I was jarred out of your talk when you said iPhone, not phone, sounds like an imbedded ad. Please be aware of this. I appreciate your talks very much.

[@ovr.lighting]

She's critiquing the iPhone, not selling it.

[@simonar6492]

This is such spiritual wisdom but your ego is trying to point out an insignificant thing and ignore the rest of 99% of the beautiful speach?

[@eaclest]

Tara just told me, she bought à Samsung s22 😊

[@Rain9Quinn]

How we feel when our minds focus on 1 thing or on something else-the message in her lecture…❤
