Tara Brach: Sheltering in Love, Part VI - Loneliness as a Portal to Sacred Presence (Part 2 of 2)

[@delysiacowley8640]

After each session she makes eye contact, then, there's that big, big smile that enfolds all of our human frailties,, I smile back, she bids fair well as to a friend, & I feel blessed and not so alone... Thank you Tara

[@Paseosinperro]

I was feeling really lonely and this video made open my heart and burst into tears. Thanks Tara!

Tara.... 3 days ago I drove my 22 year-old granddaughter to the airport. She is moving out of my home and to the other side of the U.S. I will miss her so much. I am 73 years-old and I do not want to suffer lonliness. Thank you for this vital teaching. I have put it into my favorites so that I may call upon it again, if needed. Sending you love. Diana

[@richardedward123]

Many have tried to teach me fear and hate. "Us versus them." I finally have someone in my life who teaches me compassion. Thanks Tara.

The poem She just let go moved me to tears. I have been trying to navigate my life for the last 6 years with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease. My pain therapist suggested I listen to you and Ive listened to everything you’ve done on utube. It is profound - it is life changing and your wisdom has changed my life dramatically for the better. I’m so grateful for your teachings, your humor and your awesome meditations. Bless you - Sandy

[@carriestefani9278]

I too “had” been living with an undiagnosed ai - at 45 I was diagnosed with hashimotos - went gf I take numerous supplements - cortisol manager, liquid d3 drops, adrenal support, mg, vit b 6 & 12 I eat (1) Brazil nut a day for selenium, spray mg on the top of my feet at bed. Doing all this cleared up many symptoms - there’s 300! If u haven’t, go GF it made a huge difference - drink organic bone broth in the morning to help heal your gut. Good luck I know how it feels not to have any answers. Find a functional medicine Dr. too if you can. ♥️

[@johndrury5058]

Greetings from Yorkshire Sandy. I was about to make a suggestion re your health when I saw the following person had beat me to it: go gluten free if you haven't, cut out alcohol and see a functional doctor. Best wishes John

[@sandraklatt7610]

John Drury my primary care doctor suggested functional medicine and I’ve never tried gluten free. Thank you for the suggestions.

[@heatherhowell241]

Thank uou Tara, for explaining a way to acknowledge our inherent separation while easing the pain thru intentional social and inclusive actions. A gentle remediation to the Truths of Buddhism. H💛

14:20 Scanning the pathway from ‘I’ to ‘We’ to discover true belonging...we are offered keys on how we might nurture...though it may be difficult and require much time...This is indeed my medicine. Now I understand just how long and winding this journey of healing really could be. And that with the loving support that is available, it is alright and it is okay to go further down this difficult road. Thank you Tara for holding the space for us. For caring so deeply and illuminating so clearly the underlying pervasive suffering of loneliness and the way out.

[@Be12397]

“The ‘I’ of illness and the ‘we’ in wellness.” So very true.

[@sharoncorbett4215]

Thanks for your wisdom 🙏.. I said goodbye to my beautiful dog this week, and he kept me from feeling lonely and I met people whilst out walking him. After listening, I feel grateful for having him my life and I know the pain of his passing 💔 will ease in time. Thankyou and love to all xx 🌻

[@loupalme8199]

I am so grateful for your beautiful lessons, feels like a big hug, thank you Tara

[@Mslivibivi]

I really loved this this morning here in France , you make loneliness understandable and therefore easier to deal with .

[@margaretdoyle9389]

Thank you so much, my heart melts in your beautiful presence, albeit virtual. Deeply grateful.

[@maryanne2772]

My heart broke open listening to this. The “I” of me longs to belong, often in a way that distances me from the “we” of being that already belongs to each of us. Thank you for the reminders, and for pushing me - without force - to go deeper into the being of my pain. I am afraid to belong, when I am honest with myself. And yet, I keep searching for it and finding safety in it. Why do I make it so hard?? I keep coming back to the layers of this particular week of your offerings, knowing how lonely I am - even while doing what I can to be a giver . . . more than a taker. Thank you for the love required to convey the messages you do, in such nonjudgmental ways. I was about to turn this off for the night, feeling exhausted from work, when you mentioned Terry Tempest Williams. She is my very favorite local author, and I have had the privilege of being taught by her in person. She also grew up in the same neighborhood as me, and her writings often resonate with me, in large part due to geographical and cultural similarities. Anyway, I really needed that reference to her in that moment you shared it. It is part of my real belief in our shared belonging. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@jimr692004]

I feel so grateful for your teachings it seems one of the only ones that touch my heart in the way that it does. Thank you! 💛🙏🏼💛

[@kimtaylor9096]

🙏 you have touched me very definitely, very deeply. So beautiful. Thank you.

[@johannelevacdoyle8163]

Dear Tara, thank you for all that you do, relating totally to this talk, and yes, it is such a good feeling smiling to complete strangers and getting a smile back, feeling the connection as human beings that we all need the love and to give love. And thank you for all the loving kindness that you give us🥰🙏

[@galinalewis8947]

Thank you Tara for these beautiful lessons. your voice, your words, your caring and compassion touch me deeply. I sincerely thank you and pray for you to be blessed for your sharing and teaching of so much wisdom....

Thank you for this teaching Tara, just extraordinary... so very grateful to you 🧡

[@jellyroll2512]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Your words brought me to a much much deeper understanding of loneliness. I see a way out that was not there before hearing you. I am forever grateful.

I do rain thanks to a women who told me she listens to you since last Thursday

[@karyndee]

I went to look at an apartment today, the conversation was the root to helping me release prison of self.more than the place..during pandemic..westchester.ny.

[@misss827]

Extra friendliness is really hard, because I turn away from them, especially if they ignore the distance. And there are many of them.

Thank y💖u

Your cadence is hypnotic... you should train folks to be patience with their words. That's all a magic spell is... we have to spell it then pronounce it... but pronunciation is the key ... put the magic spell of health and empowerment on everyone. Meditation and trance to healing.

[@kernowarty]

I have always felt uncomfortable, confused and unable to relax and think straight in the company of other people. I actually only feel at ease and at peace on my own. Is that wrong? I have often thought deeply about this and I honestly do not feel lonely.

[@mattr.h.3472]

I am so lonely. I feel so disconnected. I live in so much loneness. I think being alone can make you feel sick in Anxiety

[@flatgash]

I have a question and I don’t know who else to ask. I’ve started meditating but I’m having trouble conceptualising what I’m doing. I think I understand that meditation is a process of letting go of thoughts, not running with them or letting them run on, just acknowledging them and letting go. Ok. But...thoughts arise from synapses firing in the brain between neurones right? So when I wilfully ‘let go’ of them, that firing process is halted. Cool. And yet my mind which says ‘let go’ arises out of the firing of synapses also. So...do I have two minds? How can my mind stop my mind or be aware of itself? I feel like I’m trying to understand how I can pull myself up by my own bootlaces!!

[@misss827]

"Thought-Thought". Acknowledge it. And then continue. You are already mindful by being aware of it. I would recommend to listen to her " Rain" Talks.
