Radical Acceptance: Our Gateway to Love and Freedom, with Tara Brach

Radical Acceptance: Our Gateway to Love and Freedom, with Tara Brach [2022-09-21]
Our capacity to realize the truth of who we are and to love fully, arises from moments of true acceptance. This means meeting our unfolding life with an unconditional, open and tender presence. This talk on Radical Acceptance explores how the trance of unworthiness contracts us away from presence, and how activating mindfulness and self-compassion with RAIN loosens the grip of self-aversion and awakens our hearts.

Damn! I got it wrong! I was practicing 'Rage. Agitate. Internalize. Numb." for years!!! 😫😩

[@shivanthikulasingham6131]

I read Tara Brach's book, Radical Acceptance years ago, at the suggestion of a therapist. That book changed my life, and my relationship with pain and dealing with uncomfortable feelings. I have re-read the book, I can't say how many times now. It sits on my night stand, with highlighted sections, notes written on the margin, and much underlining. I will spend the rest of my life re-reading and referring to it to as a guide. For anyone who has not read this book yet, I humbly and highly recommend it. It had a profound impact on my life, and continues to years later. I appreciated this 39 minute video with the RAIN meditation. Tara's words are wise, insightful, authentic, and compassionate. I needed this video, today, in this moment. I am grateful to you and your many life lessons, Tara.

This message from Tara is so helpful to me at age 84. You are never too old to learn and be happier. Thank you from my heart, Tara.

[@paperprincess1050]

We can often think we are not worthy because someone in our lives has been telling us that or treating us like that over and over again unill we are programmed to believe it and it takes a lot to unprogramme ourselves from that.

[@lindyn4]

I can't believe I'm at a point where such content is shown on my KZbin page you speak with so much peace and calm thank you for this depth of work

[@ria600]

I don't know why but I really like this lady. Maybe I am old school but I like that she speaks slow and the vibration of her voice, I find it sinks in. Thank you for that.

[@kariarvisais8588]

Dear Tara, I have been learning from you for 4 years now, and each time I hear your life experiences, stories and words if wisdom, I am humbled and honored. Remembering the quote: When the student is ready to learn, the teacher shall appear",Thank you for being my teacher and the world teacher of Radical Acceptance. Namaste 🙏

[@termsofuseist]

I would like to express my gratitude for this teaching. The most beautiful teachings to me are when I find concrete, applicable and eloquent expressions of something I have felt to be true inside myself on and off for a while, but haven't had the wisdom and clarity to distill as beautifully. This is just so: I notice how often I run away from my unpleasant self-conceptions. How I wish I hadn't rushed toward emotional relief but sat with that for a moment to truly connect with it and accept myself and gain insight. I feel fortunate to see in this video a mirroring of my lived experience with such kindness and clarity. Thank you!

[@madeleineminns1211]

Thank you. I consider myself so fortunate to be have Tara’s loving guidance in my life.

Tears after the old man and Eric story. The emotions that came out of me were astounding.

[@dzzzzzt]

Can you explain to me, because I couldn't understand well, what she meant at the end by saying "Lord, forgive me."? Did she wanted forgiveness for feeling afraid and digusted by the old man and judged herself for that, or for risking her son by giving him to a stranger?

[@levihan3777]

I find this way better therapy than what any therapist has ever given me. I’m seeing my sixth therapist in 11 years, and not one of them have given me anything like you have on KZbin. I found that the therapists keep trying to do CBT when I tell them that it hasn’t been helpful for my trauma. CBT just makes me overanalyze all of my thoughts. It never tells me to pause. To do techniques such as RAIN. Everything I have learned from your videos and your book “Radical Acceptance” has shifted my perspective more in two years than CBT in 11.

[@rovingrhea]

I agree. I have the same experience with CBT and trauma, and Tara has really shown me something no therapist have. Sending you love!

[@Alphacentauri819]

Unfortunately, traditional trauma can be retraumatizing, programming the trauma further...as our subconscious mind is programmed through repetition+emotion. If we haven't learned emotional/nervous system regulation and integrated it in a daily way....our talking about our story and try to only do some techniques without addressing this dysregulation, can be worse than no therapy, for some people. Learning mindfulness, presence, the breathing of meditation and yoga (which helps our parasympathetic system get online, are all foundational to healing. Most of us are in some state of almost continual sympathetic nervous system activation, and traditional therapy only exacerbates that. I hope, that more therapists learn tools, skills, to teach, that focus on emotional regulation, calming, as the primary goal & other therapy can follow (very individual of course) after the work of emotional regulation is more part of the person's daily life.
