After decades of fight, flight freeze, avoidance and terror, I decided to be with it all as it is - as the Buddha instructed. I am seeing progress, still freezing but refusing to find cheap ways to cope, instead, trusting Tara and others who care about humanity. Thank you.
Tara, thank you so deeply for your insights, talks, guidance, and wisdom. The other night I woke up from a nightmare. In my dream, our house was filling with water so quickly there was nothing anyone could do to prevent it, everything was being destroyed, the water was moving quickly getting higher and higher, and my fear was that my daughter in her room next to me would not be able to get out. I woke me up in terror, feeling like I wanted to scream. I felt the immense fear and then took a step back consciously. I've been practicing meditation since I was 18. I am 50 currently. This practice helped me move into observation and out of the reaction. Then your words came into my mind so clearly: "This belongs". I consciously allowed the feelings, the experience of the fear, and let them be. I said to them, 'You are Welcome Here." This act of radical allowing let me calm down. I started to regulate and went back to sleep. I totally forgot about it until now. I am so deeply grateful for your teachings, honestly, you are one of my life heroes. Thank you for your amazing contributions to humanity. Thank you.
Tara, thank you. I've been finding myself in fear off and on over the last month. Looming human issues. I have always read and watched your talks but I've been really clinging to them lately to remind myself of what I already thought I knew. I am grateful for you and your willingness to be available to share your wisdom. ❤️
Hi tara am doing my best to sit with fear. Today iv had fear sadness frustrated Angry and suicidal thoughts it was so hard to sit with all this I ended up crying most of the day.. I will remember to pause bring kindness in and do my best to sit with it. I would love to be able to sit with every thing that arises the I'd have freedom Thank you tara For your wisdom and humour Peace love and light xx
Fear has controlled me my whole life.. it made me quit everything.. karate.. baseball.. school.. swimming..college.. relationships... jobs... on the other hand .. I never started alot too.. im so defeated.... afraid and tortured.. I have no idea what to do cause now I am plagued with chronic illness.. I missed out on so much and I actually wonder if I am the cause of the disease I have.. pushing myself to run from everything... I dont know how I will go on
Oh, Michael, I am so sorry. There is no point in regretting what was -that's just beating yourself up. I've experienced intense fear & anxiety--it stops us cold & is incredibly hard to overcome. Desensitization works. Little pushes into the unfamiliar. Repeatedly. So you get familiar with it. That builds confidence-a template for how you can change. Your body got used to being scared. It needs to get used to being okay--that'll take time. You are pinching yourself off from life--I know you know that. Baby steps...You deserve more & you hold the key. Do one little thing today. Big pat on the back. Do it again & again & again until it is laughably easy.....There's a world of us out here struggling to push past our fears, Michael. I wish you a world of joy ahead......
You can be free. If you can incorporate tools to reset your nervous system...that is the foundational step. Every day, do something that calms your nervous system. Emotional regulation techniques. Yoga with Adriene is one of many things that can help. That type of breathing, takes a person out of fight/flight (sympathetic) and helps them get into parasympathetic (rest and digest). The movement and breath of yoga can help move, process, some of the fear and trauma out, as well. You can reprogram your subconscious, so it doesn't see everything through an automatic fear filter too. Day by day. Radical compassion for yourself, for where you are, is so key. To accept and not berate oneself, helps a greta deal. It gives space to make new decisions, but without pressure and shame. I wish you deep healing
@Lys D ty I am fighting the good fight.. sooo hard.. I just passed a direct support test and want to help others to help myself.. ty u r a beautiful person
Fear has been a dominant emotion and imposes difficulty in my life. Thank you so much for the video that helped me to expand my capabilities to sit with it and allow it.
Any fellow anxiety folks who get fear of fear? Fear that the physical fear you are feeling is going to cause a heart attack etc? So there's the original fear with more fear on top. Awful
Tara Brach- I wanted to thank you. You help me so much with my inner emotional work. The existence of which I hadn't known before. Often I got so sleepy because of the intense work that I just fell asleep. It shows that there is much work to do and that your courses are good sleeping aids for needy people like me;). Namaste.
I deleted an old friend off Facebook. I feared doing it for years. I wanted to make room in my life and move on. I know that people move on as well. I’ve been afraid that people I hold dear won’t remember me.

Try ajahn brahma BSWA dharma talks. He's very good. Like tara too. She's so gentle

This is so appropriate for what’s going on in the world today with the corona virus. Thank you!
So kind of you to be such a blessing
Thank you for your kindness and compassion

So kind of you.
The correct quote from AA is "God's Will, non mine shall be done" NOT "Heart's will..." , which makes no sense at all. I know that's hard to hear
I feel you. Gods in our hearts, but are hearts are not God. True. But to followers of oneness believe there is no separation between the two..
