- 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.

With thanks and love, Tara
Thank you so much. My partner has cancer and I am exhausted from surgeries, appointments, etc. I have to go food shopping today. The cupboard is bare. Woke with a screaming headache. The story of the old man & the baby made me weep. My headache is gone. A gift of recognition It’s ok to cry. Thank you.
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.
♥️
To understand is to forgive.
Radical Acceptance…I must read Tara Brach’s book!💓
I Love Your Beautiful Message!
Thank You 🙏 NAMASTE
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.
Damn! I got it wrong! I was practicing 'Rage. Agitate. Internalize. Numb." for years!!! 😫😩
Tara Brach quote highlights from this video: “In any moment that we truly aren't resisting-that we're truly opening to the life of the moment-we have the capacity to love more fully and to realize that this mystery, this vastness, that's really what we are.”
“The gift of meditation, of training in presence, is that it really allows our body and mind to be in the same place at the same time.”
“The Buddha said that the great suffering we experience is not realizing the truth of who we are, our true nature, and being caught up in an identification with a small, limited self.”
“We get identified with the covering, we think we're the covering-that controlling, promoting self-and we forget who's looking through. We forget the tender awake heart, the awareness that's looking through.”
“The essence of all sickness is homesickness. There's a suffering when we leave home. We forget what we really belong to-that aliveness and awareness and loving-we forget who we are.”
“We think we have our own views, but we're not thinking our own thoughts. We're thinking society's thoughts.”
“We try to judge ourselves into being a better person. We try to fix ourselves through judgment.”
“No amount of accomplishing, no amount of judging, actually helps us to contact experience and trust our goodness.”
“The path to realizing who we are and living from that freedom … is learning to bring radical acceptance and unconditional compassionate presence to the experience of the moment.”
“As Carl Rogers put it, ‘It wasn't until I accepted myself just as I was that I was free to change.’ In other words, the prerequisite for true transformation and healing is this radical acceptance, this presence and kindness, with what's right here.”
“Notice this tender presence that's more the truth of who you are than any limiting story or belief. The more you trust this, the more freedom, creativity, love, aliveness you'll find in your life.”
RAIN Meditation:
”What RAIN does when we offer ourselves attention, and when we bring in that nurturing, is a kind of spiritual re-parenting. We're bringing the presence and kindness we need to heal.”
Recognize: See what's here. Name it.
Allow: Allow it to be here, not to fight it, not to judge it, just let be.
Investigate: Deepen the inquiry into the body and feel what's here. Contact it.
Nurture: Bring kindness to what we find. When we do that, we experience what's called ‘after the RAIN’ which means we start opening to our natural being.
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.
Tara is beautiful, inside and out 🙏
Muchas gracias mujer tu mensaje me llega claro y profundo. Necesitamos recordar para conectar de nuevo con la vida. Tus ojos me lo dicen todo
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.
I can't believe I'm at a point where such content is shown on my TH-cam page you speak with so much peace and calm thank you for this depth of work
I love this woman ❤️
Thank you. I consider myself so fortunate to be have Tara’s loving guidance in my life.
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 TH-cam. 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.
I agree. I have the same experience with CBT and trauma, and Tara has really shown me something no therapist have. Sending you love!
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.
Find someone trained in Peter Levine’s work
It has been discovered that DBT is better for people who have been traumatized and uses the richness of mindfulness and Buddhism.
@@joywalkertalks Peter Levine is awesome.
My heart thanks you for your generosity of spirit. Blessings
Tears after the old man and Eric story. The emotions that came out of me were astounding.
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?
@@dzzzzzt the first
@@cassandro9445 So that intuition was right. Thank you!
@@dzzzzzt namaste 🌸✨
Thank you so much Tara🙏🏻❤️
Me too . Life feels like a pilgrimage with Tara ,Jack Cornfield and Rick Hanson too . Such daily riches- am so grateful for their free offerings ,spanning 6 years now .
*Kornfield
You have such a beautiful, calming aura and spirit. Please pray for me and send positive vibes my way as I am struggling to get my business up and running.
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 🙏
This is beautiful. Thank you so much
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!
I have long covid and I find it super hard to adjust. Thank you for this post.
Me too ❤3.5 years I hope this helps us both.
Have read Tara’s book several times and meditated with her for years. But today lying in bed with a migraine I am hearing something new for the first time. I do blame myself for my pain but I also know I can trust my goodness. Am in tears. Thank you ❤
Bless you Patricia ❤

I love that I can come back to your teachings and practice again and again and hear something new. And also deepen my understanding of what you’ve already given me, a path back to myself as I am; with a compass for my future. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your wisdom. Every time I listen to you I always gain insight and help me arrive home and help me get out of my “trance of unworthiness “and thoughts that there is something wrong with me. Thank you for helping me love and accept myself in a more kinder and loving way. What a blessing you are to the world!
I discovered Tara 4 years back. You exude so much calmness and wisdom and have become one of my gurus along with John Kabat Zinn, and Dave Potter. Namaste and gratitude from India!
Thank you. Your books, your talks and your kindness make a huge difference in our world.
So beautiful, in and out. Thank you for these healing messages, very timely for me. 💚🙏🏼🌼✨
Tara, Thank You! YOU gift me Joyous Healings and Open Heart Full Learnings and Understandings.
🌈💕🌻
There was a point where i mastered this principle and it sent me into another realm of reality.. The world is not what we've made it out to be...
Your talks have been a gift in my life.
Such a special way of communicating the truth. Now the recognition of that in myself is where I hope to dwell to find freedom from this thinking mind
Wow! So powerful. Tears abound. What a gift of teaching and compassion you share. 🙏🏼❤️
@Tim Ferris @Gabor Maté listened to you speak on this book years ago with Marie Forleo. Incredibly Grateful for that. So much good came from finding these teachings and your voices. Listened to you both mention it again. Thought I would share with you
Thank you 🙏🏽 All of you for your work ❤
Wow, thank you and God bless you. An hour before I found this latest video offering, I was speaking with a friend who was suffering. Every word of our conversation was met and addressed by this wise message and I’m passing it on now.
Thank you.
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏🏽
Crying with you about the baby Eric and Old Man story. Wow. My heart…🙏🏾💜
Thank you for all you do for us, dear Tara. I am so grateful for your wisdom and love. Your work has changed my life. Blessings to you and to all beings.
Tara, sitting here in my little corner in Motown, listening intently, thank you so much, good day.
I always feel better listening to your talk.
Namaste 🙏
Your “Radical” books and these meditations/talks are helping me out of a lifetime of the trance of unworthiness. I’d like to add that sometimes we fall into a narcissistic trance of special worthiness too though 🙏 thank you for helping me feel human
This video is just what I needed to hear today, and probably will watch again.. so very touching ..🙏😇
Love the short stories you use to illustrate and get across the meaning and message of your wisdom.
That was so beautiful touched my heart so deeply I look like a mess but I now my gold you reminded me again and I can feel that with all by being, thank you Tara for this amazing work 🙏❤
Remembers the infinitely loving perfect One now also as this awareness:
"Pleasant or unpleasant, morally approved or disapproved of by My conscience, also this experience was I beforehand willing to have, that also this and everyone's soul would have My happiness."💗
I have body dysmorphic disorder since my teens which started after school kids began calling me ugly. I am in my 50s and I loathe myself, my internal voice telling me nonstop I am unattractive and this is why I have never had a life partner, that I'm not good enough. I wish I had not been born to suffer with this mental illness that makes me believe I truly am unattractive and as a result have had to be on my own, watching other people getting married, being happy, having children. It is so difficult to feel that you are not attractive enough to find a life partner so must go through this world always feeling rejected.
I bought the Radical Acceptance audiobook and it's the closest I've ever got to spiritual teachings relating to actual living. It's really practical. Thank you Tara. 🙂
Thank you Tara. Such a beautiful message. I will come back to this often. Namaste❤️
Radical openness & radical transperanncy
TARA BRACH ROCKS MY WORLD! Tara, you keep us all sane. Thank you for your offerings and for your light and love. You are changing the world. NAMASTE GIRL!
I can do most of the things Tara listed : I can relax my tension without a sleeping pill, I had insomnia and I healed that with mental exercises, I figure out methods to heal my body without white man' s medicine. And I am not a dog. Neither are you the only being worthy of being.called.human. You enriched yourself learning from.another culture.
❤thank you

Thank you! Beautiful presentation!
My prayers for you.
Just accept what it is.close the cycle...start peace with what you got
Are you planning on recording this 20yr edition for Audible? I’m sure it’s a huge endeavor especially when it already exists w/ a different narrator so it might not seem necessary.
the only reason I haven’t purchased it is because it’s not in your physical voice - which is maybe silly & selfish but your voice is so known & gives so much peace to me & so many. I don’t tend to purchase unless they are in the authors voice. So Just in case it’s up for a vote - I’m a yes please!!
Lovely
'It's speaking English that kills you' - too funny 😁
Thank you Tara. ❤️🙏
