Thank you, Tara. I've been sober and clean since September of 2018, one month before my 60th birthday, after 45 years of alcoholism, enough of it "functional", that I am able to collect social security, but with constant misery for the entire time. Starting with AA, then turning to Zen Buddhism for my spiritual health, I'm much less well off financially, and the happiest I have ever been. Between the videos of Thich Nhat Hahn, Pema Chodrun...and you....I am able to live my elder days with;Peace Love Kindness Respect, the more you give the more you get. Start with yourself because you deserve it 🙏💖🙏😉
What a blessing that you have found this emotional serenity. I feel grateful that I was driven to find a way to begin healing after a lifetime of trauma, OCOA damage and all of the stuff that life throws our way. The practice of mindfulness and meditation just makes my recovery process whole. Namaste, dear one.
As I involve in this meditation there is a young man with his faithful and protective dog camping/homeless in the woods a mere 1000-+ feet from my window and it is 8 degrees tonight....and there are many second and third homes sitting vacant~~~Yes, my heart breaks with sorrow and depression~ 😔🙏🏼
I grieve to read your comment. I now care for the dog of the homeless woman that died 1000 feet from my window. The second homes and the governor's wineries not 1000 more feet from my front door. We are a broken world.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
I am free if I don't believe in the most recurring thought as of now; free to be my joyous self, free to love, free to serve. Thank you Tara for lighting up the paths to freedom.
We want to achieve our goals and biggest dreams but the true answer isn't within the achievements the true answer is within our soul and coming back home to our sacred presense ❤ the lost parts of us reconnecting after childhood trauma etc❤ thankyou so much for this tara you healed me when I was at my worst I flipped my lid and I had lost all control ptsd had me tense 247 it was so painful 😢 you are still helping me on this journey sending so much love to you! I will return home to the sacred I felt when I had my spiritual awakening 2 years ago I felt the most powerful electrical feeling I've ever felt in my life if you know you know x
So grateful that this addresses how complex depression is, that social inequality contributes to it so much, and that it needs a multi-faceted approach, while giving us practical examples of how we can help ourselves. Thank you Tara.
I really like the Freudian approach to depression: the disconnection with the present and the desperate will to go back to previous state/situation or an imaginary/idealized one. Your book "Radical Acceptance" is the book I always tell my patients to read. :)

Psilocybe cyanescens, collectible during our current rainy season, changed my mind to a positive outlook whereby I enjoy and appreciate every day.

I was hopeful listening until you said ungrieved loss causes depression. That's BS. I've been crying and lying in bed for a year over my daughter's death. I've tried all day every day to meditate. The meditatative state never comes
I am sorry for your loss. What she said isn’t BS-you are in the middle of the grief process, and grief takes as long as it needs to and changes form and creeps up in different ways. I wouldn’t expect you to heal this grief over her death in only a year, be patient with yourself. Sometimes, lying in bed with depression for a year IS one of the many ways we attempt to move through grief. I know you made this comment months ago, and you may never see this comment, but I hold your process in my heart and I can relate to your experience. I haven’t been the same since my loved one passed 4 years ago. God bless your healing process.

I see people talk about this so much but no one EVER mentions where they source them. Like I would love to try it for my depression but with every single person gatekeeping it seems impossible to get ahold of them.

It's painful to hold the paradoxes of our times. You're not alone.
Have you made contact with this young man? It would be a possibility
Home prices (assets in general) are exorbitant
I grieve to read your comment. I now care for the dog of the homeless woman that died 1000 feet from my window. The second homes and the governor's wineries not 1000 more feet from my front door. We are a broken world.
Go help him

Is he on instagram?
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
How do you get them?
@@kmoran7619 I think you can order mushroom sets to grow yourselve pretty easily online + legal since it is not the grown mushroom
Giving thanks to the beautiful light in Tara 🙏
Many thanks Tara, so much understanding and help on our path to healing in this talk 🙏

Where do you get them?
yes
Wow, did the video just change? There was a meditation at the beginning which is gone now.
She usually separates meditation from teaching after Wed night. An earlier video has both

Grieving the loss of my wife can’t cope.
I don’t have to imagine. I had a plan.
Meditation?
❤❤❤❤
I think this was done several years ago so a repeat.
❤️♥️❤️🩹Tara.

Get a support group for your loss do not expect her to heal grief peace.
