More quotes by Tara Brach

Tara Brach

Tara Brach

Tara Brach

Tara Brach
The boundary to what we can accept is the boundary to our freedom.
Tara Brach
We are mindful of desire when we experience it with an embodied awareness, recognizing the sensations and thoughts of wanting as arising and passing phenomena. While this isn't easy, as we cultivate the clear seeing and compassion of Radical Acceptance, we discover we can open fully to this natural force, and remain free in its midst.
Tara Brach
By regarding ourselves with kindness, we begin to dissolve the identity of an isolated, deficient self. This creates the grounds for including others in an unconditionally loving heart.
Tara Brach
Along with judging myself harshly, I'd also always seen the truth of goodness in me.
Tara Brach
There are stories we take on from our culture, and there are stories based on our own personal history. Some of those stories lock us in limiting beliefs and lead to suffering, and there are others that can move us toward freedom.
Tara Brach
There is so much division in this world. So what is really the path of healing? It can begin in this moment, by embracing the life that`s here.
Tara Brach
As I noticed feelings and thoughts appear and disappear, it became increasingly clear that they were just coming and going on their own. . . . There was no sense of a self owning them.
