We can find true refuge within our own hearts and minds-right here, right now, in the midst of our moment-to-momen t lives.

Tara Brach
When desire for a certain person's attention becomes an I have to have kind of grasping, then identity gets organized around needing that and it becomes very solid and sticky. That causes suffering because we're not inhabiting the fullness of who we are, we're fixated and contracted on life being a certain way.
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
When we open to love, we become love.

Allowing another to be as they are is more what I think of as space. The space to express yourself and know that you're going to be accepted. That's more where I go than with the actual physical logistics of how much time you have together and how much time you have apart.
Tara Brach

Tara Brach
The main thing going on around intimacy is that we've developed a lot of strategies so we'll be a desirable package.
Tara Brach
The intimacy that arises in listening and speaking truth is only possible if we can open to the vulnerability of our own hearts. Breathing in, contacting the life that is right here, is our first step. Once we have held ourselves with kindness, we can touch others in a vital and healing way.
Tara Brach
We want to be in open, loving communion with each other and our greatest fear is intimacy. That it won't work and we'll be rejected.
Tara Brach
The spiritual path is not a solo endeavor. In fact, the very notion of a self who is trying to free her/ himself is a delusion. We are in it together and the company of spiritual friends helps us realize our interconnectedness.
Tara Brach
Awakening self-compassion is often the greatest challenge people face on the spiritual path.
Tara Brach
We, like the Mother of the World, become the compassionate presence that can hold, with tenderness, the rising and passing waves of suffering.
Tara Brach
In the collective psyche it is being understood... that we can cultivate wisdom and compassion.
Tara Brach
There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying yes to our entire imperfect and messy life.
