More quotes by Tara Brach
In intimate relationships, if we start trying to be more real, it's very scary.
Tara Brach
Offer some gesture of kindness to yourself. Sometimes it's just a message, to say: It's okay. You're going to be okay. We've been through this before. The intention is reassurance, that you are not alone and you can do this. It is the most powerful way to come out of what I call the trance of unworthiness.
Tara Brach
I would say both Western psychology and Eastern paths would recognize that we get caught up in feeling like a separate self and an unworthy self.
Tara Brach
Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns.
Tara Brach
When we're awake in our bodies and sense, the world comes alive. Wisdom, creativity, and love are discovered as we relax and awaken through our bodies.
Tara Brach
Awakening self-compassion is often the greatest challenge people face on the spiritual path.
Tara Brach
There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying yes to our entire imperfect and messy life.
Tara Brach
If I can forgive the attachment in myself and open to the vulnerability that's underneath it, then rather than fixating on another person to satisfy my need, I'm actually going right to where the needs come from and able to bring a real healing.
Tara Brach
Relaxation is the doorway to both wisdom and compassion.
Tara Brach
We wait for things to be different in order to feel okay with life. As long as we keep attaching our happiness to the external events of our lives, which are ever changing, we’ll always be left waiting for it.
Tara Brach
Through the sacred art of pausing, we develop the capacity to stop hiding, to stop running away from our experience. We begin to trust in our natural intelligence, in our naturally wise heart, in our capacity to open to whatever arises.
Tara Brach
I speak a lot about what I call the trance of unworthiness which is really epidemic in our culture, this sense of I'm not enough, or something's wrong with me. Most of us have some level of it because our culture has all these standards (handed down through our families) of what it means to be okay.
Tara Brach
Sometimes the easiest way to appreciate ourselves is by looking through the eyes of someone who loves us.
Tara Brach
Meditation helps us to get out of our thoughts about the future and really be in the present moment.
Tara Brach
In the process of deeply accepting our own inner experience, instead of being identified with a story of a limited self, we realize the compassion and wakefulness that is our essence.
Tara Brach
Where desire ends up causing suffering is when it fixates.
Tara Brach
Mindfulness is a pause - the space between stimulus and response: that's where choice lies.
Tara Brach
Even a few moments of offering lovingkindness can reconnect you with the purity of your loving heart.
Tara Brach
When we open to love, we become love.
Tara Brach
If attachment then carries forward in a way that's not healthy, we need to let it be there without making it wrong and bring as compassionate and honest attention to it as possible. Honor that this is part of being human, but it's important to know when it's getting in the way.
