More quotes by Tara Brach
In the collective psyche it is being understood... that we can cultivate wisdom and compassion.
Tara Brach
But this revolutionary act of treating ourselves tenderly can begin to undo the aversive messages of a lifetime.
Tara Brach
People don't behave in angry ways unless they are feeling stressed and conflicted too.
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
Relaxation is the doorway to both wisdom and compassion.
Tara Brach
That non-attachment gives us the freedom to be exactly who we are.
Tara Brach
Extend an act of kindness each day. No one has to know. It can be a smile, reassuring words, a small favor - without expecting something in return.
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
Managing life from our mental control towers, we have separated ourselves from our bodies and hearts.
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
People have to find their rhythm. Some people have need for more contact and time together and some people need more space.
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
Emotions are the interaction of thoughts and of sensations in the body.
Tara Brach
If our hearts are ready for anything, we will spontaneously reach out when others are hurting. Living in an ethical way can attune us to the pain and needs of others, but when our hearts are open and awake, we care instinctively.
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
There are some things we can't choose, but in being present we can choose how we want to relate to them
Tara Brach
If you can, do a gratitude practice: Each day write down three things you're grateful for. There are different ways to do this. You can have a gratitude buddy, someone with whom, at the end of the day, you exchange messages listing these three things you are grateful for. Also, you can journal it or reflect on it silently.
Tara Brach
In intimate relationships, if we start trying to be more real, it's very scary.
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
Happiness lies not in finding what is missing, but in finding what is present.
