Can You Handle This? | Tara Brach

Про цей епізод

<p>This is the third episode of our Getting Unstuck Series and we're kicking off the new year with a giant in the meditation world. Tara Brach holds a PhD in clinical psychology and has been practicing and teaching meditation around the world for more than four decades. She is the founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington and the author of numerous books. She's here today to talk about her newest, which is called <a href= "https://www.soundstrue.com/products/trusting-the-gold" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Trusting the Gold: Uncovering Your Natural Goodness</em></a>, and features illustrations by <a href="https://vickyalvarez.com/" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vicky Alvarez</a>.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>Tara's argument is that we too often get stuck in what she calls a "trance of unworthiness," spiraling into negativity about who we are and how we are in the world. That's the bad news. But the good news is that we all have an inherent goodness – what is sometimes called "Buddha nature," and what she in this book calls "the gold." </p> <p><br /></p> <p>In this episode, Tara explains that the boundaries around what we are willing to accept in ourselves mirror the boundaries around our own capacity for happiness, and she offers actionable tools for expanding our ability to accept. She also talks very bravely about how she's done this work on herself. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Join us today for Getting Unstuck – our free 14-day meditation challenge, over on the Ten Percent Happier app. Click <a href= "https://10percenthappier.app.link/install" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> to get started.   </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Full Shownotes:</strong> <a href="http://tara-brach-408" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank">https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/tara-brach-408</a></p>
