Tara Brach

For many of us, feelings of deficiency are right around the corner. It doesn’t take much--just hearing of someone else’s accomplishments, being criticized, getting into an argument, making a mistake at work--to make us feel that we are not okay. Beginning to understand how our lives have become ensnared in this trance of unworthiness is our first step toward reconnecting with who we really are and what it means to live fully. --from Radical AcceptanceRadical Acceptance“Believing that something is wrong with us is a deep and tenacious suffering,” says Tara Brach at the start of this illuminating book. This suffering emerges in crippling self-judgments and conflicts in our relationships, in addictions and perfectionism, in loneliness and overwork--all the forces that keep our lives constricted and unfulfilled. Radical Acceptance offers a path to freedom, including the day-to-day practical guidance developed over Dr. Brach’s twenty years of work with therapy clients and Buddhist students.Writing with great warmth and clarity, Tara Brach brings her teachings alive through personal stories and case histories, fresh interpretations of Buddhist tales, and guided meditations. Step by step, she leads us to trust our innate goodness, showing how we can develop the balance of clear-sightedness and compassion that is the essence of Radical Acceptance. Radical Acceptance does not mean self-indulgence or passivity. Instead it empowers genuine change: healing fear and shame and helping to build loving, authentic relationships. When we stop being at war with ourselves, we are free to live fully every precious moment of our lives.From the Hardcover edition.

A beautifully illustrated gift book to help us uncover and trust the innate goodness in ourselves and others.We receive so many messages from our culture meant to divide us from one another or turn us against ourselves. Yet when we stop judging, stop avoiding, stop trying to resist that which makes us afraid or ashamed, we open to our true nature―a boundless field of awareness that is innately fearless and loving.This recognition of our essential human goodness may be the most radical act of healing we can take. “The gold of our true nature can never be tarnished,” says Tara Brach. “In the moments of remembering and trusting this basic goodness of our Being, we open to happiness, peace, and freedom.”In Trusting the Gold, Tara draws from more than four decades of experience as a meditation teacher and psychologist to share her most valuable practices for reconnecting with the beauty of our humanity―from timeless Buddhist wisdom to techniques adapted to the specific challenges of our modern age. Here you’ll explore three pathways of remembering and living from your full • Opening to the Truth of the present moment• Turning toward Love in any situation• Resting in the Freedom of our natural, radiant awareness“Even in the midst of our deepest emotional suffering, self-compassion is the pathway that will carry us home,” Dr. Brach writes. “What a joy to pause and behold our basic goodness, and to see how it shines through each of us. Seeing that secret beauty, we fall in love with all of life.”

One of the most beloved and trusted mindfulness teachers in America offers a lifeline for difficult times: the RAIN meditation, which awakens our courage and heart.Tara Brach is an in-the-trenches teacher whose work counters today's ever-increasing onslaught of news, conflict, demands, and anxieties--stresses that leave us rushing around on auto-pilot and cut off from the presence and creativity that give our lives meaning.In this heartfelt and deeply practical book, she offers an antidote: an easy-to-learn four-step meditation that quickly loosens the grip of difficult emotions and limiting beliefs. Each step in the meditation practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) is brought to life by memorable stories shared by Tara and her students as they deal with feelings of overwhelm, loss, and self-aversion, with painful relationships, and past trauma--and as they discover step-by-step the sources of love, forgiveness, compassion, and deep wisdom alive within all of us.

How do you cope when facing life-threatening illness, family conflict, faltering relationships, old trauma, obsessive thinking, overwhelming emotion, or inevitable loss? If you’re like most people, chances are you react with fear and confusion, falling back on timeworn strategies: anger, self-judgment, and addictive behaviors. Though these old, conditioned attempts to control our life may offer fleeting relief, ultimately they leave us feeling isolated and mired in pain. There is another way. Beneath the turbulence of our thoughts and emotions exists a profound stillness, a silent awareness capable of limitless love. Tara Brach, author of the award-winning Radical Acceptance, calls this awareness our true refuge, because it is available to every one of us, at any moment, no exceptions. In this book, Brach offers a practical guide to finding our inner sanctuary of peace and wisdom in the midst of difficulty. Based on a fresh interpretation of the three classic Buddhist gateways to freedom—truth, love, and awareness—True Refuge shows us the way not just to heal our suffering, but also to cultivate our capacity for genuine happiness. Through spiritual teachings, guided meditations, and inspirational stories of people who discovered loving presence during times of great struggle, Brach invites us to connect more deeply with our own inner life, one another, and the world around us. True Refuge is essential reading for anyone encountering hardship or crisis, anyone dedicated to a path of spiritual awakening. The book reminds us of our own innate intelligence and goodness, making possible an enduring trust in ourselves and our lives. We realize that what we seek is within us, and regardless of circumstances, “there is always a way to take refuge in a healing and liberating presence.”Advance praise for True Refuge “Tara Brach writes from the heart to the heart. With candor and calmness, she shares her own and others’ struggles to overcome our deep and constant human dilemmas. Whenever I read Brach, I feel more peaceful and hopeful. I trust myself and the universe more. I feel more connected and grounded in what the Lakota Sioux call Wakan Tanka, The Great Mystery. True Refuge is itself a refuge and I thank the author for it.”—Mary Pipher, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Green Boat and Reviving Ophelia “There is something very special about this exquisitely written book—its clarity, beauty, simplicity, and humanity practically sing to you. Inspiring and uplifting to read, it also has eminently practical, implementable, step-by-step guidance to practice and live by. And the fifteen brief, powerful guided meditations offer an easy, gentle entry toward inner peace and wisdom. While turning the pages, I thought of a half dozen people who could really use this book as a friendly, loving reference point—myself included!”—Belleruth Naparstek, author of Invisible Heroes and creator of the Health Journeys guided imagery audio series

Il metodo dell'accettazione radicale spiegato in questo libro ci libera da una trance frenetica di "email, troppi impegni, corse, raggiungere, consumare e acquistare", insegnandoci a coltivare una presa di coscienza consapevole e compassionevole verso noi stessi. In questo modo cominciamo ad accettare chi siamo nel presente e le nostre vite per quello che sono. Il metodo dell'accettazione radicale non prevede che si accettino le cose così come sono o che ci si rassegni agli eventi. Si tratta piuttosto di cercare di ricavare il buono da ogni situazione attraverso la meditazione, prendendoci una pausa dai ritmi frenetici della vita. Nel libro si trovano suggerimenti su come affrontare le diverse emozioni negative e tutti gli ostacoli che ci impediscono di essere sereni attraverso pratiche che attingono dalla tradizione buddista. Frequenti i rimandi alle tecniche suggerite da Thich Nhat Hahn e ai suoi insegnamenti, come per esempio quello di affrontare la paura, imparando a convivere con essa e imparare da essa per trarne beneficio.

Die berühmte buddhistische Meditationslehrerin Tara Brach hat mit RAIN eine bewährte Selbsthilfe-Methode weiterentwickelt, die sie nun in ihrem Ratgeber zu Achtsamkeit und Selbstliebe zum ersten Mal vorstellt. Sie und auch ihre Schüler*innen geben Beispiele, wie ihnen RAIN bei ihren Traumata, Ängsten oder in schmerzlichen Beziehungen geholfen hat. Die vier Schritte von RAIN registrieren (recognize),- annehmen (accept),- interessiert erforschen (investigate),- nähren (nurture).Mit diesen vier Schritten ist jeder in der Lage, sich in schwierigen Situationen zu sammeln und mit Achtsamkeit vorschnelle Reaktionen zu vermeiden. Gerade der letzte Punkt "nurture" hilft, Selbstmitgefühl für sich selbst und seine heiklen Seiten zu entwickeln und das Positive in sich zu nähren. Viel zu oft bewegen wir uns im sogenannten Autopiloten und agieren automatsich mit festen Gedanken- und Gefühlsmustern auf die Situationen des Lebens. Tara Brach nennt das eine Art "Trance", die wir zu selten durchbrechen. Die besondere Achtsamkeit, die man durch RAIN entwickeln kann, führt demgegenüber zu einer weiteren Perspektive mit mehr Varianten und Möglichkeiten zu reagieren und zu handeln. Sie führt definitiv zu mehr Klarheit, Humor und Mitgefühl, vor allem zu mehr Selbstmitgefühl oder Selbstliebe. Am Ende jedes Kapitels geben Übungen die Möglichkeit, die wertvollen Erkenntnisse von RAIN praktisch und alltagsnah umzusetzen.
