Radical Compassion
Radical Compassion: Learning to Love Yourself and Your World with the Practice of RAIN | Tara Brach
10 posts | 7 read | 2 reading | 3 to read
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.

I love Tara Brach‘s writing. She‘s one of the most accessible mindfulness/meditation authors out there, in my opinion.

Tara Brach's first book, Radical Acceptance, was a pivotal book for me over ten years ago. This is a wonderful revisit to this practice and expanding it. For me this is a personal 5 star, it is not perfect but it is meaningful to me. I look forward to buying this in physical form as I will return to this book.

For whatever reason, just not in the mood to read this. It‘s a library book so it can “stay home” with me for ages- maybe I will get back to it, but maybe not! So I did not include this in my #weeklyforcast.

Lindy I didn‘t know there was a book. I followed Tara Brach‘s free online 10-day Radical Compassion challenge in January and it was pretty good. 4y
kspenmoll Maybe that‘s a better approach! Thanks for info! I will look into it. 4y

1. Radical Compassion.

2. I do a combination. Some books for buddy reads, but for the most part I tend to “fly by the seat of my pants.” Very much a mood reader.

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 😃 4y

#RAIN #synchronicity #keeplitsypositive
When I pulled a book from my library bag, this book was in my grasp. Right before then, I had been ordering from Whole Foods & A perfume called “Rain” caught my eye. I rarely use scents because they bother my husband. But I suddenly wanted to treat myself and wear it while I work. It went in my cart. Such coincidences always make me pause & feel the universe is aligned with me.All seems right in my world.

Desha I looove perfume whether natural like Aveda or just regular perfume....someone in my family is allergic to it so I never wear it! Good for you finding a way to wear it! Rain sounds heavenly! 💖💖💖 4y

This book has been helping me SO MUCH with easing my anxiety through this challenging time. Tara Brach teaches us how to practice compassion to empower, center, and free us. Using RAIN (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, & Nurture) has been a lifeline for me, helping me to stay in the present, care for myself and my team, and feel empowered to do what I can to respond with compassion and creativity to this unprecedented moment.
