Reflection: Making the U-Turn: Awakening through Anger and Conflict, with Tara Brach

Reflection: Making the U-Turn: Awakening through Anger and Conflict, with Tara Brach [2023-01-07]
How do we honor the intelligence within anger, but not get hijacked into emotional reactivity? In this short reflection, we’ll explores the U-turn that enables us to offer a healing attention to the feelings and unmet needs under anger. Once present with our inner life, we are able to respond to those around us with wisdom, empathy and true strength.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I needed this meditation more than I imagined. I feel that I can now let go of the animosity I was harboring because I can now see beyond the smaller selves of myself and all parties involved in my particular situation. This meditation is a priceless gem! Thank you. Namaste.

Thank you for reminding me that if l respect myself I don't need others to respect me. 🕉

I take a 100% responsibility to break away from the trance of conflict. Thank you.

I was so unconscious in 2022. I was volatile, angry, telling people I’m gonna k!ll myself, reactive, nasty. I found Buddhism and am healing. Tara, some of your talks left streams flowing from my eyes. I feel an awakening, the venomous poison I was spewing was fear. Egoic fear. I was so afraid of my now ex hurting me and being with someone else, I was entirely unconscious.
I am finding presence, space, letting go, ego dissolving..
Sending you love for your teachings, they’ve helped me more than standard medicine or therapy has,
I take 100% responsibility for my mistakes, behaviors, responses. I surrender to any shame,
From a lost 26 year old who is finding the way 💜💫🥺

Yes, fear/lack vs love /abundance 🙏🙏🙏

Dylan, nice comment. It seems like your accepting things but not judging yourself. That’s huge. Keep it up! Meditation is what keeps me anchored and Tara was my first online instructor.

You are so so lucky.

Thank you. I really needed that. I remembered that for me, feeling lack of love respect and safety is largely coming from my past. I need to remember it a lot more often.
A good reminder to see things through another person's eyes. It diffuse the sharpness of the pain I feel. I expect I'll struggle on and off for most of my life but with tools like this are a great help. Thanks you again.

I love you, Tara. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I just had to make the decision to take my son off of life support. I am listening intently. Thank you. I was very ill for a long time and almost died. I finally figured out how to heal myself, thanks to your wisdom and others I sought out. What's so strange, is after my own personal healing, I lost my son and no matter how much we agreed on all of these teaching you talk about, and all the late nights where my son and I would stay up and talk about the wonder of it all... I can't believe he never took it to heart and ended up taking his own life with a fentanyl overdose. I am now having a hard time reconciling it all. ☮❤

Dearest Tara, I have just started reading your book Radical Acceptance and I wanted to stop and say, Thank you, thank you for all the work you have done and for sharing it with the world. I am 81 and in a second wave of Kundalini, it has been rough the last few weeks and I found myself panicing. I knew I wanted to help my body , mind, andf spirit feel safe. So I am reading your book.....and I again, want to say, Thanks. Namaste'
