Tara Brach: Beyond the Controlling Self, Part I

Tara Brach: Beyond the Controlling Self, Part I [2019.04.03]
It is natural that we do what we can to ward off danger and further ourselves. While our control strategies-such as aggression, judging, planning, seeking approval, pretending-have a developmental role, they are not a recipe for happiness, intimacy and freedom. An essential part of our evolution is to recognize when we are over-managing our lives, and learn to let go of the controls. These talks explore how we can release the grip of the over-controller, and the profound awakening of our hearts and minds that is possible in the shift from doing to being.

Thank you for all the amazing videos. They really make me pause and reflect on my own life. Listening to your talks bring peace in my heart and teaches me to incorporate spirituality into my life. It gives me strength to cope with everything much better than my old self. So huge thanks and love to you 🙏💗

Wonderful words, this is what I needed to hear tonight. Thank you Tara.

[@cacampbell3654]

5:57 I came to this video *specifically* bc I was aware of my aversion to reality.
I’m finding what’s been happening in Gaza almost unbearable. My solutions only work temporarily bc they don’t stop the suffering of hundreds of thousands and violent deaths of thousands.
Also my personal circumstances. It is midday and my neighbours who’s behaviour at night seriously impacts my health are still sleeping.
Two situations that inspire the desire to control and feelings of frustration, etc. when I fail.
Back to what Tara has to say.
