- Tara Brach: Saying “Yes” - Meeting Your Edge and Softening (2018-07-25)
Our habitual ways of avoiding unpleasant experience keep us from intimacy with our inner life and with each other. This talk helps us recognize these often unconscious patterns that keep us identified with a separate, threatened self, and offers guidance in saying “yes” to the life we encounter. As we release resistance, we discover the creativity, wisdom and love that express our unbound, true, nature.

Tara, you changed my life. Two weeks ago, I was going through a gut-wrenching experience and I read the first 13 pages of Radical Acceptance. It took me an hour and a half to read just 13 pages, because i kept reading and re-reading each part, recognizing my own truth in your words. I sobbed the entire time, but the tears were incredibly healing. It’s like I finally understood all of the truths of my life that I had been denying before. Your book gave me the tools I need to live the life I want from now on, and I truly believe that it was the catalyst that pushed me into a spiritual awakening . The past two weeks have been the most emotional and yet amazing of my life. I’m not even done with Radical Acceptance yet, but I’m already planning to re-read it several times. I also bought a copy for my mom, my boyfriend, and my dad, and I bought a copy of True Refuge to read too. I am so grateful for your work! Thank you!
How are you now, 6 months later? Blessings
😊😊😊
Tara is so soft and warm and accepting
This talk reduced my suffering and soothed my mind. Thank you for your service to the world.
Thank you Tara for sharing this with the world 🙏 This lecture is so powerful ❤️
God bles you Tara I felt sad for unnecessary pain for so long, but happy to learn this and be able to pass on
Thank you. In Croatia we say: No need to say thank you for the medicine. Profound self acceptance. I feel the wound of overextending myself.
She is a gentle whisper in the shouting voices of my head.
I love you so much Tara❤
This talk helped me so much to ground myself in the RAIN technique. I use it to bring relief from OCD. You have just expanded the practice of that for me. Sort of like RAIN 102. Thank you for holding this space for our healing.
Thank you, so valuable and underrated ❤
Beautiful!!! Thank you so very much for your patience with me, Ms. Brach and Group, I get very impatient with my lack of tech skills, because of my previous outlandish behaviors. I love working towards my own visions of what life will look like and with compassion and cooperation there's GREAT POSSIBILITIES FOR getting along-nesses!!! Hehe Luv, Have fun and Bee as Happy.. as Welp, ME, not SORRY, SO SELFING 😊 💕 💖 💗 💛 💓😊 💕
The story of Milarepa in the cave has always been one of my favorites. I have carried a print of it with me for years, and frequently tape it to the wall above my desk to remind me of the teaching. However, your loving guidance in this video touched me deeply and brought me to a deeper understanding. I'm in tears as I write this, but they are tears of acceptance. Thank you for getting me there.
Thanks for your beautiful comments. Namaste'
I felt sad for how long I've struggled unnecessarily. But so glad to learn this and pass on :)
Thank you so much, Tara! May God bless you!
I will repeat someone’s comment - thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
Bless your light, thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you for recording this talks,
They are very insightful and help me immensely. I know I will come back to listen to them over and over again. Much love. Gracias!
I also love her delicious delivery of words of encouragement and love to people that feel like outsiders!!! Never been a fast reader, more of a visual learner, so her calm sincerity goes along way for us!!!
Tara, my God. I love you so much. I am so grateful to you for your teachings...for the life you have led that brings such wisdom to share with all of us. Thanks so much. Namaste'
I loved this, thank you.
Tara you are like a saving grace for me. Thank you and to my kind friend for introducing me to your work.
Namaste dear Tara ✨
Thank you! :-)
In my heart and gut I have a fear of being unlovable. When I said yes to this fear it showed me how connected that was with being unable to show my love. This is funny as whenever I show love ( often) it is followed with a jab. I always wondered why i could not give my love without inflicting a symbolic pain.
I noticed by saying yes how tight and criticised my body and mind are when I run from my fear. This yes led me to recognise a spiral. If I am so lacking how could anything I have to give be off value. When I said yes to this core fear. I found 3 ways to show my love to those present in my day today. Thank you.
very strong talk thanks.
I read radical acceptance years ago and it saved my life, today this talk took me back to it and I grasped the meaning more deeply said yes to my sore throat and yes to all these little hot pains that appeared one by one around my body, quite pleasant yes to some long lost tears that led to a clear memory of my grandfather and a word in the auld tongue ,scullery, that was the word we all said until I went to school and learnt we were wrong and it was a kitchen look it’s in all the books and I said yes to the shame of not speaking English and I said yes to the oppression that I flayed my tongue with all my life because under the idea of kitchen , plastic and new there was a dark scullery under the Campsie hills that smelt of coal and I was wee in the cool scullery with the clean spring water right off the hills through the tap onto this little tongue I told I loved it today. Thank you , thank you , thank you ,yes,yes,aye ❤
Thank you!
Thank you for this beautiful talk and the meditations. Really helping me understand and help make my way through a really challenging period of my life. Namaste. ❤❤❤
Very comforting.Heard it a few times.Thought you may like it
And I love cobalt blue glass! And especially cobalt Medicine Buddha practice (some say lapis lazuli). What an irony.
Great talk, as usual!
Namaste and Thank you
Thank you
The boundary to what we accept IS thé boundary to our freedom.
I linked to you thru Hans Wilhelm. He had a profound trick to deal with this; so effective I copied it from an interview he gave. I'll share it - because I can actually remember to do it when I need it. I say: 1) Oh dear. Look what I have created. 2) It's OK to have all my thoughts and emotions about this AND still love myself. 3) There is balance (good) in this. 4) I choose peace. I remember to say this to myself often and I think it leads to a similar place as you speak of here. Thank you for your talks and sharing - they have nurtured me tremendously.
Love Hans!!❤🙌
Love the music in the beginning ..what is it
❤
While practing, im finding it hard not to feel victimized by the feeling.
Wow
Thank Tara. You are a blessing in my life.
This was powerful for me thank you! I would love to know the song that is played before and after your talks. The flute music is beautiful and I would love to be able to purchase it.
adfadf adfadsf the flute is from Jonathan Foust “A Touch of Grace” album available here: www.jonathanfoust.com/products/
Can we ask for help? Incribly, I'm feeling more guilty watching this. I can't find the roots of this feeling. I've been feeling so much guilty lately. So much. Is writing about it a way of healing, or just relief?
Thank you for your work. Just curious. How come you don’t want to mention Pena chodron’s work, which has clearly influenced you? I was just curious.
Is saying yes a form of validating all i feel and think? For example, if i think "this makes me very afraid", i just validate this? Dont fight this thought?
If the pain is too big, does it make sense to look for releaf?
You are so funny 😊
Is it possible to get lost in the process?
Is it normal if these feelings take long to disappear? Like days
🐚💞
In my mind, I'm thinking I shall suffer to heal. I think its such a trap!
Seraphim holy holy sent to earth in the form of naga..... teaching..
Im already in the cave
Say yes, surrender...retrain the brain!
Make effort for as long as you live to melt away your body consciousness. You shouldn’t have the slightest attachment to your old shoe.
Become a true Brahmin and buzz knowledge to insects and make them into Brahmins like yourself.
When brahmin sarantoula or anyone enters hospital for surgery, F doctor says welcome Mr or Mrs whatever but when things go wrong, person dies, doctor says to sister please take this body out and not by saying Mr or Mrs. So become better human being
How can I not love love, Tara.May I introduce you to my deepest demon friend, King Kobald. Kobald is German for "evil spirits in mines". Kobald=Cobalt in English. I have been systemically poisoned by cobalt through 4 hip surgeries, and the 5th and 6th may have this old dancer in a wheelchair. Yes. Yes. YED Yes. Yes. Being poisoned this way (from 2007 to 2012) ground metal shards of cobalt from the defective implement collect to form a pseudotumor. Excuse my nitty-grittiness, but King Kobald spat in the surgeon's face on my first revision because it was so pressurized, hot and swollen from my pelvic rim to my groin. I'm fighting and fighting family and doctors because KK, via an MA-driven critical research of 4 years, KK rampaged through my entire body, eating here and there (pelvis, nerve sheaths, bone, flesh, 5 white lesions on the brain. When I was opened up black necrotic flesh oozed out. My pelvic bone could no longer hold a new hip implement because she had been eaten away by KK. So I have 3 screws on the right and 2 more on the left. 99.9999% of doctors know of Systemic Cobalt Poisoning because reasonably, it has been covered up. KK robbed me of my life. YWes. KK has the exact symptomology as Chemically-Activated Multiple Sclerosis. I know this to be true in my gut. Yes to maybe not knowing so well. The trauma of complicit doctors with not a word of cobalt in any records, and the contents of the pseudotumor sent to an outside facility, doctors blacklisting me throughout the city because I ask about cobalt. Yes. Just gave myself a hernia. Yes, it hurts. Had a stroke, fell flat and bruised my spinal cord . . . hence last November's neck surgery, taking a buzz saw to my right pelvic rim to get bone bits for 4 places in my neck, then a metal plate put in and secured with 2 screws for each the 4 vertebrae. And the trauma of being alone from a highly dysfunctional family who cannot see the "invisible symptoms". Good God, Tara, I would scream NO but you are full of too much love, so I breathe yes.
This just made me feel worse
