More wonderful, life soothing wisdom from Tara Brach. She is a fantastic teacher and has a lovely, calming and reassuring voice and what she says is down to earth and easy to understand... and easy to put into practice in your life. Its all about coming back to yourself as a resource/refuge as opposed to seeking comfort in transient pleasures, out there in the world. The message is very moving... I cried with relief sometimes!
She points out how we can treat ourselves badly and are our own worst critics...and that would make anyone feel bad! Here is a way out of our self defeating thoughts and habits.
Tara has a light hearted approach and also has a great sense of humour and often uses it to get the point across. Its a gentle but profound journey into healing, that she offers.
This book can work well for seasoned meditators from any system or people who have never meditated before. It has universal appeal and can be pertinent for people of any faith or none.
I've been listening to Tara Brach for many years... she has helped me be a lot more compassionate towards myself and others and I therefore feel happier and more at home in myself. I'm also learning to be more aware of the present moment being where we live and what we actually have.
Listening to this book is certainly better than reading it ,in my opinion, as you can enjoy the spoken instructions for the meditations and her calming voice.
I can't recommend this, or indeed anything from her, highly enough.

Tara Brach is Wonderful!

Tara Brach is so calming. This book brought tears to my eyes at many points because of the honesty and universal truths that Tara taps into. Through her stories and guidance she helps soften and open the tightness and resistance to challenges in life.

This is not the type of book you read or listen to once. I think many of the chapters can be listened I over again and in different orders. I plan to listen to many of the guided reflections and meditations again.

This book will help you shift to living in a calming presence

This is quite a nice book. I’ve listened to quite a few of Brach’s podcasts etc so was a bit worried the book would repeat a lot of the same stories (as I’ve found with some Jack Kornfield books) but that wasn’t the case. The tone of the book is kind and it feels supportive. It’s also easy to listen to. Most of it you can listen at x2 speed although you would want to slow down for the meditations. The meditations/practices themselves are clearly set out and easy to follow. They are not going to change your life overnight (none of these books can despite what some claim) but you will definitely find them helpful. This is a book I will want to read again. My only slight quibbles are that it would be helpful to have an accompanying pdf with the practices in them and/or to have the practices marked out as chapters so they can be easily revisited.

Quite a nice and helpful book

The sweet and caring voice of Tara, her fullness and realness of narrating and holding the meditations was a Real Bonus. This is not a book❤️ It's a gift of self healing & Awakening.
I had to keep pausing to allow myself to recover from overwhelming emotions of true heartfelt sobbing!

I've practiced a lot of spiritual teachings and done oodles of self work... It's fascinating to keep finding more tools and more amazing people on the Path who enrich our process of becoming whole again; the way we were originally intended to be... Open, Loving, Compassionate and Full of Light.

I whole heartedly recommend this to EVERYONE, especially if you're ready to explore and know yourself better.. I can't wait to share it, buy it and gift it to so many of my friends and family.

Extending my deep GRATITUDE to Tara for her life's work, commitment and dedication to serving her highest soul mission in assisting humanity with it's healing & awakening process! With Love and BLESSINGS to ALL.🙏

The loving compassionate soothing kindness of the Author Tara Beach reading this book impacts me in ways my mind is unable to comprehend and my heart breaks open into loving presence where all belongs and I feel held in safety, protection and unconditional acceptance and understanding. Thank you Tara from the depths of my b/Being for reading this in care and holding.
