    Meditation: Befriending Your Inner Life (18:33 min.)
    Jan 28 2026

    This meditation establishes a gentle and caring presence through bringing the image and felt sense of a smile to various domains in the body. We then settle with the breath, and practice relaxing with whatever arises, letting life be just as it is. The underlying intention is to regard all experience with a clear, interested and friendly attention. The gift is a homecoming to our naturally loving presence.

    Meditation: Receiving Life in Open, Awake Awareness (20:34 min.)
    Jan 21 2026

    This meditation awakens a receptive attention to the senses, starting with physical sensations and opening to sound. Then we sense how open awake awareness is receiving the moment to moment arising and passing life. In the final part of the practice, we explore how awake awareness is receiving the experience of our heart and offer blessings to our inner life and all living beings.

I love this podcast and it's helped me so much. I have one small comment: in one of the episodes,Tara refers to anti-Zionist demonstrations as "anti-Semitic", which is a misconception.

Beautiful, practical podcast
