237: Unabridged Interview: Tara Brach
No Small Endeavor with Lee C. Camp
Closing Reflections on Radical Acceptance
Tara and Lee summarize Radical Acceptance themes and the practices that support more open-hearted living.
This is our unabridged interview with Tara Brach.
How do you accept yourself fully, just as you are? And if you did, would you ever grow?
“Being at peace with how we are in the moment is the precondition to transformation,” says psychologist and meditation teacher Tara Brach.
In this episode she provides us with a simple practice to find peace and transformation known by the acronym RAIN.
“We have amazing potential to change some of the habits that cause ourselves or others harm,” she says, “but we won't be able to access that if we're at war with ourselves.” Hear Tara’s stories from a life of practicing mindfulness, putting on display the wisdom and healing that come from pausing to accept the world as it is.
