Radical Self-Forgiving with Tara Brach 

Thank you for mentioning the suffering in Israel Palestine, Tara. More spiritual leaders must speak out, and you have. 🙏🇵🇸❤️

I find forgiving myself very difficult. Many years ago I behaved very badly and was cruel to a very good man. I don't recognise the person I was then. Like the woman in the story I had a terrible childhood. I have asked the man for forgiveness and he says he forgives me but then when we communicate he brings what happened up. He is now happily married to someone else and I am now old, 70, and alone. I don't want to feel self-pity but do work on forgiveness and kindness to myself. And I am glad he is happy. But I find living with myself hard. I live with failure like others live with backache. However, thank you Tara I wish I could see you in person. Xxx

I found this meditation difficult at first, with so much pain arising. But after the RAIN, I feel at peace for the first time in many years. Thank you, dear Tara, for your understanding and compassion ❤

I just realised that there’s nothing wrong with me. However there’s so much learning out there for me to do. I just want to stretch my mind as much as I can, in a daily basis. Bit by bit. Thanks Tara.

Exactly what i needed

Thank you for giving/bringing so much love and hope.

Who am I if everything is forgiven? A bright, tender, liberated heart ❤️ 🎉

This was by far one of the most profound teachings and practices I've ever done. Thank you, with all my heart - I AM FREE❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

i truly believe you just changed my life forever. thank you.

thank you Tara. your teaching is Buddha level goodness. thank you for your Buddha nature, and your Bodhisattva nature. :)

Unclenching this fist, this heart. Letting go with love I learn to self forgive. Thank you ✨💜

So much kindness here, thank you.

Profound!❤️🙏oh thank you, Tara. Ohm Shanthi, peace to all🙌

I am listening to your videos... i hang on for dear life... i often think of ending it all... after a life of trauma from childhood... living alone and lonely because i am scared of people... i dont want to be hurt anymore... i am 49 years old and never lived my own life... looking after my parents my whole life during their cancer struggles... Never had my own children or family. Giving up everything for them because i loved them. Now that both have passed ... 8 years later i really struggle... i dont know how to live without them... they were my family, my rock. Now i am all alone... i have stumbled on these videos out of total desperation ... to hang on to life... We all want to belong somewhere... i have always felt i belong nowhere... since my life was so different... i just dont know how to find my place in this world all on my own... after sexual child abuse, my father had schizophrenia and mum struggling with depression and could never understand my dads illness... I have looked past his illness and loved my father for the beautiful soul he was... Now i am struggling with depression... My core family is dead... i have major trust issues because of what happened to me as a child... i can't cope without medication... I just want this sadness to go away... i just want to belong somewhere... i dont want to be alone anymore... i just need to get peace in my soul... if i can't reach a place like that... i can't see why to go on... every day i listern to this videos with the hope to hold on... to get the strength to go on...

I love Tara. You help me smile, laugh and forgive.

You help me so much. You hit the nail on the head ❤

The first exercise was like parts work (Internal Family Systems therapy) which has been helping me the past year, so I loved it! Parts work is LIFE-CHANGING.❤

Thank you Tara for the relevant wisdom, always ❤

Thank you Tara ❤

Thank you ❤

Thank you for this beautiful mediation Tara ❤

Our world is really hurting and suffering 😢

Thank you.

My inner judge said i must suffer the punishment of my transgressions. Until i have served my time, I'm not allowed to ve forgiven or feel okay. And who decided how long and how much suffering I need to go through? And to what end? The pain and suffering i have caused will not be inproved by my own further torment. Instead I must make amends, learn a hard lesson, and vow to move ever closer to my values and my own truth.

Thank you so much❤

Thank you

Obrigada

Extremely powerful

Thank you 😊😊

So beautiful Tara 🙏 Thank you❤

thank you so much for illuminating us. such an important topic that covers and touches so many others and connects to all of those trances of self (shame, hate, unworthiness) my appreciation for your precious time and work to make this available

It is a wonderful talk. Thank you very much for your teachings and your wisdom. I thought at first that I didn't need much self-forgiveness...but going deeper with the questions, I really had some difficult issues with self-blame to recognize. The meditation made me get in touch with those difficult emotions and will definitely go for more rounds. My prayers with people hurting due to war. ❤❤❤ 🙏

Thank you so much 💗💗💗

Thanks Tara❤❤❤

Beautiful thank you ❤

Thankfully the God who judges is the God who loves: "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE." John 3:16 God is Love.❤

There are no bad dogs. There are only good dogs who made bad choices. The mind creates the abyss which the heart crosses. You are more than the worst mistake you ever did.

I like this much better than the one with the man who knew everything and you so passive. I am Done Listen to Men as the wise ones. I have been challenged as a child as a mother and a grandmother. I can forgive my parents I can have compassion for and forgive myself I cannot be at peace with my daughter’s drug induced confusion that brings even more grief to my life.

Thank you , I love what u are trying to say … how will it help me how do we forgive ourselves and others , I need more inner strength I am so spoilt bad pattern of behaviour , can you help me can u help it’s part of Buddha compassion .mi have always had a complex and less love unloved please help if u can . All the Sam were thank you for all your efforts

Thank you ❤
