    Three Blessings in Spiritual Life – Part 3: A Mirror

    This 3- part series explores three capacities we all have, that when cultivated, bring spiritual awakening and serve the healing of our world. Drawing on an ancient teaching story from India, we explore together the power of a forgiving heart, the inner fire that expresses as courage and dedication, and the inquiry of “who am I” that reveals our deepest nature. The three qualities often described as the essence of awareness: wakeful, open, tender.”

    Meditation: Listening to Life

    Meditation: Listening to Life

    The attitude of meditation is one of engaged listening – a relaxed, receptive yet intimate attention. This meditation explores how we can listen to sounds, listen to and feel sensations, and then relax back into the ocean of awareness that includes and perceives the changing waves. In this relaxing back, we realize the peace and freedom of inhabiting our wholeness and essence.

    Meditation: Living Presence - Experiencing Aliveness and Openheartedness

    Meditation: Living Presence - Experiencing Aliveness and Openheartedness

    The pathway to experiencing full aliveness and openheartedness is by awakening awareness throughout the body. This meditation begins by establishing a rhythmic inflow and outflow of the breath, in order to calm and collect the mind. Then continuing with the conscious breathing, we are guided through the body – bringing attention to sensations and space. This attention becomes a very vibrant living presence, and we end by experiencing that living presence as a natural openheartedness that includes all of life.

Life transforming, inspiring, incredible

I’ve been listening to Tara’s podcast for over a year now on a regular basis.

It’s a miracle and a blessing to listen to her wisdom and loving words.

The podcasts change my life, increased my wellbeing and happiness, helped me through challenging phases of life and largely increased my space holding, yoga and meditation teachings and personal spiritual practices.

Highly recommended!!!
