Such solace in the storm.

THANK YOU! Everyone in this world needs to listen to this meditation daily❣️

I don’t have a meditation practice (yet) but listening to Tara’s talks and meditations feels like a warm hug, and really helps center me. She has a great sense of humor too.

I’ve been listening to Tara Brach for years now. Her meditations and teachings have really helped me. We need this kind of presence more and more.

Changed my life. So grateful.

Thank you for your guided meditations! 😊🙏🪷

Can’t listen to her because of her political nonsense.

Thank you Tara! Every day I listen to your podcast. I meditate , I reflect and listen to your wise words. I share your podcasts with my friends and loved ones too. And you inspired me to get a dog. I lost my beloved poodle in 2019, so it was a long time before I decided on acquiring another pet. But you inspired me (and you got a puppy)! We found an older 4 year old labradoodle that needed a home. Your pup must be several years old by now. Thank you and keep sharing the wisdom of ages and I even love your jokes!!!

I am very grateful to have found Tara’s books and this podcast. She has had such a positive influence on my life and well being. Thank you, Tara, for this podcast and for your heartfelt messages.

Tara has been so instrumental to my meditation practice. As a fellow therapist, I send her podcasts to clients all the time. She is the real deal! Grateful for her work.

Is Buddha a god or just a good person I didn’t know that that was a religion

you are teaching false things. Buddha is a false god. Jesus Christ is the one true God! I pray that you find the truth

Bringing politics into the mix and being divisive is not peaceful. Prayer does not mean vote for Kamala. I think she needs help!

Every time I listen to her i have a big shift around whatever issue is in my heart

Thank you for your amazing mediations. I do one every morning 💜

Bringing politics into a podcast that is intended to calm your brain is a bad idea

Tara’s podcasts always help me gain much-needed perspective. The perfect pre-bedtime listen.

When my wife, son (five years old at the time) and I first met Tara in 2011 at the Buddhafest event ten years after the September 11 murders, Tara was sitting at a table, gazing upon us as we approached the main entrance with the eyes and smile of an angel. Since then, I have benefited very much from joining Tara's Dharma talks live and online. Deeply thanking and bowing to Tara.

I really connect to your meditations Tara, thanks so much!

I’m a psychologist and I enjoy these podcasts every day to enhance my wellbeing!!

i leave this podcast but then come back again & again when i need extra self-kindness, support, tools or when an external event hits you hard. thank you tara!

This podcast has helped me cope and sleep at night on some of the hardest days of my life.

Mornings are mentally difficult. Tara is a master of self compassion, and she talks in a way that meets me where I’m at. Listening to these helps a lot.

I find Tara Brach’s recordings and books to be so valuable to me personally and professionally as guides for deepening my understanding and practices of mindfulness.

Tara Brach guides me in the right direction.

Her voice and messages comfort my soul 🥹

Listening to Tara is like wrapping oneself in a warm blanket just out of the dryer.

The awareness and flow meditation of Jul 17.2024 was the best I ever heard and came to me at just the right moment in time..thank you.Diane

I’ve been cherishing Tara’s voice and her guided meditations for some time now. I just want to express my gratitude for her presence in this world. She brings so much peace and gentle awareness. Goddess bless you!

After years of sporadic meditation, I found this podcast and day after day I come and meditate with Tara! It’s been 3 years now and I wake up looking forward to my practice with her. She is even become a gentle caring voice in my head now. I am so blessed to have found her.

I love this podcast is so down to earth with relatable topics for everyone. The sacred Listening episode is so helpful talking about peoples struggle with focus and much more. We should all listen to this episode it would help to heal society. 💜

Vulnerable, knowledgeable, relatable, communal, humble. Tara builds on a foundation of practice that I find elicits feeling of belonging, while bringing topical examples and relevant conversation to her talks, resulting for me in a trusted resource and sanga in my pocket.

Thanks bringing me so much calm contemplation. Some of these episodes have been crucial to turning something sticky around for me. I recommend this podcast to lots of folks seeking meditations.

I have been listening for going on 3 years now, going all the way back to the beginning episodes, finding salve for my wounds. Thank you ❤️❤️‍🩹

The most recent episode (April 2024) with Lee Camp was a great discussion. So much good impactful foundational stuff here that I needed to revisit and learn once again. A really wonderful conversation and so very helpful for me to hear professionals examine their own lives and struggles. I have been listening to Tara Brach since about 2017 when we adopted our son and I started a new job. Life was crazy and listening to this podcast has helped put life in perspective. I can say this has changed me and continues to ground me. Tara is easy to understand, tells relevant and funny stories, and has the gift of vulnerability. Not many I have listened to capture all of these qualities. Thank you Tara for changing my life- my spouse thanks you ☺️

You bring calm and hope in these turbulent times. I am so grateful.

Graciously and gently she gets to the heart of what matters with earned vision, compassion and eloquence. While reminding us of what we know if we could calm, open and listen, and focus our efforts on growing. With an assurance too, that we share in this human journey and care deeply. I so appreciate you., the interviews and meditations are timely for me.

Tara is a rare gift.

For reasons big and small and everything in between, this woman has changed my life. I can’t put my experience into words but the beauty, wisdom and grace she embodies and shares week after week is transformative; a rare gift in this day in age. thank you, Tara.

As a young woman who is struggling with life, the guided meditations you publish, help guide me to feel safer. I try to meditate without any guide, but it’s very difficult— it feels unsafe, so it’s so nice, having a comforting voice to coax me out of freezing and fear.

Tara your meditation has helped me in my Christian practice to be a better human being.. When I take the time to center myself and be and follow your meditations. I come back to the center and contemplate the miracle of being alive with God.

Found this podcast at a time when I needed it the most. So grateful for you Tara Brach. Thank you Thank you Thank you

Tara’s talks and meditations are such a source of joy and peace for me every time I listen! Beyond grateful for her podcast!

It’s fine to call on israel for a ceasefire in gaza, but to not also call on hamas to unconditionally surrender is an intellectually dishonest position.

Such a great collection of meditations. Thank you for sharing!!

She is the real deal. She walks the walk. She soothes me and gets me closer to a place of peace and understanding. So grateful for her, her bravery, her voice, her backbone.

To address critiques of Dr. Brewer joining Tara on her podcasts—his extensive research is based on how to use mindfulness to interrupt unhelpful habits that keep us in the thoughts and behaviors that separate us from presence. Tara would call these false refuges: overeating, smoking, anxiety. This work is incredibly powerful and serves as a basis for awakening to presence. Dr. Brewer’s work has nothing to do with diet culture (or even dieting, really!) and he is not trying to sell anything. His work has helped me tremendously and is very much in line with discussions of spiritual awakening. Anyone who says differently does not have awareness of what this is really about.

I absolutely love Tara’s podcasts. I have been an avid listener for the last six years plus. She is a remarkable in her talks and podcasts. She weaves Buddhists teachings in such a way that it relates so aptly to our American daily lives. I liken her to a young Pema Chrodron. Both of these teachers are undoubtedly the best at really getting to the heart of people’s struggles in life. No doubt the best! The only guest I find problematic on her show and he has been on several times is Judson Brewer who on the latest podcast. I find it disheartening and upsetting that he uses mindfulness and Buddhism to market and sell his products. From his Eat Right Now app- which is a monthly subscription you pay for and is basically a diet to his books which are books on dieting and restricting. He advises eating only certain foods. He demonizes sugar and carbohydrates. He obviously has to market his book and go on his friend’s shows to help sell his book. In my opinion, I do not think dieting or concern about body weight, is connected to Buddhist teachings or as Tara’s calls it the two wings of mindfulness: self love and acceptance and compassion for yourself and others. With that said, I wholeheartedly recommend her podcast. If you struggle with restricted eating I highly suggest skipping this particular podcast.

My life has been moved and changed since I’ve started listening to Tara. Thank you for the light and love.

She is truly a gift to us all. Authentic, compassionate wisdom. Namaste.
