Releasing the Habits that Imprison Your Spirit, Part 2 - Tara Brach [2023-05-17]
Addictions of all levels of intensity arise from disconnection and are spiking globally. Humans are experiencing epidemic levels of loneliness, and this combined with engineered products and substances that are highly addictive leads to great suffering. In these two talks, we explore how we get hooked on behaviors that we know cause harm, and how mindfulness and self-compassion can serve our freedom. Key to this process is reconnecting with our inner life, and remembering we are in this together, awakening together.

I was telling a friend about this video. I was telling him, you are my teacher, meditator, mindfulness instructor. And then finally said, you are my angel. You have helped me on my healing journey and is so indescribable that, angel is the perfect one word. Namaste Tara 🙏🏻🪷

Im so grateful to have found your channel recently. I watched part 1 yesterday, and Im starting part 2 now. I'm a recovering meth addict and you pretty much hit it on the bullseye, we go to meetings to connect and help eachother stay clean. I look forward to seeing more of your content as it seems to really resonate with me. These videos are no small thing, I mean you had my undevided attention for an hour in early meth recovery, thats a miracle. Love and Graditude.

Thank you for this talk. I decided to use the word adiction to a bad habit i have more than 20 years. I had treed to stop and everytime i fail was very hard on mezelf… Now i know the cause…. The desconection de imposibility to communicate. I didnt know how important is to see the why.. I wil try again in different way. Not just wilpower. Thank you very much for your help.😊❤

Relationships are tricky. I have an acquaintance who is giving me the silent treatment, and it is really stressful and upsetting. We know people need people & when this type of stuff happens, guess I need to find my tribe. That’s the hard part. Yes, I am addicted to the substitute . You explained it beautifully!

@mare2723 Жыл бұрын

You hurt those of us that don’t have friends when you say those kinds of things. It’s really hard to be this alone. People assume that people have friends and family. That assumption does a lot of damage and could even be fatal in some cases.

I have been alone a lot lately and am not into being with others. Connection to something greater (even just getting out into the woods, the beach, a park, or connecting with an animals) than self alone...I have found is very helpful. I hope you will find ways to feel less alone. 🙏🙏

Greetings. Bonding!? Took me that bc that's so what I want with OTHERS, with MYSELF. As a African in America dying for a community of people to belong to on this wellness journey yet full of SO MUCH that keeps me from even trying to step out and find them, even not being able to listen when they have been presented to me. I could very well have missed this person or that group bc I was listening or able to hear. Bonding with sweats, substances and media instead yet ti know the health declines and falsehoods in these relations ships. Fear....is gripping. Bless

There is an expression in 12 step circles. We will love you until you can love yourself. Most drug and alcohol addicts cannot sober up alone. Asking for help and accepting that help is key to sobriety.

I appreciate your focus on self compassion. That said, AA, NA and other 12-step programs are HIGHLY triggering for many who have tried them. Would be easier to hear your message if you didn't refer to 12 step programs. Perhaps you can refer to them anonymously. 😉

12 step programs programs have been profoundly helpful to me. It's not so much the steps or the spiritual program, it's the fellowship and love that I've experienced. I think we receive what we are willing to give.

Hi everyone, how great is Tara!! She can sometimes use phrases that unless one is steeped in this type of thing are a complete mystery to me. 'Shame' was one - I pretty much get it now- and the one I don't really understand here is 'self aversion'. What the heck is self aversion please lol Can someone define it for me please? Thanks.

is it possible to be addicted to being self-hating Tara? I don’t seem to go to a behaviour that brings any relief but have an unbelievable propensity to be negative towards myself.

@humbleseekeroftruthwisdom6063 Жыл бұрын

It may be a way of “cutting yourself“, as I used to do in a kind of addiction, although mine was thinking, bad thoughts about myself, nothing physical. It can be a bad story about ourselves, that we keep telling ourselves over and over, perhaps a form of self-pity, maybe sit down and write out the worst thoughts about yourself, and then counter them with ever so slightly better thoughts about yourself. Even a little upliftment, I have found, can change your mood for the better. One of the mistakes I have made is comparing myself to othersAnd feeling that I got the short end of the stick. I am learning that it is my choice How do I think about myself.
