Basic Meditation: breath and sounds

This offers a means to be with yourself no matter what, supporting you to sense into those hurt, tender etc parts.  Because it was offered live, it has a little background sound of college life .... I believe well worth staying with this to receive the gifts!

Many of us struggle to silence our inner critic on a daily basis. According to meditation teacher Tara Brach, that’s because we are living in a “trance of unworthiness,” and are addicted to self-judgment. Tara is the the founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, D.C., a best-selling author, and a clinical psychologist who has been at the forefront of blending Buddhist meditation and therapeutic methods. She is perhaps best known for her teachings on RAIN, an acronym that stands for Recognize, Acceptance, Investigation, and Nurturing, and that describes a method for applying mindfulness to difficult emotions. In her new book, Radical Compassion, she focuses on using RAIN to cultivate compassion—beginning with compassion for ourselves.

Following the breath helps focus the mind and bring you back to the present moment. We can drop out of the thinking, planning, worrying, fantasizing, problem-solving mind, down into the calm of the breath and body.
