Meditations for Emotional Healing

GUIDED PRACTICES FOR WORKING WITH CHALLENGING EMOTIONS

Despite our best intentions, we often have trouble dealing effectively with strong emotions. What if you had a conscious, skillful way to respond in the face of anger, fear, jealousy, or shame? This cd set gives us a collection of insights and practices for bringing compassion, clarity, and understanding to our emotional lives- instead of expressing or repressing emotions in unhealthy ways. Drawing on her background in clinical psychology and three decades teaching medicine, Tara Brach guides us through four powerful yet gentle meditations suitable for any level of experience:

* Arriving in Natural Presence- the foundational practice for working with difficult emotions and sensations
* The "Yes" Meditation- a liberating way to give space to the actuality of a sitation and foster emotional healing
* "RAIN" Meditation- a practice of deep inquiry for overcoming self-aversion and awakening to the truth of who we are
* Calling on Love- a heart-opening meditation for taking refuge in unconditional love

Tara Brach teaches that the root of our challenging emotions is the illusion of separation and inadequacy. What frees us is learning to trust the loving presence that is our very essence. This set enables us to come home to this presence in the face of internal strife and reclaim the vividness and perfection of life right here and now.
