Cory & Kelly Explore Emotional Resilience in Adversity

Part 1: Refuge in the Wilderness - Coming Home to Embodied Presence (2017-06-28) - When we live from our mental control towers, we are in a trance that confines our life. These two talks look at the primary ways we are conditioned to leave embodied presence, and the consequence of unlived life—being cut off from our vitality, intelligence and compassion. We then explore the teachings and practices that guide us to reconnect to our senses, and the sacred presence that underlies all lived experience.

Your support enables us to continue to offer these talks freely. If you value them, I hope you will consider offering a donation at this time at www.tarabrach.com/donation/ [https://www.tarabrach.com/donation/].

The moment before letting go is when we grip the hardest. In this episode, Cory shares a story during his time in Burma where he surrendered fully and experienced the peace that came from it.
