Part 2 - Radical Compassion - Loving Ourselves and Our World into Healing

Listen to this episode from Tara Brach on Spotify. Drawn from Tara’s book, Radical Compassion (2020), these three talks explore how the RAIN practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) awakens the active, embodied caring that heals and frees our hearts. Through the framework of this practice, we look at how we can reconnect with the gold of our true nature, navigating life’s challenges with mindfulness and love.   In Part 2, Tara explores: How unmet needs and emotional reactivity block authentic connection in relationships. The "limbic controller" and its strategies, such as blame, avoidance, and pretending, that create distance in relationships. The transformative power of the RAIN practice in healing relational patterns and fostering deeper intimacy. The importance of recognizing the "goodness behind the mask" in ourselves and others to bridge separation. Stories and reflections that illustrate the healing potential of Radical Compassion in even the most challenging relationships.
