  • Radical Self-Forgiving - Tara Brach [2023-10-11]
    When we can’t forgive ourselves, we remain imprisoned and separate from our world. This talk explores forgiving as a process of relaxing open the clenched fist of self-blame. As forgiving becomes deep and full, we discover the freedom of a spacious, awake and loving heart.

    I find forgiving myself very difficult. Many years ago I behaved very badly and was cruel to a very good man. I don't recognise the person I was then. Like the woman in the story I had a terrible childhood. I have asked the man for forgiveness and he says he forgives me but then when we communicate he brings what happened up. He is now happily married to someone else and I am now old, 70, and alone. I don't want to feel self-pity but do work on forgiveness and kindness to myself. And I am glad he is happy. But I find living with myself hard. I live with failure like others live with backache. However, thank you Tara I wish I could see you in person. Xxx

      You had a terrible childhood and broke the chain of intergenerational trauma by recognising what you did wrong and healing. It takes a huge amount of courage, you should be proud of yourself and just for this you deserve your forgiveness. You don’t recognise the person you were because you are not that person anymore, you just happen to inhabit the same body. And the fact you are alone now doesn’t mean you will be forever. 💪🏻🤗

      Solitude is a divine cocoon, so needed by lots of humans in late years. Even in groups or pairs, you see elders within themselves with no need to babble, be someone special, get admiration or entertain. I'm 10 yrs younger than you but sooo relieved for the divine rest of some solitude. It's a blessed time to sort things, see for the 1st time, recycle the debris of old illusions & dumb goals, & get weaned of expecting paradise on this planet. I also communicate with the departed, as i now understand & love them so much. They will help you. And there's trees & wildflowers to plant, even in a pot, & wildlife/ birds needing a platter of fresh water, daily. A good way to bow to God & all our fellow suffering beings.

    I found this meditation difficult at first, with so much pain arising. But after the RAIN, I feel at peace for the first time in many years. Thank you, dear Tara, for your understanding and compassion ❤

    I am listening to your videos... i hang on for dear life... i often think of ending it all... after a life of trauma from childhood... living alone and lonely because i am scared of people... i dont want to be hurt anymore... i am 49 years old and never lived my own life... looking after my parents my whole life during their cancer struggles... Never had my own children or family. Giving up everything for them because i loved them. Now that both have passed ... 8 years later i really struggle... i dont know how to live without them... they were my family, my rock. Now i am all alone... i have stumbled on these videos out of total desperation ... to hang on to life... We all want to belong somewhere... i have always felt i belong nowhere... since my life was so different... i just dont know how to find my place in this world all on my own... after sexual child abuse, my father had schizophrenia and mum struggling with depression and could never understand my dads illness... I have looked past his illness and loved my father for the beautiful soul he was... Now i am struggling with depression... My core family is dead... i have major trust issues because of what happened to me as a child... i can't cope without medication... I just want this sadness to go away... i just want to belong somewhere... i dont want to be alone anymore... i just need to get peace in my soul... if i can't reach a place like that... i can't see why to go on... every day i listern to this videos with the hope to hold on... to get the strength to go on...

      With this meditation and others like it, we can grow into a sense of belonging to ourselves, and in ourselves. Then that opens the way for peace. I wish you that journey. It's worth it. ❤

    There are no bad dogs. There are only good dogs who made bad choices.
    The mind creates the abyss which the heart crosses.
    You are more than the worst mistake you ever did.

    My inner judge said i must suffer the punishment of my transgressions. Until i have served my time, I'm not allowed to ve forgiven or feel okay.
    And who decided how long and how much suffering I need to go through? And to what end?
    The pain and suffering i have caused will not be inproved by my own further torment. Instead I must make amends, learn a hard lesson, and vow to move ever closer to my values and my own truth.

    It is a wonderful talk. Thank you very much for your teachings and your wisdom. I thought at first that I didn't need much self-forgiveness...but going deeper with the questions, I really had some difficult issues with self-blame to recognize. The meditation made me get in touch with those difficult emotions and will definitely go for more rounds. My prayers with people hurting due to war. ❤❤❤ 🙏

    I like this much better than the one with the man who knew everything and you so passive.
    I am
    Done
    Listen to
    Men as the wise ones.
    I have been challenged as a child as a mother and a grandmother.
    I can forgive my parents
    I can have compassion for and forgive myself
    I cannot be at peace with my daughter’s drug induced confusion that brings even more grief to my life.
