    I am about 12 minutes in.
    It’s been a long time since I’ve connected with your energy, Tara.
    Im in tears.
    I’ve been on a 18 month or so dark night of the soul, into the deepest darkest recesses of my and the collective psyche.
    A huge lightbulb I had this morning was how the things I’m most terrified of are the things I most want and need.
    Specifically this morning it was around physical touch and community.
    This video is helping me move through the deep fear and pain from being bullied and feeling unsafe around other humans, so I can go to an event today that I know will be extremely nourishing to my soul.
    And also just thank you for your kindness and heart in general.
    ♥️

    Why aren’t more therapists like you? The wounding for me was compounded every time I sought help. They just made it worse. I’m so encouraged by this. This is the first video of yours I’ve encountered and I feel like a piece of my soul was restored indeed.

    I'm so grateful to have found you. You are the only safe space in this world that I have ever found, Few can know what it's like. I'm not speaking of having to live without a safe space. But to have lived 61 years and only now finding one. For those of use who have lost the ability to access faith, The absolute cherry is that you also have skin on.... ;-). Bending the knee for the smiles today as well.

    My dear Tara, you are my teacher since such a long time. I would wish you would have so much more people knowing you and listening to you. To be honest. Your teachings were always trauma sensitive oriented. You never had to name it as such (even you did it always) but your whole tender, catious, loving teachings, your own way you are sharing are always with us in your satsangs and teachings are trauma sensitive. What I can sign is, that ONLY mindfulness and self compassion meditations and RAIN and Radical Acceptance works for me in the past with a komplex PTBS in my past. The restlessness was the point I could "pick up better" by MBSR and radical acceptance, by observing an object instead meditating in silence. Thank you for you path and your heartwarming sharing your loving awareness and wisdom with us. I love you Tara.

I struggle with PTSD- but not as much your work, your meditations, (and my therapist) have brought me a long way Tara. Blessings upon Blessings to you. I made a small donation to your work. Once I get my money back up, I will donate more.

    Dear Tara, Big metta for your gift of tools for understanding and healing. I was recently diagnosed with CPTSD and am working with a women's trauma counselor, doing regular yoga, and slowly getting back into my Vipassna practice. This morning I found this teaching and had tears of relief during the closing meditation. I also found my grandmother as a comforting, loving, safe, person to be with; to go to and breathe when feelings are deeply felt. Namaste kind Teacher, and I will share this video with my counselor as we work with somatic body work and imagery.

    I've found it interesting that I have been able to meditate deeply, at times experiencing profound levels of peace and even ecstasy. Definitely beyond everyday intellectual understanding. And then when I 'come back to Earth', my life has generally been a nightmare. Now I'm beginning to understand that I need to put some conscious effort into healing some fairly heavy-duty trauma that I've been dealing with most of my life. It sounds easy to do, but can be very difficult, esp. living in a traumatic environment.
    Then there are other realms, such as paying back karmic debts, and what Li Hongzhi calls reverse cultivation.
    Life on this planet is continually blowing my mind when I realize there are deeper levels of reality and it can take some time to figure out how to juggle it all without going bananas.

    I loved listening to this. Thank you. I struggle with non physical self regulation. I tend to use EFT or self soothing touch. I had my first ketamine treatment today and I could not physically self sooth. Need to practice more mantras and visionary comforts. “I’m ok. I’m safe” helped but it was a struggle. Thank you for making me feel hopeful. I cried a lot and learned so much about my own self avoidance. I’m on a mission to heal my chronic pain and depression.

    Thank you, I daily tolerate a gas furnace & its revolutions and others needs for constant TV news and TV shows. It is definitely been an extreme adaptation when they need it. Thank you so much for an hour of meditative reminders of how to endure others' life choices. My feelings are considered not relevant by some here. However, I try to stay out of the way. My mom regularly reminds me that since they are elderly w arthritic complaints that I need to keep out of their way. Full tilt somatic anticipatory grief because one individual is in renal failure, the other person has COPD. It is causing extreme angst and loss of autonomy. It's put me into retreat aka withdrawal vs action & interdependence. Although yesterday I drove safely alone to a medical appointment and updated all my vaccinations so feeling fairly relieved as disabled woman.

Its kind of hard to articulate. Ive got one guided meditation for sleep that took me 30+ years to find, except i dont know what that would be called so that I can find more. I listen to it every night for 4 months. Would like to try more

    How do you deal with PTSD when you don’t feel shame and know it’s not your fault? I don’t feel those things, yet keep reliving things and get stuck in paralyzing fear. My trauma nearly led to my death and so every trigger feels like I am back on that place, the verge of death. To say I feel unsafe is an understatement. But I do not feel guilty, I do not feel shame, I do not feel worthless, etc

The actual quote is "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in". 🙏♥️
