    Meditation: Awareness is Our Home (21:40 min.)
    Apr 17 2025

    This guided practice helps us come into our senses through a body scan. We then rest in the awareness that is listening to and feeling the changing flow of experience. When the mind drifts, the return is a relaxing back to our senses, and to the sea of awareness that includes and experiences the waves of life.

  • Realizing True Well-Being, Part 2

    Realizing True Well-Being, Part 2
    Apr 10 2025

    Buddhist psychology and the Western oriented field of positive psychology agree: How we pay attention determines whether we live primarily in fear and judgment, or happiness and peace. This two-part series explores the teachings, practices and attitudes that enable us to live a meaningful life with a heart that is “happy for no reason.”

    In this talk, Tara explores:

    • how cultivating a grateful, devoted heart opens us to presence, peace, and joy beyond circumstance.
    • the "infinite field of possibility"—our capacity to incline the mind toward hope, love, and inner freedom.
    • how mindfulness and compassionate action form a virtuous cycle that nurtures deep well-being and belonging.
    • ways that serving others and savoring beauty reconnect us with the sacredness of life and the fullness of who we are.
    • awakening from the trance of unworthiness through practices like metta, gratitude, and receiving love with an open heart.

  • Guided Meditation: Loving This Life - Happiness - Metta (17:05 min.)

    Guided Meditation: Loving This Life - Happiness - Metta (17:05 min.)
    Apr 10 2025

    This guided meditation, grounded in the practice of Metta, invites us to awaken the heart by softening the body and quieting the mind. We begin with the simple image of a smile—opening to warmth, ease, and presence.

    With a tender attention, we rest with breath, sensations, and sound—gently returning when the mind drifts. As we offer loving phrases like “May I feel happy” and “May I be free,” we nourish a deep sense of well-being and connection, embracing this life with compassion and an open heart.

Peace in a podcast

Tara’s delivery and humor help to process our human experience, ancient wisdom & humor. I notice in times of heightened anxiety or stress in my life, that listening to this podcast soothes the anxious mind & body, and aids in purging the tension & replaced with strategies, meditation, knowledge, all very easily digestible. Tara drops wisdom & draws connection in a way that is so applicable to our modern world.
