In this guided meditation, we are invited to rest in the aliveness of the present moment. Beginning with a reflection on intention, the practice guides attention through the body—softening, sensing, and allowing life to flow just as it is. https://youtu.be/H9T-0gggkhY

Brief Survey: How is Your Heart Meeting the World?
tbrach.com/Survey
We naturally encounter challenges in our personal lives, but rarely has our collective psyche faced such a surge of emotional suffering as we are experiencing now.
During these times of global crises, it means a great deal to hear from you—to sense how your heart is meeting the world.
While surveys are limited and imperfect tools, they can still offer meaningful glimpses and insight. I hope you’ll take a few quiet moments to reflect and respond to the questions we’re asking.
The survey will take no more than 3-5 minutes of your time, and your reflections will help me attune more deeply and shape the teachings I offer. Thank you in advance for what you share!
With love and deep gratitude,
Tara

In this two-part series, we reflect on the power of devotion as a gateway to awakening that reconnects us with what we love most deeply. Together, we’ll look at how prayer and heartfelt longing can open us to the intrinsic experience of belonging we yearn for. Especially in these times of fear and division, cultivating our natural devotion helps us soften, remember our true nature, and realign with love.
