Shawn is on retreat this weekend, so Theresa from "i want what SHE has" is stepping in. Happy International Women's Day everyone! Today we practice a little mindfulness and then...oh yes, we're going to face our fears! Here's the blog post I referenced on fear.
We listen to Tara Brach's talk, "Facing Fear: Awakening Your Fearless Heart." Here is the first part of Tara Brach's talk of which we listen up to minute 34. Her talk continues, going into utilizing RAIN as a process for working through fears. RAIN was something discussed in earlier shows and was mentioned in Dan Harris's book, Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. As a reminder or introduction, RAIN stands for:
- R – Recognize what is happening
- A – Allow life to be just as it is
- I – Investigate inner experience with kindness
- N – Non-Identification.
Here's the second part of Tara's two session talk on fear.
In honor of women and the divine feminine, we meditate on our gratitude for the Divine Feminine and cultivate an awareness for the Feminine that exists within us while listening to the song "Devi Prayer" by Craig Pruess and Ananda.
