This two part series explores how we regularly leave our body and skim life’s surface in a mental trance, and the ways we can train our attention to come home again. We look at working with physical and emotional pain, and the gifts of love, wisdom, creativity and aliveness that arise as we learn to fully inhabit these living forms and all our senses with awareness.
In this talk, Tara explores:
- how embodied presence awakens love, creativity, and wisdom—inviting us to meet life’s moments with full attention and an open heart.
- the universal tendency to leave our bodies when discomfort arises, and how returning to direct sensation reconnects us to aliveness.
- practical ways to stay present with physical and emotional pain, transforming “pain” into the changing flow of sensation.
- mindful strategies like pendulating between ease and discomfort, softening resistance, and “resting in love” to reduce suffering.
- how waking up in the body opens a portal to mystery, dissolving the small self and revealing our true nature as vast awareness.
