True Refuge: Finding Peace And Freedom In Your Own Awakened Heart

When the difficulties and losses of life feel overwhelming, is there someplace we can turn for the safety, nurturing, and peace that we long for? Most of us are conditioned to react to our fear and confusion with judgment, control, addictive behaviors, or anger. Yet there is another way. "In any moment, no matter how lost we feel, we can take refuge in presence and love," teaches Tara Brach. On "Finding True Refuge," this renowned psychologist and meditation teacher offers you three sessions of spiritual teachings and practices for finding your way home to the inner sanctuary that is always available. Tara reveals how the three gateways of refuge - truth, love, and awareness - allow us to draw on our own deepest wisdom and offers eight guided meditations. With "Finding True Refuge," Tara Brach brings you essential practices for awakening to the aliveness within you and discovering that you can love this life - no matter what.
