Radical Acceptance: Buddhist Practices for Healing Difficult Emotions
Tara Brach, PhD
One of the deepest forms of suffering in our culture is the pain of feeling that "something is wrong with me." Whether in the shape of chronic judgment, anxiety, depression, or addictive behavior, feelings of deficiency prevent us from living and loving fully. Buddhist mindfulness practices and heart meditations awaken us from the trance of unworthiness. These practices of radical acceptance relax the grip of our human insecurity and allow us to realize the loving awareness that is our very essence. CE credit available.
