Welcome to Episode 17 of the Soulful Practices Podcast!
This week, Michelle delves into the insightful teachings of Tara Brach, a leading meditation teacher, psychologist, and author. Tara’s impactful quote challenges our perception of pain:
“Pain is not wrong. Reacting to pain as wrong initiates the trance of unworthiness. The moment we believe something is wrong, our world shrinks and we lose ourselves in the effort to combat the pain.”
In this episode, Michelle shares:
Setting the Intention: Shift your response to pain from judgment to compassion, using mindful practices to nurture your well-being.
Reflective Practices: Utilize the RAIN technique—Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Nurture—to engage with pain in a loving and compassionate way.
Guided Awareness: Break free from the trance of unworthiness by embracing compassion and loving-kindness in the face of pain.
Join the conversation, share your thoughts, and connect with us on our social channels to explore ideas, tips, and practices that resonate with you. We look forward to supporting you on your journey to holistic healing and spiritual growth.
