Tara Brach: Embracing Kindness and Awareness on The One You Feed
The deepest thing, though, is your intention- and I really encourage us all to, at the beginning of every- whether it's an interview like this or a meditation sitting or being with somebody- to just remember what about this really matters to me, because our heart is a compass.
Ever felt like fear is running the show? In this re-released episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Tara Brach, a clinical psychologist and meditation teacher, about how to shift from fear to kindness and awareness. They dive into the famous parable of the two wolves and discuss practical ways to feed your 'good wolf'. Tara shares her wisdom on staying present, exploring different types of meditation, and finding what resonates with you.
The conversation touches on dealing with depression, understanding the 'second arrow', and moving beyond intellectual understanding to a place of timeless awareness and heart.

This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt insights for anyone seeking inner peace and a kinder approach to life.
