Despite our best intentions, we often have trouble dealing effectively with strong emotions. What if you had a conscious, skillful way to respond in times of anger, fear, jealousy, shame, and other powerful emotions? Meditations for Emotional Healing gives us a collection of insights and practices for bringing compassion, clarity, and understanding to our emotional lives--instead of expressing or repressing them in unhealthy ways. Leading meditation teacher and clinical psychologist Tara Brach guides us through a transformative series of exercises to cultivate greater self-acceptance and emotional liberation. Meditations include: How to work with trauma, fear, and shame - Forgiveness meditation - Compassion meditation - Invoking loving presence in the face of difficulty - The power of yes As Tara puts it, - When we touch what is painful with awareness, the armoring around our heart melts and we become more tender and kind. Meditations for Emotional Healing is an invitation to return to our natural state at peace with what is, energetically whole, and spiritually free.

I have been a fan of Tara Brach since I first listened to Tara Brach's Radical Acceptance series. This group of meditations really get to the core of finding peace in the face of emotional pain. We learn, through relevant stories and insights told before each meditation, how to begin the process of accepting our difficult emotions rather than fighting them. And, believe me, the relief when we stop fighting is immense. If I could, I would give this product ten stars. This is not all new agey, with waves and streams playing in the background. This is the real deal for people who want to start to like themselves better and find some peace in challenging times. (And when is it NOT a challenging time?)

This CD was very helpful to me. Anyone working on themselves and trying to deal with past pain and sadness will find a great deal of help being open and listening to this. I have found all of Tara Brach's works are excellent. PPA from W Yarmouth, MA

Well done. I love Tara's book Embracing Your Life With The Heart of Buddha (or something close to that title?) and that is why I was motivated to purchase this (that and the fact that Belleruth Naparstek gave it a good review and I trust her judgment completely). This was definitely worth the price.

For those of us on the path and needing more relaxed balanced strength and attention to just living now, this is great find.

a little disappointed
this is an okay cd, but it's not what i'd hoped for. the meditations seem kind of dry, and it is difficult to really get into them.

epic disappointment
Lots of lecturing but hardly any actual guided meditation. Also she talks quite fast and this makes it harder to understand what she is saying. Read more

Help with healing my grief
The meditation that asks you to say yes to your grief instead of trying to push it away is amazing in its healing benefits.

Soothing voice, down-to-earth self-help
I've listened to this CD several times while driving. Since it's not fiction (with a plot that would get interrupted too often in city driving), it works fine for me to even just... Read more

almost as good as going to a therapist
I bought this after reading Tara Brach's book, "Radical Acceptance". Both are excellent. This is an excellent way to practice some of her techniques. I still use it. Read more
