Drawn from Tara’s book, Radical Compassion (2020), these three talks explore how the RAIN practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) awakens the active, embodied caring that heals and frees our hearts. Through the framework of this practice, we look at how we can reconnect with the gold of our true nature, navigating life’s challenges with mindfulness and love.
In Part 1, Tara explores:
- How the RAIN practice weaves mindfulness and compassion to release self-judgment and awaken our hearts.
- The story of the “golden Buddha” as a metaphor for discovering our inner radiance beneath protective layers.
- The shift from “I” to “We” as an essential movement toward connection and wholeness.
- The importance of self-compassion in transforming the trance of unworthiness and reconnecting with our true nature.
- Practical ways to bring mindful presence to our daily lives and relationships, creating space for healing and growth.
