Beyond our turbulent thoughts and emotions lies a deep silence filled with boundless love. In this place of awareness, immense wisdom, and kindness, all the wealth and happiness we have long sought await us. Those who stubbornly, anxiously, and defiantly resist crises and losses only increase their suffering. By desperately, angrily, with self-contempt or addictive behavior plunging into old strategies of coping when our existence is shaken, when illnesses threaten our loved ones, or traumatic experiences torment us, we deepen the relentless pain. However, by saying yes to the fullness of life, heart peace emerges, and in our inner sanctuary, we find true refuge. Tara Brach knows the refuge of healing from her own profound therapeutic experience, and she helps to satisfy our longing by illuminating the path of awakening with spiritual teachings, guided meditations, and inspiring stories.
