She covers practices that give entry into an inner sanctuary: truth, love, and awareness. She also offers eight guided meditations on mindfulness, releasing fear through self-compassion, and letting go of the desire for control and certainty, and cultivating a forgiving heart.
Many serious people today are looking for refuge in this world of loss and destruction. Their quest is not to escape from reality but to learn how to live with fear and confusion in healthy life-affirming ways. Tara Brach provides excellent guidance on this path.
