Your Nervous System Is Being Hijacked. Here's How To Get It Back. | Tara Brach

The world is insane. You don't have to be. These Buddhist practices can help you handle it without succumbing to fear, anxiety, hatred, and apathy.

Tara Brach is a legendary meditation teacher and psychologist. She is the founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington and has been active in bringing meditation into schools, prisons and underserved populations. Her latest book is The Courageous Heart Workbook: Choosing to Love in Perilous Times.

In this episode we talk about:

What "spiritual audacity" means — and where the term comes from
Why shutting down emotionally feels like self-protection but isn't
How caring is a more effective fuel than rage
What lovingkindness meditation is — and how to do it
The RAIN practice — and how to use it on difficult emotions
Why small, local acts of service count as activism
How to use your imagination to feel compassion for people you can't stand
