Summary

Embodied Presence: Portal to the Sacred – Part 2 - This two part series explores how we regularly leave our body and skim life’s surface in a mental trance, and the ways we can train our attention to come home again. We look at working with physical and emotional pain, and the gifts of love, wisdom, creativity and aliveness that arise as we learn to fully inhabit these living forms and all our senses with awareness.

Your support enables us to continue to offer these talks and meditations freely. If you value them, I hope you will consider offering a donation at this time at www.tarabrach.com/donation/.

With gratitude and love, Tara

1:06.7	And the last class was an exploration of waking up into these bodies in our senses fully
1:15.8	with the understanding that we often live a bit removed from our body.
1:19.2	So how to be more alive, really here in our bodies.
1:22.9	I'd like to continue that in this class.
1:26.2	How this mindfulness of the body of our senses really is the portal to full presence, to
1:35.2	living from wholeness.
1:37.6	And I thought one of the things just to say is that everything that we most value in our
1:46.6	life, whether it's love or creativity or wisdom, feeling fully vibrant, is only available
