Cultivating A Kind Attention

Using the image and felt sense of a smile, we scan through the body, and awaken a sense of aliveness, presence and tenderness. The practice then extends to mindfully include all sounds, sensations, and feelings; and when difficult experience arises, to intentionally offer care. We close with an offering of loving kindness to our own being, to others who are suffering and to all life everywhere.

The smile is the embodiment of ease and contentment, so interesting that it just instantly works, it's easier to envision a body part smiling than it is to tell it to relax.

❤️🙏 thank you for your healing voice and the wisdom of your words.

TB is one of the best. Simple, direct, guiding, presence without judgement. Accepting every thought like a just another wave in the ocean.

My favorite Tara meditation so far. It can be helpful when there is something you need help with, some emotional state or other difficulty. The smile energy imagery is wonderful. It covers so much in 19 minutes.

wonderful guided meditation. as always, Tara is a wise and kind guide to our true nature
