Open-Hearted Presence

This practice establishes a kind attention by bringing the imagery and felt sense of a smile into the body scan and then, with the breath as a home base, opens the attention to changing experience. We end with a brief loving kindness reflection.

Tara, I can’t express how grateful I am for your meditations, helping me to dwell in loving presence again and again, thank you so much!

Thank you from Brussels for this meditation very soft and opening the heart ❤️

🙂 I always feel such warmth and compassion in Tara's meditations. I love this one. The whole being smile is a powerful thing.

Loved this meditation! I really enjoyed the joy and relaxation that became amplified throughout the meditation. Thank you!

Tara's meditations are always wonderful. Thank you.

Love the image of the smile floating into the universe. Open, receptive, and good natured

Beautiful meditation, just be ready to jump right in as soon as it starts, meaning be seated and take some breaths then press play. I really loved this one, thank you Tara.

Me he sentido en estado de Amor en esta meditación 🙏

I always love Tara’s meditations. Such a gentle, compassionate and loving voice of an experienced teacher

Though my life is full and practice is hard, the continuous reminder to extend grace to myself and return to the present moment, left me feeling grounded…and present to this moment.

So beautiful!! I loved the smile in the sky especially - thanks!

Wonderful mediation! My new favorite. Tara has a wonderful loving presence and calm voice and tone that takes you into a deep warm happy meditation space.

Beautiful to start the new year with. Thank you. Blessed 🙏❤️

Thank you Tara. I, so appreciate your meditations and the sense of calm I get from listening to you. Be well and be safe!

Sublimely beautiful. Very grateful for this morning exercise. Namaste.

Beautiful meditation!
Thank you 🙏

Beautiful practice. Thank you 🙏

Very comforting like always. I always feel my back and shoulders much more flexible after Dr. Tara Brach's guided meditations. The stress we hold in these areas can be released through exercise and meditation and Dr. Brach knows exactly how to breathe in the calm and breathe out the stress.

A gentle, kind and loving meditation- thank you Tara. 🙏
