Desire and Addiction: Voices of Longing Calling You Home, Part 2
Category: Music
Duration: 00:45:09

Description:

Desire is intrinsic to all living forms – the urge to exist and flourish. It turns to suffering when, due to unmet needs, it contracts, intensifies and separates us from our full aliveness and awareness. These two talks guide us in awakening from this trance, and discovering how within desire is the longing that can carry us to true belonging.

 

In this talk, Tara explores:

  • how the “wanting mind” pulls us away from presence and freedom.
  • how unmet needs fuel craving and why substitutes never bring lasting joy.
  • the suffering of identifying with desire and how mindfulness offers release.
  • using the RAIN practice to recognize, allow, and soften the wanting mind.
  • tracing back desire to discover love, belonging, and freedom already here.
