- Tara Brach: Healing Depression with Meditation, Part 1 (2018/08/01)
Most people get depressed at times, and many suffer greatly from bouts of major depression. At the heart of the suffering is the experience of severed belonging-of being imprisoned in the pain of separation, unworthiness, unlovability and hopelessness. These two talks explore several meditation practices that reconnect us with our natural aliveness, openheartedness and awareness. They empower us to develop our inner resources, energize us to awaken, free us from rumination and remind us that we are not our depressive thoughts and feelings. The growing realization of the loving awareness that is our home heals the very roots of depression.

Thank you so much for this. I was born into the iraq war, neglected and abused my entire life & I’ve been trying so hard to feel better, I have a fear that my default self is a person who is in shock and frozen in time given that my foundational years have been spent confirming that. Years of therapy, medication, self medication, guided meditations, yoga & a cat later im still really really struggling. But yesterday I got a jasmine plant. I feel rooted & hopeful… my brain feels extra malleable. Thank you. Thank you thank you. To anyone reading this I love you and I see your suffering and your pain and i am here with you. and we’re all in this together ❤

Thank you for sharing this, I feel
Less alone in this part of my healing journey
Thank you. I relate.
I hope you find your peace soon ❤
"The loss of the unlived life" puts into words exactly how I have been feelign a majority of my life, I had a pretty visceral reaction to that. Mourning the person I coud gave been without CPTSD and significant childhood trauma. Finding your talks has been incredinly healing to my soul.

Wishing you healing and inner peace...
I've struggled with depression since before adolescence. It's amazing how pervasive and difficult it can be to treat. Eventually my issues became compounded and I couldn't deal with life unless I was high on something. Depression can and does lead to addiction. Now I'm living one day at a time and trying to stay healthy, balanced, and sane. Mindfulness is a pillar of my practice.
Just got a cancer diagnos today, and was struggling how to accept it.
It might kill me in time or not, something will eventually for sure,
Walked around later and saw people passing. Yes that one’s gonna die one day and that one, some still living birds flew by, not bothering about their coming death!
And then you Tara explaining it, I will get it! Thank you🙏
@@northernlight5106 Thank you meditation positive training in combination with hormonetreatement and radiation have turned things around my metastasis are shrinking, I will survive even my doctor beleives it now. Never ask for it or beleive in the bad prognosises, mine were bad,they are nocebo! My health is my right. My death in this life will come when Im ready for it, presumably 20 yrs from now, in the meantime I will continue to work for the common good
In the present! Namaste 🌷🙏
I'm so relieved to have found this talk. I'm at rock bottom right now and despite all of the inner work I've been doing, there has been so much resistance and grief. This has been a great comfort.
I am right where I need to be. I am on my path. I'm so glad for RUclips because I would not have stumbled upon Tara, Thank you. I hope to be taught by Tara Brach one day as I am walking the path of healing others.
I'm so old now
..my life has slipped away..

I’m suffering with depression. It is hard for me to pull myself out of the negative thoughts. Now I learned how to notice the thoughts(I don’t have to believe them) and bring myself back to presence. This episode has so much insights and aspirations. Thank you so much, Tara! I’m so grateful to you 🙏🙏❤️❤️!
The loss of never having children and coming into full acceptance with that. Sharing peace with my grief.
Im from the future. Thank you for this. I keep coming back to Tara's video. Im so grateful 🙏
That gave me a lot to think about. I'll have to listen to it again to let it all sink in. The quote at the end about "why are you in prison when the doors are open" really hit home for me. Stay blessed Ms. Brach. You are gifted.
Wow! I can't believe this beautiful lady is 68 years old!!! Granted this was 3 years ago! She was 65! Thank you Tara for being such a beautiful role model!
Tara has obviously had Botox or other cosmetic work. She is beautiful.
Your soothing, loving voice has helped me often, Tara. I spent one painful afternoon in bed just listening to these videos on autoplay. It was all the energy I could muster in deep, dark depression.
I love your soothing voice, Tara
She’s such a healer!!
I love your sense of humor Tara! You so wonderfully shorten the learning curve. You make enlightenment a kind journey.
Tara you're compassion and gentle lovingness has provided such comfort and helped me travel safely through life's painful experiences many many times. Thankyou blessed one for helping to steer me towards my true path once again. I'm truly grateful✨🙏🌈✨
So much WISDOM in your words. So much LOVEin your heart. Thank God for your presence, whatever that God is. Love, T
Tara, i want to thank you for your calm presence in my reality. I feel blessed to have insight from your meditation sessions. Namastai
I can hear you Tara. Good feeling.
So incredibly helpful. I paused the video throughout the practices to give myself more time and space to feel the answers to Tara’s questions come up within me.
Thank you for this talk. Depression is suffering. Spiral down thinking is the root of the issue and self limiting beliefs feed off our negative thoughts. It’s the hardest thing to go through but the way you explained makes it more tolerable. Honing in on connection is key like you mentioned
Thank you for this Tara. The way you speak about depression puts words to feelings I've felt for so long. I cried on-and-off for the whole video. I hope to free up that "log jam" and be my fullest self one day.
You are absolutely amazing. I lost my daughter 3 years ago. This all makes sense.
Tara Brach is so wise and loving 😊
Thanks you Tara, for giving us your words !!
I will say firmly that without antidepressants and anti anxiety meds, I would not be here today. Is it a perfect life? No. But I have huge gratitude.
I'm treatment resistant so meds don't help :(
Bless you Tara. You are a gift to the world and have helped me so much over the years. Thank you xxx
Thank you, so so much Dr Tara for these words, and simple compassionate outlines and for these practices ~ the whole world, after these last long lonely disconnected locked down months make this even more relevant. ♡ Thank yoj so so much for sharing this for us to find on youtube because I never even knew where to start to look for help when that dark cloud dog slinks in again. ♡
Yes, it is all in the mix!
This is so very helpful 🌷 Thank you so very much 💗
Namaste Tara. Thank you so much for offering hope. As a person on medication I used to wonder how I could traverse the spiritual path, if at all. Your words give me hope.
Yes. Your voice is very soothing. Thank you for all the work that you do.
Thanks so much for sharing your insightful teachings. Your are making a big difference in the world.
Thank you Tara ❤️
log jam is a great analogy
My therapist sent me here and I’m glad he did. Your voice is so soothing Tara.
Thank you thank you Tara Brach . so much deep appreciation for these talks you give! P.S> Not sure if ya'll know this ? on a side note to the Sound Tech's , "maybe" adjusting the treble will eliminate the high pitch S's and T's ? please forgive me if i have stepped out of bounds . Namaste love and kind thoughts

Amazing
This talk has changed my life. Thank you
Thanks!
Some of it is genetic plus trauma from childhood and I am in major depression and generalized anxiety disorder again with underlying depression and I am on meds that only helps a little after trying many meds and I still fear moving forward and the loss that comes with aging.
Thank you that was very helpful
Observe, observe observe and dont attach and react
Thank you 🙏
People that suggest meditation or exercise for depression are also people that never had depression.
Untrue. I have had horrible (suicidal ideation and the whole nine yards) depression... and also dismissed meditation, yoga etc.
Sure, meds can be used as a bridge...but often the root causes aren't truly treated and healed.
In depression there is rumination and many cognitive distortions, which actually perpetuate neurotransmitters that create more issues. Meditation, yoga, mindfulness, can change the neurotransmitters...as well as tap into the neuroplasticity of the brain for change. You can absolutely rewire the brain and make it less prone to depression.
I'm doing better than I was on meds. I meditate daily, yoga with Adriene daily....as well as studied the neuroscience behind it.
There has been research that shows the brain changes, inflammatory changes, microbiome changes, gut/brain axis changes, neurotransmitter changes. It is possible.
Beautiful
Listened to another postcast by Tara Brach and it was very good. This one I had to stop after few min as the voice is so monotone that it became almost irritating to listen to it.
And when the answer to what do you want if you have just one month left to you is I DON'T KNOW??? :(
The kingdom of god is within you Jesus
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for mentioning that you don’t support inflicting suffering in animals when studying them. Part of my depressionstems from the injustices we inflict on non humans for human benefit.
❤
Depression can have so numerous causes, so odds for finding a cure is like finding a needle in a haystack. And then there is the issue with what is the cause of its cause and so on. Sometimes the cause is as simple as a vitamin deficiency....

I have always referenced Eeyore for just that reason…..
I love your teachings but as a therapist I disagree with some of your perspectives on depression. But don't claim to be an expert so sitting with my own desire for the right path of healing. We are all on our own journey and no one holds THE truth.
I don't have the time stamp where she claims to have "the truth"...can you elucidate?
She does have a doctorate in clinical psychology and her dissertation was on meditation for eating disorders. She's not heading in Willy-Nikki with this information.
Additionally, be careful of your own cognitive distortions, the lenses, in which you digest her info. She never says meditation is the only way, and will help all cases of depression.
She supports medication and other realms, as adjunctive therapies...a bridge of course, but still does not completely dismiss them.
Unfortunately, too many over rely on meds and don't address the deep healing, which includes the holding space, presence (that is found often with things like meditation).
Being open and inquiring, to how/why, she came to her conclusions is important to clarity.
I think your talk is exceptional and I enjoy hearing it but I have to say I'm getting extremely attracted and frustrated with the people behind you on the left side that keep popping out because I keep looking at them and I'll lose the focus on what you're talking about
No one ever talks about the american diet which is void of nutrient that affect the brain
They sadly did studies with orphans meeting basic needs silently and coldly to some.
When Tara says major depression is "50%" inheritable, and its "genetics", that is a deceiving statistic. Yes, it necessarily implies that there's an increased likelihood, or potentiality, within your physical structuring, but this only means that the person needs to put even greater effort into transforming themselves into a more resilient mind and body. How else do you think humans differentiate themselves over time into the various phenotypes there are? It's not merely environmental - but its the combination of environment, and the transformation of self/mind that leads to the assimilation of transcendental capacities for self-regulation. What does this mean? It means that the epigenetic systems of the mind-with-other-selves, as well as the intercellular signals and intracellular mechanisms of genetic regulation, can effectively change genome function over time. This is what the science shows, and is also what Denis Noble or Terrence Deacon, both theoreticians of biological function, argue to bet the case: that the genome is just a passive "register" of organism-environment couplings. The job of the disordered mind is to change the genome as much as possible, so that the being of the organism expresses a more 'ideal' relationship to external and internal realities.
Pls meds last last

About blessed window guy, I just put a piece of wide black tape over the left edge of my screen. Same thing as when I get a check engine light.

If prozac would make Marx embrace Capitalism that is a drug I will NEVER take.
The red shirt shadow guy in the window is distracting once i noticed him.
Stopped at 9:04.
To me, only the beginning, with the pretty scenery, the music, and tittle were interesting.
Found nothing helpful to me from listening to that rambling on.
'll reconnect some other time, maybe.
Mouth sounds...
Many would have died if it wasn't for anti depressants. I have severe ocd and THATS NOT CLEANING. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them.
The whole journey for healing is not one thing, one thing cannot be the panacea. It's always a mixture. Mindfulness alone too cannot heal depression.
Don't no why I feel angry listening to this... I'm hoping it will pass as I go through it and I enquire.
Oh of course. Antidepressants have helped a lot, but you do realize they are an epiphenomenon of the materialistic culture we grow through - yes? If our culture were more spiritual, the messages we would be receiving, and the force of their suggestibility, would be to make people far more resilient than they presently are.
This truth can be hard to wrap your mind around, because the minds of most people is so structured by the cultural reference points around them, but if you read my post (the most recent since yours), the world is actually designed to push human beings towards points of self-transcendence. But the transcendence, as Brach notes, is not a personal, solitary transcendence, but a transcendence that is simultaneously intrapsychic and intersubjective. A solitary transcendence, if it happens, is usually rare; whereas a transcendence that is coupled with other peoples is strong, and resilient, and robust, because our physical bodies are actually designed to structurally complement one another.
