How to Wake Up From the Trance of Unworthiness – Good News Network

The Lesson: Though were rarely conscious of it, we continually evaluate ourselvesand are convinced that something is wrong with us. In this audio session, acclaimed psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner Tara Brach takes us through the process of waking up from a mental state we might not realize were caught up in; and once we can let go of constant self-judgement, we can actually live up to our potential. Join her as she explores the factors which lead to the trance of unworthiness, how we can identify it as it happens, break free of the cycle of self-doubt, andmost importantlydevelop trust in our own natural inner goodness.

Notable Excerpt: Ive found that usually theres a gap between our standard of how we should be, and our own experience, and its that gap which makes us feel like were not okay. The number one deepest regret of the dying are that they didnt live true to themselvesthat they lived according to the expectations of others, of the shoulds and I thought it would be tremendously useful for people to have a guided passageway through and beyond the forces that guide us to live unfaithfully to ourselves.
