Letting Go of Control | Tara Brach on Choosing Joy in Difficult Times (Part 2)

Описание: Tara Brach delves into the alchemy of joy—how it arises not through control or striving, but through openness, presence, and a willingness to let life flow. With a blend of wisdom, humor, and poignant storytelling, Tara highlights how joy is often blocked by our habits of grasping, resisting, or rushing through life.

In this talk, Tara explores:
▪️How joy becomes possible when we release control and embrace impermanence
▪️Why grasping (even in love or pleasure) often masquerades as joy, but blocks it
▪️The cultural and psychological beliefs that keep us from allowing happiness
▪️How cynicism, busyness, and fear can quietly erode our joy
▪️Three powerful practices to retrain the heart toward joy:
✨Saying “yes” to the moment
✨Savoring joy mindfully
✨Awakening to possibility and creative presence
▪️A personal and humorous story about generosity, rule-breaking, and presence at retreat

This talk is a rich and heartfelt invitation to loosen the grip of control and live from a space of inner freedom and joy.
