Compass of Our Heart

TARA BRACH
About this episode

Compass of Our Heart - All of our actions, our entire life experience, arises from the energy of intention. While it's natural that our intentions are shaped by egoic wants and fears, when we bring this into conscious, compassionate awareness, we can discover the deep aspiration that guides and energizes our awakening hearts and minds. This talk explores the movement from egoic intention to liberating intention…the movement from "my will" to "my heart's will" (a favorite from the archives).
