Tara Brach’s teachings blend Western psychology and Eastern spiritual practices, mindful attention to our inner life, and a full, compassionate engagement with our world.

Try out the R.A.I.N exercise that Tara shares in the interview the next time you experience a difficult emotion.
Here are the steps for you to remember:
R – Recognise
A – Allow
I – Investigate
N – Not-identified
You can practice R.A.I.N either in your own mind OR you can try actually writing reflections down retrospectively when you have been hit with an unpleasant emotion.
I really encourage you to try this throughout the week. Make a note in your journal or if easier on your phone and you’ll start to notice patterns around your emotional triggers.
Becoming more aware of your emotional triggers and taking the time to process difficult emotions are the steps required to become master of your emotions rather than slave to them.
