Tara Brach is really one of the best meditation teachers right now. Her talks on self-compassion are more effective for me than Xanax.

This provided a nice supplement to what I've been learning and practicing for the past few months. A few of the practices were a little too woo-woo for me, but overall, they broadened my experience, and I know I will listen to them many more times.
