The Power of Inquiry in Spiritual Awakening – Part 1

Mar 4, 2026

In spiritual life, inquiry arises from our deep yearning to understand reality, and it involves bringing an interested, engaged attention to our immediate experience.  These two talks explore how inquiry serves emotional healing by focusing on difficult “stuck” places, how inquiry enables us to become more intimate and understanding of others, and in the deepest way, how inquiry can reveal the deepest truth of what we are…our true nature. The talks include several guided reflections that can enrich your meditation practice and serve spiritual awakening.

In this talk, Tara explores:

✨ How spiritual inquiry helps awaken us from the “interpreted world” of thoughts
✨ Questions that deepen mindfulness and self-awareness
✨ Using inquiry within the RAIN meditation practice
✨ How investigating beliefs can free us from fear and self-judgment
✨ Opening to the mystery and aliveness of present-moment awareness
