For the Love of Dogs...and All Beings - Tara Brach

The focus of this conversation is on our relationships with dogs, and more broadly, all beings. We look at what Thich Nhat Hanh called "interbeing", and what happens when we shift our attention from self to "who are we together?"

Tara is joined by Mark Drucker, an animal lover who works in digital media and is founder of Love, Dog (www.lovedog.com), and Drew Webster, a dog behavior consultant par excellence.

In this recording, Tara is being interviewed for their podcast and found herself deeply impacted by the conversation. She reports that she and her 6 month old pup Niki play more. Her attention has deepened and she is more awake in their relationship, and of course that extends out to the world of relationships.

So whether you have a dog, cat, favorite tree, or human to practice on, bringing attention to interbeing means more belonging, aliveness, and love.
