RAIN is for people who feel distressed by painful memories, overwhelm, worry or self-blame, a particular situation which feels unresolved and puts a strain on everyday life, relationships or work. RAIN is an amazingly effective meditation to transform stressful feelings and one of the main teachings of Tara Brach, world-renowned and respected meditation and mindfulness teacher and my trainer. In her book Radical Compassion, Tara describes the RAIN practice in detail.
RAIN is a meditation in which you give yourself care and compassion. This is possible for all of us because there is an entity within us that cannot be shaken by the storms of life. It is described as loving consciousness, the higher or future self, and enables us to lift ourselves up and give ourselves support, comparable to a loving mother who comforts and calms her anxious child.
The approach is one of radical acceptance and radical compassion. By radical, we mean that in the meditation process we give up all resistance to our inner experience, allow it to happen in its fullness and at the same time give ourselves unlimited, unconditional care.
This meditation practice has 4 phases (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture). We focus on the body, allow all feelings and sensations to emerge without exception and identify old beliefs associated with them. From the role of observer, we devote loving attention to everything that is and find out what the vulnerable part of us needs right now. In the next step, we give ourselves the very energies we need. We satisfy the need behind the painful experience. This can be protection, love, intimate affection, connection or forgiveness. In this way, we can calm and resolve the inner turmoil and find new ways of dealing with it. Throughout the process, I guide and accompany the practitioners and support them with my presence.

RAIN is a meditation for people both with and without meditation experience. People who are experienced in meditation can usually go through the entire four steps. Those who are still at the beginning of their practice only practise the first two phases.
RAIN meditation requires a pre-meeting on Zoom, where we can get to know each other, explore the possibilities and clarify any questions. The pre-meeting of 15 minutes is free of charge.
RAIN is a meditation with transformative and healing power. It can therefore trigger deep processes of consciousness. RAIN is very supportive, but is not a substitute for psychotherapy. A basic psychological stability is a prerequisite.
I will always be grateful for our RAIN session. It gave me the courage to face this journey and start over. You gave me such a sense of safety, connection, purity and incredible kindness. It touched me deeply.
