Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When I finally work through a hard feeling I rush straight back into doing and it all snaps shut again
- Something just got to me in the middle of my day and I can feel myself reacting, but I’ve only got a couple of minutes before I have to keep going
- My calm only lasts as long as the cushion
- I calm down for a minute with my eyes closed, but the second I open them and step back into the room I snap right back into the same tight, tunnel-visioned reactivity
- I can never find a separate block of time to practice, but I walk to the car and the train and to lunch every day on total autopilot
Practices that may help
- RAIN Meditation: Tara Brach’s Four-Step Practice
RAIN is a four-step mindfulness practice developed by Tara Brach that stands for Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Nurture. It is designed to meet difficult emotions — fear, shame, grief, anger — with mindful awareness rather than avoidance or overwhelm. The steps draw on mechanisms shared with acceptance-based therapies (ACT, MSC, MBCT); the RAIN sequence itself is practitioner-developed and not yet independently trialed as a protocol. - After RAIN: resting in natural, open awareness
After the four steps, rest in the open awareness that remains — not returning immediately to doing.

RAIN Meditation: Tara Brach’s Four-Step Practice - Radical Acceptance, Made Practical
Radical acceptance, taught by Tara Brach and rooted in dialectical behavior therapy, means fully acknowledging reality as it is — including pain you cannot change — instead of fighting it. The point is not approval or giving up; it is to stop the extra suffering that resistance adds on top of the original pain. Acceptance-based skills are well-established in clinical practice (DBT, ACT); RAIN is a practitioner framework for applying them. - Work as practice (samu)
Bring full, wholehearted attention to ordinary tasks, treating activity itself as meditation.
