Great intro into Tara practive

Chandra Easton's introduction to the 21 Tara's is simultaneously very, very well researched/organized - and extremely approachable. Each manifestation of Tara is given a history, a "spiritual portrait," a mantra and explanation of the mantra, and a meditation. She reads the audiobook herself, and this is the cherry on top because she chants excellently and delivers meditations with supernatural skill. 200% recommend for anyone looking to have a little Tara practice

Timely practices and information offered by a true teacher

I’m so happy this was read by the author. She has a beautiful voice, and embodies the teachings as she shares them. This is the most thorough book I’ve found on the 21 Taras. Extremely worthwhile, and these practices are so needed right now.

The Book is a Delight to explore

“Embodying Tara” is a delightful, heartfelt exploration of the 21 Manifestations of the Buddhist Feminine Buddha, Arya Tara. I found the author’s soft and articulate narration of the 21 Tara’s heartfelt and passionate. It made it easy to follow the guided meditations and also her personal touch on the anecdotal sections of the book helped to give the book a feeling of personal warmth and accessibility.
Not only that but the book is filled with scholarly information on the history of Tara and the Sanskrit and Tibetan derivatives of her many names without making it drag or interrupt the narrative flow.
My favorite part of the book are the examples of the women from around the world and from
Many faiths and cultures that She adds to each chapter as real embodiments of the qualities of each of the Taras.
I highly recommend this book on both its audio and print for anyone who wants to dive deeply into the divine feminine. It calls to all women, not just the practitioners of Buddhism.

Outstanding Tibetan Buddhist practices for Tara

This is a wonderful audio book. Chandra introduces 21 Taras, regarded as female forms of Buddha who are frequently invoked in meditation. Chandra introduces advanced practices which can bring the comfort of Tara into our lives. She describes the characteristics of each form of Tara and she provides a mantra and a meditation for each. Chandra is a skilled Tibetan translator, so her pronunciation in the audio book is excellent. She also provides historical examples of women whose real life activities were an examples of the characteristics of each Tara.
