A Meditation on A Spacious Open Heart, with Dr. Rick Hanson

When your mind is busy, pulled in a dozen directions, or quietly tense beneath the surface, it can be hard to simply be—to feel at home in yourself. This meditation is an invitation to come back: back to your body, back to the present moment, back to a sense of ease and wholeness.

Gently settling into awareness of the breath and the body as a whole, you’ll explore what it’s like to let experiences come and go without resistance—resting in a growing sense of openness, spaciousness, and calm. As the mind quiets and the body softens, there’s also a natural unfolding of warmth and kindness, a steady, heartfelt presence that can begin to extend outward into the world.

Over time, this simple practice can help you feel more grounded, less reactive, and more at peace in your own experience.

The talk this week focused Keys to Personal and Global Evolution, and featured a conversation with David Sloan Wilson: https://rickhanson.com/talk-meditation-keys-to-personal-and-global-evolution/
