If you’ve been feeling tense, fearful, or disconnected from yourself, this practice guides you back into a grounded, calm, openhearted state, so you can rest in your own being with less anxiety and more peace.

You’re welcome to join me live each week for these meditations — free for everyone — by signing up at https://rickhanson.com/wednesday-meditations-with-dr-rick-hanson/. We always start with a guided meditation to set the tone for the evening.
