To help ease and release anxiety, we can focus on feeling undisturbed, undefended, and uncontracted in the moment — which is what this guided meditation will help you to do.

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.
