This meditation is an invitation to come home — to step out of busyness, worry, and striving, and rest in the present moment. Through open awareness, you’ll soften around thoughts and sensations, widen attention, and settle into a deep sense of ease, spaciousness, and simply being, with nothing to fix or manage.

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.
