Our brains are wired to be  Teflon for the good and Velcro for the bad, says psychologist Dr. Rick Hanson, which can lead us into sinkholes of depression and anxiety. But you can rewire that programming by cultivating sympathetic joy for others and savoring your own happy moments. This meditation, inspired by THE ATTENTION REVOLUTION by Alan Wallace, trains your mind to be limber to change and your heart to be open to joy. 

Music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke.
