This meditation is a journey from the "trance of knowing"—that tight, anxious habit of trying to figure everything out—into the liberating space of presence.

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/.
