Absorption into Tranquility

In this meditation, you’re invited to gently settle your attention into feelings of peace and open-heartedness. As the mind grows more concentrated, these qualities can gradually expand, pervading the body and filling awareness with a quiet sense of ease. Resting in this open, peaceful presence, you allow calm and warmth to deepen naturally.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/.
