Three Kinds of Calm

This meditation guides you through three stages of calm: warm heartedness, contentment, and peace. It begins by settling into the body and breath, then opens into feelings of kindness and connection, and finally into a quiet sense of being already okay in the present.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/.
