Mindful Meditations with Dr. Rick Hanson
Resting in the Present, Content and at Peace
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When life feels overwhelming, your mind scattered, and peace out of reach, it's easy to get swept up in anxiety or striving. In this gentle meditation, I guide you to rest in the present moment—settling into a sense of calm, wholeness, and simple contentment. It’s a chance to step off the treadmill and come home to yourself, just as you are.
