Mindful Meditations with Dr. Rick Hanson
Resting in Peaceful Presence
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When your mind is busy, your heart is tired, and you feel like you're chasing something you can’t quite catch—this meditation is a place to rest.
We’ll gently settle into the present moment, not with pressure or perfection, but with a soft and kind intention. You’ll be invited to experience what it’s like to simply be: not fixing, not striving, not becoming—just resting in the enoughness of now.
There’s real nourishment in this. A quiet, spacious presence. A warm heart. And a little more peace.
