Mindful Meditations with Dr. Rick Hanson

Resting in Stable Presence

Rick Hanson

It's normal to feel overwhelmed by the chaos of modern life, and it's hard to have a steady mind when we're distracted, stressed, rattled, or ruminating about the things we feel threatened about or resentful of.

This meditation invites you to settle the body, quiet the mind, and rest in a peaceful, contented awareness—stable like a mountain and open like the sky.

You’re welcome to join me live each week for these meditations — free for everyone — by signing up here. We always start with a guided meditation to set the tone for the evening. If you’d like to explore the talk that followed this meditation, you can listen to it here.
