I’d like to offer some of my central practices that help me grapple with the First Noble Truth, particularly focusing on skillful means. In this talk at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center I go over some ways to cultivate the feeling of being for something, how to be on one’s own side enough that you actually want to do something about your suffering, and how to stay in the brain’s “home base” of calm, contentment, and caring in the face of the hard things in life. I hope you enjoy! The post The Hard Things That Open the Heart appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson » Resources for Happiness, Love, and Wisdom.

Attention tends to move around, but something often bubbles to the surface at the front of our awareness. Even if we’re trying to focus just on the breath, the attention tends to wander from one part of the body to the next. In this audio practice from the Spirit Rock Meditation Center, I explore the power of opening out that spotlight of awareness to include all of the sensations around you so they appear as one powerful whole. I hope you try this practice at home, and think you’ll enjoy it! The post Mindfulness of the Body as a Whole appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson » Resources for Happiness, Love, and Wisdom.
