Summary: 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.
