A Meditation on Imagine with Mandar Apte

This gentle guided meditation with guest teacher Mandar Apte begins with a simple pranayama (breath control) practice to calm the nervous system and support restful sleep. With deep, conscious breathing and a warm, mindful awareness of the body, thoughts, and emotions, you're invited to relax fully, connect inward, and radiate loving-kindness to yourself and others. It closes with soft movement, gratitude, and a smile from the heart.

Mandar also offered a talk this week that focused on Leading with Peace and Purpose, which you can see here: https://rickhanson.com/meditation-talk-lead-with-peace-and-purpose/
