A Meditation on Presence without Straining with Matthew Legge

When you're overwhelmed, tense, or caught in striving—especially that inner drive to get it right or prove yourself—even meditation can start to feel like another chore. This gentle practice with Matthew Legge offers a reset: a chance to ease off the pressure, settle into your body, and reconnect with your intention—not just for your own well-being, but for the benefit of others too. Through grounding attention in sound and breath, you'll be guided to relax, release, and return—again and again—without strain, and without needing to fix or force a thing.

Matt also offered a talk this week that focused on The Surprising Power of Active Nonviolence which you can see here: https://rickhanson.com/talk-meditation-the-surprising-power-of-active-nonviolence/
