A Meditation on Marinating in a Warm Heart, with Dr. Rick Hanson

In this heart-centered meditation, Rick gently guides you to settle into your body, find your place, and rest in the simple rhythm of your breath. As attention gathers in the chest, you explore a steady concentration on breathing in the heart area—then gradually infuse it with warm-heartedness, kindness, and loving presence. The practice invites you to soften, receive the breath rather than chase it, and let a natural sweetness spread through awareness as you rest in a concentrated, heart-based lovingness.
