A Meditation on Feeling Already Supported, with Dr. Rick Hanson

When life feels unsteady — when anxiety pulls you into the future, when you feel unsupported, or when you’re carrying everything on your own shoulders — it becomes hard to recognize the real stability that’s already here for you. This meditation gently helps you shift out of worry and into the lived, felt experience of being supported: by your breath, your body, the objects around you, and the wider natural world. Through simple awareness, soft thoughts, and heartfelt appreciation, you learn to let the knowing that you’re supported become a feeling that soothes, steadies, and reassures you in the present moment.
