A Meditation on Feeling Grounded, Peaceful, and Openhearted, with Dr. Rick Hanson

When you’re feeling triggered, reactive, or on edge, this guided meditation helps you settle the nervous system and come back to a sense of basic okay-ness. We ground in the body, soothe the “soft animal” within, and gently quiet mental chatter through breath and sensation. From there, we use awareness to open to the heart, allowing kindness and calm to replace bracing and defensiveness—so experiences can flow through without overwhelming you.
