Taking In The Good

Please enjoy this lovely meditation! Originally designed by Dr. Rick Hanson as a method of balancing out the human negativity bias, this practice guides us into the somatic experience of goodness and invites it to stay. The passing state eventually becomes the permanent trait.

Here is a guided meditation based on the pioneering work of Dr. Rick Hanson and Taking In The Good. By contemplating positive affect feeling we cultivate new neurological pathways toward that feeling. We go from practicing feeling good to actually feeling good.

Here I offer a guided meditation through the 16 steps of mindfulness of breathing with the seven factors of awakening. A very thorough journey through the body, mind, and heart, with tones of joy and contentment, with insight into impermanence and no-self.Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result.

Here I offer a guided meditation where we are invited to breathe in the struggles of another, while at the same time sending them our joy and comfort. This "rubs" against our habitual modes of self-preservation, causing a type of internal friction which eventually serves to burn through the ego. May All Benefit.
