Welcome Joy
What’s the spark and what’s the fuel? Welcome joy. Positive emotions – such as feelings of gratitude, love, and confidence – strengthen the immune system, protect the heart against loss and trauma, build relationships, increase resilience
The post Welcome Joy appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson.
This Wednesday Night Meditation included a 33-minute meditation, a 46-minute talk, and a discussion with Rick Hanson about Coming to Rest in Both Ordinary and Extraordinary Ways.
I hope you find it helpful, and you are welcome to join my free Wednesday Meditations – which are open to everyone!

Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
Additionally, many expressions of generosity are not about money. People offer attention, encouragement, and patience many times a day. Sometimes we withhold when it would be so easy, actually, to listen quietly for another minute or to offer a word of appreciation or simply a look that says, “I’m with you.” Try being a little more generous for a day and see what happens.
