Underrated

THANK YOU 🙏🌻.

Thank you 💚

This wonderful discourse doubles up as a dhamma talk. Feeling overwhelmed lately so I'm taking home the message to look everyday for the power, big or small, i have to make my life better ✨️ Thank you Dr. Rick🙏

Nice work. Thank you Rick

Thanks Coach Rick!

It’s been a long time since I’ve had the pleasure of meditating to your voice and and guidance. Thank you.

What a lovely talk and helpful too. It was more reaffirming for me, rather that I am around others that are anxious or overly concerned about things beyond our control and it's draining being around them, listening to them, trying to remain compassionate and offer help or guidance in a kind way, but find I just have to leave and make up an excuse to go. So this helped me realise that is just as important and even offered a few things I might be able to say in those situations too. Whatever I do with it, I really enjoyed it, thank you Rick.

Dr. Hanson is the best!

Would love to hear about how to work with my (TBC) adhd brain

Such a wonderful man!

Thank you

You have been so helpful over the years. ❤❤❤

This was so helpful!

Thank you for such a great video!

Wise words and lovely to listen to. Thankyou Rick.

I thought I had found my peace after years of striving for it. . I’d worked hard to get there but the last year has upended me. My younger sister is an end stage alcoholic of many years. I veer between love and anger with her, she has us dancing on all levels and the advice to distance ourselves is difficult as she now has dementia. She risks her life daily. My baby grandson was diagnosed with a life altering rare condition, he has severe developmental delays and his Mom and Dad are exhausted. My grandson from another daughter is 12 and is clinically addicted to video games and has threatened his own life, we don’t have full control as my daughters ex parter has created this situation. My anxiety is present even before I open my eyes.

A lot of us see life as not worth living; there is nothing here we want.

The bells at the end are really not a bit helpful sorry to tell you this they are way too loud

This is very helpful, thank you :)

So many jewels in your talk today. Thank you. I will try to remember to tread carefully in dangerous or tricky times. Also speaking truth or choosing harmony may yield neither. It is strange how my understanding of choices has finally taken deeper rooting but still on shaky ground . Care for the drop. Love…

Dr. Hanson 🙏 Your talk so timely for me, thank you. Even at age 70 and having raised my kids, taken care of family, worked at the same job for 31 years I do begin each day and every task with anxiety and a sense of resistance. I have Bartlby moments where I just don’t want to. I believe having entered this life reluctantly by forceps says it all. As for personal responsibility, I have just been given an unexpected diagnosis after 70 years of a healthy life and life style. I see this experience as a focused and important sense of personal responsibility for my mind, thoughts, and body. I live alone and therefore, each and every day is now focused training. Could you please recommend a preferred translation of the Dhamma Padma? Thank you.

Wonderful talk. I think many of us go to great lengths, maybe design our whole lives, trying to avoid the grief that comes with the disenchantment you describe.

I hate being alive.

Thank you, Coach Rick. I am doing my own internal work because I'm at the crossroads of a Life choice that will take courage or the much easier road that even now, I can see would ultimately be a path to victimhood. I found your talk timely and helpful.

A wonderful talk. I love this liberating topic. For some reason, I can't get the chat to reply, so I can't see the quotation from Thay which you shared (but didn't read out loud). If it's not too much trouble, can you add it here? If not, never mind :-) Thank you, I always appreciate your dharma talks and they really help me.

Thanks Rick! I so appreciate the reminder about Linking. So love your work, and love sharing it with others.

This practice is so powerful I literally went in jungle following with birds and that water drop sound... Magical and it was all my 3D presence. Thankyou & God bless you 🙏🕉

Amazing!! Thankyou after 1 min of practicing breath 😊

Hi Rick! I’m curious about the picture behind you. Do you talk about it in any of your videos? Thanks!

You are my favorite teacher, thank you for sharing your wisdom with the world! I have so many of your books and have improved my life wonderfully with lessons I have learned from you on neuroplasticity. Thank you Rick! You make a huge difference in this world. 🙏🏼

Wonderful teacher in so many Ways. Thank you so much.🙏🧡

Thank you.

I love your soothing voice and your message. Thank you 🙏

"I've spent a lot of my time on that choo choo train". You do make me laugh Rick Hanson! Thanks!

The question re: the fucked up-ness of the world. . . that alone should seal the deal about the value of practicing with equanimity!

Beautiful Henry, thank you.

Thank you for this very useful talk, just what I needed. And my gratitude for your existence and the work you give freely. 🙏

BIG THANKS ! There was an amazing synchronicity in my finding your email, tapping into your talk & actually reveling in the open handedness metaphor to assist in opening a long-term "tightness" ! WOW!!!

So how is this imagining being that way different from limerance? By the way I really appreciate your talks.

I’m going to take that idea Thank you, to picture in my mind the open hand, especially when I need to pause, to take stock. To look up!

I have get here from your most recent videos with Forrest. Love your work. Thank you for helping me to heal❤

Thank you

Thank you Rick gosh after first attempt I am slightly overwhelmed feel like Erl just mainly towards myself 😮 so much for the years of radical acceptance, mindfulness, yoga and meditation. As you said it yourself still in junior school ❤

What a gently powerful meditation this is -- thank you. I tuned in with a bit of a barrier as my days of active leadership -- in the conventonal sense -- are behind me: that scepticism saved by my curiosity. Listening rewarded me! So, gratefully, I now continue to find the gradual process you guide us through here re-centres me expansively deep within. I will be returning to this restorative practice ready to reconnect and reclaim its palpable benefits. Thanks a tonne, Dr. D. ... 💖 (onward to the related talk ... )

This is life saving ❤️
