Rick and Forrest are joined by award-winning journalist Michael Krasny to discuss how to stay curious, navigate times of transition, and relate to the modern media landscape in healthy ways. The post Being Well Podcast: Staying Curious, Embracing Change, and Relating to Media with Michael Krasny appeared first on Dr. Rick Hanson. This Wednesday Night Meditation included a 34-minute meditation, a 63-minute talk, and a discussion with Rick Hanson about Tenderness and Vastness, Assertiveness and Compassion. 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.
