I just made a note to remember and trigger myself with the fact: “This moment I feel basically alright – right now.” Thank you, Rick Hanson
I welcome the reassurance and warmth that: In this moment I feel basically alright here and now. Even though my body feels off kilter with a virus, I’m grateful that basically I am alright.
It’s a reminder that makes me happy instead of imagining a worst case scenario that I believed earlier today.
I love that in the stress of my day !!!! just a simple note to self I am basically ok in this moment amen……Thank You!!!
for your words of wisdom
Thank you Rick for a wonderful way to wake up in the morning.
such a small investment, with a great return, thank you for your encouragement, and gentle approach ,
Just listening to your calming voice iinspires me, and resonates with me. Breaking things down into small “tasks” or goals, makes it so much easier to carry through with.
Namaste ?
Thank You for the calmness this gentle practice brings to my day
This could be very helpful since I’m dealing with my husbands serious illness and my mind wonders to when what will happen state?
Nice to let the needless anxiety slip away. Thanks for the pause.
Thank you . Your meditation’s point is coming in the process of one surgery of mi hart.
I have been going through a lot of physical pain owing to ouch nerves in my cervical area. Doing this simple exercise helped me to accept pain without restance and getting anxious about my ongoing physical pain. Physical pain happens. Suffering is an option ????
Discovering to my surprise that ‘basically, I truly am alright!” is SO REFRESHING! Thank you so much.
With my heart… Merci!
This was so helpful! I will continue to use this. Thank you!
Thank you, Namaste, good tummy sounds indicate somatic digestion of all right ness!
Thank you!
How wonderful is to be tuned with Rick Hanson. Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Great exercise. Simple and enlightening. That’s what’s so cool in Buddhistic teaching and practice. Thanks so much for this session and for the entire week.
As always, Dr Rick has come up with another practical exercise – a simple tool useful for all of us irrespective of our physical/mental state..What an amazing practice. You are such a wonderful Mindfulness Teacher/Nero Psychologist and a Great Human Being. May you be blessed!
How important it is to be in tune with what our bodies are communicating to us! For so long I have ignored the messages that my body conveys. We help our body relax and live with less stress. Thank you for this useful practice. I look forward to noticing many times in the course of the day.
This practice happened at a very good time for me. Today I’m feeling very anxious with it feeling short of breath. Telling myself that at this moment I am alright is so helpful. Listening to Dr. Hanson’s soothing voice is helping me accept things as they are. Thank you.
Never before has the word, ‘alright, ‘ had such an impact on my mind and body. Thank you!
Who would have thought that the body could be such a continual source of ease for the mind! Thank you, Rick. [From Putter, in Cape Town]
Peaceful Feelings. I am basically alright now and wish to keep it up. Thanks a lot.
Grateful for the reminder as I gave felt a vague sense of nonspecific anxiety this week. This is relaxing in service of hearing. I am hopeful.
Typo! That’s in service of healing, although in service of hearing (Truth, resources, teachings…) works too.
