“Each one of us has this amazing potential to live fully and to love without holding back—to serve, to savor. It doesn’t take much more than a sincere intention to begin to pay attention in a way that really wakes up those capacities,” teaches Jack Kornfield. With the four meditations in this series, you’ll discover how to touch and awaken these capacities within yourself.

Meditation #1

with Tara Brach

“Cultivating Heart Space: A RAIN Meditation”

Meditation #2

Meditation #3

Meditation #4

“Exploring the Power of Gratitude”

As Tara Brach tells us, “There are direct ways that we can practice with feeling our gratitude and feeling our love and our appreciation that actually retrain our neural pathways. The happiness set-point that so many of us stay on for decades shifts and there’s a lot more freedom to enjoy the moments. There’s a sense that it’s workable, whatever’s here. Rather than, as many of us live, worrying about what’s to come, we’re actually freed to play and celebrate and enjoy just what’s happening.”

We invite you to listen to these four meditations as often as you like, to help you experience more and more each day the boundless gifts of the awakened heart.
