    Anam Thubten leads the guided heart meditation, to remind the memories of the heart, compassion, and loving-kindness, and awaken the heart.

    A note from Sean

    I think of the heart as an old friend we haven’t seen for a while. Maybe it doesn’t feel loving toward us right now. But it’s family. We grew up with it. We keep inviting it.

    Try this today. Rest a hand on your chest for one minute. Feel the warmth of your palm, the rise and fall of the breath, and a heartbeat if you can find one. Quietly say, “You’re welcome here.”

    Keep going: Three Centers: Belly, Heart, and Head and Loving-Kindness for a Loved One.

    If your heart feels heavy today with grief or heartache, a hand on the chest can be a lot. Rest it on your belly instead, or just feel your feet. Go gently. Stop when you need to.
