A talk by Rick Hanson on four words: nowness, wholeness, allness, and oneness.
A note from Sean
My main takeaway from the monastery was how little we need. When we remember we have a choice, we can sense into safety, contentment and connection, and find enoughness in any moment. There is far less need for getting or becoming.
Try this today. Once today, pause and tell yourself, “Right now, this is enough.” Then sense what is actually here, with nothing to fix: your feet, your breath, the sounds around you. Stay for ten breaths. If a pull toward later shows up, let it be there.
Keep going: Mindfulness of the Present Moment Without Any Goals and what Rick Hanson’s meditation taught me about staying present.
This talk suits anyone who feels one step behind. If “enough” stirs up grief or old hurt, go gently. Stop when you need to.
We hope you found something useful in Rick Hanson’s talk on nowness, wholeness, allness, and oneness. May your practice grow and your awareness widen.
