I really appreciate Rick Hanson’s perspectives. He combines a practitioner’s experience of meditation practice with a scientist’s understanding in neuroscience and what he comes out with sounds like advise that my mother gave me when I was a kid. The best thing is that I seem to be more capable of hearing Rick than I was of hearing Mom.
So, on Mother’s Day, I want to honor the wisdom of my mom by posting a link to Just One Thing, Rick’s weekly email newsletter.
I anticipate using Rick’s writing with coaching clients so I am also including a link to his archived articles:
