Watch now (54 mins) | Sharon Salzberg with Dr. Richard J. Davidson and Dr. Cortland Dahl on loving-kindness, connection, and the practice of remembering that none of us gets through life alone.
Thank you so much, Cortland and Ritchie, for bringing Sharon Salzberg to this conversation. It was a deeply heartfelt discussion that touched me profoundly.
I especially appreciated the discussion on entry points. I find if I'm floundering or feeling discouraged, gratitude is the most functional entry point for me - engendering awareness of how blessed I actually am, how many people make this moment possible.
So many opportunities to smile, reflect and rededicate! I greatly enjoyed this conversation and so appreciate the reminders to practice everywhere, all the time. Keep up the awesome work - it is profoundly helpful!
So touching to hear you three talking about loving kindness. It feels so good in my heart and brings a lot of joy! May be is it because it brings such good emotions that it feels easier to meditate on loving kindness... Don't you think?
Like others, I have followed your advice and make practices of gratitude everyday for months now. I think it has enhanced my positive feelings and makes me a happier person, even in front of adversities. Thank you so much for your teachings.
Three of my favorite people whom I’ve never met in the same session, my dharma dreams have come true! Deep bow to you all, sending my sincere gratitude for all you do! 💚
For the past 36 years I have practiced mindfulness throughout the day. I used a watch from Hearmore, which had a vibrating alarm and repeat function. Every 20-minutes it cued me to relax. There are many reminder apps today for watches and phones. These make practice easier because you don't rely on memory to remember to relax. It also made practicing convenient. Like any skill, practice is essential.
