Meditation #10 - Being on your own side (Rick Hanson)

This is a compassion meditation. We are first asked to recall some situations so that we can sense how compassion feels in the body (note: everytime we felt a strong compassion during the meditation, the HRV changed immediately to a coherent cicle). Then we take this same emotion and project it throughout our whole life: since the beggining, when we were a child, until our last moments.

Verdict: It is a simple meditation which can activate some positive emotions. These can be cultivated and trained to use as a valid resource in our daily life.
