Meditation + Talk: Healing Regrets

June 14, 2024

Regret can be a heavy burden. As we reflect on our own mistakes and regrets, it is essential to explore the underlying good intent behind our actions.

When our loving intentions are met with discontent, we can sometimes become driven and insistent, which can be problematic. To avoid these pitfalls, it is helpful to pause and recenter ourselves in the present moment, feeling content and at ease. Through this sense of contentment, we can move forward with our good intentions without being driven by discontent or craving.

This is the process of Healing Regrets – which is what I covered in my Wednesday Meditation and Talk from June 12, which you can find below.

I hope you find it helpful. You are welcome to join my free Wednesday Meditations – which are open to everyone!

In this talk, I focused on Healing Regrets, but I also covered these topics:

An Overview of Meditation Types
Insights into the Nature of Experience
Contentment and Lovingness in Action
The role of Positive Neuroplasticity in Healing Regrets

These teachings are offered freely, at no charge.

And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
