- When challenges arise, it's easy to get flooded with emotions and want to lean into a "top-down" approach where we focus on our executive functions-finding solutions and tasks to fix the situation.
But it's important to balance this "top-down" approach with a more bottom-up, intuitive, bodily one- trusting the deep, innate wisdom within us. Being aware of our feelings and engaging with them is a key part of personal growth. We don't need to change our feelings or circumstances right away-we can simply observe them, which can lead to deeper understanding.
In this weekly talk, Dr. Rick Hanson talks about the three ways to practice-letting be, letting go, and letting in-and how we can heal and grow with a bottom-up approach. This method offers a clear path to personal change, showing how self-directed efforts can yield lasting results.

Absolutely wonderful talk Rick. I've been following you for a while now and this really hit the spot for me today. That phrase "being lived by everything" - so deep.
At the age of 76 I've had my fair share of top-down living and a perfectionist, bossy, harsh, controlling nature. But also a lot of forays into a bottom- up approach -sometimes loving and creative, sometimes not so much such as my 12-year time of alcoholism (age 48-60) which I now see in a more forgiving light. Lots of pointers as to how to draw these strands together and I will be returning to this talk.
This is a new way of looking at situations to me. I really only had knowledge of top down.
You are an excellent teacher. You brought clarity to this topic with your well thought out explanations and examples. I thank you for this helpful lesson.
thanks love your words
I think you'd understand if I speak with a lightheartedness in this so well crafted public space, amazed by the threats and trails, the Breadcrumps properly speaking following the message is in the medium of TH-cam in this instance, but more so in your words! However I know you a bit better by now. Yet I am still surprised by the gradual unfolding of my understanding listening to you. 30 years of California and only having been to Yosemite professionally, oh sometimes for a couple of days but always on the leash of responsibility to my professional Tour Directing, no going of the trails unfortunately. Well I feel I will return. Keep on Rocking in the free world Rick! And I'm not ashamed to say I follow your professional and accessible online classes with a slow and gradual deepening and enthusiasm ! So if any reader has come this far I would like to share another fitting word of wisdom, with respect, by Viktor Frankl. Suffering ceases to be suffering when it finds meaning.
Yes. It does! Then it becomes a gift.
