Description

Check out our new Stress Reducer CourseJeff Warren is a former journalist and more recently is a researcher, writer, and teacher of meditation and personal growth practices. His most recent book, written with Dan Harris, is called, Meditation for Fidgitty Skeptics: A 10% Happier How to Book. Jeff is a likable, relatable guy who carries a lot of practical wisdom in his conversational style of communicating. If you've ever felt like you're not good at meditating or that meditation just isn't for you because your brain never turns off, this interview is for you because that's how Jeff would describe himself, particularly at the beginning of his practice years ago. We all know that meditation is good for us but for many, it just feels inaccessible and out of reach. If that is how you feel, what Jeff has to share in this interview will make that gap shrink in size so much so that you can hop right over it and try again.Audible www.audible.com/oneyoufeed 500-500 text oneyoufeedRxBar www.rxbar.com/wolf Promo code WOLF 25% off your first order= Casper www.casper.com/oneyoufeed use promo code ONEYOUFEED for $50 off select mattressesIn This Interview, Jeff Warren and I Discuss...The Wolf ParableHis book with Dan Harris, Meditation for Fidgitty Skeptics: A 10% Happier How to BookThe role of meditation in living with depressionThe voice in our headsNot identifying with the voices in our headsComing out of the conversation in our headsThe idea of "I can't meditate"Thinking we're supposed to stop thinking when we meditateChanging the relationship with your thoughtsFocusing on an anchor, getting lost in thought, realizing you're lost in thought and coming back to your anchor = mediationHow quick we are to conclude that meditation isn't for usThat meditation is a practiceCelebrating the coming back from thought in meditationTraining affability during meditationFinding enjoyment and curiosity during meditation Asking "What's the attitude in my mind right now?" during meditationThat attitude is what you're training during meditationLooking at the world with interestEquanimity = a lack of pushing and pulling on experienceOpening to experience so that there's no frictionWhen everything has permission to express its self fullyCheck out our new Stress Reducer Course
