How Meditation Can Help You Handle Injured Feelings and Injured Muscles | Dawn Mauricio

This is the Ten Percent Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, how are we doing? I find it inexhaustibly interesting to hear how meditation teachers handle life's inevitable vexations.

It's so easy to look at or listen to meditation teachers with their calm demeanors and soothing voices and conclude that they are somehow imperturbable. But obviously they're human beings subject to all the same infirmities and indignities as the rest of us. So seeing how they handle that shit can be incredibly instructive. It may be the highest form of meditation teaching. We've got something uh new for you today, a little context before I explain it to you.

We're in the middle of a an exciting evolution here in 10% Happier World. This show has been going on for about eight years, and I've long wanted to make it more actionable to really help you operationalize all the game-changing ideas you hear on this podcast. So in June, we started creating guided meditations to accompany each full-length episode of the show, the Monday-Wednesday episodes, and those guided meditations are available to paying subscribers over on danharris.com. That offering in June went over so well that we're going to keep it going for the month of July.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (26 minutes, 4,601 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
