Yeah. This is the Ten Percent Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello there. Happy Sunday. Hope you're having a good weekend. Today we've got a guided meditation for people Who kick their own ass, which is probably everybody. It comes from Vinny Ferraro, who's our teacher of the month over at danharris.com. That means he is creating custom guided meditations for all of our Monday and Wednesday episodes on the podcast, but only for paid subscribers. Also for paid subscribers, he'll be doing in the month of September live guided meditation and QA sessions, some of them with me.

If you sign up you'll get all of that stuff. However today We're giving you a little teaser. This is one of the meditations he produced for the episodes that we have put behind the paywall, but actually we're gonna take this one here and and drop it for free, hopefully as a way to entice you to join us over at danharris.com. Before we jump into the meditation, I just want to quickly say that if you want to meditate with me in person, I've got a couple of events Coming up, one is on September twenty first.

At the New York Insight Meditation Center. It's a half day thing. The other is a weekend long thing at the end of October. It's called meditation party. I don't wanna say too much right now because I wanna let you start meditating, but I put some links in the show notes if you want to sign up for either or both. Okay, we'll get started with Vinny Ferraro right after this. I think many of us uh Taught to improve ourselves.
