This is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, everybody, how are we doing? We are so often exhorted. encouraged to be here now, to be present, to be in the moment.

But then, of course, the question, how do you actually do that? And then how do you remember to do that? That is one of the things we're going to be talking about today with an ace meditation teacher named Susa Talon. What you're about to hear is a recording of a live session that Susa did with subscribers to my meditation app, 10% with Dan Harris. We do these weekly sessions that are only available to subscribers where you can meditate with me and or with one of our teachers and get your questions answered.

So what you're about to hear is the Q<unk>A portion of one of these sessions. Just a little bit more about Susa before we dive in here. She's a meditation teacher, an artist, and a writer who's been studying for nearly 20 years with her primary teacher, a Burmese master named Sayada Utejania. I have known and worked with Susa personally for more than a decade. She is great, and I think you're really going to enjoy this session.
