We’ve officially moved into our new home: the 10% with Dan Harris app. Paid subscribers can find step-by-step instructions here to get set up. If you’re not a paid subscriber, now is the time to sign up. Get a 30-day free trial that includes the New Year’s Challenge — a seven-day masterclass in mindfulness and meditation led by the inimitable Joseph Goldstein.
We had Teacher of the Month Jeff Warren back for this week’s live meditation and Q&A—joined by executive producer DJ Cashmere.
Jeff kicked things off with a practice focused on “settling”—using the imagery of a sleeping baby or a finicky cat on one’s lap to cue the body to slow down and find stillness.
After that, Jeff and DJ took some questions on:
Consistency vs. variety: Whether it’s better to stick to one type of meditation every day or if there is an advantage to switching between styles
Regulating in a chaotic house: Managing overstimulation through micro-breaks and shifting to view children’s “bad behavior” as the expression of a stressed nervous system
The “four seeds” of practice: How to use renunciation, presence, acceptance, and appreciation to plant the right mental habits
Recovering from a “lapsed” practice: How to get your “Buddha groove” back after falling into old habits
Our seven-day New Year’s Challenge kicks off Monday, Jan. 5! It consists of:
Daily meditations from Joseph Goldstein only available in the app
Three special live sessions: Jan. 6, 8, & 11 at 4:00 p.m. ET (join via the dedicated Challenge Zoom link)
The three live sessions for our New Year’s Challenge are open to everyone, paid as well as free subscribers, so please join us. They use a different Zoom link from our regular Tuesday Zoom lives. You can find the Challenge Zoom link here. We will also email the link out before each live. And you can find it in the new app under “Upcoming Events.”
As a reminder, Jan. 12 is the last day you’ll be able to access our library of paid content on Substack. After that, all meditations, live replays, and the ad-free podcast will live exclusively in the new 10% with Dan Harris app, so now is the time to make the switch.
