How Meditation Can Help You Handle Injur...

10% Happier
About this episode

Plus: How to build a meditation practice you keep coming back to.

We’re in the midst of an exciting evolution of the overall 10% Happier project. In our quest to make this podcast more actionable – to help you operationalize all the game-changing ideas you encounter on this pod – we’re now offering guided meditations to accompany each full episode of the show, available to paid subscribers at DanHarris.com. For the month of July, those meditations will come from Dawn Mauricio, a teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition whom we love. 

In this kickoff episode, you’ll hear our head of content, DJ Cashmere, in conversation with Dawn, who shares a little of her backstory and her journey to become a teacher. You’ll learn about the hardest thing she’s ever done in her life, how she describes herself as a meditation teacher, and how an injury she’s currently dealing with has turned out to have some genuine upsides.
