How Being Wired Differently Can Be an Advantage | Jeff Warren

Su questo episodio

<p dir="ltr">What if the problem isn't you—but the idea that there's only one "right" way to meditate?</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, DJ Cashmere talks with meditation teacher Jeff Warren about how to build a mindfulness practice that actually fits your brain, nervous system, and life. Drawing from Jeff's experience with ADHD and bipolar disorder—and DJ's reflections on OCD and neurodiversity in his family—they explore why there's no such thing as a truly neurotypical mind, and why one-size-fits-all meditation advice often falls short.</p> <p dir="ltr">Rather than prescribing a single approach, Jeff emphasizes experimentation: noticing what settles you, what feels intolerable, and what helps you come back to presence. That might mean focusing on the breath, opening awareness, moving the body, journaling, or simply taking a walk.</p> <p dir="ltr">They return repeatedly to a simple litmus test for any practice: Is this helping me be here? And they frame that question through three core skills of mindfulness—clarity, concentration, and equanimity—which can be cultivated in many different ways.</p> <p dir="ltr">This episode is especially helpful if you've ever felt restless, frustrated, or "bad" at meditation—and are looking for a more flexible, compassionate way to practice.</p> <p dir="ltr">You can get more meditations from Jeff, our Teacher of the Month for <a href="http://danharris.com/">DanHarris.com</a>, by checking out our new app, <a href= "https://app.danharris.com/membership">10% with Dan Harris</a>. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Get the 10% with Dan Harris app <a href= "https://app.danharris.com/membership">here</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Sign up for Dan's free newsletter <a href= "http://www.danharris.com/">here</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Follow Dan on social: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5">Instagram</a>, <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FOA84J">TikTok</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Subscribe to our</strong> <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD"><strong>YouTube Channel</strong><br /> <br /></a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit <a href= "https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris">https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thanks to our sponsor:<br /> <strong>Airbnb</strong>: Your home might be worth more than you think.
