This Quick Practice Will Make You Feel Lighter | Jay Michaelson

<p dir="ltr">A guided loving-kindness meditation from Jay Michaelson that ditches the phrases and uses visualization instead.</p> <p dir="ltr">If you've done traditional metta (loving-kindness) practice before, you know it involves bringing people to mind and repeating phrases like "May you be happy, may you be healthy." It's a great practice. But sometimes the words can get you stuck in your head—thinking about what would actually make this person happy, or getting into stories about their suffering.</p> <p dir="ltr">This version takes away the verbal element. Instead, you work with a visualization: imagining a warm, golden light in your heart center that you can extend outward.</p> <p dir="ltr">Fair warning: this involves imagination. If that makes you roll your eyes, that's fine. But as the Beatles said, "The love you take is equal to the love you make." It's worth a try.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.jaymichaelson.net/">Jay Michaelson</a> is our Teacher of the Month for February.

Buddhist Hacks for Anxiety and Overthinking | Joseph Goldstein

<p dir="ltr">Today we're gonna talk about some Buddhist hacks for two deeply related and all too common ailments: anxiety and overthinking. Most of us have struggled with one or both of these, and one of the people who has helped Dan the most is <strong>Joseph Goldstein</strong>.</p> <p dir="ltr">Regular listeners to this podcast will be familiar with Joseph and his very direct, very down-to-earth style, but if you don't know – let us introduce you. He's one of the foremost Buddhist teachers in the west, he's been Dan's teacher for about 15 years, and Dan's recently convinced him to write a book together, using a collection of these little phrases that he's cooked up over the years. Dan's been keeping a list of around a hundred or so tiny, useful phrases – bite-sized wisdom for meditation practice and for daily life. The book won't be out for a few years, but we're conducting a series of interviews with him, each one covering a few phrases, and we'll be releasing those here on the podcast. </p> <p dir="ltr">The first installment of these interviews about Joseph's phrases just came out on Thursday, Jan. 1, and you don't have to listen to that episode for this episode to make sense, but they are useful together. </p> <p dir="ltr">Today, we'll be covering: </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The practice assessment tapes</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Whatever works</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Cowboy Dharma</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Dead end</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Is this useful</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">And a quartet about walking meditation: sensations moving through space, walking through space, walking in a dream, walking through the mind</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Don't worry if those don't make sense right now – stick with us and you'll get a thorough explanation of where those phrases all come from and how they can help. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Get the 10% with Dan Harris app <a href= "https://app.danharris.com/membership">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Sign up for Dan's free newsletter <a href= "http://www.danharris.com/">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Dan on social: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5">Instagram</a>, <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FOA84J">TikTok</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Subscribe to our <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD">YouTube Channel</a></p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thanks to our sponsor:<br /> LinkedIn:  Spend $250 on your first campaign on LinkedIn ads and get a $250 credit for the next one.

Joseph Goldstein On How To Train Your Runaway Brain

<p dir="ltr">You may have noticed that your mind is out of control. It's filled with racing thoughts, ancient neuroses and grudges, revenge fantasies… So why are we like this and what can be done about it?</p> <p dir="ltr">Today, we're talking to one of our favorite people and also one of the most prominent meditation teachers in the West, <strong>Joseph Goldstein</strong>, about how "ridiculous" our minds are – that's a word he uses a lot to describe the mind – and some really compelling ways to train the mind. Spoiler: having a sense of humor is crucial here.</p> <p dir="ltr">Just by way of context: this is the first in a series of episodes with Joseph, focusing on the phrases he uses while he's teaching Buddhism and meditation. Dan and Joseph are collaborating on a book that will be a compilation of these phrases and how to use them. This book won't be out for several years, but as Dan conducts a series of interviews with Joseph, we'll release them here on the podcast. There's another part coming out this Sunday, January 4th. </p> <p dir="ltr">Just to give you a little taste, here are the phrases we'll be covering in today's episode:  </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Just begin again</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Sit and know you're sitting</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Relaxed, not casual </p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">More or less mindful </p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Thieves of meditation</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Mara, I see you.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Ridiculous</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The mind has no pride</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Soundtrack </p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The mind is the forerunner of all things. </p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">These might not make any sense right now, but you'll hear Joseph explain each of these, where they came from, and how to use them in your meditation practice AND in your daily life. Incredibly practical, bite-sized wisdom. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Get the 10% with Dan Harris app <a href= "https://app.danharris.com/membership">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Sign up for Dan's free newsletter <a href= "http://www.danharris.com/">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Dan on social: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5">Instagram</a>, <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FOA84J">TikTok</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Subscribe to our <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD">YouTube Channel</a></p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thanks to our sponsor:<br /> LinkedIn:  Spend $250 on your first campaign on LinkedIn ads and get a $250 credit for the next one.
