The Best Way To Feel Calm (Is to Not Try To Feel Calm)

In this episode, Dan takes live questions from subscribers to the 10% with Dan Harris app. Topics include: meditating through grief and serious emotional pain, the hidden addiction to feeling calm during meditation, how to find focus and concentration without straining so hard you get a headache, whether guided meditations are just “training wheels,” and how to practice when ADHD or restlessness makes sitting still feel impossible.

Throughout, Dan returns to a central theme: the point of meditation isn’t to feel any particular way — it’s to relate differently to whatever is already there. To join the live Tuesday sessions, sign up for a free 14-day trial at danharris.com.
