How To Work With Insomnia, Pain, and Your Mom's Voice in Your Head | Jeff Warren

How To Work With Insomnia, Pain, and Your Mom's Voice in Your Head | Jeff Warren

A live Q&A session with meditation teacher Jeff Warren, where Dan and Jeff tackle some of the hardest questions in meditation and life.

Jeff Warren is a meditation teacher, author, and co-founder of the Consciousness Explorers Club. In this live session recorded on Zoom with subscribers to the 10% with Dan Harris app, Jeff and Dan take questions about insomnia, chronic pain, caring for aging parents, existential fears for loved ones, and what to do when your meditation practice feels stuck.

We talk about:

  • How to get equanimity around existential fears for your kids (which Jeff calls "the single hardest thing in human life")

  • Why acceptance is a terrible word and equanimity is better

  • The difference between doomsday spirals and what's actually happening right now

  • Practical strategies for insomnia and chronic pain (including why your goal shouldn't be eight hours of unconscious sleep)

  • What to do when you feel stuck in your meditation practice (hint: the plateau is normal)

  • Three strategies for turning down the volume on your constant mental narrator

Jeff also introduces the practice of asking your meditation a question—literally seeding a question in your mind during practice and seeing what bubbles up. It's surprisingly effective for creative blocks and getting unstuck.

These live sessions happen every week in the 10% with Dan Harris app, where you can meditate with Dan and guest teachers and ask questions in real time. Get the app at danharris.com — there's a free 14-day trial.
