<p dir="ltr">It's one of those ideas that sounds kind of like a Zen riddle, but actually turns out to be incredibly useful: <em>what's in the way is the way</em>.</p> <p dir="ltr">If you've ever sat down to meditate and thought, "Ugh, I can't focus — my mind's all over the place," or, "If only this restlessness would go away, then I could really meditate," this one's for you. Christiane's going to show us how those so-called obstacles — the distractions, the boredom, the racing thoughts — can actually become the practice itself.</p> <p dir="ltr">All this month, we're sharing custom guided meditations from our teacher of the month, Christiane Wolf exclusively available at <a href="http://danharris.com/">DanHarris.com</a>. Like any good drug dealer, the first taste is free – so today, we're giving you a sample of what you can expect for the rest of the month.<br> <br></p> <p dir="ltr">Related Episodes: </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href="https://www.danharris.com/p/is-your-ambition-rooted-in-trauma?r=4o5o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false"> Is Your Ambition Rooted In Trauma? | Christiane Wolf</a></p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href="https://www.danharris.com/p/peak-performance-at-any-age-christiane?r=4o5o&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false"> Peak Performance at Any Age | Christiane Wolf (Dharma Teacher/Doctor/Ultramarathoner)</a></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Tickets are now on sale for a special live taping of the 10% Happier Podcast with guest Pete Holmes!
