13 分钟Hello boys and girls, ladies and germs, this is Tim Ferriss.
Welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss Show.
This episode is a brand new experiment called Meditation Monday.
That means in addition to my long form interviews each week, every Monday I will be bringing you a short 10 minute or so meditation which will help you for the rest of the week.
Over this four episode series, you'll develop a Zen toolkit specifically to help you find greater calm, peace and effectiveness in your daily life.
The teacher Henry Schuchman has been on my podcast twice before.
He is one of only a few dozen masters in the world authorized to teach what is called Sambo Zen.
And I have found this particularly interesting and effective.
And now he'll be your teacher.
I've been using Henry's app the Way once, often twice a day for the last few months and it has lowered my anxiety more than I thought possible.
As a listener of the show, you yourself can get 30 free sessions by visiting thewayapp.com Tim so if you like what you hear in these meditations, which will be valuable in and of themselves, you can get 30 free sessions by going to thewayapp.com Tim and for the time being, please enjoy this Meditation Monday with Henry Shucman.
Welcome back to Meditation Monday.
Many of us, of course, have difficult emotions at times and meditation might seem to exacerbate them.
Sometimes because we're, as it were, more exposed to them.
We haven't got distractions, other things we can turn to, we're just sitting still and doing nothing.
So if a difficult emotion comes up, there's kind of nowhere to hide.
Now in early Buddhism, these kinds of emotions, things like worry, regret, frustration, craving, aversion or dislike, strong dislike, were viewed actually as hindrances to meditation that they would make us not want to meditate, they'd make it harder to meditate.
And I think it's quite a helpful lens to recognize that difficult emotions are a problem, as it were, in meditation, in that they will discourage us from doing it.
So fortunately we have tools for being with difficult emotion and actually what they often lead to is a kind of restlessness.
Get me out of here.
