The Wanting Mind

In this meditation, we explore the very powerful feeling of desire both in our meditation practice and in our lives.

This meditation is part of the 10% Happier: Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics course, a collaboration between Joseph, his student Dan Harris (who wrote the book 10% Happier), and the behavior change company Change Collective.

I noticed that desire to me seem to be a lovely feeling without a strong attachment to the thing yet wanting seems more like a needing feeling with an expectation.
I can now be more mindful when these feelings come up and yes, make a decision.
Thank you for all the meditations you share. Please do more! 🙏✨💖

This was helpful in settling myself down from a state of desire and consequent confusion regarding an ambiguous situation.

Especially nice, thank you. I look forward to sitting again with you soon. Namaste. 🙏🫂❤️

Great insight into the space between stimulus and response and the discernment it allows for. Thank you!!

Helpful to recognise wanting, desire, and to discern when it’s appropriate to let the feelings pass. Thank you 🙏
