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.

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 🙏

Wonderful gentle lesson in observing the mind. I will save and return.

So very helpful, now I know what was missing from my 3+ year meditation practice 🙏

I learn so much from each of Joseph's meditations. I recognize myself in them.

What a fantastic and useful meditation this is. I can’t wait to repeat this practice in the coming days. Thank you for your work. 🙏🏼

A practical practice with gentle guidance from Joseph who feels like a friend. ❤️

Such skillful guidance. Now how to ease wanting to be wanted?

Judgement, Wanting......positions to observe. Seems so simple and basic. Interesting and immersive...

Joseph is such a wonderful meditation guide. Awesome and important topic today!!

Look don't seek is One of my mantras lately so it was a gift to settle on this guided meditation.

Always such a wise decision to spend a little time in the great Joseph Goldstein's company

Thank you for that wise reflection on desire and wanting. Blessings.

Joseph has really helped me to get better at mindfulness practice. I find that I am applying slot of what he is teaching in these meditations through my day to day life. I like how much space he gives you to handle the prompts.

Thank you for including these master teachers. Joseph Goldstein 🙏

The catalogue analogy really resonates! The wanting is deeply ingrained, thank you for bringing to the fore 🙏

I appreciated having my attention drawn to this potential pattern of wanting. It was helpful to have the quiet time to also notice what was going on internally.

Happy Birthday, Joseph! Thank you for offering your teachings and guidance to the Western world.

Love his guided meditations. The title also does align with the meditation.
