b'A common problem among type-A people is trying to win at meditation. But the practice doesn\\u2019t work like that.\\xa0If you over-effort, if you try to make something happen, it\\u2019s pretty much guaranteed not to happen. What is guaranteed is that you will suffer. Meditation is like a video game where you can\\u2019t move forward if you want to move forward too badly.\\xa0\\nOur guest today is Alexis Santos, who has been practicing meditation for twenty years and was a student of the highly influential Burmese monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya. Alexis is also a core teacher in the Ten Percent Happier app and the lead teacher of our On the Go course.\\xa0In this episode, Alexis recounts his time learning from Sayadaw and shares an approach to meditation that is more relaxed than what many of us may be used to. It just might change your practice.\\nWatch Season 2 of Ted Lasso on Apple TV+. Subscription required.
