Today's guest has some unusually practical suggestions — and they don't require a meditation cushion. Kelly Boys is a mindfulness trainer and coach who has designed and delivered programs at the UN, Google, and San Quentin State Prison. She is the author of The Blind Spot Effect and has a forthcoming book called Deep Rest, due in 2027. In this conversation, Kelly and Dan cover: - What yoga nidra actually is — and how a lying-down practice connects to some of the deepest insights in meditation - The relationship between yoga nidra and sleep: why you don't have to stay awake to benefit, and why some people use it exclusively to fall asleep - How yoga nidra and mindfulness meditation are more similar than different — and where they diverge - Three practices you can extract from yoga nidra and use immediately: feeling the backside of the body to drop out of spinning stories, building an inner resource for when life gets hard, and the opposites practice for getting unstuck - Parts work: what it is, how to do it in meditation, and why your recurring emotions have a message worth hearing - Core beliefs — the "blind spots" that drive behavior without your awareness — and how to start working with them - Why intention setting sounds cheesy and works anyway - Stream entry: Dan's very rough, very disclaimed attempt to name what Kelly experienced - Why the integration of meditative insight into daily life can take a decade Subscribe to watch more 10% Happier videos: https://www.youtube.com/tenpercenthappier Follow Dan Harris on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/danharris/ https://www.tiktok.com/@danbharris https://www.facebook.com/DanHarrisABC https://twitter.com/danbharris https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-harris-91ba5716b/ #meditation #sleep #mindfulness
