Dawn Mauricio is not only the kindest, most compassionate person you'll ever meet, but she's also a genius when it comes to meditation. So when I saw that she had a new book for meditation beginners, I knew I had to sit down with her. Enjoy our conversation and learn:

• The difference between mindfulness and meditation
• If meditating with your eyes open is a thing
• And how to tell if you're doing it right (it's not what you think!)
