Sebene Selassie On: Resiliency, Rewriting Your Patterns and Finding a Teacher Who Speaks to You

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey kids, happy Sunday to those who celebrate Sunday. Today we're going to talk to the great meditation teacher and great friend of mine, Sebine Selassie. We're going to talk to her about resiliency in the face of physical and emotional challenges, something she understands very well.

We're going to talk also about seeing your patterns and working to change them, finding a teacher who speaks to you, what it's like to be part of, in her words, the 10% happier family, and much more. Many of you know Sebonet, who has appeared on this show many, many times and also wrote a great book called You Belong. You're going to hear from her today because she is our teacher of the month over on danharris.com for the month of October. That means she will be crafting custom guided meditations to go along with all of our Monday-Wednesday episodes. The goal with these bespoke meditations, and you may have heard me say this before, but it bears repeating, the goal is to help you take the wisdom of the conversations you hear on the podcast and pound that wisdom

into your neurons in an abiding way. It is so easy to hear a great conversation and then forget all about it because life just pulls you back into your habit patterns. These meditations are designed to counteract the forgetting. Seb will also, in her role as Teacher of the Month, be doing a number of live guided meditation and Q<unk>A sessions only for subscribers over at danharris.com. We do these every week now.
