Feel Your Feelings, Drop the Story | Sebene Selassie

It's the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, party people. How are we doing today? Today we're going to talk about how to deal with shame.

What to do when your mind won't stop ruminating, a technique for managing strong negative emotions, an ancient Buddhist practice for getting out of your head and into your body, and how to handle it when you feel like you cannot meditate on your breath. There is also in this conversation a fairly extended detour into colonoscopy prep that I did not see coming, but you'll understand when we get there. My guest is the meditation teacher and author Sebene Selassie. Seb and I recently co-wrote and co-recorded an Audible original, so an audiobook that you can get over on Audible. It's called Even You Can Meditate.

You should go check it out over on Audible. What you're about to hear though is a live Q<unk>A that Seb and I did with subscribers to my new-ish meditation app, 10% with Dan Harris. If you haven't done it already, you can sign up for the app over at danharris.com. Also heads up if you want to meditate with me in person.
