Sebene Selassie On How To Be "Non-Attached" When the Stakes Are High

Sebene Selassie On How To Be "Non-Attached" When the Stakes Are High

How do you stay calm when the stakes are sky-high — like your kid's health, your partner's wellbeing, or the future of the planet? How do you face chronic pain without falling into self-pity? And how do you actually turn meditation from a good intention into a real habit?

In this bonus episode, Dan sits down with the brilliant meditation teacher and author Sebene Selassie for one of our weekly live sessions — a combo of guided meditation and audience Q&A that usually happens for subscribers over at DanHarris.com. We're sharing this one for free so you can get a taste.

Together, Dan and Sebene dig into:

  • Practicing non-attachment when life feels anything but abstract

  • Meeting chronic pain and illness with compassion (without spiritual bypassing)

  • The real psychology of habit formation — and why it's not your fault if you struggle to "just meditate"

  • What the Buddhist teachings actually say about impermanence, rebirth, and the self

You'll also hear a grounding 10-minute guided meditation, some laughter (including a cameo from Sebene's dog, Chacha), and a reminder that you don't have to do this practice alone.

Join Dan live every Tuesday at 4pm ET for these weekly meditations and Q&As — plus access to all our guided meditations — by signing up at DanHarris.com.
