“Our peacefulness should actually be in relationship to things, so everything around us doesn’t have to be in peace all of the time for us to have some peacefulness. And just because there’s disruption in the field because things are being pointed out and things that have been avoided or actually revealed does not mean that our personal peace is being disrupted.” ~ Sebene Selassie Join The OHMazing® Way podcast creator, producer and host, Beth Reese, PhD, E-RYT, RCYT, YACEP, and guest Sebene Selassie, a Brooklyn-based teacher & writer who explore the themes of belonging and identity through meditation and spirituality. In the first half of the podcast they discuss using mindfulness as a doorway to explore pain associated with cancer, and cultivating presence and peace. In the second half, Sebene leads a mindfulness practice, shares about her forthcoming book on belonging, and they discuss mindfully investigating race and identity. “Often the dominant culture has taught us that we don’t want disruption because we want to keep things in status quo. So disruption feels like non-spiritual. When something is disrupted people feel like it’s an attack on the truth, when actually the truth is being revealed, and we can be in peace in relationship to that.” ~ Sebene Selassie Sebene Selassie is a Brooklyn-based teacher & writer who explores the themes of belonging and identity through meditation and spirituality.
