Welcome to Round II of the Meditation Party. The feedback we got from our first episode was overwhelmingly positive, so we\\u2019re going for it again. Meditation Party is an experiment we\\u2019re running with a chattier format \\u2013 more of a morning zoo vibe, but way deeper, of course. The real agenda here is to show that meditation doesn\\u2019t have to be a solo death march; it is vastly enhanced by having friends. 

Dan\\u2019s co-hosts in this episode are his two close friends: the great meditation teachers Sebene Selassie and Jeff Warren. Sebene Selassie is based in Brooklyn and describes herself as a \\u201cwriter, teacher, and immigrant-weirdo.\\u201d She teaches meditation on the Ten Percent Happier app and is the author of a great book called, You Belong. Jeff Warren is based in Toronto and is also a writer and meditation teacher who co-wrote the book, Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics with Dan Harris. Jeff also hosts the Consciousness Explorers podcast.

In this episode, we talk to Jeff about what it\\u2019s like to be a meditation teacher who has ADHD. And even if you don\\u2019t have ADHD, there\\u2019s a lot of practical value to this conversation, because we all have unruly minds, and Jeff has found some great ways to work with this condition. 

We also take listener questions, discussing topics like drugs. Specifically, psychedelics \\u2014 and whether you\\u2019re violating Buddhist precepts if you take them. We also talk about how frustrating it can be to repeatedly wake up from distraction in meditation. 

And finally, we have a segment talking about the stuff we\\u2019re psyched about right now\\u2026 in which Sebene sings for us.
