How often do you find yourself going through the motions of life without patience or living in the present moment? Hurried busyness is so common in our modern lives that it’s become the norm. Even if you have never meditated regularly, you likely know the feeling of being in flow - that pure state of presence and calm, which can often feel so unattainable in a culture that constantly presses us to outdo yesterday’s productivity. Thankfully, meditation has been having a zeitgeist moment. More people than ever are familiar with the concept of mindfulness, and nowadays those who are dabbling in meditation don’t always fit the stereotype. It seems the deeper and deeper enmeshment of technology in our lives has also brought greater accessibility to meditation teachers, especially for those of us who need more guidance in a practice that feels so foreign.
One of these meditation teachers and thought leaders is Manoj Diaz, a speaker and meditation teacher who was born in Sri Lanka and later raised in Australia. In this episode Manoj gives us simple steps to start a mindfulness practice with meditation and breath work. While starting meditation and breath work may feel daunting, it doesn’t have to be. This conversation aims to demystify meditation, show you how to quiet your mind, and inspire you to open up and slow down.
