We\u2019re back with another guest whose episode couldn\u2019t be more perfectly timed. You may have heard my chat with him on the TOM Organic podcast earlier this year and, if you did, you\u2019ll know I refer to him as my spiritual guru but, if you didn't, you\u2019ll very soon understand why. Manoj Dias has taught me so much of what I know about sitting with discomfort, understanding suffering and the deeply life-changing impact of meditation and connection. We explored some of this on the Taboo Podcast but went a whole lot deeper here, which I found enormously helpful particularly during this shit-storm of a year and I hope you do too.\n\nAlthough you might not be able to imagine it of either of us as we are now, it was not wellness that brought us together but our nightclub glory days before our ways to yay really began. That alone is a reminder of my favourite theme \u2013 the non-linear nature of life and the way it unravels in many chapters not just the one you know someone from. Born into the Theravada Buddhist tradition, you might think Manoj skipped logically and smoothly straight to his position now as a globally recognised meditation teacher, writer, entrepreneur & co-founder of Open Meditation... But, squeeze a successful corporate career, teenage fatherhood, a mental health breakdown, an eating disorder and an ensuing transformative healing journey in between and you\u2019re getting closer to the real picture.\n\nManoj shares all of the facets of himself so generously as well as busting some myths on meditation and I hope you enjoy our chat as much as I did.\n\n+ Follow Manoj here\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\n+ Join our Facebook community here\n+ Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!
