In this second part of our conversation Mat shares how ignoring the signals and what his body was telling him led to a breakdown. 

What you will see when you follow Mat on Instagram @matwakeham is a man who is working through and doing well, a man who is learning from what's come before and sharing his lived experience which I have found really valuable. 

A lot of his work now is about integrating the wisdom of the body with the wisdom of the mind and soul towards a truly integrative practice. As someone who has spent a lot of time seeking to develop a spiritual practice, I can say from experience that the body is often overlooked or ignored in that process so I have found what he shares refreshing and helpful.

Together with his wife Marcella they have started a great podcast which you can check out on Instagram and all good podcats platforms @thebodyknows_podcast

Mat is also passionate about art and inspired by his time with @gorillaz he has started an account to share the cool anime-style art of that period of his life @phoo_action
