Many people struggle to adopt a consistent and effective meditation practice - a practice that has for millennia proven to be a reliable path to inner peace and insight. In this conversation with former monk and meditation teacher Matthew Zoltan we explore the effects of indoctrination through organized religion, the fallacy of meditation techniques, life from outside-in versus inside-out, somatic expression of emotions, regulation through sensation and the long term effects of meditation.

Matthew Zoltan is a former monk and meditation teacher. His insights into what works are based on decades of hands-on research, reflection and solid experience from successfully working with clients and patients with all sorts of physical and mental health issues, and with meditators interested in their own self-development. He has led hundreds of meditation courses and retreats and has also released a meditation app called Undo.
