510. Building a Support System for Growth with Manoj Dias


Listen Later

How many of us truly understand what it means to be mindful?

Manoj Dias was raised under Buddhist mindfulness traditions. Today, he’s also deeply embedded in the modern world. For some time, he was chasing a different life working in marketing and finance, but that experience – and the toll it took on his health – only strengthened his resolve as he found his way back to his roots.

Having learned so much about the art of being present, he co-founded Open, a modern mindfulness studio merging technology, culture, and cinematography, with proven practices to grow community and nurture presence. He dives deep into the mindfulness of embracing pain, what it means to be mindful in your relationships, and how it feels to be truly embodied. 

We also talk about:

  • The brokenheartedness of disembodiment
  • Being mindful in your friendships
  • Creating a relationship with pain
  • Changing your narrative around love
  • Leaving your old life behind
  • Making the decision to cut people out of your life
  • Transformative Buddhist philosophies
  • Cultivating a healthy relationship with technology
