This week Nicola and Di chat with the wise and down to earth Gary Gorrow. Gary is a Vedic Meditation teacher, Ayurvedic health coach, mindfulness expert and co-founder of the world renowned retreat, Soma Byron Bay. Gary has worked with thousands of people from all walks of life and is dedicated to empowering people with simple techniques to tap into their inner stillness.

In this enlightening conversation, Gary talks about what mindfulness actually is, and how it differs from meditation. He explains how meditation is a powerful tool that helps a person to go inwards and connect with their spirit. Gary also shares why he believes learning to live more inwardly and awaken our inner lives is the most important thing we can do, and how it can help us to reach the 200% value - where we have a beautiful balance of 100% outer life and 100% inner life. 

Gary talks about why we need to redefine how we think about spirituality, and that it’s really about connectedness. Our connection to self, connection to spirit, connection to nature, connection to others and connection to the moment we’re experiencing. We also talk about the 5 main causes of suffering and why it is that humans can get so caught up in negativity. Ironically though, he explains how suffering is our greatest teacher. 

This was such a powerful conversation and we could listen to Gary’s wisdom for hours. We hope you get as much from this episode as we did. Enjoy.
