Here Is My Teacher From Many Lives - with Manoj Dias

1 hour 2 minutes

This week, Sah welcomes Manoj Dias, a co-founder of Open, a modern mindfulness studio merging technology, culture, cinematography, and proven practices to create community and presence.

In 2015, Manoj co-founded A—SPACE, Australia’s first multidisciplinary drop-in meditation studio with a special focus on creating access for BIPOC and youth. Through his philanthropic work with lululemon he has supported trauma-informed therapeutic programs for refugees in Melbourne, social justice movements in Oakland, and mindfulness scholarships in New York City. Last year his debut book, “Still Together” was released to critical acclaim.

In this episode, Sah and Manoj chat about suffering, grief, the call to service, and somatic healing.

They discuss....

the inevitability of pain, and finding bliss in painful experiences

ancestral traumas and their hidden gifts

finding the motivation to show up in service, even on the hardest days

the mystical power of prayer and communing with spirits

the benefits of breathwork and somatically processing trauma

Manoj's company, Open, and how it brings healing to people both online and in-person

being a BIPOC individual in the spiritual community, and how crucial representation is in the wellness industry

and more....
