Selfishly, when I got offered the opportunity to talk to Matt about meditation and mindfulness I jumped. Having been on a mission to better understand the practice the last few (years) months, this was a very timely conversation.
Not only is Matt a great block, but he’s also an absolute force when it comes to the art of training the mind. Matt went in deep on the subject of meditation and answered all of the questions I had around mindfulness and mediation (VERY well).
Matt broke down what it means to practice meditation and helped me understand how it is not much different from training your muscles in the gym.
We then discussed a lot of the science, and how meditation works as well as the benefits of the practice, including how the psychological benefits of meditation and being mindful can have a drastic impact on your physiology.
The concept of equanimity is something that I’ve heard a lot when going in search of a better understanding of meditation, Matt really clearly helped me understand what this meant, and why this is one of the essential foundations of meditation.
Meditation can be a daunting practice to start, but Matt shared some really simple ways you can get started, and really broke down a lot of the almost intimidating walls people commonly face when starting out.
This was a fantastic episode, that I learned so much from, and thoroughly enjoyed.
Please reach out to Matt through his Instagram if you want to find out more about the practice.
