My guest is Manoj Dias – author, teacher, speaker and co-founder of Open, a modern meditation organization based in California. I have been using Open to participate in the January meditation and breathwork challenge, and it's quickly becoming my favorite mindfulness app. If you'd like to experience it for yourself, download the Open app here. We discuss:  How Manoj found himself on the intersection of meditation and technology How meditation came into Manoj's life From corporate marketing to being a meditation teacher  Transforming the story of "there's something wrong with me"  How Open is giving spirituality a different marketing campaign  Meditation as a gateway to a life of clarity and ease Manoj's cultural and religious background, and what it was like growing up in the Buddhist tradition  How Manoj knew that he'd just met his spiritual teacher  The journey of listening to your body  Expanding from a drop-in meditation studio to a global app    Finding the balance between rhythms of creation and rest as an entrepreneur  Trusting your body's wisdom Finding harmony between the heart and the mind   Manoj's decision to go from teacher to a tech entrepreneur   Connect with Manoj Dias:  Manojdias.com.au @manojdias_ Open meditation, breathwork and movement app  Connect with Ksenia:  kseniabrief.com Ksenia's email list Instagram @ksenia.brief YouTube Ksenia Brief TikTok @ksenia.brief Subscribe, rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts Follow the podcast on Spotify Related episodes:  217 Natalie Miles: Your Intuitive Power in Business and on Social Media 191 Kalpana Alejandra Arias: Ecosomatics, Reindigenization and Living A Devotional Life In The Digital Age 96 David Harshada Wagner: Plug Into The Mystical Path In The Midst Of It All 85 Dr. Andrew Weil – Expanded Consciousness, Breathwork & Matcha
