Interview with Author Ethan Indigo Smith on IP 4.5 - Flowing with the Flow

SUBSCRIBE ON iTUNES

Ethan Indigo Smith (@ethanindigo on Minds) is a spiritual rebel who helps others find personal sovereignty through his many excellent books on spirituality, meditation and society. The episode focused primarily on the theory and practice of meditation, and is so jam-packed with invaluable insights and terrific techniques that I can hardly believe it all fit into an hour. There are infinite ways to think about nothing, and in this talk we cover some of the most transformative ideas and concepts that one could ever contemplate.
