Summary

Cory Allen is an author, meditation teacher and host of The Astral Hustle Podcast. He is also the creator of my favourite Guided Meditation Course www.ReleaseIntoNow.com and has completed thousands and thousands of hours of mindfulness practise during his life.

Meditation is a little bit like a stretching routine; it's something most people know they probably should do, but due to a lack of information, fear of feeling silly or misconceptions about what it entails, the barriers to entry can be prohibitive to starting.

In this episode I ask Cory to explain the fundamental components of mindfulness practise, from sitting posture to mindset, optimal session frequency to expected benefits, plus a great background to his own journey.

If you are new to meditation, hopefully this breaks down some barriers and gives you the steps needed to begin a routine of mindfulness training. If you are already a meditator, allow yourself to deepen your practise through Cory's fantastically experienced insight. He's also got a glorious voice.

0:00.0	Good morning. This week I am joined by none other than Corey Allen. He is an author, meditation
0:09.9	teacher and host of the Astral Hussle podcast. He's also the creator of my favourite guided
0:17.2	meditation course, Release Into Now, and has completed literally thousands and thousands
0:23.5	of hours of mindfulness practice during his life. My intention was to get someone who
0:31.9	is of the highest caliber as a meditation expert that I could find and get them to explain
0:38.8	the absolute basics on a podcast. The thinking behind that was kind of like if you wanted
0:46.9	to learn how to throw a jab and you got taught by Floyd Mayweather. You might actually
0:53.4	think well, his body of knowledge is significantly wider than this, but if he can distill down
0:59.2	all of that knowledge into the fundamentals, I am going to get the best start within this
1:04.7	discipline that I can. Hopefully going to break down some of the barriers and preconceptions
1:12.5	that you may have about meditation if you've never done it before. And if you have done
1:17.0	it before, Corey is going to be able to explain how to deepen your practice and focusing
1:21.8	on the fundamentals irrelevant of how many hours you've put in is never a bad thing
1:26.4	to do. So here we go. Corey Allen.
1:44.2	Corey Allen, welcome to Modern Wisdom. Thank you. Thanks for having me, man.
1:48.6	Very good to hear from you. It's really strange to hear your voice for once without
1:53.3	there being binaural beats in the background. Well, I could put some on if you'd like.
2:00.1	That'll be funny. Yeah, the meditation course releasing to now that you did through
2:06.1	Aubrey Marcus has been, I think I can pretty much recite it now, verbatim. I could probably do it
2:14.0	back and give my best Corey Allen impression and actually give it back to you.
2:19.4	That's funny is that I would probably barely recognise that. I have vague memories of what's
2:26.0	in it at this point, but you know how that goes? Yeah, for sure. For sure. So a lot of listeners
