Written By Lian Brook-Tyler

This week's show is with Morgan O. Smith. Morgan O. Smith is a renowned meditation instructor and spiritual teacher, who experienced a life-altering spiritual awakening in 2008 that led him to establish Yinnergy Meditation.

 
 

This initiative focuses on deep brainwave entrainment to foster emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Yinnergy has been embraced by various institutions, including non-profits, schools, and healthcare centers, particularly in marginalized communities. Morgan's upcoming book, Bodhi in the Brain, explores the connection between meditation and neuroscience.

Honored with numerous accolades for his dedication, Morgan has collaborated with institutions such as the Institute of Noetic Sciences and has presented at prestigious conferences like the 37th Annual ICR Conference. He has also been featured on podcasts, including "Guru Viking" with Steve James.

Before his spiritual journey, Morgan enjoyed a successful career as a comedy writer, stand-up comedian, and television personality, most notably co-hosting the award-winning show "Buzz." Sharing the stage with famous comedians and appearing in various television shows, indie films, and documentaries, Morgan's insights even inspired Arian Herbert's book, "The God Behind The God.”

In this conversation, we explored Morgan’s journey to non-dual awakening, his fascinating work with brainwave entrainment and psychedelics, and the work he now does with young people.
