Speaker Bio: Sam Knight is a meditation enthusiast who believes in the practice as a way to maintain a healthy nervous system. He views meditation as an opportunity to take a step back, pause, and take a deep breath. Sam considers it a daily practice, and the compound effect of doing it consistently can build up over time, creating a barrier between one's thoughts and reactions. He believes that maintaining one's nervous system is essential because it sends electrical signals all over the body, and maintaining it is like maintaining a car. Failure to do so could lead to injuries, disease, and eventually wear the body down. Sam compares it to holding the gas on a car, which could ultimately damage the car.
