About David Christian Szabo
David Christian Szabo is an internationally accredited mindfulness meditation teacher and author who helps people connect to what he calls "the river within."

He's the author of Wow Now Dreaming and creator of the transformative River Meditation series, which launched with over 500 participants on its first replay session alone.
The Conversation
In this conversation, David breaks down why "God trauma" from negative spiritual experiences blocks so many from inner peace, how walking meditation can be more powerful than sitting still, and why the Divine Presence might actually be speaking in your own voice. He reveals his journey from corporate burnout to spiritual teacher, shares how quantum physics validates ancient mystical practices, and explains why treating God as an "eternal family" rather than a distant force transforms everything about spiritual connection.
