We explore how "play," as defined by openness and exploration, can be used in any scenario to help cultivate spiritual awareness and abilities as well as help us to grow, expand and thrive most efficiently in everything we do.
This episode features a panel of spiritual thinkers and explorers (Julien Williams, Dave Mox & Erich Dezoeten) who discuss this concept of play with me and how we can remove restriction physically, mentally and spiritually by infusing play into our lives.
We cover the array of benefits that come about when we can reframe our activities and actions according to play and desire rather than obligation, rigidity and lack -- as well as how we can work against ourselves and create energetic blockages when we force things or feel like they have to happen.
Fear and other unpleasant emotions can serve as signposts for specific areas to play in and explore and developing a gratitude and openness toward these feelings can help us grow in remarkable ways.
We talk about how to apply this concept at the physical level with your movement and health (including a technique you can try out), as well as in other areas of your life, including work, relationships, dreaming and more specific spiritual development too.
This episode was an absolute blast to record, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
