Welcome JF Martel, filmmaker, writer, and cohost of the superb podcast, Weird Studies. Sometimes, we have a guest who really gets the spirit of what we’re up to here at the Mind Bod Pod… JF is one such guest. He full-on designed a practice for us based on his love of old-school, Dungeons-and-Dragons-style role-playing games… the kind that (in JF’s words) “usually happen in dank basements.”
That’s right, in this week’s episode, JF is our Dungeon Master!
**Watch this podcast and our fun-filled afterparty in VIDEO over at www.mindbodpod.com where you can comment and let us know how the practice landed for you!
As we follow JF’s guidance, our inner vision opens, and we trek into the dark underbelly of our imaginations.
* What is the practice of surrendering to a story, especially in speculative fiction like fantasy, horror, and science fiction?
* What exactly IS imagination, anyway?
* Is there a reality here beyond our own subconscious?
* …and what happens when we take it seriously?
Join us for a discussion of dream yoga, Jungian archetypes, shadow selves, disaster scenarios, and the imagination as a sense organ. Bwwhahahahahahahahahahaha!!
The Afterparty Video (visit www.mindbodpod.com)
This week, we discuss surrendering to a story as a kind of meditation, what happens when we move towards the scary and the uncomfortable, and how we can use our existential ambition to elevate Dungeons and Dragons into a transformative spiritual practice.
That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week.
Love always,
🧘🏽♀️ Tasha & Jeff 🧘🏼♂️
