S06E02 - Consciousness of Poetry - Part 1 -Interview with Adam Walker, PhD.

Hello Beautiful Souls, be prepared to have your romantic hearts kindled and your bodies tingle with waves of expansion. The next two episodes are parts 1 and 2 of a  conversation between Sanyasi Sivani and Dr. Adam Walker where they explore experiencing consciousness in poetry. In part of the conversation, they discuss poet Jorie Graham’s observation that many forms of entertainment today bypass the encounter where we lose out on the opportunity to experience, feel and be changed by the emotions and landscapes that are being described . Close reading poetry gives us the chance to slow down and live within a deeper awareness, and Śivani-ji and Adam explore questions such as How can poetry change our consciousness? What is the difference between the egoic mind and the higher mind? and How do they affect the experience of reading a poem? Stay tuned next week for the second part of this delicious conversation  with Dr. Adam Walker.
