Prescription for the World: Your Transformative Sensing Intelligence
November 4, 2010
Hosted by Marti Spiegelman, MFA
[Download MP3] [itunes] [Bookmark Episode]
Joining me this week is Emmy Award winning composer and producer Gary Malkin, master of the emerging genre of Transformational Media – unique combinations of music, imagery, and spoken wisdom calibrated to open sensing awareness. This is precisely the same as opening relational awareness, the key to coming alive and living well. Last week we spoke about ‘thinking big’ and found out that it really means ‘sensing big’, but if you’re living in the stress lane, your sensory intelligence is actually off-line. Without a full bandwidth of sensory awareness the human psyche contracts; we become fearful, ill, and we fight against the world, losing touch with the vast experiential wisdom we carry. The only cure is direct sensing itself! Through the art of transformational media Gary has developed astonishing tools for healing, initiating, and maturing our sensory intelligence. With this maturation we regain our multi-dimensional connection to ourselves, to one another, and the world. Tune in!
Awakening Value: Shamanic Technologies of Consciousness and Success
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
Imagine a technology that takes human consciousness to the next level – one that reveals a new understanding of what is valuable and possible in the abundant support of life.
In fact, we already have the technology – the organizing principles of consciousness preserved in the wisdom of indigenous cultures. These principles unlock our highest creative capacities and fuel our leap into evolutionary action, individually and collectively. It's the leap we dream of in this age of global challenge.
We need courageous individuals who have a passion to contribute at a collective level, and are available to learn and apply this technology in their arenas of genius and expertise. What we seek – better ways to create, govern, and live in harmony – will rise as we re-organize our individual and collective unconscious into active collective consciousness.
