Unlocking Inner Worlds: Mythology, Imagination, and Soul-Discovery

Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Podcast

Growing up in rural Austria, ISTA facilitator Ashisha Arpana’s favorite toy was her imagination. She gleefully played with it, eventually turning what happened in her mind's eye into a career in film and media.
The imagination, she tells us in this deep and exploratory episode, is one of the most important keys for us in letting go of the old, disempowering stories we tell ourselves and getting back into currency with life as it moves through us.
Ashisha explains that we can spark our imagination—our vision of an amazing, vibrant present—through mythology. This is not just a collection of stories from ancient cultures, but living, breathing codes for tapping into the source of our inner worlds. It is where the pulse of life comes from.
And there are some simple things we can do to allow this source of our inner life to pour through us into the world, allowing us to shape-shift and, ultimately, choose how our future will go.

Simon and Ashisha also discuss:

• how we often out-source our imagination to Hollywood
• how myths are always evolving. They’re not for copywriting!
• coming back to the child-like sense of wonder in each of us
• our bodies as instruments of the soul
• what a soul is and how to communicate with it
• collective dreaming and shaping culture from there
• the imagination of the heart in the Sufi tradition
• how to reclaim your own story, step-by-step, without judgement
