Jorge Conesa Sevilla: Alive & Awake in the Wild World
Manage episode 273387317 series 2576249
I discovered Jorge Conesa Sevilla from my reading and research around lucid dreaming. He was one of the first authors that I'm aware of to do extensive research into sleep paralysis and speaks about it in his book "Wrestling with Ghosts." Jorge has spent his lifetime in nature and exploring consciousness through spending considerable time in a primal state in the wild, living off the land as well as undergoing long fasts for spiritual insight and biological health.
In this episode we speak about the effects that modern urban and city living is having on the human psyche and we speak about how we can return to nature and dream for healing. Jorge Conesa-Sevilla PhD, has a triple degree in Biology, Philosophy and Psychology which gives him an evidence based perspective on states of being that are ignored and even viewed as uncanny to most of western mainstream science.
Topics of the Dialogue include: Shamanism, lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, vision quests, fasting as a spiritual practice, zazen meditation, and ecopsychology, working close to nature for healing.
Jorge does not often agree to interviews, so this is a special treat! We are speaking about having an in person 5 day nature fast here at the Rainbow Bridge Sanctuary in Hawaii.
