#47: Sanjivana: Creative Enlightenment & Meditation

52 min • 4 september 2023

Creative Status is a podcast about using creativity as a vehicle for improving your life by deconstructing ego, integrating the shadow self, and designing and manifesting a real life.

Every episode explores how the creative process can help you GROW REAL by moving towards wholeness in yourself by making the unconscious conscious.

In this episode of Creative Status, I had an enlightening conversation with Sanjivana, an ex-monk and meditation teacher who has been deep into the introspective realms of realness and has some lessons to share with us that he brought back from his journey.

One of the main themes of this conversation is 'enlightenment' - in particular some of the misconceptions that exist around it when it's filtered through the ego and seen as a kind of 'ego augmentation device' for people that want to feel 'special' or otherwise compensate from whatever shame (etc) is driving the ego to 'exist' in the first place.

We also talk about a pathway that Sanjivana has learned on his journey and some of the ancient wisdom for helping us navigate the journey from fragmentation to wholeness.

This is a really fun and powerful conversation and I'm sure you'll get some fuel and insight for your own journey!

Thanks a bunch,

Oli
