EP 286 - Annaka Harris
Today on the Pretty Intense Podcast we are talking with Consciousness expert Annaka Harris, author of "CONSCIOUS: A Brief Guide to the Fundamental Mystery of the Mind". Today on the show Annaka reveals how understanding our consciousness can transform our lives, unlocking creativity and connection. Awareness shapes our experiences, influences our thoughts, and connects us in ways we might never have imagined. We dig into psychedelic therapies, and how they can help us to drop the elusion of self, allowing us to connect with the Universe and consciousness. An open mind can open doors in our life, allowing new ideas and different perspectives to flow to us. Exploring the depths of our minds and what makes us truly *us*. Don't miss this enlightening journey!
