The Mind of Play

The Mind of Play

This episode looks at play through the lens of Manomayakosha, the mental/emotional sheath (see Koshas, Season 1). Slipping into a playful mindset is beneficial in many ways.

  • Enhances creativity
  • Reduces stress
  • Improves problem-solving skills
  • Increases resilience
  • Strengthens social bonds
  • Boosts self-confidence
  • Elevates mood
  • Enhances cognitive function
  • Helps with emotional regulation
  • Increases optimism

Theresa and Sherry share stories of how play has shown up in their lives, from jobs to grandkids. They explore the value of play through storytelling, song, and poetry, and its capacity for healing. They also touch on the shadow side of play, including being overly competitive.

Ultimately, they agree that a playful mindset is essential for optimal growth, connection, and overall wellness.
