Episode 132: Systema Thinking, with Tyson Yunkaporta
This week, a mind-expanding walkabout through the realms of body, mind, and spirit, with Indigenous Australian author, scholar, arts critic, and martial artist Tyson Yunkaporta. Tyson is a Senior Lecturer in Indigenous Knowledge at Deakin University, and author of the extraordinary book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Knowledge Can Save the World. Originally aired on Tyson's own podcast, The Other Others, this episode delves into the confluence of Systema and Indigenous thinking, including:
* Physical practices to enhance thinking and awareness
* Blurring the boundaries between self and other
* Distributed cognition, and how we can use it
* Reconnecting with place, finding right story, and living a relational existence
Mind-blowing stuff, for those interested in such things. For a better context and understanding of half the stuff we "yarn" about here, be sure to purchase Sand Talk (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/sand-talk-tyson-yunkaporta?variant=32280908103714) in hardcopy or audiobook (https://www.amazon.com/Sand-Talk-Indigenous-Thinking-World/dp/B07WSHGCHQ/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) format (narrated by the author). For more mind-expanding (and unapologetically triggering) yarns, check out Tyson's own podcast, The Other Others (https://open.spotify.com/show/2SYIwG9Yc91UeM79srVzTr), on Spotify.
