This week we weigh in on one of the most studied yet misunderstood topics – love.It exists in all cultures around the world, and is the subject of countless movies, novels, pieces of music and artwork throughout human history. In fact, it’s hard to imagine any of us would be here without it. Love is essential for our survival. And yet, our desperate need for love can lead to frustration, vanity, attachment, rejection and other destructive forces. In this episode, we discuss the key elements in truly understanding real love. We also cover the important role of love in the actor’s life, whether it’s self-care and maintaining good mental health, or in the tricky skill of creating believable romantic relationships on stage and screen. Check out the brand-new Spiritual Psychology of Acting website:www.spiritualpsychologyofacting.com If you’d like to get in touch with us, you can do so by emailing podcast@spiritualpsychologyofacting.comIf you have any feedback, thoughts, topics you think we should cover in future episodes or questions about the Spiritual Psychology of Acting…whatever it is, we’d love to hear from you. Follow us:Instagram: SPOA - https://www.instagram.com/spiritual_psychology_of_acting/John Osborne Hughes - https://www.instagram.com/john.o.hughes1/Jordan Turk – https://www.instagram.com/jordan.turk/Twitter:SPOA - https://twitter.com/spiritualactingJohn Osborne Hughes - https://twitter.com/JOsborneHughesJordan Turk - https://twitter.com/jordantheturkFacebook: SPOA - https://www.facebook.com/SpiritualPsychologyOfActing ‘Love’ Omid 16B (EP version)Composer – Omid NourizadehCourtesy of aLOLa Records P & C 2022Published by aLOLa / Westbury Music Ltd. An Awakened State production.
