source: New Thinking Allowed     2016年6月20日
Gino Yu is currently an Associate Professor and Director of Digital Entertainment and Game Development in the School of Design at Hong Kong Polytech University where he oversees the Multimedia Innovation Centre, a leading-edge think tank and research center on digital entertainment. He previously taught at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology where he helped to establish the Center for Enhanced Learning Technologies. His main area research interests involve the application of media technologies to cultivate creativity and promote enlightened consciousness.

Here he discusses several approaches to cultivating and applying greater self-awareness in business, with a particular emphasis on somatic awareness. He also notes the importance of physiological and psychological energy in organizations. He makes reference to pioneering psychological work by Wilhelm Reich, Abraham Maslow, Jean Piaget, and Clare Graves. He suggests that we are innately creative and that, at times, we need to “unlearn” forms of social conditioning that block our native abilities.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). His master's degree is in criminology. He has served as vice-president of the Association for Humanistic Psychology, and is the recipient of its Pathfinder Award for outstanding contributions to the field of human consciousness. He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
