Would you like to feel calmer and more aware? Have you heard all about the benefits of meditation, yet you have a challenging time trying to quiet your racing mind? Our guest today is Zen meditation teacher, author, and poet Henry Shukman. Several years ago, Henry had a severe head injury and discovered he wasn’t able to utilize 100% of his cognitive abilities. It was then that he got in touch with his heart and realized that that is where his guidance lives. Henry has decades of experience as a full-time meditation teacher. Today he talks about the new app he developed called “The Way” that teaches people how to take a long-term approach to meditation. It is a step-by-step process. Many meditation apps offer endless choices, but this is a systematic approach to meditation with single lessons each day. Henry talks about being in a state of love, while also handling the day-to-day. He explains that it is about living in the world yet taking a few minutes each day to acknowledge a way to “be with” what your emotions may be. Meditation allows us a little window to “be” and not “do.” Henry also shares his traumas as a child. He felt abandoned, which led to a skin condition which got deep into his psyche. He felt a constant sense of stress and anxiety. When his parents were home and not traveling, they argued in the house. Henry revealed that his parents were both academics and spies for the British government. They spoke Russian fluently and got recruited into this risky business. There was so much secrecy at home and when his parents divorced, it affected him deeply. This was a time when there was denial, and no one was talking openly about feelings and emotions. When he was in his 20s, he started to seek answers.  Henry was deeply intuitive and sensitive. He had a couple of friends who meditated, including a dear grandmother figure, in her 80s, who meditated. These friends seemed happy. He learned Transcendental Meditation to start. He realized by practicing meditation that he was not happy and wanted to feel better. The calming that the mediation offered let him see he was suffering. He sought therapy to examine this suffering. He further studied Buddhism, which delves into the nature of suffering. Henry has practiced Zen meditation, as well as mindfulness-based stress-reduction, and various meditation processes. Henry is the Spiritual Director emeritus of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His new book is “Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening.” His app, “The Way,” offers more than 30 free meditations which will teach a step-by-step process based on Henry’s years of practice.

What happens when we really utilize the power of our mind to break through blocks to success in our lives? Or maybe you are facing a pivot and do not want to go backward into old patterns? Our guest today is researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped literally thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is “Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment.” Ravinder talks about solid research which analyzed the importance of your state of mind, including a technique which improved cognitive abilities, reduced stress, and also made progress toward dementia. When she studied it further, she knew she could go deeper. What she wanted to do was take away the mystic around “self-help,” and show how in a scientific manner that positive change could be proven. She studied various self-help techniques so that the reader could find methods that work for themselves. She was looking specifically at a 12-minute meditation, which had spiritual undertones. She talks about the Sikh tradition in which she was raised, although she turned away from organized religion. She further studied brainwave entrainment and how it works with meditation. She suggests bringing your own faith into your meditation, if that feels right for you. She talks about what beliefs mean and how certain ideas get into our mind. The subconscious beliefs are so powerful, but first she says we must understand where the beliefs originated. She talks about the divided mind that Freud explored which includes the Ego, the Id, and the Superego. She furthers talks about the idea of the 4 Selves and what they mean. Who do we believe we can be? It’s not about perfection, it’s about our personal successes. We can actualize them. Her training is about being the best you can be. She further looks at psycho-social development, starting as an infant. Each period of our life lets us learn different things. She outlines the stages and shares ways to correct behaviors toward empowerment through various exercises. We can look back at our own childhoods and see where patterns started. Ravinder discusses her research into the Law of Attraction – Ask, Believe, and Receive. She talks about insecurities, self-destructive behaviors, and the importance of choosing, rather than asking. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com

 Is it possible that science can help explain miracles? Can the laws of quantum physics prove how miraculous healings are possible? Lisa continues the conversation today with researcher, teacher, and author Joseph Selbie who breaks down these concepts and shares documented stories of miraculous healings. We all have innate soul powers for healing, and it IS possible to take charge of our own health. Joseph believes that no disease is incurable. Today Joseph discusses his new book, “The Physics of Miraculous Healing -- How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.” Joseph shares a story about a woman who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She had gone up and down with her health and was declining to the point that her parents were ready to move her into Hospice. Yet, even in that position of being so ill, she was clear of mind and strong of heart. She would spend hours and hours each day praying for others. She felt that she was in the flow of the Divine. She reports hearing a voice that said, “Get up and walk.” So she did. She removed her oxygen mask, got out of bed, and began to walk. She saw her doctor the next day who declared that she had absolutely no MS. Her subtle energy body had changed. Instants later, her physical body had changed. This woman had a powerful connection with the Divine. She had no idea that she would be cured. She just wanted to be a contributing member of society, so she spent her time praying for others. Emotions, mind, and spirit all play a part in healing. This is something that needs to be built. Joseph talks about how you may have created your illness, so therefore you may be able to heal it. If you harbor a belief and you believe something will happen to you, it very well may. If you feel a lack of forgiveness or feel betrayed in some way, this may contribute to diseases manifesting. Emotions of sadness and regret, even running in the background, can cause the subtle energy body to become distorted. This hologram makes it difficult to manifest a healthy body. The template is distorted. If these distortions are running a lot, people may get illnesses that may be difficult to cure. Your body begins to disfunction. It causes a negative distortion in your cells. How can self-healing happen? In the full potential of yourself, you could heal. If you knew with utter certainty, and believed in unlimited powers of healing, miracles can happen. Getting strength of mind can help. Joseph talks about meditation and how it can put you in touch with your spirit. You can feel it. You begin to leave unwanted beliefs. You can learn to feel and then move your subtle energy. You can do this through breathing exercises and intention. Happier people tend not to get sick. Cells are supported by a strong, healthy flow of energy. Joseph talks about living in an intentional community and his decades of meditation practice. He discusses the importance of believing in yourself. He talks about being a soul first. We must have a consistent practice to be able to self-heal. We can also believe in the power of medicine to heal. Science is so important, then you can go deeper into physics, and therefore healing can happen. It is a combination of science and spirituality. Joseph is a researcher of physics and combines this with his decades of meditation practice. The universal spiritual teachings are all based on prayer and intention. Visualization can also help to accelerate the healing. We are all in a sea of Infinite Intelligence. Those powers are always available to us and working with us whether we focus them or not. If you meditate even a little, if you choose more positive thoughts, it will help with your concentration and creativity, as well as your healing abilities. The more you take control of your health, the greater the benefits. Even if you do not heal, you may experience a more elevated sense of being. Medicine may be necessary, and spirituality can help. You are awakening to who you are. Our bodies have an innate sense of healing. It is natural to regenerate, and we can tap into these healing abilities. Our thoughts can definitely help us along the way! This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: josephselbie.com.  

Why do some people have seemingly miraculous healings while others do not? Why do some people who are diagnosed with a terminal disease decline rapidly while others with the same disease live longer than expected? According to our guest today, teacher and author Joseph Selbie, we all have innate soul powers for healing, and it IS possible to take charge of our own health. He believes that no disease is incurable. Today Joseph discusses his new book, “The Physics of Miraculous Healing -- How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.” The modern medical system tends to believe that miraculous healing is nearly impossible. While they consider certain diseases to be terminal, there is still a tiny fraction of people who do not die. Medicine cannot explain why. Physics can better  explain this phenomenon. Classical physics is a matter-centered view of reality. That was the predominant method of physics upon which modern medicine is based. This began to change nearly 100 years ago, starting with Einstein and his ideas and particularly his theory of special relativity which states that there is no such thing as matter. Matter is energy in another form or pattern. The universe is made of energy. Quantum Physics then further explains how all of matter is purely energy. It has 2 behaviors – it can be stable, or it can behave like formless waves. According to Joesph, some or all of the atoms or molecules in our  bodies can take on the formless waves of energy for healing. The body is like a holograph. We live in a holographic universe. This comes from M-Theory – the leading physics of today. This states we essentially exist in 2 worlds. One of matter, and one of pure energy. We project the universe into being. We can impact this energetic world. We can do this through prayer and intention. This is why prayer can work. It involves signals being sent through this seamless energy realm. We cannot exist without it. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have an immediate effect on our subtle energy. This is similar to a broadcast signal. We are constantly, and unintentionally, affecting our bodies and also the lives of people around us. Once we realize this, we can learn to be much more deliberate about the signals we send out. For example, if you listen to the news, to the anger, the violence, that’s an unintentional signal that we are sending all the time. This shapes us. You can actually track the response of negative news. The primary way that we send signals is through our emotions and connection to spirit. We are constantly sending out signals. It affects us and everyone around us. This involves our emotions and our deeply held beliefs. But we can change them, if we so choose. We can do things to make our emotions more positive, make our beliefs less limited, and we can connect more deeply to our spirit or God within. Once we connect to this, we see we are part of Infinite Intelligence. We can use this power for healing. We see that when large groups of people intend together, it can have dramatic effects. Joseph also shares stories of people who have experienced miraculous healings. He talks about a man who was hospitalized with lymphoma. This man was an innate optimist. He read an article about a new chemotherapy treatment that was available at the hospital were he was. After talking to his doctor, he was able to receive this new treatment. He began to feel so much better, to the point he could leave the hospital and fly home unaided. Joseph continued the story by saying about a month later, this same man read another article that stated the experimental chemo actually did not work. He got sick again and went back to the hospital. The doctor told him that there was another experimental drug, which he tried, then he felt better and went home. He then read another article about this treatment which stated that it also didn’t work. The man fell ill again, then passed away within two days. Joesph talks about this cautionary tale and our beliefs. He reminds us that we need to believe in ourselves and our own innate ability to heal. People who have been told they have a certain amount of time to live tend to typically die around that time. The medical community does so much to heal, but beliefs can sometimes be stronger.

Are you ready to take control of your life and live from greatness? Do you believe that magic is possible? Our guest today is author, coach, and spiritual teacher, William Whitecloud. In 1996, inspired by the momentum of his own self-transformation, William founded a program called Living From Greatness, a personalized course dedicated to empowering participants in discovering and living their authentic nature and expressing their own creative spirit. Today he explains that negative dynamics such as lack of time and money, being affected by outside forces such as the economy, being stuck, and worrying about the future, are purely symptoms of functioning from Low-Level Creativity. The cause of Low-Level Creativity is the belief (conscious or unconscious) that we don’t have the power within us to conceive of and manifest our highest fulfillment. William will outline a simple process for taking your power back. William teaches his “Natural Success” program to thousands of clients worldwide and also contributes to social and environmental projects in Africa, for example, supporting vital snakebite anti-venom initiatives in his childhood home country, Eswatini, located in Southern Africa.  His books include “The Last Shaman” and “The Magician’s Way:  What it Really Takes to Find Your Treasure.” Info: www.williamwhitecloud.com
