Jeffrey has a fascinating conversation with Aaron Stern, Founder, Executive Director and Core Faculty of the Academy For the Love of Learning in Santa Fe. As designer of the core curriculum at the Academy, Aaron is also a composer, performer, educator and former dean of the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago. Aaron consults with educational, arts, spiritual and social-change organizations and communities, around the world and is also trained and certified as a transpersonal therapist. A brainchild of a special relationship that Aaron had with the late musical genius Leonard Bernstein, the Academy for the Love of Learning draws on a wide, multidisciplinary spectrum of resources: educational philosophy and practice, the arts, transpersonal studies, contemplative traditions, earth-based wisdom, body-centered practices, psychotherapy, organizational consulting, and the wisdom distilled from personal experience. The scholar in residence at the Academy is American priest and theological exponent of Creation Spirituality Matthew Fox. Creation Spirituality is a movement grounded in the mystical philosophies of medieval visionaries Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart and Nicholas of Cusa. Author of twenty-eight books on philosophy, religion, and spirituality, Matthew Fox’s most recent book, The A.W.E. Project: Reinventing Education, Reinventing the Human has led him into an increased engagement with issues impacting the education of children, something very dear to the heart of The Academy and Aaron Sterns vision. In Aaron’s and the Academy’s view, who we are as human beings is indicated by the depth of our openness to life, our engagement with our process of learning, and our self-awareness and capacity to be as fully awake as imaginable with one another. because of this viewpoint, the Academy is strongly experiential and calls forth a high degree of self-reflection, both individual and collective. This ground of deepening self-awareness provides the stability and freedom from which right action can grow. I think you will find my conversation with Aaron warm, stimulating and uplifting because he is dedicated to living a life focused on the highest aspects of the human experience and bringing out the best in others so that they too can really enjoy the love of learning that is the deepest of human birthright’s.

Jeffrey has an uplifting conversation with Dr. Rick Levy, a licensed psychologist in private practice with an international clientele and a pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine. Dr. Levy’s groundbreaking work are simple techniques that empower anyone with the ability to heal themselves and master their destiny. Dr. Levy has been featured in various media, including Prime Time Live, FOX News, ABC radio and Washingtonian Magazine. Fluent in Spanish, French and English, Dr. Levy has taken his techniques to five continents, to people of every culture, class and age, from the world’s international power-elite to the indigenous people of the Amazon and Africa, demonstrating that his techniques work universally well for all people and that anyone can apply them. As a respected clinician and proponent of state-of-the-art mind-body medicine, Dr. Levy has consulted with numerous health organizations, universities, government agencies, the U.S. Congress, and international peacekeeping organizations. Dr. Levy has also served as Chair of the Greater Washington Association for the Advancement of Psychology, Legislative Affairs Chairman of the District of Columbia Psychological Association, and member of the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Joint Hospital Privileges Task Force. He led the National Hospital Privileges movement, which succeeded in winning hospital privileges for psychologists and ensured that patients in general hospitals would have access to psychological services. He also engineered the first credentialing standards for psychologists who practice in hospital settings. Dr. Levy was awarded the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Duquesne University in 1976. He is board certified in clinical psychology, psychotherapy, hypnosis, forensic medicine, and forensic examination. His work to increase scientific knowledge related to the potential of the human mind began in graduate school. In the twelve years that followed, he earned his stripes in traditional leadership roles that included: Chairman of the Departments of Psychology at Somerset State and Holidaysburg State Hospitals in Pennsylvania, Assistant Professor of Psychology at Frostburg University, and staff psychologist at St. Elizabeth s Hospital in Washington, D.C. He has been the recipient of several awards, including the Distinguished Professional Service Award of the District of Columbia Psychological Association. Dr. Levy’s science and methods are described in his book Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind, published by Atria Books/Beyond Works Publishing, an imprint of Simon rely on a unique combination of knowledge from multiple fields: mind-body science, advanced psychology, theology, philosophy, clinical hypnosis, meditation, neurochemistry, neurophysics and quantum physics. He has the ability to guide a person or group through specific mental procedures that unleash vast amounts of power that is secreted away in the human mind. Dr. Levy’s procedures deliver many times as much mental power as the methods employed by today’s self-help gurus, power a person can use to rapidly achieve their goals across the spectrum of human endeavor: health of body and mind, mastery over the challenges of day-to-day living, financial prosperity, finding love, or even shifting the political landscape to forge justice on a social scale. His methods result in instantaneous, measurable, permanent changes in health and well-being. By virtue of the simplicity and sheer effectiveness of his methods, delivered through an integrated system of touch-point communications, Dr. Levy has the potential to make a staggeringly large, global impact on human prosperity . I think you will find this conversation with Dr. Levy most informative and inspiring and help you to understand the great advances that are available to us all as we move into an unlimited future for all life on planet earth.

I found my time with Paulette delightful and truly investigative about the consciousness needed to develop ourselves further and how that can attract the best relationships possible.

Jeffrey has an incredible conversation with Dr. Merlinda Arnold, an interfaith minister, psychotherapist, choreographer, and change agent recognized for the lectures and workshops she has presented internationally over the past twenty-five years to promote wholeness and peace. Dr. Arnold is also the and executive director of Sacred Way connecting ancient wisdom with contemporary insights which also produces guided tours of sacred sites worldwide. As an expert in depth psychology, world religion, mythology, and cultural anthropology, Dr. Arnold has worked with prominent scholars such as James Hillman, Joseph Campbell, Marija Gimbutas, and Matthew Fox. Dr. Arnold served as The New Seminary’s american representative in Israel during the intifada of the late 1980s and early 1990s and has led women’s groups in Egypt, Greece, and Crete, as well as throughout Europe and the Americas, to explore ancient feminine mystery rites. Her art and dance workshop program, “The Mystery Quest,” uses as a therapeutic tool a replica of the Phaestos Disk from Crete dating to 1700 BC. In addition Dr. Arnold served as New Mexico events director for the presidential campaigns of Dennis Kucinich and John Kerry, led a pro bono group for murder victims’ families opposing the death penalty, and participated in several international relief efforts, including the 2005 Tsunami Response. She also co-founded Unity in Action, a nonpartisan political organization committed to uncovering common core beliefs to foster connections among people with different political views. Dr. Arnold is the author of The Book of Grace: On the Missing Scroll of Light, as well as two other titles: Omm Sety Remembered and The Fertile Crescent Revisited: Awakening the Buried Feminine to Heal Trauma. She also produced the DVD Dancing on the Milky Way I, which was featured at the 2006 New Mexico Film Guild Festival. We last spoke with Dr. Arnold last summer about her very special role as the guardian of the Om Sety manuscripts. Since that time Dr. Arnold has been to sacred sites throughout Europe, last fall focusing on a trip to the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. Recently she has has accomplished a great deal of research regarding the Pyramid Texts and the sacred areas of Abydos as they relate to the revelations in the Omm Sety manuscripts. This is a very special conversation and it will be presented in 3 parts because of the detail and broad based nature of it’s content. I’m sure you will find it as fascinating and eye opening as I did, and you will come away with a greater understanding of the Egyptian mystery schools and their historical underpinnings and how they relate to astrology, the development of western civilization and conscious human evolution. I also think these conversations will contribute to your understanding of the historical development of metaphysics as we know it today.

Jeffrey has a fun filled conversation with artist and writer Margot Datz whose prolific works appear in many places, both in private homes and public community landmarks such as the steamship terminal in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts where her fabulous mural serves as a greeting and a goodbye for visitors and residents alike. With her diverse talent, Margot has crated scenes from Tuscany, gnome tableau s, dreams of whaling days departed, and fancies that rival the delights of Hieronymus Bosch, Shaker borders, a faux tool shed and most things in between on walls in private homes whose owners define the various permutations of fame, fortune and talent. Her work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Rolling Stone, Newsweek, and on the airwaves of National Public Radio, PBS, and CNN. Her work is also in the corporate collections of Xerox and Amoco Oil, and as an 80 foot mural at Children’s Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. Margot has been living off her art since she was 21, and even though her formal education came from New York’s SUNY university system, Margot s artists eye was more schooled traipsing around New Orleans during Mardi Gras than paying attention in lecture halls at school. Margot has always loved costumes and anything that was exotic, and it shows up in her work whose spirit captures the fanciful, sweet and provocatively revealing. Margot has also owned two art galleries, and has functioned as an interior designer. She lives a prodigious art filled mermaid life on Martha’s Vineyard. Margot s book, A Survival Guide for the Land Locked Mermaid - a collection of her wisdom and fantastic art, focuses on the the importance of feminine solidarity, and personal expression balanced with discretion. Margot feels that The Landlocked Mermaid is a symbol of the contemporary woman, trapped in a paradoxical dilemma of being part worldly and domesticated, and part untamable and intuitive. Margot s writing and art unlock the she-nymph struggling to emerge from within, in a swirl of whimsical and witty wisdom that lovingly offers tips for today s world of dating, mating, and beyond. Margot s whimsical and loving hearted art is a true reflection of her own warmth, wit and adventurous spirit. I think you will find my conversation with Margot full of delightfully creative insights and observations and a great introduction to a lovely artist and writer who has followed her own unique path to make a life fulled with beauty.

Jeffrey has a fascinating and revealing conversation with Etheric Therapist Vickie Cashman about her discovery of an ancient system of clearing and healing the inner bodies that profoundly effect our human life experience. Vickie has been involved in the healing arts for over 25 years and freely shares her incredible wisdom and findings that hundreds of her clients have found so remarkably helpful. The clearing work is based on an in-depth understanding of the 5 inner bodies and seven chakra energy system. The clearing work in this form is very unique and has a growing list of transformed clients. Here is what some of them are saying: “The clearings have removed the clutter so my inner guidance comes through more clearly. I feel more balanced: it’s improved my life tremendously.” Peggy Ludwick “After the Clearings, I feel better about myself” Stacy Simpson “After my treatment, I experienced a release from a long standing condition of stress-related headaches. I have also found that a resource from within me has been released that enables me to communicate in negative situations maintaining a clear and direct manner while at the same time being sensitive and compassionate, I expect to see more improvements as time goes on.” Jim Crowder “After a session, so many of the thoughts, actions, and beliefs I was troubled by in my life became clear as to why they had been a part of my life. Jeffrey helped in clearing a path for attitudinal and behavioral change to move forward with more grace and insight. I was so impressed with the experience, I have since given clearings with Jeffrey as gifts to friends” Karen Woodard “After the sessions I feel like I can be more myself. I feel so much better that words just can’t describe it” Lex Phillips “It’s the only healing process that has reached my real inner problems rather than treating the symptoms” Carolyn Darland The reason we need clearings is because that over the years our inner bodies and chakra s have accumulated thought forms, attitudes, judgments and beliefs which may have helped us as children, however, as adults they have become blockages which stop us from living a productive and balanced life. We feel stuck, stagnant and we don’t know why. We just know something is wrong and that life is not everything it could be. Our inner world is blocked and life gets hard and complicated. When we clear these blockages our electromagnetic river (our spirit) begins to flow. We are electromagnetic beings after all; and since we are both matter and spirit, the spirit part of us is designed to flow through every cell in the outer and inner bodies. Each cell has the intelligence and imprint of the whole, a hologram. During childhood and adult traumas (falls, accidents, abuse) the spirit flowing in each body part and chakra can become fixed or stuck in the past. These Spirit pieces can be healed and brought up to the present. When healed and in the “now”, we regain our self esteem and sense of Self. We then begin to realize the 99% of our inner world. We come out of Spiritual Bankruptcy and reconnect with our Inner Treasure, our own individual Spirit, which is connected to the Whole. I invite you to listen to Vickie speak about the discovery of this remarkable new work and how it can deeply benefit anyone. The window on the website that says 5 dimensional Clearings can be accessed if this work draws your attention and you want to know more.

New idea for new tax to support Carnival New leaders at all our Rotary Clubs . And the VI Institute for development is meeting this week in Washington.

Jeffrey has a warm and invigorating conversation with Leigh Ann Phillips, singer, songwriter and sound healer from southern Colorado near Crestone. Leigh Ann’s background is in piano and voice, and she is a trained massage therapist and certified Sound Healer who uses her voice and quartz crystal bowls in her bodywork and healing sessions working with individual clients and groups. Leigh Ann sees music not just as entertainment , poetry, or inspiration, but also as a path and tool to greater awareness and self-healing. Leigh Ann’s sound healing sessions are always recorded for later listening as a personally attuned meditation. The person lies down on the massage table where crystal bowls are placed on their abdomen and back so they can physically feel the vibration as the bowl is played. Leigh Ann has hand-held practitioner bowls that she moves around and over the body, as well as crystal bowls that are alchemically made with gemstones such as emerald, citrine and iron. The bowls sound differently based on what is going on with the body, and the pitch of the bowls will change, as well as the overtones as different frequencies overlap with each other. Leigh Ann also plays the piano, harp, mountain dulcimer, chimes, the gamelan (a xylophone-like instrument), tinchas (small Tibetan cymbals), and brass and copper Tibetan bowls in addition to using her voice in 60 to 90 minute sessions. Leigh Ann feels that body wisdom is much more profound than what we think . The body does not know how to lie. If there is an issue that has not been addressed, whether stress or an emotional blockage, the body is the last stop. Sessions are opportunities to allow the mind to step out of the way and change brain states and consciousness and give the person space and time to self-heal and rejuvenate. The sounds of the crystal bowls are etheric, powerful, clear, sometimes dissonant depending on what is going on with the person, but still beautiful and mind-altering. It is an opportunity to go deep within, release, and expand. Sound healing is a direct path to establishing new neurological networks that create the conditions for increased happiness and health. Because we literally hear with our skin - not just our eardrums - we literally feel music, and it can be transformative on many levels. We tend to perceive what we expect to perceive, but sound helps breaks open our perceptual boxes and allows us to expand our consciousness. If we are open to new experiences and allow ourselves to trust our intuition and not automatically reject paradox, we can experience life with more joy, less stress and more synchronicity. Culturally, we put such a high esteem on knowledge, yet we have forgotten that knowledge comes from ideas, which are birthed from creativity, which sprouts from the imagination. Einstein was quoted as saying that imagination is more important than knowledge. I think he was spot on, and sound can help open the pathways of the mind to enhance imagination. One of the most powerful tools of healing and transformation is the human voice. It is the only sound instrument we have access to that resonates from the inside out. Now take all the research that is showing what is truly possible, that our bodies operate on both a mechanical and quantum level, and allow yourself to imagine what is possible. In the recording world, Leigh Ann broke out with the release of her 2004 debut CD, Just Over Those Mountains. The title track which we will play at the end of this podcast won the Silverton Jubilee Songwriting Competition that year as well as a songwriting award in England. Her compositions are a dynamic blend of piano-based thought-provoking pop, folk, and orchestral Americana flavored with a bit of jazz. Expanding her musical palette even further, in 2007 she released Journey Into the Mind, a beautiful guided meditation CD featuring piano, vocal toning, and the hypnotic sound of the crystal bowls. Leigh Ann s lyrics are often inspired by the dramatic surroundings of her home in the foothills of the spectacular Sangre de Cristo range. The rural beauty and vast expanse of the San Luis Valley at her doorstep provides a buffer from the frantic media clutter of modern-day life. When not working at home in this secluded retreat, Leigh Ann speaks and performs often throughout southern Colorado, northern New Mexico, and elsewhere . From my experience sound is one of the cardinal aspects of how the voice of the divine expresses itself through and in the created universe. The crystal bowls are a truly remarkable way to feel and hear this sound as it passes through your physical body. I think you will find what Leigh Ann has to say most remarkable, and her lovely music will touch your heart. The Omni Art Salon theme music, When Angels Smile, is provided courtesy of Back To Earth

Einstein was quoted as saying that imagination is more important than knowledge. I think he was spot on, and sound can help open the pathways of the mind to enhance imagination. One of the most powerful tools of healing and transformation is the human voice. It is the only sound instrument we have access to that resonates from the inside out. Now take all the research that is showing what is truly possible, that our bodies operate on both a mechanical and quantum level, and allow yourself to imagine what is possible. In the recording world, Leigh Ann broke out with the release of her 2004 debut CD, Just Over Those Mountains. The title track which we will play at the end of this podcast won the Silverton Jubilee Songwriting Competition that year as well as a songwriting award in England. Her compositions are a dynamic blend of piano-based thought-provoking pop, folk, and orchestral Americana flavored with a bit of jazz. Expanding her musical palette even further, in 2007 she released Journey Into the Mind, a beautiful guided meditation CD featuring piano, vocal toning, and the hypnotic sound of the crystal bowls. Leigh Ann s lyrics are often inspired by the dramatic surroundings of her home in the foothills of the spectacular Sangre de Cristo range. The rural beauty and vast expanse of the San Luis Valley at her doorstep provides a buffer from the frantic media clutter of modern-day life. When not working at home in this secluded retreat, Leigh Ann speaks and performs often throughout southern Colorado, northern New Mexico, and elsewhere . From my experience sound is one of the cardinal aspects of how the voice of the divine expresses itself through and in the created universe. The crystal bowls are a truly remarkable way to feel and hear this sound as it passes through your physical body. I think you will find what Leigh Ann has to say most remarkable, and her lovely music will touch your heart. The Omni Art Salon theme music, When Angels Smile, is provided courtesy of Back To Earth

Jeffrey has a wonderful conversation with Deborah Koppel Mitchell, a Circle leader, facilitator and the publisher of Spheres Circles Magazine and Web site. She is also a contributing-author of the book “Inspiration to Realization; Real Women Reveal Proven Strategies for Personal, Business, Financial and Spiritual Fulfillment,” compiled by “Conscious Business Coach,” Christine Kloser, of Love Your Life Publishing AND-is the author of the upcoming series, “Notes from a Modern Day Pollyanna.” Deborah is also the creator of the “Pollyanna Power-Positive Attitude In Action,” series and product line she started developing in September of 2007. In 1998, inspired by an amazing group of like-minded women in her life, Deborah got “the nudge” to call together her first Women’s Circle, because she knew that bringing women together in this way would create magic. As she realized that her own work was part of a growing movement in women’s spirituality, Deborah launched Spheres Circles Magazine, and began developing the magazine and events as a direct source of connection designed to support and encourage more women and men to create circles and to bring Circle Principles into daily life. Deborah’s experience with Circles inspired her quote; “Circles create pockets-of-peace.” Deborah’s experience acting in film, commercials, and as a talk show host on “Women Talk with Deborah Koppel,” a public access television show that aired for two years, helped Deborah to develop her skills as a Circle leader, speaker, and facilitator. Drawing on more than 10 years of experience in marketing, public relations, events, and facilitating Circles, Deborah s work continues to evolve and grow as she creates more and more venues for connecting with the intention of benefiting ALL. I think you will find this conversation with Deborah a delightful investigation into the power of being positive and what being a modern day Pollyanna really means, something that should surprise you, I know it did me.
