The phenomenal Greg Baer drops by to talk with me about exactly how radical honesty is the key to real love. Let’s face it, when we hide, lie, or tell half-truths… it takes a toll, you can feel it.

The Power of Human Connection
This week I talk with Jason Lee Mitchell on the power of "sharing presence" as we explore the variety of human connection – superficial and life-long. Most of us crave deep and lasting connection, but struggle to know how to create it.
We explore the benefits and challenges of approaching life, ourselves and others without conditions. If we connect with people will we be at a disadvantage in this heart-hardened world? Jason has made it his business to help people create and strengthen their human connections. He’ll talk about why experiencing our unity is one of our greatest assets.
Jason teaches ‘Sharing Presence’ Workshops in London, and around the globe. Using his background in film and theatre, he now dedicates his life to Sharing Presence workshops and writing as a medium to inspire each of us to share our true self in a way that is in harmony with life.

Learn more about Jason and his upcoming US workshops in New York and Salt Lake City on his website.

Big Mind: Tasting Liberation

with Genpo Roshi

Continuing with our exploration of Mind/Brain/Spirit, I’m delighted to speak to Zen Master D. Genpo Merzel, a Zen revolutionary who makes Zen Teachings relevant to everyday life. The core of Genpo Roshi’s teaching is that each of us can instantly awaken to our true nature and his Big Mind process was developed over many years and published in 2007 in Big Mind / Big Heart.

We’ll talk about the book and the Big Mind process - which will undo all of your thinking about what meditation can be and how little time it takes to feel the benefits of this practice.

Dennis Merzel is one of a small group of Westerners recognized as lineage holders in both the Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions and Genpo Sensei began teaching in 1982. He founded the international group he named the Kanzeon (Love and Compassion) Sangha in Salt Lake City. He is currently conducting workshops throughout the world and can be found on www.bigmind.org

Get Creative and Get Unstuck

We often talk about having our creative 'edge'. But did you know that you are at your most creative and dynamic when you are feeling peaceful? Contrary to what you might think, you are not going to become a lump on the couch, or not want to leave the house. In fact, you are most likely to get into dynamic and creative action when you are in a state of calm.

Rewire the Brain to End Stres
So how’s the stress these days? Does it sound just a wee bit impossible you might be able to wave goodbye to stress? You already know I’m going to tell you can. So the kicker is, it’s as easy as just changing your brain.

Major breakthroughs in neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to constantly change, grow and adapt, mean that we can actually "rewire" our brains to eliminate most stress.

It's actually quite simple according to Don Joseph Goewey (say Go-eee) an expert in stress, performance and human potential and author of the new book Mystic Cool. See, it’s not that stress is in your mind, apparently it’s in your brain...

"If you've got a problem with stress, like 80 percent of Americans do, it has to do with the way your brain is wired," Goewey says. "This book is about how you can rewire your brain."

Mystic Cool combines the latest research in neuroscience and psychology with practical spiritual insights.  And before your brain explodes at just the thought of all those put together, Don has got techniques you can use and he’ll share them on air so you can try them out.

Last one standing then...!

Ultimate Psychological Freedom
Kara Stamback from Pransky and Associates (www.pranskyandassociates.com) joins me as we talk about the idea that we all have complete freedom. Complete. Freedom. When Viktor Frankl (Man's Search For Meaning) said that even when the Nazi's were torturing his body, he still had ultimate freedom to choose, what did he mean? Was he simply an exceptional human being with something special about him that no one else has? And If we all have this capacity, how do we tap into it every day? Kara, whose work is based on Three Principles Psychology, will talk about what ultimate psychological freedom means and just how accessible it is.

Kara Stamback, M.S., is a teacher, counselor, consultant and facilitator in principle-based psychology. A graduate of University of California at Riverside, she received a Masters of Science in Psychology from Western Washington University and is a registered counselor in the State of Washington. She has a range of experience in businesses, counseling individuals, couples and consulting with non-profit organizations. Her current interest is in sharing fresh insights about this understanding with people who are learning this for themselves and who want to share it with others.

Dream Chasing vs. Dream Getting

Has what you hoped you do with your life been relegated to a beloved (or disappointing) daydream fantasy? No matter what we tell ourselves or how sensible the reasons sound, there's no mistaking the feeling of an unfinished, unfulfilled desire. A life populated by our little and large disappointments is like sleeping on a lumpy mattress, you are tossing and turning all the time. What small steps - or large ones - could make a difference to you, and open up parts of your life to more ease and comfort - whether you are in the process of going for a big dream or not.

It Is Whatever You Say It Is.

What you talk about builds the house you live in. Ever catch yourself saying "Oh, I'm not good at that"?

I've had many clients tell me they can't manage this or that based on having never really tried it. We bust right through those to incredible new places. How? Because they are just lies. They are lies that we install as the windows in our house. Through these lies we view the world outside: a limited place of ever decreasing possibility. It doesn't have to be this way.

Who Says It's Impossible?
"The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going beyond them to the impossible" A C Clark

Have you noticed lately that lots of things we never thought could possibly happen, have happened? Did you know bionic research is in the process of creating the 'Million Dollar Man'? Actually she's a woman and she has a bionic arm she can attach where her physical arm used to be. How does she control it? Her mind. (See last months' National Geographic if you think I make this stuff up).

As people I think we are the same. What's impossible to us has a lot to do with how we think and what we decide are our limits. Today we'll explore how to shimmy right over those limits.

Awareness, Awareness, Awareness

Call it Mindfulness. Call it Presence. Call it paying attention. Whatever you call it, there is something powerful about zooming right into the now. If you've ever had a moment when you 'spaced out' - you'll know the horror of the possibility that much of your life could be lived unconsciously and unaware. That one day you might wake up and wonder where all the time went! We'll be talking about the life, lectures and wonderful inspiration of Anthony de Mello - amongst others.

The Real Nature of Giving
Something happens when you help someone with no motive other than to lend a hand. You know it. You’ve probably done it.  Remember the deep sense of...something...you felt when you did it.

That "something" is hard to describe, yet it is universal. When you feel like that, you know you have done something right. Something in alignment with that better part of yourself.

Fast rewind to Bryan Douglas thinking, "I wonder... If I would go out and help some people in a random city, would it inspire others and show them that there is hope, and also point out that it's the little things in life that really make a difference?"

I gave it a shot.

So he looked on Craigslist, found 5 people who needed help, drove 5,000 miles to Chicago and back and delivered a car battery, gave a lift to someone, gave clothes to a local charity, cleared out a demolished bathroom, and dismantled a swingset. 

Oh yeah, and wrote a book and maybe started a movement.

We explore what he learned about what it means to make a big difference with small acts. And small things you can do too.

INNATE HEALTH AND WELLBEING
An idea I've come across in recent years is this: when you have a clear mind, what arises is your natural and innate mental health and a sense of wellbeing. The idea is that wellbeing lives within you and is already part of who you are. Related to this is the equally appealing knowledge that this process is not one of progressive and slow enlightenment, but rather an uncovering of a deeply natural state available to everyone. If that's true, how do we get access to it?

YOU ARE NOT YOUR STORY
We all have explanations for why our lives are the way they are: Parents divorcing, the family had a lot of money fear, angry households growing up... all these things happen, and yet they can become more than just past events when we weave them into the reasons why we can't, won't or never will (be happy, have a good job, stop our addictions). In other words, they become our Story. The story of Can't. We all have one (or ten), but could you be more creative and happier without it? What would it take to drop your story and be free? and is it really just that easy? find out...

Guy Finley on Being Fearless and Free

My guest, Ali Berlin, says "It’s a bit like eating white sugar every day— you’ll feel an instant rush, but there is no long term satisfaction or sustenance until we learn how to identify and integrate the necessary elements for an exquisite life and a spiritual partnership."

The choice to love fully and face the challenges that arise within your union, creates one of the greatest sources of learning and growth possible in your life. Ali was telling me she calls this ‘Evolutionary Love’ — two complete beings joining in a shared reality. She’s going to talk more about this on the show.

Ali Berlin dedicates her life to one mission: to illuminate and activate the massive power of the human heart. She specializes in teaching people how to transform their debilitating fear, hatred and shame into invigorating clarity, love and fulfillment.

Learn To Follow Your Gut — Hawaiian Huna
Too many of us live lives of "quiet desperation." We continue to struggle to get the basic "nuts and bolts" of life that may seem to come so easily to others. We get impulses, but quickly override them with our doubts and our premature practicality. What about all the tny little ways we waste our time because we just don't say No, thank you — to something we don't want to do, or someone we don't want to spend time with. And what about the "juice" of life? Where does that come from and if we have it, why can't we feel it and follow it ?!

"We've forgotten how to work with the fundamental power we each have within," says Dr. Matthew B. James, international trainer, coach, and kumu (teacher) of Huna. Dr. James has helped thousands reclaim the meaning, joy, and connectedness of life by teaching the ancient science of consciousness and energy healing, Huna, and combining this with cutting edge therapeutic techniques.

On the show we’ll talk about the HUNA practices that teach us to trust our gut feelings. I think trusting our inner desires is a huge key to being happy. And if nothing else, if we trusted our gut, life would just get real simple, real fast!!

Are We Asking The Right Questions?
Author, speaker, consultant and the creator of the Shared Vision Network, Ken Foster joins me this week for some deep inquiry.  What if just the right question and taking time to find an answer could unlock a sense of direction and a feeling of joy for you?

Ken’s book "Ask and You Will Succeed" suggests that the practice of asking the right questions is a doorway to life-changing results.

Ken brings an exceptional 25 years experience and a wealth of knowledge in business, lifestyle coaching, and personal core development. Ken has two sides from what I can see, an intense success focus and a deep spiritual grounding.  He runs two successful businesses and I think you’ll see why he has inspired and pointed the way for many to live more fulfilling and abundant lives.

You’ll find more about his book on www.asksucceed.com

Refusing to Choose, Life As a Scanner with Barbara Sher
Barbara Sher is a somewhat of a Titan in the coaching world, having written numerous books including best-seller Wishcraft.  She is a woman who continues to break new ground year after year when it comes to living your dream – always approached with a fresh new angle like ‘How To do What You Want When You Have No Goals, No Character, and You're Often in a Lousy Mood’.  Her Twitter Idea Parties are a massive hit (they are where I met my sponsor in fact!) and her Success Teams have changed the lives of thousands of people.

Her book, ‘Refuse To Choose!’ deals with people who have so many interests they’re unable to choose only one (she has named them ‘Scanners’). This subject has obviously struck a nerve. "...since the book and the TV show have been out in the public eye, I’ve received an astonishing number of impassioned letters," she says, "and all of them say Thank you!"

As usual, Sher’s advice is not what you expect. She finds that Scanners aren’t dilettantes or undisciplined, and they don’t change interests because of A.D.D. or a fear of success. "They seem to be highly intelligent, multi-talented people who need to have more interests than the average person," she says.

If you are ready for a dose of Barbara’s refreshing and loving message, join us for the show.  You’re not a weirdo who just can’t settle on One Career anymore, you’re a scanner!

Magnetize TRUE Success
This week I’m thrilled you’ll be meeting my show sponsor, Peggy Pepper, as we talk about how you become a magnet for real success. Some people just seem to have IT. We all recognize IT in others and make the mistaken assumption that they were just born with IT. A little further investigation debunks that idea. Most successful people, the ones who exude some kind of special self-confidence have found ways to develop IT for themselves.

SCREAMS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, creator, Peggy Pepper is no stranger to success.  Within a very short time of launching her blog, she had thousands of subscribers in more than 42 countries.  Although a successful entrepreneur, Peggy honored a long-time spiritual calling, and became an ordained interfaith minister in 2005.  She is also a Success Team Leader with Barbara Sher (my guest next week, in fact) and a Facilitator of The Work — as well as a certified trainer in a wide range of human potential tools and resources — all in service to her mission of providing inspiration and support and to be a catalyst for others—to love the lives they live.

Peggy is all about a life of purpose and passion, peace and prosperity, kindness and compassion, wisdom and humor…

And she is a brilliant example of that. Before the age of 30, she was an award-winning creative visionary in the world of advertising.  Her entrepreneurial successes include the creation of an energy company, posting more than $2 billion in revenue and that is just a sample of her many successful ventures.   Her work as a coach, consultant and strategist for budding entrepreneurs was detailed in THE NEW ENTREPRENEURS:  BUSINESS VISIONARIES for the 21ST CENTURY.

She sponsors A New Way to Handle Absolutely Everything and her blog is http:screamsofconsciousness.com

And p.s. I LOVE her.  I reckon you will too.

Lessons for Living Without Regrets
It’s said that at the end of our lives we are very unlikely to think, “I sure wish I spent more time in the office.”  We can learn much about what’s important to us by considering what we would regret at the end of our days.  This week we’ll explore our own life desires by sharing the regrets and joys of those who reached the end of life. With me is Stan Goldberg and his latest book, is Lessons for the Living: Stories of Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Courage at the End of Life.

This is really a beautiful and moving book and I’m sure you’ll enjoy Stan sharing it with us.

Stan Goldberg is a Professor Emeritus of Communicative Disorders at San Francisco State University. For over 25 years he taught, provided therapy, researched, published and consulted in the area of learning problems and sudden traumatic life change. He has been a bedside hospice volunteer for seven years and writes lovingly of his experiences in this new book.

Stan has published six books, written numerous articles and delivered over 100 lectures and workshops throughout the United States, Latin America and Asia.

MINDFULNESS IN TIMES OF CRISIS AND CHANGE
Pioneering psychotherapist Ron Alexander draws on Buddhist mindfulness practices and tools from Positive psychology to teach others how to weather the storms of challenge and upheaval.

His  new book, Wise Mind, Open Mind , is offering further insight into what I am dedicated to bringing you each and every time we meet. This time our perspective is "mindstrength," the ability to develop mastery over our thoughts and to transmute our painful emotions. We will look at navigating change; understanding the cycle of crisis, loss and transformation; how mindfulness meditation and creative thinking can build new bridges for positive change.

Of course we undergo change for a reason and the reason is more joy, peace and compassion in your life.

Breathe that in.

Ronald Alexander, Ph.D., the director of the OpenMind Training® Institute, practices mindfulness-based mind-body psychotherapy and leadership coaching in Santa Monica, CA, for individuals and corporate clients including training professionals in Integral Psychotherapy, Ericksonian mind-body healing therapies, mindfulness meditation, and Buddhist psychology nationally and internationally since 1970.

TO FORGIVE OR NOT TO FORGIVE
The show falls on a date that everyone recognizes.  It seems to me the perfect opportunity to hold an encompassing and open conversation about hate, tolerance and forgiveness. Accompanying me will be Bill Cumming, the founder of What One Person Can Do (a program you've heard me talk about many times, based on loving kindness and the power within) and a man and father with first hand experience of our topic. At a young age his own daughter was brutally attacked (she is fine and thriving today).  Bill has since dedicated his life to understanding and addressing the roots of violence.
Do you believe there are some people who cannot, by the nature of their actions, be deserving of forgiveness?  What is our definition of forgiveness?
 
Bill has been doing transformational work for 30 years in schools, prisons, rape crisis centers, businesses and organizations of all kinds.  His work is accessible to everyone in a conversation called ‘What One Person Can Do’ and he can be found on www.oneperson.net

3 Principles for Spiritual Parenting
This week we explore the idea that who we are is what we teach our children. Ami Chen Mills-Naim is my most amazing guest this week. We will talk about returning to the sense of the intuitive and spiritual in our family lives.

Who would you be without your story? Live with Byron Katie

Byron Katie has one job: to teach people how to stop suffering. When Katie appears, lives change.

In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year fall into depression, anger, and addiction, Byron Katie woke up one morning and realized that all suffering comes from believing our thoughts. Questioning every painful thought she had, she developed an amazing method of inquiry she called The Work.

The Work asks four simple questions that turn stressful thoughts around. When you Work with a thought, you see around it to the choices beyond suffering.

Katie has been bringing The Work to millions around the world for more than twenty years. Her free public events, weekend workshops, nine-day School for the Work, and 28-day residential Turnaround House bring liberation to people everywhere.

Her School for the Work is August 14-23 in Los Angeles and Katie will also present a one-day workshop on Thurs., July 30 in San Diego during the "New Thought. New World." conference.
Call 1 800 98 KATIE (52843 or go to www.thework.com for more information

p.s. to really get the most of the this hour live with Katie, I do recommend downloading and doing the Judge Your Neighbor Worksheet from Katie's site.

Jacob Glass & Freedom From Stressful Thoughts
Jacob Glass has been speaking on spirituality since 1987. His teachings on Inner-Peace draw a loyal crowd in Southern California and to his blog on the Internet. His much-loved, blended teachings draw from not only from his deep understanding of A Course In Miracles (the bedrock of his work) but also have roots in his own profound practice of the Law of Attraction and Daoist teachings.

What I love about Jacob is his fearlessness in not only applying his teachings in his own life, but his openness in sharing that journey with others. His lectures are referred to as Adult Spiritual Education – and they absolutely are – there is little room here for our stories of why things can’t be done, and a fierce love for doing what it takes to lift free of your own rampant, sometimes ‘insane’, stress-producing thoughts.

Check your willingness levels – and join us!

Jacob is the author of Invocations: Calling Forth the Light That Heals. His lecture schedule is posted on his website.

We are partway through a month of shows dedicated to RELATIONSHIPS: how men and women create intimate and powerful connection.

Nicolas Nobile: You Are More Powerful Than You Think
We often think of our lives as precarious, but Nicolas Nobile actually stood on a ledge in Buenos Aires five stories up, ready to end his life.  Before he jumped, a force came up from within him – telling him to step away from that ledge and then giving him him life saving guidance.  Did he speak to an angel? Was this a miracle?  Or is that guidance and power more actually an everyday thing… part of all of us?  I'll explore these questions and more with Nicolas and we'll talk about how he has dedicated his life to learning, teaching, and helping others. Oh yeah, and we'll delve into his new book, The Nine Powers to Transform Your Life. 
 
Find out what you can learn from the ledge.
Learn about Nicolas at www.nicolasnobile.com - his work is available in Spanish and English

Paul Wedding: Do you know what you already know?
Paul Wedding joins Elese this week to delve deep into questions of who we are and what we know to be true of ourselves.  It has been often said we are spiritual beings having a human experience rather than human beings having a spiritual experience. Paul is someone who has come to not only accept this as absolute truth, but to live life from this principle completely. Paul's journey will inspire you to discover what you know to be true about yourself, for like so many of us, he did not consider himself to be a spiritual man, nor someone on a spiritual quest.
 
Paul and Elese will talk about the day Paul woke up to know that life is not about learning, it is about remembering.

Election Special: It's Personal and It Matters with guest Bill Cumming
From co-founding the project that would become "Upward Bound", to 30 years of transformational work in schools, prisons, rape crisis centers, and businesses and organizations of all kinds, Bill is a living example of total dedication to a cause. That cause? To have 'loving kindness', 'ownership', 'responsibility' and 'choice' jump out of the dictionary and be experienced directly by everyone he meets. Acknowledged as the Coach's Coach, Bill would far rather be known as a man who loves the ocean and is a world-class hugger. And no one 'hugs' 6.7 Billion people quite like Bill does!

Bill and Elese will spend the hour on current affairs and look at just how very personal the world's economic and political issues actually are. Is your vote meaningless in a world gone to pot? Or could it be you have far more control than you think? Come join the show and dial in with your views - let's have a conversation that matters!
