Richard Giles

What is astrology saying about this time on our planet?

Whilst Astrologer Richard Giles focuses on astrological events for 2010, he also explains how many of these changes will extend well beyond 2010.

For example, the Grand Cardinal Cross which was at its peak in August 2010 will still affect us well into 2011.

Richard spoke about this time in the heavens as being a very unusual time, with many unusual configurations.

Richard Giles has been an astrologer for over twenty years and he also works with Fung Shui and Geomancy.
He contributes to a vast range of publications, numerous Websites Magazines, and has been featured on many radio programs and teleseminars.

He says it’s all about balancing up land, home, and business using the best of traditional principles from this wonderful 5,000 year old system.

Why is our Right-Feminine Brain so important at this special time, whether we are male or female?

This audio is included in the course - Elevate Your Consciousness

In this interview, Dr Genie Laborde shares with us the work she’s been doing on the power and influence of the right-brain and the feminine.

As you know, the right-brain is linked to a more feminine, not necessarily female, but feminine, approach to life, business, and the way we do things.

So it’s not surprising that as we enter this time of a  Global Shift in Consciousness, there is a great move to a right-brain approach in business, and society in general, throughout the world.

Anodea Judith

Dr Anodea Judith

 

How Chakras help us to understand the global move from the Love of Power to the Power of Love

BONUS: the two interviews with Dr Anodea Judith  are on the same download page

In 2009, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Dr Anodea Judith on two separate occasions.  The first was during my time broadcasting on Healthy Life Radio and the second time was when I launched my Learning Loving and Laughing (now Raising Love Consciousness) interviews.  The download links for both interviews are on the same page. All it takes is just one click of the donate button on the right.

 

INTERVIEW – April 1st, 2009
In this interview, I spoke to Anodea about her book Waking the Global Heart: Humanity’s Rite of Passage from the Love of Power to the Power of Love.  She explained how she mirrors the chakra system to the evolution of human development on into our present crises and discusses some of the necessary, and perhaps even destined changes and transformations awaiting us.

On this model, she suggests that humanity has reached the heart level, where the key to all we do is in the Power of Love. 

 

INTERVIEW – October 13th, 2009
On this occasion, we spoke in more detail about the massive changes occurring in the world at the moment; her perspective on why they are happening; and how we can best seize the opportunities that these changes bring.  She explained the current global changes using the metaphor of the birth of a baby.  That there is always a lot of pain and chaos as a mother is actually giving birth. Then suddenly a beautiful new life arrives.  The greater the global pain and chaos the closer the sudden birth of our new era gets.

Of Chakras, Anodea says:
"Now is the time.
The body is the vehicle.
Consciousness is the driver.
Yoga is the key.
The Chakras are the map."

 

DR ANODEA JUDITH
Dr. Anodea Judith holds a doctorate in Health and Human Services, with a specialty in Mind-Body healing, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. Her best-selling books on the marrying of Eastern and Western disciplines with the chakra system have been considered groundbreaking in the field of Transpersonal Psychology and they are used as definitive texts in the U.S. and abroad.

With approximately 500,000 books in print, and translations in 12 languages, her books have won her the reputation of solid scholarship and international renown as a dynamic speaker and workshop leader.

Arjuna Ardagh

ArjunaArdagh

 

Have you experienced your "RADICAL AWAKENING" at this special time of the Global Shift in Consciousness?

BONUS: the two interviews with Arjuna Ardagh are on the same download page

As with Dr Anodea Judith, above, in 2009 I had the great pleasure of speaking with Arjuna Ardagh on two separate occasions. Again, the first was during my time broadcasting on Healthy Life Radio, and the second time was when I launched my Learning Loving and Laughing Project (now Raising Love Consciousness) interviews. The download links for both interviews are on the same page with just one click of the donate button on the right.

 

INTERVIEW – April 8th, 2009
Arjuna spoke about his International best-selling book, The Translucent Revolution.  The book documents Arjuna's journey discovering an exponential growth in what he calls a “Radical Awakening” of consciousness in people scattered throughout the world.  Arjuna described this awakening and how it can manifest in a vast range of areas in one’s life and indeed in the world.
Arjuna’s courses not only help you “awaken” but also teach you how you can help others do the same.

 

INTERVIEW – October 28th, 2009
Here, Arjuna explained what he means by “awakening” including that it’s a shift from thinking and conceptual living, to living from our essence.  It’s a move from thinking to experiencing in the present and he gives some very practical examples of what he means. 

Arjuna explained that one of the greatest benefits of this time is a return to ourselves. It dissolves the feeling of separation within ourselves; and also between ourselves and others and can transform our life in many ways especially with regard to relationships. 

Arjuna also divulges his personal beliefs about this time on our planet; what is happening, and what we should do about it.

The key to this time, he says, is to be of genuine service and contribution to others.

 

ARJUNA ARDAGH
Arjuna Ardagh calls himself an “Awakening Coach” because helping people experience a ”radical awakening” is his passion and has become his life’s work.  He also trains others to become Awakening Coaches too – which is very special.

He’s the author of the 2005 International best-selling book The Translucent Revolution. He’s written seven other books, and many audio and video products; and he’s appeared on television, radio, and in print in more than 20 countries.

Judith & Jim

Judith & Jim

 

If you're in Business of any kind, starting a business, or starting a special project – on-line or off-line; then these interviews are a must!

BONUS: this time the three interviews with Judith and Jim are on the same download page

 

INTERVIEW – March 11th, 2009
In this interview, Judith and Jim introduce us to the world of Soft Sell Marketing, especially on the Internet. We talk about the difference between Heart-selling and Hard-selling. Our global shift in consciousness sees Hard-selling, which still occurs all too often, as most definitely a thing of the past. Hard-selling is manipulative and shows no respect for the client. By contrast, Heart-selling, or soft sell marketing, is marketing from a Love Consciousness perspective.

 

INTERVIEW – July 22nd, 2009
Because of the release of Judith’s and Jim’s new book, The Heart of Marketing: Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back, I asked Judith and Jim to return to my Healthy Life radio program to have a chat about the book.

We talk about how the book is not only easy to read, but can act as a checklist if you’re planning a new website or new business.  When I bought my copy, I ended up with all these little Post-It notes marking the pages of Judith’s & Jim’s book that I must return to as I get to the different stages of my website launch.

So if you are starting a business or important project of any kind, there are many thought provoking questions and activities throughout the book to help you get clear on what you are doing and why, to ensure you’re on the right track in this age of Love Consciousness.

I know that I did get a bit over the top at times talking about the book.  But I can assure you it came from the heart. 

 

INTERVIEW – November 3rd, 2009
This was a slightly different interview as we spoke about our changing world and the changes they have noticed in recent times.  We also spoke about the all too frequent occurrence of high profile people speaking the spiritual talk but definitely not walking the spiritual walk.

 

DR JUDITH SHERVEN & DR JIM SNIECHOWSKI
Better known today as just Judith and Jim, these two very gentle and beautiful people have undergone quite a transition in their line of work over the years.

They were both actors many years ago.  And both trained in the field of psychology and behavioral science respectively.  A bit over 20 years ago, they got together and ended up working in the field of relationship counseling and since then have written many books.

More recently, yet another shift occurred when they moved into Internet Marketing and wrote the best-seller Marketing with a Heart: Love your customers and they will love you back.

Today Judith and Jim are the leading voices for soft sell, heart-based marketing movement.  In addition, through their new website, www.AgelessZoom.com, they are following a new passion; teaching people how to live in health and happiness well into their 100s.

As guest experts they've been on over 1500 television and radio shows including Oprah, The View, 48 Hours, CNN, Canada AM, and The Daily Buzz.

Jean Houston

Dr Jean Houston

 

As expected, an Insightful and Inspiring Call with Dr. Jean Houston – she also shares the source of her passion for cooking  

In this wonderful call, Jean explained how we are all going through the birth of a completely new era, such as the world has not known before.  She discussed how vital it is for us all to work on developing and moving to higher levels of consciousness so that we'll be in harmony with this new Earth of ours. 

Interesting Sidebar – the Gremlins
Interestingly, on such an important call, the gremlins came to visit me.  In the middle of asking Jean a question, one of the fillings in my teeth fell out.  So here I was trying to speak and yet at the same time, trying to get this fallen filling out of my mouth.

Then I began to hear a 3rd person on the line.  It took me a few moments to realize that I was getting the most incredible amount of feedback every time I spoke.  Thank goodness it was only happening from my end and so the replay is fine.

However, let me share with you the MOST amazing thing of all.  After the call, I was tidying up my desk and I found 5 long crystals with their terminals pointing toward the phone, under the papers on my desk.  And it was obviously the crystals that had amplified my voice on the phone to give me the feedback.

I'd been playing with the crystals the night before and hadn't thought about what I was doing in putting them near the phone.

Just shows how powerful crystals really are.

 

DR JEAN HOUSTON
Dr. Jean Houston, a scholar, philosopher, and researcher in human capacities, is one of the foremost visionary thinkers and doers of our time, and one of the principal founders of the Human Potential Movement. A powerful and dynamic speaker, she holds conferences and seminars with social leaders, educational institutions and business organizations worldwide.  She is a consultant to US Presidents and other world leaders, and also to the United Nations.

RianeEisler

Dr Riane Eisler

 

Both Capitalism and Socialism are now totally outdated and need to be replaced by Caring Economics

Dr Riane Eisler spoke about "Caring Economics", the subject of her latest book – The Real Wealth of Nations.
She explained that both the capitalist and the socialist systems were developed in industrial times and are part of a masculine “domination” model for doing business, government, as well as societal interaction. But those times are long gone and so neither system is effective today.

Today, we must focus on a feminine partnership model of interaction.  She said that so many of the emails that she receives, from both men and women, say that they find the new message of caring, nonviolence, and support for nature is extremely empowering and shows them the way that the world can indeed change from the old model to the new model of consciousness.      

 

DR RIANE EISLER
Dr Riane Eisler has lived an extraordinary life and has done some amazing work, again helping to raise consciousness in all sorts of ways. 

She obtained degrees in sociology and law from the University of California, taught pioneering classes on women and the law at UCLA, and now teaches in the Transformative Leadership Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies. She is a founding member of the General Evolution Research Group (GERG), a fellow of the World Academy of Art and Science, and World Business Academy, a Councilor of the World Future Council, and together with the Dalai Lama and other spiritual leaders, she’s a commissioner of the World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality.

Riane, is the only woman among 20 great thinkers including Hegel, Adam Smith, Marx, and Toynbee selected for inclusion in Macrohistory and Macrohistorians in recognition of the lasting importance of her work as a cultural historian and evolutionary theorist.

She's probably best known to the general public for her International bestseller The Chalice and The Blade: Our History, Our Future, now in 23 foreign editions.

Another perspective on the New Consciousness in Business that must not be missed

My talk with "conscious entrepreneur" Christine Kloser was not only extremely enjoyable, but we were able to find out what different business people are doing in our changing world with its new perspective on how business should be conducted. 

Christine tells us how conscious entrepreneurship operates in her life and what triggered the change in the first place.

We also discovered that Christine believes greatly in the concept of the 2012 era and the shift in consciousness which she too is seeing every day.

 

CHRISTINE KLOSER
Christine Kloser is a very successful business woman and Internet marketer who has a focus on integrating spirit with business.  She is the best-selling Author of The Freedom Formula: How to put soul in your business and money in your bank.

Christine is continually pushing the envelope to find NEW ways to integrate SPIRITUAL understandings with strategic BUSINESS tactics. And whether you’re in business or not, a spiritual-based business begins with a spiritual-based business owner.  And so this topic is relevant to everyone in one way or another.

If you have a passion or a dream and yet sometimes wonder if it’s possible for it to come to fruition, then I do hope that you’ll listen to this call.

INTERVIEW – December 1st, 2009
This second call had a very special feel of just floating from one inspirational message, or concept, or insight to the next.  Linda spoke extensively about feminine energy (whether you are male or female), and how the feminine energy is the creative energy that we need to be open to if we want to get into vibrational alignment with the Earth and with ourselves, and with each other.

How Love Heals and why the mind is more powerful than pharmaceutical medicine.

Dr Dean Shrock thrilled everyone who listened to this call as he spoke about why our mind is more powerful that pharmaceutical medicines.  He said that the good news is that we all have the power to heal ourselves.  The bad news is that we must take action and do it.  We can’t rely on the magic pill.

Bruce Cathie

Bruce Cathie

 

Free Energy, Evidence of UFOs, and the Global Grid System, are all discussed

This audio is included in Elevate Your Consciousness

Retired commercial airline Captain Bruce Cathie shared some of his amazing experiences of seeing UFOs flying with him in the sky.  These experiences led to his on-going research into UFOs, free energy systems, harmonics, the global harmonic grid, and so much more. 

Bruce Cathie is internationally recognized as a leader in these fields of research.

Bruce briefly spoke about free energy which could power our homes, businesses, and cars; and why the powers-that-be do not want us to have it.  He also explained that in general, the scientific community know a great deal more about these topics than they are willing, or perhaps allowed, to share with us.  Bruce believes that the scientific community is actually receiving a great deal of knowledge from these extra dimensional entities.  He also explained how he discovered that atom bombs can only be detonated in a window which relates to the relative motion between the Earth and the Sun.  This theory has been tested and also acknowledged by many.

At the end of the call, after Bruce left us, there is about 20 minutes of general discussion from callers who were on the teleseminar listening in.

CAPTAIN BRUCE CATHIE
Bruce Cathie is a former International commercial airline pilot who has gained International recognition for his 50+ years of research into UFOs, and the Global Harmonic Grid-System.

Back in 1952, when Bruce began his career as a commercial airline pilot, he and some friends, began to see UFOs in the Auckland region of New Zealand.  He continued to see UFOs throughout his flying career.  In 1981, he retired as a commercial pilot but has never stopped researching UFOs.  His life-long research in this area led him to discover the harmonic Global Grid System, and to writing a number of books on his research findings.

Cosmic influences affecting us all globally and personally and how they relate to such things as the Mayan predictions, the Bible, number codes …

BONUS: the two interviews with Robert Martin are on the same download page

This was another of those times when one call was just not enough.  So Australian researcher, Robert Martin, agreed to return to continue our discussion.

 

INTERVIEW – February 22nd, 2010
We began by hearing briefly of Robert’s journey of studying under a Tibetan Lama about 40 years ago and then continuing to add more and more scientific/spiritual disciplines to his portfolio of learning. 

Robert explained how everything on the planet is interconnected and is also on a specific Divine plan or Cosmic schedule so that both global and personal events will occur no matter what we do, or don’t do, about them.

He offered some fascinating and very thought provoking examples of the symbolism in certain numbers, levels of vibration and consciousness, spiritual-energy, and the quantum-leap awaiting us as we move from the current level of consciousness to the next level.

 

INTERVIEW – March 8th, 2010
This time Robert focused more on what is actually happening at this time on our planet, especially as it relates to the Mayan Calendar and Dr Carl Calleman’s theory of the levels of consciousness and the symbolic days and nights in each level.

He also spoke about various cosmic influences, and how anything that happens globally on a macro level will also happen to us on a micro personal level. Later Robert touched on the metaphorical pyramid in each of us and how it relates to both our chakra system and the symbolic days and nights that Calleman speaks of.

 

ROBERT MARTIN
Australian researcher, Robert Martin, has been studying the integration of Science and Spirit for over 35 years.  This research has led to his great insights into our current time and the forthcoming 2012 Era changes. 

Robert left home at 21 and went sailing on a 46ft yacht to visit both the pyramids in Egypt and the Greek Acropolis. This ocean experience taught him to navigate by the stars through which he developed a fascination for the world beyond our planet, Earth.

He was an engineer on a 6,000 ton floating drilling-rig which was engaged in the exploration of core samples from the Pacific Ocean. These core samples showed him the physical changes to our planet going back into our distant past.

From there he spent 5 years studying the essence of spirituality with a “Yellow Hat” Tibetan Lama.

A life-long learner, Robert moved on to studying a range of topics from quantum physics, astrology, and the ancient texts, to global harmonic Maths and its application to our world, and beyond our world.

Dr Kashonia Carnegie

 

Do you have a proper understanding of the amazing Crop Formations that occur each year & what they mean to us?

I have always loved the concept of crop circles and formations.  However, in relatively recent years I began to study these phenomena and developed some convictions that the “genuine” formations are indeed formed to send us a message of what is currently happening on our planet today and, more importantly, what lies ahead for us. 

So in this talk I share some of my findings including:  a bit on the history of crop circles and where they are found; the increasing complexity in designs; some amazing stories of crop circle appearance – almost on command; the difference between “genuine” crop circles and hoax circles made by humans; and much more.

One of the stories I shared was of a formation that appeared in 2008, which is said to be an exact model of what our Solar System will be like in December 2012. This formation then changed a few days later indicating a major change to Earth that might occur around that time.

This is a topic that I really love, and love talking about, because, like so many other things associated with this time on our planet, there is a lot more to these formations than most people are open-minded enough to realize.  The call concludes with some amazing stories from some of our listeners.

 

DR KASHONIA CARNEGIE
Kashonia Carnegie, PhD, is a Sustainability Ethicist & Philosopher.  She’s a former ‘professor’ of ethics, leadership, and change at Australia’s University of Adelaide and University of Queensland.

John Kimmey

John Kimmey

 

What do the Hopi really say about this time – find out now

John shares with us the Hopi story for moving into what they call the 5th World, which is now at hand; and what we need to do to prepare for this change.  This is such a very special talk in which John, interpreting the Hopi story, explains this as a time of purification as we resolve our life imbalances that have occurred as a result of following our own will instead of that of the Great Spirit; and how only the purified will go into the 5th dimension.

John explains how, whoever we are when we knock on the metaphoric door into the next dimension that we will be different after we go through that door.  And how we are all being called upon to be agents of change.

This is definitely one of my favorite interviews; one that can be listened to many, many times, and certainly one of the most popular interviews for 2010.  And when you hear it you’ll realize why. 

 

JOHN KIMMEY 
John Kimmey is known as a "seedplanter", visionary, and community developer. For over 30 years, he has been both a student and a teacher of the Hopi message.

In the 1970s, he became a student and traveling companion of the late Hopi Prophet and village leader, David Monongye.   Then at the request of the elders, John came to live with the Hopi to assist them in a communication effort which reached out to the United Nations and many other world leaders.

Whilst with the Hopi, he also developed and taught a curriculum for their Community School.

Then the Hopi Elders urged John to protect native food crops.  And so he returned to his previous home in Santa Fe and founded an organization to collect and conserve native food crops of the Southwest. This non-profit educational and research center established a community seedbank of over 600 varieties of native cultivars. And in 1984, his Center received the United Nations Environmental Program Award for its successful efforts in the conservation of genetic diversity of important germ-plasm and the farming lore of the ancestral cultures of the Southwest.

John's book, Light On The Return Path, has been described by some as the best overall synopsis of the pertinent aspects of the Hopi Prophecy and its associated instructions for this time.  And these days, he is one of the very few people permitted to spread the Hopi message.

Carl Calleman

Dr Carl Calleman

 

We are currently in the ninth Mayan level of Love Consciousness – what does this mean for us and the world?

Dr Carl Johan Calleman is probably best known for his view that October 28th, 2011 is the date when whatever is going to happen will happen, and not December 21st, 2012.

As I’ve discussed a number of times now on my blog, Dr Calleman has developed a credible model or theory of the evolution of the universe, which consists of nine levels of consciousness.  The ninth level, is the level of unity consciousness or love consciousness.

On this call he speaks about these nine levels of consciousness, or underworlds as he sometimes calls them, and gives some examples to support his claims.  He explains that the evolution from one level of consciousness to the next is the result of a cosmic plan where spiritual vibrational frequencies are gradually speeding up. Carl says that we have a choice to become active co-creators in how our world will develop. 

Keeping in mind that this interview was recorded in mid-2010 during the 8th level of consciousness; intuitionally, regarding what is now our current ninth level of consciousness (the ninth level began on March 6th, 2011), which is the level of unity and love consciousness, Carl believed that the spiritual energy would make it very difficult for lower consciousness systems and activities to continue. And we are certainly seeing that playing out in a very overt way, everyday, in the Middle East and North Africa, to name but two examples. 

 

DR CARL CALLEMAN
Dr Carl Calleman is recognized as one of the world's leading researchers of the mystery of the Mayan Calendar. Dr Calleman holds a PhD in Physical Biology and has served as an expert on cancer for the World Health Organization.  He began his studies on the Mayan Calendar in 1979 and has dedicated his life to the Mayan mystery ever since.  Some of his perspectives are very powerful and quite unique.

Needless to say, as one of the World’s leading authorities on the Mayan Calendar, he speaks on the subject throughout the world.

He’s written 3 books on the topic. Solving the Greatest Mystery of our Time – The Mayan Calendar; The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness - this is my favourite book; and his latest book is called The Purposeful Universe: How Quantum Theory and Mayan Cosmology Explain the Origin and Evolution of Life.

Many perspectives on the 2012 era, the Mayan prophecies, increases in plasma on Earth and its effects on us, the I Ching, and so much more

What a jam-packed call this was as far as information about 2012, the Mayan prophecies, and all related topics.  Geoff spoke about the I Ching and how it is believed that it was originally a form of Lunar calendar showing changes from a Universal level down to sub-molecular levels. 

He also spoke about research that has been done indicating that between about 2011 – 2012 the Earth could experience a significant increase in levels of plasma from the sun, and how this could well affect our etheric body.  From there, he spoke about crystals of magnetite, which can occur in our pineal gland, in our brains, and how this would be affected in the case of a geo-magnet reversal of the poles, that so many people speak about.

Other topics included evidence that a magnetic polar reversal could occur within a 12 month period and not the thousands of years many scientists claim; and that we need to release our negative “stuff” buried in our non-consciousness minds if we are to move into the new Golden age.

A link to Geoff’s excellent article, "The Tortuguero Prophecy" is included on the audio download page.

A life-story of determination that you could well relate to; plus the thoughts of Wondering Wolf, the Grand Elder of the living Maya.

Every day I receive messages from people concerned about the changes occurring to them on a personal level at this special time on our planet. And the first part of my talk with Joseph Giove is one you just might relate to. I certainly know that I could personally relate so closely to so much of what he had to share.  If you’ve read my blog posts of my "Latest Spiritual Journey" you’ll know exactly why I say that.

During the main part of the talk we moved on to Joseph’s regular trips to visit Grandfather Cirilo aka Wondering Wolf, the Grand Elder of the living Maya.  During these trips, Joseph and his guests participate in the fire ceremonies, cave walks, and all the other regular spiritual ceremony and ritual that they have.

Grandfather Cirilo explained that theirs was an oral tradition and so they couldn’t write about the ceremony in books.  It was something that had to be experienced. And yet most people around the world would not be able to get there to participate. So Grandfather Cirilo and Joseph discussed how this experience could be made into a movie and the movie Shift of the Ages was born. 

The movie is a transformational, Shamanic experience, inspiring people to take action and connect with spiritual energies.  It’s all about appealing to the heart in the present moment, not the intellect.

 

JOSEPH GIOVE
Joseph Giove is the founder and executive director of CommonPassion.org, and the Executive Producer of the film Shift of the Ages.  The Shift of the Ages film shares the Mayan Cosmo-Vision and Prophecy through the wisdom and teachings of Grandfather Cirilo, also known as Wandering Wolf, Grand Elder of the living Maya.

The National Mayan Council of Indigenous Elders in Guatemala has an important message for the world. Their leader, Grandfather Cirilo, the protagonist of the Shift of the Ages film, discloses previously unavailable visions, concepts, and ancient prophecies.

As well as being Executive Producer of the film, Joseph also sits on advisory boards for the Global Coherence Initiative at the HeartMath Institute; the Gaiafield Project; the Center for Subtle Activism at CIIS in San Francisco; and Project Peace on Earth.

He is internationally known in the field of collective
consciousness and has orchestrated hundreds of global meditation and prayer events over the last ten years.

Many of these programs were based on key dates in the Mayan Calendar, and were developed jointly with Grandfather Cirilo and Dr. Carl Johan Calleman, who we spoke to last month.

What is astrology saying about this time on our planet?

Whilst Astrologer Richard Giles focuses on astrological events for 2010, he also explains how many of these changes will extend well beyond 2010.

For example, the Grand Cardinal Cross which was at its peak in August 2010 will still affect us well into 2011.

Richard spoke about this time in the heavens as being a very unusual time, with many unusual configurations.  He spoke about the possibility of the fracturing of social structures that we have become accustomed to, happening over the next 18 months.  Richard gave the example of the talk of succession of a number of US states. 

What he was unaware of at the time of the call was the incredible fracturing of the social structures in the Arab countries, and North Africa.

Again, as so many speakers have said, whatever happens on a global level will also happen to us on a personal level too.

 

RICHARD GILES
Richard Giles has been an astrologer for over twenty years and he also works with Fung Shui and Geomancy.
He contributes to a vast range of publications, numerous Websites Magazines, and has been featured on many radio programs and teleseminars.

He was active in the environment movement for almost two decades and his commitment to environmental work has led him into an area of environmental reconstruction that mixes the ancient Chinese tradition of Feng Shui with the modern principles of climate design. He says it’s all about balancing up land, home, and business using the best of traditional principles from this wonderful 5,000 year old system.

What is really going on in the Gulf of Mexico with the BP oil spill?

On this fascinating call with investigative reporter Michael Knight we spoke about the Gulf Oil crisis.  Michael shared a lot of his research findings and also responded to many of the rumors, and BP - PR spin that was going around. 

Michael said on a number of occasions that he ‘felt’ that there will be long term benefits to come out of all of this current pain and heartache.

A link to Michael's free 15 page analysis/report on the crisis in the Gulf is included on the audio download page.  

 

MICHAEL KNIGHT
Michael Knight is an investigative journalist and film maker who has been researching many of the details about the Gulf of Mexico Oil "Spill" that are NOT being widely promoted by the mainstream media.

Michael was born in New Zealand, but has lived in the United States for the last 20 odd years.  He’s worked around the world in all forms of media, but primarily as an investigative reporter, independent photo-journalist, and contract documentary director, having directed the DVD Contact Has Begun.

An amazing way to let the world know about the special, spiritual work that you are doing

On this call I spoke with James Welsh, primarily about the Common Passion Organization.  However, I had to ask James if there was a conflict between his 'previous' life as a US Marine and the consciousness raising work that he is doing today with the Common Passion Organization and his own organization the Whole Being Health project.

CommonPassion.org is a global social collaborative connecting people from all walks of life who share compassion as a common passion. It is a nonprofit, nonsectarian, educational, and scientific consortium dedicated to validating and applying the power of collective human intention through prayer, meditation and music to ease violence and suffering in local and global communities, and to help solve the persistent problems of humankind.

When asked how it was possible for web technology and personal radiance to collaborate, James replied, "In my work and meditations I have witnessed a rising base potential of human consciousness. I am also seeing amazing new developments in the way humans share consciousness through the web. Web technology helps bridge the gaps in human awareness and strengthens our conscious coherence."

Needless to say, a key aspect of Common Passion is to link or networking as many spiritually focused organizations through the Common Passion hub. What an amazing way to let the world know about the work that you are doing, and attract people to help you achieve your aims.

 

JAMES WELSH
James is the Chief Technology Officer of the web-based organization – Common Passion. And there are many interesting twists and turns in the James Welsh story.

James began his career in the US Marine Corps, where he obtained expert knowledge of Electro-Optics; he learned how to be an excellent group leader and trainer; and he discovered that he had an aptitude for achieving physical well-being.

He worked for the US Space Program and then on to Lockheed Martin where he furthered his skills in project management, training, and technology. 

It was at this time that he began to study of eastern philosophy, meditation, and yoga, which was the beginning of a future in consciousness and coherence technology development.

As well as the work he does with Common Passion, he is also the founder of Whole Being Health,  a project which implements Self-Assessment technology where individuals can track their progress within the dimensions of wellness (physical, emotional, spiritual, social, creative, experiential and environmental) and then empower themselves to lead fuller, healthier lives.

He also has a technology company, called Conscious Web Solutions, which creates, maintains, and advises projects that focus on raising human consciousness through online communications and technology.

How are genuine crop circles REALLY formed?  Lucy shares the secrets

Yes, another call on crop circles – I told you I have a passion for crop circle research.  This time, however, I was honored to speak with one of, if not THE, top International Crop Circle/Formation researchers, Lucy Pringle.

I honestly believe that the genuine circles are formed by inter-dimensional entities who are attempting to send us life and planet saving messages. 

Now I know that sounds like really WOO WOO stuff.  But at this time on our planet we are being asked to, at least, have an open-mind to all sorts of things.  And when you hear some of the stories that Lucy shares you'll realize that there can be no other explanation.  

Lucy took a position to crop circles that I didn't quite expect, but which I found very interesting and certainly added credibility to all she said.

She spoke about her great passion – researching the crop formations from the perspective of their power to heal all sorts of medical conditions.  She also shares the discoveries she’s made during research with a scientist colleague that seems to be the most plausible explanation for how the genuine formations are made.  This is REALLY interesting stuff.  

 

LUCY PRINGLE
Lucy Pringle is arguably the world’s leading crop circle/ formation researcher.  She is also a highly renowned aerial photographer and has the UK's most comprehensive photographic crop circle library.

Lucy works with scientists from all over the world; she is an author; and regularly appears on leading television and radio broadcasts, in many countries throughout the world speaking extensively on the crop circle phenomenon.   The BBC recently produced a program of "Inside Out", which featured her research.

Lucy is a Founder member of the Centre for Crop Circle Studies; is a Founder Member and Chairman of UNEX (Unexplained Phenomena Research Society); and is widely known and an international authority and the pioneer researcher into the effects of electromagnetic fields on living systems. This includes the physiological and psychological effects reported by people after visiting or being in the vicinity of a crop formation.  She also investigates animal behavior, remote effects, luminosities, mechanical failures, and audio effects resulting from crop formations. Her research shows measured changes in human hormones following short exposure to the circles, as well as changes in brain activity.

Her books include Crop Circles, the Greatest Mystery of Modern Times (1999); Crop Circles (2002); and Crop Circles, Art in the Landscape (2007).

A Very Well Known Crop Formation at Barbury Castle. What is it telling us?  Find out now.

On this call Australian researcher Trevor Ward explains the message that he deciphered in the high profile Barbury Castle (2008) crop circle in the UK.

The message was a conformation of the great change that is with us, peaking out in 2013.

He explained how the crop formation could be interpreted as supporting this time of transformation "where we will face a physical and spiritual awakening or crisis [depending on our perspective] that is unavoidable".

One of the many messages found in the very precise location of the crop formation reminds us that it is up to us to choose the life path to follow at this time, and that we have the choice to be led, or misled, by others.

Our talk today was based on a very impressive article that Trevor wrote for the excellent magazine New Dawn. The article, complete with all the pictures and diagrams of the crop formation, is also on the download page together with the audio of the interview.

Trevor’s research is extremely impressive and substantiated every step of the way.

 

TREVOR WARD
Trevor Ward, is one of those Crop Circle researchers that Lucy Pringle spoke about in our previous call.

Trevor is an Australian researcher and writer and for more than 20 years has been studying metaphysics, and 'interpretative' sacred geometry, especially as it relates to crop circles, harmonics, and ancient structures.

He says that his “strong interest in metaphysics and harmonics came about because of his dissatisfaction with what is being 'dished up' as so-called history that regards the Ancient ones as primitives".

He is a man who, through the use of mathematics, geometry, analysis of ancient cultures and may other disciplines, has put interpretations on the messages that some of the genuine crop formations are attempting to get through to us.

Trevor is a contributor to magazines including New Dawn magazine with articles on: "Sacred Geometry & the Great Pyramid" and the "Secret Message of Barbury Castle 2008-Pi".

Mayan Region – special tours with a special person

Stefanie Baeker is one of those gentle and beautiful people who really walks her talk.

Stefanie shares with us the wonderful work that she is doing by taking customized guided eco-tours to visit the Mayan regions. 

Whilst anyone is welcome to join her small group eco-tours, she also designs special trips for students, seniors, and those with special needs.

This is an opportunity to listen to someone who has not only studied the Mayan culture and people, but someone who knows the people and the region first hand.

Some of the things that I find so special about Stefanie includes her passion for nature, for fairness and justice, and for helping people with special needs who might otherwise miss out on things that those of us without "special needs" take for granted.

Stefanie is also a skilled astrologer and on the call she spoke briefly about the benefits in having astrological readings done for the young children in our lives. 

 

STEFANIE BAEKER
Stefanie Baeker was born near the North Sea coast in Germany, where green tourism prevails and so she developed a strong tie with Mother Nature.  However, it was not until her early twenties that her deep thirst for knowledge urged her to seriously explore Universal laws, principles, and energies. 

Since then she’s been a life-long learner gaining her life and spiritual lessons while living between Germany, France, California, and Mexico, where she lived for 6 years. 

Stefanie also has a deep interest in Astrology; and as well as doing live astrological readings for people all over the world, she integrates astrological insights into the design of her eco-tours to the Mayan regions.

She is one of the few people who actually loves to design personal tours especially suited for seniors, and those with 'special needs' – which is a beautiful gift that she is sharing with those who are all too often forgotten.

Here is the missing piece to the Law of Attraction and what Vedic Astrology says about this time

This call is primarily about Vedic Astrology and so Bill explains the differences between Vedic Astrology and Western Astrology and then goes into some depth of the Vedic system and what it is telling us.

Interestingly, he says that based on the Vedic system there are no major cataclysmic global events due for about 427,000 years.  Nevertheless, at the time of the Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice, 2012, the Sun will move into a special Vedic Moon sign.  He then goes on to explain what that represents.

One of the most important, and for me one of the most exciting, things Bill shares with us is his interpretation of how the Law of Attraction really works.  He offers a missing piece that is virtually never spoken of; however, it is something that has helped many, many people.

 

BILL LEVACY
William R Levacy – Bill Levacy is one of the world’s leading Vedic Astrologers.

Bill holds a B.A. in English, a Master’s in Education, a Master’s in the Science of Creative Intelligence, and is a PhD candidate in Education at Capella University with a specialization in Human Performance Improvement. 

When it comes to Vedic astrology, over the past 27 odd years, Bill has been conducting readings; holding lectures and workshops throughout the US, Europe, and India; doing research and writing;  and has completed well in excess of 11,000 charts for clients all over the world.  And so it’s not surprising that Bill believes that one of the greatest credentials an astrologer can have is the results they receive.  And you don’t do over 11,000 charts unless a lot of people are very happy with their results.

He’s written numerous articles for The Astrological Magazine and the new Modern Astrology Magazine in India and has also authored the books Beneath a Vedic Sky –A Beginner’s Guide to the Astrology of Ancient India; Beneath a Vedic Sun; and Vedic Astrology Simply Put.  All of which have rave reviews on Amazon. 

He’s done numerous radio shows, TV appearances, and workshops on Vedic astrology around the US, Europe, and Asia and is the President of the American College of Vedic Astrology (ACVA)

Dr Paul LaViolette

 

 

The Coded Message in the Tarot. Also, is a Galactic Super-wave on its way to wreak havoc on Earth?  

This is an amazing call that can be listened to many times and you’ll learn something new each time.

Paul began by explaining how it was the Tarot that led him to decipher the riddle of the Egyptian Sphinx.  He explained that the Tarot was originally a code left to us thousands of years ago to help us understand many ancient messages at a future time.

He offered three possible ways the sophistication and complexity of the ancient monuments and mathematical calculations could have come to pass.  They have to be more than just a fluke as so many people claim.  And keep in mind that it is only in very recent times that our modern scientists and mathematicians have had the knowledge and intelligence to make these same calculations as were being made thousands of years ago.

Paul also shares his alternative theory to the recognized Big Bang theory and explains why the Big Bang was just not possible. 

Finally he speaks of the dangers of a Galactic Superwave which, could emanate/has already emanated, from the Galactic Core. 

Interestingly, at the 13 minute mark there was a loud screech on the line - which I edited out - and for the first time in over 50 interviews I was disconnected and the lines dropped out. 

It seems as though this happens frequently when Paul does interviews as the "powers-that-be" attempt to stop him from getting his message out.

 

DR PAUL LAVIOLETTE
Dr Paul LaViolette is Internationally recognized for the many hats that he wears including Physicist , Systems Scientist, Astronomer, Cosmologist, Egyptologist, and Cryptologist.

Dr LaViolette doesn't focus on 2012 as much as the geophysical and cosmological events that are [coincidently] happening on our planet at this time. 

It was by taking a systems approach to his research that Dr LaViolette, a physicist, came to link such seemingly diverse topics as Tarot Cards, the Zodiac, and the Sphinx to what is happening in our Galactic center.

Dr LaViolette was the first person to make many cosmological predictions which have subsequently been confirmed by hard scientific data.  One such prediction was that high intensity volleys of cosmic ray particles travel directly to our planet from distant sources in our Galaxy.

He is also the co-developer of a theory which explains how the brain/mind forms creative thoughts.  He developed the theory of Subquantum Kinetics, discovered the concept of Galactic Superwaves, and is the founder of the Starburst Foundation which is dedicated to continuing the research into all of these areas.

Finally Linda shared with us a new project she is now devoting a lot of her time to – the Dying Consciously project.  Dying Consciously, is an online energy medicine hospice; bringing dignity back to all involved in the dying process.  The technique she explained to us is easy to learn and would make such a difference to someone in our lives who might be in the process of passing on.

Dr John Jay Harper’s Final Public Conversation

Tragically, 36 hours after this interview, John passed away.

John covered so many areas on this call that are so very important to us all at this time on our planet. 

He explained some of the predicted geo-physical changes to the Earth; told stories about meta-physical and spiritual changes that have happened to him and others.

And he also shared with us the importance of discovering and then letting go of any negative traumas &/or childhood imprints so that we can indeed move to the next level of consciousness with ease.

Finally, he spoke about the importance of a healthy body before the electro-magnetic changes in consciousness take effect.

Unbelievably, 36 hours later he was dead.  Hearing about his death very shortly after it happened was one of the biggest and saddest shocks I’ve had in a long time.

 

DR JOHN JAY HARPER
Dr John Jay Harper was a futurist, body-mind-spirit research scientist, public-speaker, and writer.

He was a graduate of the American Institute of Hypnotherapy; California College for Health Sciences; and Central Washington University; a veteran of the U.S. Army; a retired computer specialist; electronics engineer; and senior mental health counselor with the Department of Defense.

Prior to his sudden and very sad death, John was an international talk show guest and seminar leader speaking to the purpose of the galaxy-sun-earth pole shift alignment process in era-2012 and its impact on the evolution of human consciousness.

He is the author of the book Transformers: Shamans of the 21st century, and one of the most passionate speakers I’ve heard in a long time.

John believed that our task at this time is to become "shape-shifting shamans ...; to master trance techniques of telepathy and travel at will into the outer reaches of inner space - The Fifth Dimension".

Healthy Life Radio - "Stories and Sustainability"

with Dr Kashonia Carnegie

INTERVIEWS Below - DATES from February 4th, 2009 - October 21st, 2009

The following interviews were done when I had my radio program called "Stories and Sustainability" on HealthyLife.net - Internet Radio - the Positive Talk Radio Station in early 2009. They all run about 45 minutes +/- and had commercial breaks. However, I've edited out the advertisements. Also, I don't think that the sound quality from my end is as good on these interviews as it is on my own Raising Love Consciousness teleseminars. Nevertheless, the quality of the stories and messages is excellent.

A 'fireside' chat where stories about nature and sustainability are shared

This was the first interview that I did for my program “Stories and Sustainability” on Healthy Life radio.  Mike Austin had also just started his "Blue Planet Almanac" program on Healthy Life.  So we decided to have a “fireside” chat on air where we each shared stories and insights relating to environmental and sustainability issues so that our audiences could get to know a little bit about us both.

 

MIKE AUSTIN
At University of California, Santa Barbara and Riverside, Mike Austin studied environmental science, biology, and comparative religion. At UCSB he was the first environmental news feature writer for The Daily Nexus. He also tutored college chemistry, math, and did research on the Bionomics of Kestrels.

Growing up as an experienced, amateur naturalist, Mike hiked and biked in California’s coastal foothills and fished in its beautiful streams and rivers from an early age. Before it was fashionable, Mike often commuted on bicycle. Automobilers from the mid-1970s remember the custom fabricated bumper-sticker mounted on his bike saying, “Conserve Energy. Your Children Will Thank You!”

Mike hosted and produced the nonprofit "Blue Planet Almanac" radio program on Healthy Life Radio and an associated newsblog from December 2009 to March 2011, and was environmental journalist on HealthyLife.net’s weekly News@7 Environmental Super Segment from January 2010 to March 2011.

Saving Energy Not Only Helps the Environment but it also helps YOUR bank account - a program to support your friends, community, and our Planet

This audio is included in Elevate Your Consciousness

Dr David Gershon spoke about what he considers is THE most urgent matter affecting the world today –the overuse of CO2.

I first came to know David’s work about 20 years ago when I purchased a copy of one of his best-selling books called Empowerment

David explained how he has combined his work as a psychologist with his passion for the environment to help people change behaviors which have a negative effect on the environment.   To that end, he has developed a series of little books, the main one being called Low Carbon Diet: A 30 Day program to Lose 5000 pounds.  I just love that title.

David explains how there will always be 15% of people who will probably never change.  But all it takes is 15% to take action for a critical mass to evolve.
He then went on to explain his latest, Low Carbon Diet, project which is being adopted in countries around the world, but especially in the USA.  Called Eco-Team, it involves forming small groups of friends, or neighbors, or colleagues, as peer support, to encourage each other in a fun way to see just how they can each lighten their household carbon foot print using David’s Low Carbon Diet program.

He also explained that acting in a sustainable way is not necessarily the same as having a low carbon footprint. 

 

DR. DAVID GERSHON
Dr David Gershon, founder and CEO of the Empowerment Institute, is one of the world’s foremost authorities on behavior-change and large-system transformation, and applies this expertise to issues requiring community, organizational, and societal change.

He has lectured at Harvard, MIT, and Duke universities and served as an advisor to the Clinton White House and the United Nations on behavior change, community empowerment and sustainability issues, and has authored eleven books – many of which have won impressive awards and recognition.  His clients include cities, government agencies, large organizations, and social entrepreneurs.

David has addressed a wide diversity of issues, ranging from low carbon lifestyles, livable neighborhoods, and sustainable communities to organizational talent development and cultural transformation. Over the past thirty years the empowerment programs he has designed have won many awards, and a major academic research study described them as “unsurpassed in changing behavior.”

David used this empowerment proficiency, in partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund and ABC Television, to organize, at the height of the cold war, one of the planet’s first major global consciousness-raising initiatives—the First Earth Run. Building on his background as the Director of the Lake Placid Olympic Torch Relay, he used the mythic power of relaying a torch of peace around the world. This relay for peace project engaged the participation of twenty-five million people in sixty-two countries, the world’s political leadership, and, through the media, an estimated 20 percent of the planet’s population in an act of global unity. Millions of dollars were also raised as part of this event to help UNICEF provide care for the neediest children of the world.

Nyree Bird

 

One Woman’s Inspiring Mission to help the children in Brazil and also the benefits of Shell Essences

In this call Nyree Bird shared how she is striving to making a difference to the lives of poor children in Brazil.  One of the ways she does this is by setting up various entrepreneurial activities and then handing them over to others to run. 

On this call, apart from sharing some amazing stories about the children and her philanthropic activities in Brazil, she also speaks about her venture - the energetic power of Shell and Coral Essences. 

Nyree explained that some, not all, shells and corals have a very powerful vibrational consciousness imprinted into their calcium.  After many decades of research, this vibrational memory is now able to be imprinted into a water base and used for all sorts of healing in much the same way as Bach Flower Remedies.

 

NYREE BIRD
Australian, Nyree Bird, is a philanthropist and most definitely an entrepreneur – there’s no other real way to describe what she does.  However, she’s one of the most unlikely entrepreneurs you'll meet.  And that's probably because, for Nyree, being an entrepreneur is purely a means to an end. Because Nyree spends a great deal of time involved in developing joint venture businesses so that she can make the money she needs for her philanthropic work – helping under privileged children in Brazil, where she spends 6 months a year.

There’s more to sustainability than just recycling and special light globes. Sustainability: the next level

Apart from finding out that there is a lot more to an environmentally sustainable home that just recycling garbage and energy efficient light bulbs, my guest John Cameron, also shared with us the next level of sustainability - a community-based form of sustainability, and the great need for a more creative attitude to living in a Post-Oil world.

Interestingly, one of John’s examples of post-oil living came from the work being done in Cuba.

Following are some links that John thought might be of interest to listeners. 
The Cuban reference http://www.english.ecosur.org/ is a great portal to some of the technologies mentioned.
 
You might also be interested in information provided or linked to http://agdf.org.au/index.asp - the Australian Green Development Forum, which is where John met Dr Martirena of Cuba.
 
And http://www.powerofcommunity.org/cm/index.php  The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil is a project of the Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions, a non-profit organization that designs and teaches low-energy solutions to the current unsustainable, fossil-fuel-based, industrialized, and centralized way of living.

JOHN CAMERON
John Cameron is a practicing, award-winning architect, based in Brisbane, Australia, who has dedicated his professional life to the development of truly sustainable housing also known as "wholistic human environments". 

For John, the design of a building must include both knowledge and innovation; pragmatism as well as poetics.  A building must deliver both physical and emotional comfort, without placing unsustainable demands on our natural environment.

John considers that his career and his life are a journey, where the travelling is far more important than the destination, which for him is very flexible.

Dr David Loye

 

A Beautiful Man speaking on a Beautiful topic – Darwin’s Lost Theory of Love

What a wonderful and beautiful man.  I could have talked with him for hours.

Yes, I’m talking about my guest Dr. David Loye who researched and wrote about Darwin’s Lost Theory – The Theory of Love.

David was the 1st of 5 special guests that I specifically chose and invited to join me on Healthy Life Radio leading up to the launch of The Learning Loving and Laughing Project – now Raising Love Consciousness.

I’m sure that everyone has heard of Charles Darwin’s famous Origin of the Species and “the survival of the fittest” theory.  But did you realize that that is only HALF of Darwin’s theory on human evolution.  Even Darwin himself got upset at the focus the world gave to the first half of his theory – survival of the fittest - whilst virtually completely ignoring what he considered the most important part of his theory, the 2nd part on the importance of love in our life.

Darwin argued that we could not evolve as a species without love.  How very true that is.

Dr David Loye details his research into Darwin’s theory on love, and Darwin’s life in his book Darwin’s Lost Theory (2007)  published by The Benjamin Franklin Press.

David has set up “The Darwin Project” to promote the most important part of Darwin’s theory and research  – on love.
“The mission of The Darwin Project is to speed the shift in our homes, schools, and the media from only teaching the destructive “first-half” of Darwinism, to also including the inspiring liberation of Darwin’s long lost completing half of his theory - the theory on love. This thoery of love reveals caring, love, moral evolution, and education as the prime drivers for human evolution.” ( http://www.thedarwinproject.com )

 

DR. DAVID LOYE
Dr David Loye is a World War II veteran, married to a Holocaust survivor, the internationally known author and cultural evolution theorist Dr Riane EislerAfter WWII he became a television newsman, then left news to gain a doctorate in psychology.  In 1971, he wrote the national award-winning book The Healing of a Nation, which set the main themes for his life’s work thereafter – the application of science to human and planetary advancement, moral evolution, and social, political, and spiritual action.

In the 1990s came a pivotal event for his life.  In what became a classic case of going "up against the paradigm," he uncovered Darwin’s long ignored passionate case for moral evolution, rather than survival of the fittest, as the prime driver for human evolution.

He has written many books relating to the life, work, and theories of Charles Darwin including Darwin’s Lost Theory of Love.

Dr Joel Goodman

 

Did you know that Laughing is one of the world’s  most powerful drugs – and it’s FREE

This audio is included in Elevate Your Consciousness

Whilst speaking with Dr Joel Goodman, not only did we have some good laughs but we also looked at the serious side of laughing.

Joel shared all sorts of stories about The Humor Project and where it had taken him, including his working trip to Antarctica.

He shared some important aspects, such as that it can be the message, the medium, or both that causes us to laugh; that we need to take our job seriously and our life lightly; and that whilst humor must be used with discretion and sensitivity, we just don’t use it when we need it the most.

Joel explained that humor can help us disagree without being disagreeable, and can bring us together in a world of diversity.  And that is so very important at this time of moving to a unity consciousness.

 

DR. JOEL GOODMAN
Dr. Joel Goodman, founder and Director of The HUMOR Project, is a popular speaker whose programs have tickled and touched the lives of millions throughout the U.S. and on all 7 continents.

He has authored eight “jest”-selling books and was a pioneer focusing on the positive power of humor and creativity. His work has been featured in over 5000 TV and radio shows, newspapers, and magazines in 150+ countries, including: The TODAY Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, PBS, BBC, Latenight America, All Things Considered, the front page of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today, Readers' Digest, Successful Meetings, Journal of the American Medical Association, and many AP national features. Joel's unique calling was also featured on an ABC NEWS prime-time special on The Mystery of Happiness that aired nationally three times.

Described as "the first full-time humor educator in the world," Joel founded The HUMOR Project in 1977 (two years before Norman Cousins' best-selling book was published).  He also founded AHA!, the American Humor Association, which includes over 165,000 humor conspirators. He believes that it is important for business to "do well and do good" at the same time: The HUMOR Project has provided grants to 450+ schools, hospitals, and human service agencies to help them develop services and resources that tap the positive power of humor.

Leo Buscaglia

Kashonia & Steven Short remembering

Dr Leo Buscaglia

 

Stories about the man who introduced the topic of LOVE as an academic subject and won the heart of every student

This audio is included in Elevate Your Consciousness

This program was dedicated to the late Dr Leo Buscaglia.

In the first part of the program, I spoke about the importance of love and my passion for the then forthcoming, Learning Loving and Laughing Project.

I shared my story of a time, about 20 years ago, when I was presenting my program on Melbourne’s talk-radio 3AW, and thanks to a listener I was introduced to the work of Dr Leo Buscaglia. Not only did I love the book she gave me, but it, along with Dr Buscaglia’s other books, have influenced my life ever since.  And after reading and re-reading Dr Buscaglia’s books many times, I knew that one day – somehow – I too wanted to teach the world about love, which is what I am now doing through Raising Love Consciousness.

In the second part of the program I spoke to Steven Short.

Seeing as Dr Buscaglia could not be with us in person, there was no one better to share “Leo stories” than Steven Short, who worked and travelled with Dr Buscaglia for nearly 20 years and who was the editor of Dr Buscaglia’s book that began this journey of mine. 

Steven told us of the event that inspired Dr Buscaglia to devote the last 28 odd years of his life to teaching the world about “LOVE”.  He also shared some of the very thought provoking questions that Dr Buscaglia would explore with his students.

 

STEVEN SHORT
Steven Short worked with and travelled with Dr Leo Buscaglia for nearly 20 years. Dr Buscaglia acknowledges Steven's contributions in most of his works. Dr Buscglia dedicates his book Born for Love to Steven. Born to Love was based on Dr Buscaglia’s nationally syndicated newspaper columns.

Also Living Loving and Learning, Dr Buscaglia's first national best seller, published in 1982, was compiled and edited by Steven.

Today, Steven is a producer and reporter for KALW Radio in San Francisco, where he's responsible for a recurring feature on the origin of the area's place names, and also contributes stories on the arts, and life in the Bay Area.

Wendy introduced us to the EATING principles, which are a feature of Kitchen Table SustainabilityEducation Action– Trust– Inclusion–Nourishment–Governance. The EATING principles will guide us to a community approach to sustainability.

I first met Wendy when I was a Doctoral student at The University of Queensland.  She came to my university and gave a talk about some of her life experiences that led her to write her own Doctoral thesis.  There were so many similarities between Wendy’s life and her passion for nature and for storytelling, and my own life and passions that I made sure that I got to know her.  And we’ve been friends ever since.

 

DR WENDY SARKISSIAN
Dr Wendy Sarkissian is a planner, speaker, and consultant who is passionate about our future, the future of housing, of communities, and of community engagement.  She holds degrees in Bachelor of Science in Education, a Masters of Arts in literature, a Master of Town Planning, and a PhD in environmental ethics and planning education.

Dr Ed Poole is known as The Lesson Guy, a man who writes books of short stories on real life-lessons.  On this call we talk about his book Lessons from Empowering Leaders. 

Ed put the book together after interviewing a range of “empowering leaders”, of whom I was honored to be one.  The stories are of ways we handled different situations in an empowering or inspiring way.

Environment Shop

Jason Bond

 

Find out about some great gadgets you can get for your home to help the environment

This call was a little different to most of my interviews.  It came about after I received my latest Habitat Magazine.  Habitat is the official magazine of one of Australia’s leading environmental groups – the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF). 

The magazine had an insert from the Environment Shop in Melbourne.  It was a catalogue of the most wonderful range of environmental products for sustainable living.

As soon as I saw it, I thought, ‘that’s what I’ll do on the show next week.  I’ll talk to someone from the environment shop about a number of these different products.”  And so that’s what I did.

I spoke to “Bond, Jason Bond”, who knew so much about all of the products.  Off air he said, “this is just like talking to a customer and having to explain what the different products are all about”.

It was great fun, and we all learned a lot. 

Just some of the things we spoke about included:
The Clear Comfort transparent window insulation kit; the Bokashi Bucket for getting rid of kitchen scraps; Bio Picnic and Party Plates; Bamboo Nappies – which are ultra-soft; the Advanced Energy Meter to check how much energy your different appliances are using; and recycled wedding rings.  These rings aren’t as a result of a divorce.  But they are made from melted down, post-consumer, 18ct white gold. Now that is something that I’d never have thought of, but is such a great idea. 

A few weeks later, on June 10th, I interviewed Ben Manning from Utopia the people who make the ‘recycled” jewelry.  That interview is below.

All products from the Environment Shop are available on the Internet - http://envirogroup.com.au/shop/

 

JASON BOND – THE ENVIRONMENT SHOP
Set up in about 2005, The Environment Shop in Melbourne grew out of the Wilderness Society’s shop which had to close down. The Environment Shop has an amazing range of sustainably friendly products. Jason Bond, who works for The Environment Shop was kind enough to give his time to talk about some of these products.

This is how you can ENJOY a Personally Sustainable Lifestyle

On this call Tambra Harck, founder of Soulful Living by Design, began by sharing with us her incredibly diverse education in life, spiritual, and consciousness-raising studies.  As a result of these studies she asked herself a really powerful question.  “How can I use all of this to help others?”

Initially, the answer was to help people discover how their soul can be linked with the environment in which they live or work.  And so at the time of the interview, she was helping people uncover, not what they want to HAVE in a room, or house, or work environment, but what FEELINGS and EXPERIENCE they want to enjoy.  She was then able to recommend the best way that they can enjoy those feelings and experiences.

And that really is what Personal SUSTAINABLE living and a personally sustainable lifestyle is all about.    

During the call, Tambra took me through a very brief exercise to demonstrate the sort of work that she does.  And I was amazed at her results.

In more recent times, she has followed an even deeper calling and is now mentoring women on a spiritual journey.

 

TAMBRA HARCK
Tambra Harck, is a spiritual mentor, speaker, and author of Sacred Truths: An Unveiled Path to an Abundance of Joy, Meaning and Love  Having spent a lifetime studying a range of life, spiritual, and consciousness-raising modalities, she set up a business, Soul Living by Design, which is what we spoke about on the interview. 

More recently Tambra turned her diverse skills and experience to mentor women entrepreneurs through soul-level transformation so that they experience more joy, wealth and love in their lives.  She specializes in helping women create a balance between their ambition, vision, drive, and their creative, collaborative, spiritual approaches to life.

Find out what it means to have a spiritual USP in your business so that you can run your business from a spiritual and soul perspective

Yollana Shore is truly one of those genuine, beautiful, sensitive, and caring souls.  In this call she speaks about her organization called Soul Business.

Yollana first explains the connection between “soul” and “business”.  We go on to speak about a move from a competitive-based business model to a co-operative business model and she explains that it is really bigger than that.  She says, that we need to align ourselves with our competitors.  Then she gives the secret for using this co-operative soul-business model and yet still differentiating your business from someone else doing the same thing.  And it’s a form of spiritual USP (unique selling proposition).

 

YOLLANA SHORE
Brisbane, Australia based Yollana Shore is the founder of the organization, Soul Business. She holds a university degree in Environmental Science.

However, through Soul Business she is able to combine many years’ experience and training in both business and personal development.  Yollana says, “I help business owners who want to make the world a better place, to grow a successful, soul-centred business doing what they love.”

Yollana describes Soul Business in this way: “Soul Business was born from my private practice in an incredibly powerful form of ’soul work’ called The Journey, which was developed by an inspirational teacher and friend, Brandon Bays.  In 2006, I began to apply some of the principles of this ’soul work’ to business contexts under the banner of “discover the difference”.  The soul business connection really began to solidify in 2007, when I met fourth-generation entrepreneur and Sufi healer, Mark Silver, founder of Heart of Business.  Soul Business now brings that work to Australia and is combined with my own insights from over eight years of private practice and business development.”

Dr Bob Doppelt

 

What’s the REAL Climate Change story and how can we deal with it??

BONUS: two interviews with Bob Doppelt on the same download page.

I first “discovered” Bob Doppelt in about 2003, not long after his first book, Leading Change Toward Sustainability, was published.  That book became a major sustainability resource for me when I was an academic teaching MBA students about sustainability.  So I knew that his next book, The Power of Sustainable Thinking was going to be a must-read.  And I was right.

This interview started out as a normal one-off talk with social scientist Bob Doppelt.  However, by about the 3rd segment of the show it became evident to me that we’d never cover everything that I wanted to cover with this very special guest.  So in a commercial break, I asked if he could return for round 2.  He agreed.  

INTERVIEW – June 3rd, 2009
In this first interview we focused on the current global environmental situation, and Bob left us with the knowledge that the planet is certainly experiencing climatic changes.  He explains what those changes are, and what they are all about.

 

INTERVIEW – June 3rd, 2009
Whilst the previous interview tended on the gloomy side of what is happening, this call is all about the positive side to the story.  Bob spoke about how we can help people change some of their less environmentally-friendly habits, and also why we should encourage such change.

 

BOB DOPPELT
Bob Doppelt wears many hats.  He’s a writer and speaker on Climate Change issues, involved in numerous committees, and the Director of Resource Innovations and the Climate-Change Leadership Initiative in the Institute for a Sustainable Environment, and courtesy associate professor in the Department of Planning, Public Policy, and Management at the University of Oregon. 

His background and expertise is in systems dynamics and change for sustainability.

He is the author of one of my favorite book, Leading Change toward Sustainability: A Change Management Guide for Business, Government, and Civil Society.  His latest book is, The Power of Sustainable Thinking: How to Create a Positive Future for the Climate, the Planet, Your Organization, and Your Life.

The Fascinating Story about Recycling Scrap Metal to make Beautiful pieces of New Fine Jewelry

Ben Manning has always had a great concern for our environment.  However, he started out as a traditional jeweler.  Then some years ago, whilst living in England, he felt that there must be a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way to produce jewelry.

Ben tells us how he combined his love of, and concern for, nature; with his talents as the maker of fine jewelry.  He told us all about how he’s developed a technique for making 'recycled', sustainable, environmentally-friendly jewelry.  Yes recycled jewelry, not remodeling second hand jewelry.  He is  actually turning waste metals into brand new jewelry.

In this call, you’ll hear Ben sharing how his techniques differ from traditional jewelry making; and the negative effects traditional jewelry making can have on our environment. It is a fascinating call.

 

BEN MANNING
Ben Manning trained as a jewelry designer and has worked in the jewelry industry for over 15 years; 2 of which were spent in London.

Ben and his wife, Lindy, spent a few years working and travelling the world during which time he was able to research the jewelry industry and its impacts on the environment in quite some depth.  What he found shocked him and left him disappointed in his industry.

Ben says " Lindy and I witnessed first-hand the huge strain our earth was under from human intervention and believed it was time for change. There had to be a better, safer, and cleaner way of making jewelry.  My search began and the seed for Utopian Creations was sown".

Ben’s organization, Utopian Creations, began its life in 2005 as Australia's first fine and fashion eco-friendly jewelry company. Over the past 6 years, he’s completed over 100 commissioned wedding and engagement rings, all using eco-friendly materials and practices.

"We began our journey to help the Earth", he says, "and are able to continue our work thanks to our caring customers, friends, and family".

As well as making a range of ”recycled” jewelry with distribution outlets in a number of countries including Australia, USA, and Japan; Ben Manning also teaches other jewelers his sustainable techniques.

What is a Sustainable Garden, and how do you Design, Construct, and Maintain it?  Find out more in this special interview

In this interview, I speak to the authors of one of the best practical books on sustainability that I’ve seen.

The book is called Sustainable Gardens.  And the authors are Rob Cross and Roger Spencer who are both long time staff members with the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne.

We spoke about the most wonderful diagrammatic illustrations found in the book that clearly show, in picture form, how the main systems affecting the earth work. These include: (1) energy from the sun and emissions, (2) water, (3) materials such as waste products, (4) food, and (5) biodiversity/ecology.

Rob and Roger also spoke about the connections between human activity, resource depletion, and environmental degradation and the 3 main elements of a good sustainable garden – (1) Design, (2) Construction, and (3) Maintenance.

 

DR ROB CROSS & DR ROGER SPENCER
Dr Roger Spencer (BSc (Hons.), MSc, PhD, Cert, Gard.) has worked at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne for over 30 years. He is the Senior Horticultural Botanist and has written many popular and scientific articles on horticultural topics including books on Elms, Grey and

The secrets to becoming a good storyteller

This audio is included in Elevate Your Consciousness

Doug Lipman is recognized as one of the World’s leading storytelling teachers and coaches and he was one of my storytelling mentors going back many years.

On this call, Doug tells the engaging story of how he became a storyteller and then goes on to share why stories can be so powerful, and various techniques that will give a story the greatest impact.

Doug also suggests that it is just as important to have a conceptual (left-brain) component to a story, as well as the right-brain story component when communicating.  He says that to use just one of these components is like trying to walk with just one leg. 


DOUG LIPMAN
Doug Lipman is recognized as one of the world’s leading storytelling trainers and coaches. He’s been a professional storyteller for over 35 years, performing for people of all ages, on 3 different continents. He’s authored 4 books and has created many innovative multi-media forms of storytelling instruction, including the Storytelling Workshop in a Box and the Image Riding Toolkit – both of which I have.

Doug has also taught storytelling to scores of organizations, such as: The Jet Propulsion Lab (NASA); The World Bank;The Center for Creative Leadership; and MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). And of course has coached many professional storytellers, to help them improve their storytelling abilities and also their storytelling-marketing skills.

Doug told his first story to a room filled with emotionally disturbed adolescent boys. They began with their arms folded and sneers on their faces. A few seconds into the story, they fell into a listening trance.

That moment changed Doug's life. In a way, he has been pursuing that form of connection through storytelling, ever since.
