Energy Stew

Energy Stew - Are you resilient enough? - 08/25/12

Our culture today isn't shaped by the rules of yesterday. There's not a lot we can depend on for the long term. Jobs, the economy, the climate - we just don't know what to expect so we need to build a new culture that can handle change and limitation. We need to become resilient. James H. Lee has written a book entitled "Resilience and the Future of Everyday Life". He does a great job of describing the many ways we have already begun to evolve. We're sharing more and creating new community exchanges of goods, services and information. There are new ways to build, farm, bank, barter, learn, travel, shop and more that we should develop familiarity with. We'll need to rely more on basic skills and innovation.

Energy Stew - How are we really evolving? - 08/18/12

What does the term "evolution" imply?  We are in times of big change and expect evolution to do its magic.  What role do we play in evolution?  Carter Phipps book "Evolutionaries" provides a very well explored examination of this phenomenon and can help us understand ourselves and how we help move the process along.  He looks at the rich history of evolution and what it means in the present, not only about what we can expect but what we can do about it.  My interview with him will help you better understand the changes we are experiencing and how they will shape us.   Don't miss this chance to get a better grip on the times we are now in.  Having read his book, I feel so much better equipped to live in this topsy turvy world.

Energy Stew - More truths of the 52 card deck - 08/11/12

The previous show about the 52 card playing deck was a big hit and Alexander Dunlop is back to talk more about the deeper truths of the cards.  You can visit his website before the show to find your birth card (spiritualnutrition.org) and cards of family and friends.  Then you'll learn a great deal about yourself and others as Alexander talks about each card.  It's not only learning about your own card that makes this show special but hearing about all the other cards will put yours in perspective.  Get ready for a fascinating time.

Energy Stew - More information about the aging body - 08/04/12

We are continuing our discussion with John Ramsay, a doctor of Chinese Medicine, about how the body ages, what it lacks and to better care for it.  There are physical processes that need constant attention yet we haven't been taught about how to manage them properly.  It's not so easy and common nutrients and diet will probably not do. This doesn't mean it's that hard either, so it's helpful to know the finer truths and they can be addressed.  Tune in and get some special knowledge to help you stay younger.

Energy Stew - The power of Human Design in our lives - 07/28/12

Some people know how rewarding it is to know their own Human Design.  They are amazed to hear the mechanics of their unique personalities and subsequently have a language to know and speak about themselves.  It's so helpful to understand our idiosyncrasies.  J.R. "Randy" Richmond is one of the leaders of the Human Design movement.  Nine years ago, he was the one who tested me to be approved as an analyst.  As a psychotherapist, he uses Human Design to help addicts understand their unique designs and see the difficult traits they need to work with as well as learning to use their strengths better.

Energy Stew - 07/21/12

So many of us are doing all we can to stay healthy and youthful.  Our bodies know how to regenerate provided they are nourished.  Many physical processes need to work optimally so the more we know about them, the more we can support them.  John Ramsay is a Doctor of Chinese medicine and has carefully researched the wisdom of the East and the knowledge of the West to understand these processes.  This first interview with him talks about the different cycles of aging in our lives.  It's important to know what to expect of our bodies and how to treat them better to minimize the wear and tear.

Energy Stew - 07/14/12

So many of us are seeking more and more self-knowledge.  In knowing ourselves, we can manage our lives better and create more happiness.  It's a wonder that there are many people who are not working on self-development.  So many don't know how to take better care of themselves and are not trying to be more responsible for their growth.  A lot also pay lip service to it.

This show is a discussion with Steve Gottlieb and Mark Germain, two excellent intuitives, healers and counselors who will discuss the resistance we see when people don't want the knowledge or the work that it takes to improve their lives.

The power of a shamanic journey

Our dreams are often windows to our deeper selves.  What happens if we actually become masters of our dream life?  What if we can create dreams that fulfill specific purposes?  Shamanic dream journeys are initiated with a drum beat and the deep states of consciousness can be very productive.

Robert Moss, who leads shamanic dream workshops, has written a new book, "Dreaming the Soul Back Home:  Shamanic Dreaming for Healing and Becoming Whole".  In this interview, we talk about the power of this work and the many results one can have.

I recently took a workshop with Robert and was entirely satisfied with the insights and enhancements of the dream work he helped to facilitate for me.  This work is very experiential and speaks to the deepest parts of your soul.

Energy Stew - 06/30/12

Your spirit...your soul - What do they mean? We talk so much about our spirits and our souls but what are we really referring to?  Are we each thinking about them the same way?  If not, then what's really true about them?  How much do we really know about the deeper parts of ourselves that we all (or most of us) can agree on?

I took part in a linkedin discussion about this and was shocked at how many different viewpoints were expressed.  Two of the participants, I thought, provided the most wisdom so I asked them to do an interview with me.  They are Andrea Mathews and Johanna Carroll.  Both have written a number of books and have websites in their names.
