The wisdom of India's sacred scriptures

It's amazing how much wisdom was realized in ancient times in India. Many passages from The Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras, the Bhakti Sutras and more can be found in a new book entitled "Sacred Jewels of Yoga". I'm interviewing Dave DeLuca, who compiled the book. Each page is a separate passage of these scriptures or quotations from teachers such as Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. Dave and I will talk about some of the deep wisdom found in the book. You'll surely want to listen in.

Simple One Minute Mindfulness

A new book can help you be centered and clear in a minute. Donald Altman, the author of "The Mindfulness Code" has a wonderful new book, "One Minute Mindfulness". In so many ways, this helps you become more aware of the moment you are in and more conscious of what to do or be with it. It's another reference to keep near by when you want to get your head straight. You'll be inspired when you listen to this interview with him.

Gratitude Power

I've recently used a Gratitude Power Workbook that can transform so much of life's troubles. This show is about how gratitude can be an important tool for overcoming unhappy conditions. I'm interviewing a contributor to the workbook, Alan Kaufman, who will talk about how this power can work for you. Be sure to tune in. If we can just get into alignment with that soul awareness we might be guided more effectively with much less heartache. Jonathan's book offers deep, guided meditations to bring the soul energy to the fore and empower it. It's a book that helps understand the journey and makes it easier. Be sure to tune in to this interview with him.

Your Soul Will Solve It

Our egos think they are so smart. After all, they've been trying to protect us all our lives. Look what they've done for the economy and the environment. Our individual ego works hard at dodging the bullets and keeping our heads above water. What if there's a better way? Jonathan Parker thinks so and has written the book "Soul Solutions". He believes (and I agree) that our souls are so much smarter but we have to learn to trust them because they don't worry as much as our egos.

How to Improve Your "Mojo" Magic

There are so many boxes we are taught to live in and so many that just don't fit us. The best way to wiggle out of your boxes is to live in your "mojo" Dr. Bradford Keeney, an acclaimed psychotherapist and "Mojo Doctor" has written a very helpful book entitled "The Flying Drum". He's out to blow up all the boxes including the one's psychotherapists use even though he's the head of the psychotherapy association of Louisiana. He's been guided to many corners of the world to meet and study with unusual "witch doctors" who have taught him how to use magical tools. These are tools (toys) we can all use. My interview with him will open up new understandings and opportunities to live in your mojo magic. Be sure to tune in.

Do You Quantum Think?

It's so important to adjust our thinking to our current crazy lives. The old way is what got is into all this mess to begin with. There was such a great response to the last show with Dianne Collins that I asked her back to climb deeper in. She has written a very helpful book "Do You Quantum Think?" that helps our minds modernize. Dianne makes many distinctions that create insight and has many exercises to develop a more quantum mind. You'll really appreciate this interview and it may be a big help in your life. Be sure to tune in.

Why Some Of Us Don't Think Like Others

It can drive us nuts that some people in this world don't think, or even act, in ways we can understand. What drives them to be this way? In Human Design we can identify 3 different circuits that we operate on. They are Individual, Tribal or Collective. Each has its own rules that our brains follow. I'll be speaking with Gina Concotelli, a fellow Human Design consultant, as I am. We'll describe these traits and help you understand why so many of us are so different than others of us. Be sure to tune in.

A Tibetan Rinpoche talks about inner peace

Geshe Lama Ahbay Rinpoche is visiting NY after traveling to Washington with the Dalai Lama. Rinpoche is the head of a monastary in India where he teaches Buddhist precepts and was identified many years ago by the Dalai Lama as an incarnation of a famous hermit lama who had great powers. He'll be teaching in NY at the Open Center on July 22 & 23. My interview with him focuses on the difficulties creating inner peace and different solutions to overcome them.

Dialogue with your inner voices

There are good guys and tyrants in all of us that nudge us and possibly torment us each day. It's the inner judge, the inner admirer or other parts of us that want to be heard. Author Patty de Llosa has written a very helpful book called "Taming Your Inner Tyrant". I've really enjoyed reading her very insightful and captivating journey through her life dealing with her inner voices. We can learn a lot from her experience. Be sure to tune in to this enlightening interview.

Do You Quantum Think?

Thinking isn't what it used to be. The world is moving so quickly and surprisingly that it takes a lot to keep up with it (if we could). We certainly know life doesn't move in a linear fashion and nor should our thinking. Dianne Collins has written a very helpful book "Do You Quantum Think?" that helps our minds modernize. She makes many distinctions that create insight and has many exercises to develop a more quantum mind. You'll really appreciate this interview and it may be a big help in your life.
