35 years ago, Cynthia Jurs met a 106-year-old lama high in the mountains of Tibet and asked him a question that changed the course of her life.

In her new memoir, applauded by elders including Joanna Macy, David Abrams, Jack Kornfield and her beloved long-time teacher Thich Nhat Hahn, Cynthia recounts her decades-long quest of burying Earth Treasure Vases to bring care to areas of the Earth most in need of protection and healing.

Join us for an inspiring conversation about:

• trusting intuition and magic
• letting curiosity lead the way
• looking to the stars for guidance

and collaborating with the help that is always available.

Cynthia’s journey invites us to open to guidance from the natural world and trust the wisdom of the Earth at this pivotal time of collective awakening.

The most current research on the brain has shown us that when you understand how your brain works, you can influence how it operates to increase your emotional and mental well-being.

In this episode, I’m delighted to be joined by Ursula Pottinga, PCC, professional coach and co-leader of an intensive neuro-transformational coach training program I completed this year.

Ursula has been coaching leaders for years on how to increase the value of their impact using BeAbove Leadership’s Map of the Seven Levels of Personal, Group, and Organizational Effectiveness.

The 7 Levels increase in resonance and effectiveness from:
Hopelessness
Fear
Frustration
Courage
Engagement
Innovation
Synchronicity

Based on Dr. David Hawkins's Map of Consciousness and Dr. Dan Siegel's mindfulness and neuroscience research, this map can help you recognize your own default position and gain insight and practical tools to raise your personal level of resonance and effectiveness.

Lynda Caesara is a structural body worker who’s spent decades working with imbalances in the body. She helps people come back into optimal health through both physical and energetic alignment.

In our conversation Lynda speaks to managing our electro-magnetic fields and offers five essential practices for connecting to and harnessing energy in the body. Done consistently, these practices will support you in creating a clear and grounded energetic field so you can access the full power of your life force.

We explore:

• working with the body's innate capacity to heal
• understanding fear and our nervous system responses
• clearing stagnant energy to restore the free flow of our chi, or life force
• connecting with large coherent fields to shift from dissonance to harmony in our being

She also walks us through a five step daily attention practice to declutter your personal energetic space:

1. Connecting with your centre
2. Grounding into the earth
3. Clearing your energy field
4. Cultivating clear boundaries ~ and why they are essential to true intimacy
5. Attuning to your chakras (including the eighth and ninth)

Lynda is not currently taking on new clients but if you want to know more about her work, she points to this excellent podcast interview (hosted by one of her long time students) that explores her work in even greater detail:

On today’s show I’m talking with Rogers Masson, a friend and remarkable human, who opens up about his journey with PTSD, and the transformative effects he experienced through psychedelic assisted therapy.

We talk about why trauma is such a challenging thing for us to navigate, and ways to orient to it that support integration and wholeness.

Rogers speaks about how the effects of MDMA (aka: Ecstasy) were significantly more healing for him than traditional therapy and also shares a negative impact in his treatment that moved him to draw on his 30 year career as a music producer to found a company dedicated to creating sound environments that greatly enhance the healing power of these medicine sessions.

Join us for an exploration of:

• the stigma of expressing emotions for men
• the cost of compartmentalization in our lives
• how to be with intense experiences so they are not stored as trauma
• how trauma anchors young parts of us in the past
• giving fragmented parts of self a home in present time
• creating wholeness through cultivating new stories of our past experiences

Steve Taylor is a transpersonal psychologist, researcher and author of 15 best-selling books on psychology and spirituality.

Our conversation begins with one of his earlier books: “Disconnected: The Roots of Human Cruelty, and How Connection Can Heal the World” which explores the continuum of human nature from psychopathy to spirituality and then we turn toward his most recent book “The Adventure: A Practical Guide to Spiritual Awakening” which delves into eight qualities of spiritually awakened people:

• dis-identification from the ego
• gratitude
• presence
• altruism
• acceptance
• integration with the body
• detachment
• embracing mortality

Steve shares practical exercises and meditations that help us cultivate these qualities, and offers insight into why practicing them leads to deep connection with yourself and others and through that, genuine happiness and fulfillment.

Steve Taylor is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University, and the author of several best-selling books on psychology and spirituality.

His articles and essays have been published in over 100 academic journals, magazines and newspapers. He regularly appears in the media in the UK and writes blog articles for Scientific American, and Psychology Today.
