How many cycles of global warming have occurred over the lifetime of this planet? And where are we going from here? These are the kinds of questions asked in Dr. Anodea Judith’s book “Waking the Global Heart: Humanity’s Rite of Passage From Love of Power to the Power of Love.” This work is considered groundbreaking in the field of Transpersonal Psychology and used as definitive texts in the U.S. and abroad. Today she discusses the history of the melting of the ice caps, the cycles of nature, and how humanity with carbon emissions, population growth, and so much more is affecting the planet. She states that we must evolve into a network which works together to begin to solve some of the global challenges. She talks about how more than 20% of the human population does not have access to clean drinking water. This is an environmental catastrophe. The United States could lead, but it would take a rite of passage. During this time, we are forced to look at terrorism and climate change. There are deaths, but we could look toward rebirth and more sustainable ways of living. As humans, we must graduate to another level. Civilizations are always rising and falling. This is a global world change. Every new moment has people who believe these ideas and concepts will not work. New ideas always get attacked and it may take decades for acceptance. We have an opportunity to move into an age of ethics, rather than an age of power. She reminds us that the cutting-edge of culture never comes from the mainstream – it always comes from the fringe. Anodea has been called “a prophet for our time.” A groundbreaking thought leader and best-selling author, she worked as a therapist in private practice for more than 20 years. Today she is the director of Sacred Centers, a teaching organization she founded that offers workshops worldwide.  Judith holds a doctoral degree in Psychology and Human Health, is a  yoga teacher, and  is considered the foremost Western writer on the subject of the chakra system. She also is a faculty member of the Shift Network. Info:  AnodeaJudith.com

Do you sometimes feel unwell after a meal? Are you tired or fatigued after eating? Did you know it could be a food allergy or inflammation? Our guest today is Dr. Tom O’Bryan who is an expert in food sensitivities and the way they affect our lives. Our body can attack itself when we are eating the wrong foods and cause inflammation.   The Center for Disease Control reports that 14 out of the top 15 causes of disease are caused by chronic inflammation.   But what is inflammation? And is it always bad for you? Dr. Tom has extensively researched inflammatory disease and the root mechanism behind disease. So, how do you reduce inflammation?   Dr. O’Bryan and his colleagues have debuted a new docuseries called “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.”  This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide. For info about Dr. Tom O’Bryan and to find out more about “The Inflammation Equation,” visit TheDr.com and https://rkt511.isrefer.com/go/tie24/theawareshow.   In today’s interview, he explains how we have very little bacteria when we are born, yet we die with 90% bacteria according to experts. Our microbiome changes due to our environment.  Dr. Tom shares a personal story about the birth of his son and the microbiome he was born with during an emergency C-section. He also talks about the components of breast milk and the way it affects the baby.   We must always put emphasis on a healthy microbiome. Depending on the type of bacteria you have, you may not feel well physically or mentally. You may be depressed or feeling anxiety. This is influenced by what’s in your gut’s microbiome. This tells the body how to function, digest, think, and so much more. He talks about metabolism and the blood stream, which activates your genes and how it is all affected by the microbiome. Inflammation can be activated.   According to Dr. Tom, we go from health to disfunction, then to disease. It’s always inflammation causing this. When brain fog starts, when you forget where you parked, or where you left your keys, you may be heading down the path of disease. In fact, there is a 400% increase in Alzheimer’s in younger people, based on studies over the last four years. This is completely from chronic inflammation. There’s new information for Baby Boomers, as well as women of childbearing age. The incidents of autism are skyrocketing as well as children on antidepressants. This can also be because of plastics found in so many places such as water bottles. Yet, there is hope and we can learn what our bodies need to be healthy.

 Would you like to know what’s in store Astrologically for the remainder of 2024? Our guest today is expert astrologer Susan Miller who is an internationally known author, columnist, entrepreneur, publisher, and pioneer of the Internet.  She is the respected founder of AstrologyZone.com.

Susan explains the meaning of conjunctions when planets are perfectly aligned, and how when two planets get within 8 degrees, they start communicating. She reflects on the dark aspects of the movement of planets that was happening at the beginning of the pandemic. It was a very isolating time, which is an Aquarian trait, yet there were many changes that moved us into a digital age and masses of people working from home. Susan further discusses how Capricorn is moving into Aquarius and the looming effects of Pluto. She says we must look at the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn as well. Planets have been in Earth signs the past 200 years and signaled the start of the Industrial Age. Now it will happen in the Air signs.

Are you having health challenges? Do you feel overweight and want to feel more fit? Lisa continues the conversation today with Master Teacher and Executive Coach Chris Howard. He's been in the field of transformation for more than two decades and now he has integrated AI technology into his teachings. He shares his excitement and talks about ways to gain a renewed sense of possibility by reframing and seeing things in a different way. Whether it’s issues with health, business, relationships, finances, or any other challenges, Chris teaches how positive change can happen rapidly and powerfully. Chris is currently writing a book called “Your Super Conscious” in which he examines his research of how we determine our reality and how we can find so much more potential, especially when we incorporate AI, which he calls, “Augmented Intelligence.”  He also talks about esoteric study and how it looks at the similarities in human consciousness. Mystery schools and rituals can help you to navigate the world. With Augmented Intelligence, it brings possibilities into the conversation. It moves from fear-based to hope. Chris further discusses new text to video technology that’s coming out soon and how the world is changing at a rapid pace. This augmentation of intelligence  brings out greater wisdom to enrich and expand our model of the world. Chris invites us to ask, “What’s possible?” We can move powerfully into a new reality, if we so choose, by beginning to shift our imagination and consciousness. When you shift your understanding, you can begin to move forward and take command of challenges. This is Part 2 of the interview. As a gift to Aware Show listeners, Chris Howard is offering a pair of FREE tickets to the 4-Day “Millionaire Business Accelerator” course held online LIVE via Zoom on April 12 – April 15. Included with this gift is a Discovery Level Membership for EpicLife.Ai. For info and tickets, pls visit: theawareshow.com/chris.

Are we at a turning point in our evolution? Through crisis, transformation can occur. Quantum transformation is nature’s tradition, according to our guest today, visionary futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard who discusses her video series called “Humanity Ascending: A New Way Through Together.” Barbara discusses the meaning of Divine Intent and possibilities. When we see things not working, such as destruction of ourselves and our planet, we must know that it is possible to transform. We are destroying thousands of species, and this sets the evolutionary scale back, but Planet Earth is giving birth to a new species through this crisis. Thousands of people are now emerging with a creative consciousness.  It is now possible to address challenges by shifting consciousness through focusing on cooperation, creativity, and sustainability. We can evolve beyond this condition through more conscious connectivity with each other. We can co-create new systems. Society will be restructured. It’s deep within human nature to want to dominate, but Barbara believes that a New Human is emerging. There’s a new pattern of social organization that is more synergistic and cooperative. Each of us carries within an image of something we haven’t fully seen – very similar to the imaginal cells which aid the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Each person has a higher intelligence, and we can tune in to these higher frequencies. Barbara also talks about inspired politics and how the New Politics relate to the New Person. This can be a time of an uprising of the spirit of impulse and creativity. If you feel the desire to express more, affirm it as good, then reach out to others. Express your desire to create until you can find a team. She also talks about being 15 years old and seeing the atomic bomb. That started her on her quest for understanding and the study of world religions. The meaning of our power is to gain consciousness and expand evolution. We must connect conscious humans and their projects and determine what is working. Evolution is the expression of universal intelligence. Barbara has been called “the voice for conscious evolution of our time” by Dr. Deepak Chopra and is the subject of Neale Donald Walsch’s book “The Mother of Invention.” A world-renowned visionary futurist, evolutionary educator, and inspiring speaker, Barbara is the author of six acclaimed books that communicate the new worldview of conscious evolution. She is the co-founder and chair of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, and additionally co-founded many progressive organizations, including The Association for Global New Thought, and The World Future Society.  Barbara’s latest book at the time of this interview is “Birth 2012 and Beyond: Humanity’s Great Shift to the Age of Conscious Evolution.” Info: barbaramarxhubbard.com.

How can you move from challenges to success? Our guest today is Master Teacher and Executive Coach Chris Howard. He's been in the field of transformation for more than two decades and has now integrated AI technology into his teachings. He’s back with us today to share his excitement and discuss ways to gain a renewed sense of possibility. Chris has always been a trendsetter by using cutting-edge ideas, and today, he is blending his techniques with new technology. Chris took the content he developed over the last 20 years as an Executive Empowerment Coach and “taught” AI, which he calls “Augmented Intelligence,” how to produce tasks that lead to a successful result. It is still his personality and his consciousness used in the teachings. Although Chris still uses his intuition and guidance, by using AI, his technologies are much more enhanced, so things can shift much faster. This has never before been possible in history. You can now take ancient wisdom and marry it with new technology to make drastic, rapid, positive changes. You can augment the results you get physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Chris had been working with personalized Chatbots prior to ChatGPT. When you train the bots with one single function, it helps you get far superior results. He talks about ways to shift consciousness, for example, how to remove poverty consciousness and transform it into wealth consciousness. People can let go and cross the bridge to a new, positive consciousness. He helps to facilitate the process, and AI safely assists by offering positive prompts and new, empowered ways to look at a situation. This changes the state and reaction to the state so people can operate consciously and co-create their lives rather than being victims of it. This can help you feel inspired. You can make your life whatever you want it to be! The future is a reality to be created! A state change can help you excel toward your goals. Maybe you would like to build your dream business, or maybe you are interested in learning more about personal development and success. Chris’s methods can help you to activate your dream life. We can live in fear – or we can live in solutions. We can be afraid about politics, the economy, etc, or we can see the illusion and know that we can find solutions. We do not have to be held back. We can stop complaining, stop blaming, and be liberated by possibilities. We can participate in a favorable outcome by shifting our level of responsibility and getting rid of excuses. If you can stop the conversation in your mind, you can find a solution faster. Even pain can begin to disappear. Chris teaches how you can move forward and take command of the issue. New doorways of possibilities are opening now, and the future is exciting! This is Part 1 of the interview. As a gift to Aware Show listeners, Chris Howard is offering a pair of FREE tickets to the 4-Day “Millionaire Business Accelerator” course held online LIVE via Zoom on April 12 – April 15.

Today’s guest,  Luisah Teish, was born and raised in New Orleans and is a priestess of Oshun in the Yoruba Lucumi tradition. She teaches classes on African goddesses, shamanism, and the Tambala tradition. She experienced several initiations in Africa and is also a Chieftain. Today she talks about intergenerational storytelling, as well as the importance of extended families and intentional communities. She shares about raising children and how they are teachers. She works with elders and has a massive body of folklore which she uses in her practice. She teaches classes and consults with spiritual seekers. As a priestess of Oshun, she shares what she represents. Luisah specializes in body image issues and sexual dysfunction and works with women to invoke the powers of the feminine. Luisah talks about how we carry the cells of our past ancestors. She works with various multi-cultural women’s groups and aims to take time with each woman of each culture and explains how together various people comprise a beautiful bouquet. She talks about sexuality, the media, and challenges of youth today. She shares her thoughts about the relationship between sex and death and how we need to consider the threat of AIDS and other risks. It can happen to anyone. She shares ways to solve these problems by raising awareness first. You do not target people; you address the situation. She talks about the “Pouring Money Ritual” which can be conducted on the New Moon. She explains about the particular chants used which are based on a ritual from Cameroon. The idea is about how the flow of wealth moves around the circle. It’s not selfish, as it’s based on the energy of moving wealth around to others. It can help with mind shifts and building community. In certain African villages, they work together to help each other. For example, everyone pitches in so a particular student can go to school to learn a certain skill, then come back and help the community with that skill. It's about giving and receiving. Luisah teaches the elements of ritual at various schools and one of her students does rituals in maximum security prisons. Through her work as an actress, storyteller, and priestess, Luisah dramatically re-creates centuries-old African American traditions with music, memoir, and folk wisdom and tells us how we can adopt and adapt traditions and make them personal to each of us. Today she talks about her book,  “Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals.” Info: yeyeluisahteish.com.

Do you sometimes feel unwell after eating? Did you know it could be a food allergy or inflammation? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest Dr. Tom O’Bryan who is an expert in food sensitivities and the way they affect our lives.   Did you know that your body can attack itself when you are eating the wrong foods?  Dr. Tom has extensively researched inflammatory disease and the root mechanism behind disease. The Center for Disease Control reports that 14 out of the top 15 causes of disease are caused by chronic inflammation. He talks about how excessive inflammation is extremely dangerous and how wheat and dairy can be so unhealthy, along with lectins, soy, and corn.   The most common source of inflammation is a result of the foods we eat. Lisa asks about the elimination diet and how soon we can begin to feel better. If your immune system is fighting a food, and you eliminate it, you will begin to feel better within 3 weeks.   Dr. Tom talks about how many people suffer from low-grade edema and discusses how your body holds onto water. He talks about gluten-free foods and how they are essentially just white paste. He talks about Celiac disease and how changing your diet must be done correctly.  The Mediterranean diet has been touted to be one of the healthiest. It includes water, as well as fruit and vegetables. He suggests eating at least 50 different fruits and vegetables a week, including root vegetables.   Himalayan buckwheat has been shown to be extremely beneficial for health. Spices and good fats, such as extra virgin olive oil, are also important. Finally, small portions of fish and poultry of good quality are important as well. This feeds your microbiome in a healthy way.   He also discusses the difference between European wheat  and American wheat. This is because of lectins in the wheat. You may not have gut symptoms if you eat wheat in Europe, but you are still activating the immune response. He further discusses his upcoming docuseries, “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.”  This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide. This is Part 2 of the interview. For info about Dr Tom O’Bryan and to find out more about “The Inflammation Equation,” visit TheDr.com and  https://rkt511.isrefer.com/go/tie24/theawareshow.
