COMMUNICATING THE WISDOM THAT'S CHANGING THE WORLD
| ||||||||||||
 If you read the front page story of the SF Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farralone Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her...  A very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.  They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed gently around-she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.  The man who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same. May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people who will swim with you in the deep waters that may engulf you, and who will help you become untangled from the things that bind you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. People will forget what you said... People will forget what you did... But people will never forget how you made them feel. |

"Our first task is to remember, in any given moment that we get frightened or paralyzed with something that has taken place, that the reason we are fearful is because we have identified with our own resistance to the moment, not with the moment itself. We have been captured by an aspect of our own character. One day we see it, and we pull back, and we bring ourselves back into the present moment where all possibilities exist, not just the false ones that fear offers to help us escape ourselves." With those words, Guy Finley guides you through a process of discovery by which you can free yourself from the limitations and self-judgment that prevent you from finding your greatest joy and living your most fulfilling life. He shows you how to dissect those moments when you meet that inner wall of resistance that tells you you're not good enough, will never be happy enough, and don't deserve a life free from struggle. You'll learn how to say no to that tyrant inside your mind so that you're no longer driven by your will, but guided by the deepest wisdom of your consciousness. Guy Finley is the founder and director of The Life of Learning Foundation, dedicated to helping individuals realize that the relationship they long for already exists. He is a philosopher and teacher of self-realization, and for more than three decades has taught workshops throughout North America and Europe. Mr. Finley is the author of more than thirty-six books, audio albums, and DVDs, including The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: Find the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again (Red Wheel/Weiser 2008) and Letting Go a Little Bit at a Time (Llewellyn Publications 2008).

Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev is one of those rare teachers who takes you with him as he peers inward and outward to the vast reaches of the universe, until you, too, can see everything you are. He shares his own experience of ultimate consciousness with a clarity and precision that makes it accessible for our contemporary western minds. His student, Cheryl Simone, is one of many who have lived amidst the riches of the material world, only to find it lacking. After years of searching, she found Sadhguru's techniques for "inner engineering" to be the key that finally opened the door to her own spiritual awakening. And this awakening is available to each of us. He explains, "When it comes to external realities each one of us is differently capable. When it comes to inner dimensions every one of us is capable of living every moment of our lives in an ecstatic way. Every step that you take, every breath that you take can become a process of liberation or bondage, depending on how consciously you handle it." Join us as he explains the inner science that can help you create inner well being and a lifelong connection to your boundless self. Cheryl Simone is C.E.O. of several businesses, and a lifelong spiritual seeker. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev is a yogi, a mystic, and a visionary. He has been a delegate to the United Nations Millennium Peace Summit, a member of the World Council of Religious Leaders, and a special invitee to the Australian Leadership Retreat, the Tallberg Forum, and the World Economic Forum. Cheryl Simone and Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev are co-authors of Midnights with the Mystic: A Little Guide to Freedom and Bliss (Hampton Roads 2008).

Mushrooms are our ancestors. Mycelium fields have a consciousness. Most importantly, they create the soil on which all of life on earth depends. And yet, we have identified less than ten percent of all species of mushrooms, and we're rapidly destroying the habitat they-and we-need to survive. As Paul Stamets says, "We are Neanderthals with nuclear weapons. I sense that our descendents are screaming back from the future saying, 'Wake up. Don't you see?' We have all this ability with Google, and the internet, and the ability to do DNA coding, and yet we don't have the most elementary understanding of the very organisms that generate the soil that gives us life." Mr. Stamets has made it his life's work to change that, and with this interview you can join him in that endeavor. You'll hear fascinating stories of the healing power of mushrooms, and how they may play a key role in reversing the destructive impact our modern technology and industry have had on our planet. His passion for his work is clear, and he's likely to inoculate you with a fascination for these organisms who have so very much to teach us. Paul Stamets has been a dedicated mycologist for more than thirty years, and is sought after the world over for his expertise. He has discovered four new species and pioneered countless techniques in the field of edible and medicinal mushroom cultivation. He has received numerous awards, including the 1998 Bioneers Award from the Collective Heritage Institute and National Geographic Adventure Magazine's 2008 Green-Novator award. He is the author of numerous articles and scholarly papers, as well as six books, including Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World (Ten Speed Press 2005).

The Broadcast Week Beginning Wednesday, January 28 - Feburary 3, 2009
As a practicing physician facing his own terminal illness at the age of thirty-three, Noah McKay went to Mexico to find sunshine. There, he learned that making the decision to live was the first step toward complete recovery. He went on to apply the diverse teachings of quantum physics, prana, meditation, alternative medical practices, and clinical medical science to his own healing and that of his patients. While incarcerated in federal prison for defending the rights of patients seeking alternative and complementary healthcare, he discovered the most elemental roots of healing that are available to each of us every day. He now applies those principles in his clinical work alongside other integral healing practitioners, and travels the world teaching others to do the same. He invites you to disengage from the habits of your busy life to uncover your own path toward health, and suggests, "If you can't get yourself into prison, find a sanctuary. Find a place where you can travel, leave your environment, because by leaving your environment not just for a day, but potentially two, three, four weeks, you will erase all of the memory that your body has been engrained into. You have ten trillion cells, and these cells all get engrained. As soon as you change time zones, you hear different language, you eat different food, you're giving yourself the ability to bring love back into your life." And when you return to love, the healing of your heart, your spirit, and your body can begin. Noah McKay, M.D., holds a medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and is a pioneer in bringing integrative medicine to the United States. He has twenty-five years clinical expertise and fifteen years as president and CEO at General Medical Clinics, the largest private integrative practice in the state of Washington. Dr. McKay has presented hundreds of seminars on radio, TV, and at international conferences in fourteen nations, and is the author of Wellness at Warp Speed: Your Health, Your Destiny, Your Choice (Mandala Publishing 2007).
