If you’ve ever wondered how in the world The Secret and the Law of Attraction really work, or if it truly works at all, then do we have the interview for you!

Today we talk with the run-away New York Times best-selling author Pam Grout, author of 17 books including E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality and E-Cubed: E-Cubed: Nine More Energy Experiments That Prove Manifesting Magic and Miracles Is Your Full-Time Gig.

This is a great meditation to do before you walk, run, or as a reset-button in the middle of the day. It’s a great way to get back into your body, to feel how you’re doing, and to shut off a racing monkey-mind. It helps you become more present, more aware of your thoughts, and to start to strengthen your mental muscles to control the incessant chatter. You’ll become more aware of thoughts, and better able to let them go.

And focusing on the breath, you’ll feel more energy and more at peace.

These are similar meditations to those by Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Eckhart Tolle, and many other of the great masters, but focusing on a more of a mindfulness element.

Relax as you learn to connect with your breath as you quiet your mind. You’ll feel greater energy, more at peace, and more centered in your body.

Namaste,

There are so many incredible books on NDE's by people like Deepak Chopra, Life After Death, and Dr. Eben Alexander, Proof of Heaven, plus writings from Wayne Dyer and countless others -- that's it great to hear a researcher's perspective, and what 5000 people have to share!

Get smarter at any age! If you’ve ever wanted to have a sharper mind with greater focus, better memory, more patient, creativity and resilience, then this interview with Dr. Michael Merzenich, the “father of brain plasticity” is for you!

Learn how to exercise your mind and get it sharper than ever.

Learn how to keep your mind strong into your golden years, and for seniors, how you can roll back the clock, and get a smarter brain at any age. And for parents, key tips to help your kids grow up smarter, and more engaged than ever!

Dr. Michael Merzenich is the pioneer in brain plasticity, or the ability to change the brain. According to him, the brain is not fixed as we’ve been taught, but can work better if we work on it. And not just a little, but huge changes. This means you could change careers, become an entrepreneur, or a singer, or do something completely outside your comfort zone and brain-power if you want. You can change your mind to be able to do anything.

Your IQ is not fixed. Your memory is not fixed. And you do not need to lose brain cells or get fuzzy-brained as you age. As he says “The brain is plastic till you die. You cannot kill it until you die. It is the greatest trick. We all have the capacity to be greater and get stronger.”

In this interview he suggests ways to make your brain stronger.

It’s an especially important interview for seniors, for parents, kids, and for returning veterans. For parents he discusses ways to increase children’s intelligence, and the dangers, and benefits of their technology. For seniors, he discusses ways to prevent trips, falls, hip fractures, and other potentially life-threatening injuries, through specific brain strategies.

And for all of us, he shows how we can enrich our lives by having sharper, more resilient, and smarter minds.

Deepak Chopra often talks about strengthening your brain. Wayne Dyer’s discussed it. Tony Robbins talks about NLP. And Dr. Michael Merzenich helps you life muscles with the mind, simply and easily, to give you the super-powered brain you always wished you had!

Lastly, as someone who has met the Dalai Lama several times, Dr. Merzenich discusses ways we can use our minds to increase compassion, kindness, happiness, and joy. These are things we could all use more of!!!

Inspiration | Motivation | Self-Help | Health | Business | Careers

This is a very powerful meditation for manifestation. You can bring about almost anything you desire through this simple yet powerful tool. Use this meditation once or twice a day to bring about greater health, wealth, happiness, abundance, joy, a new career, business, a new relationship--or future spouse, or even a new car or home!

The best way to bring something about in life is by feeling it alright being there.

This guided meditation will help you relax and imagine anything you desire in your mind's eye. It'll then help you feel, sense it, and believe it is real. This puts out an energetic pulse in the universe,similar to the Law of Attraction and ideas by the likes of Deepak Chopra or Wayne Dyer.

This is also a very relaxing meditation. The main body is 7 minutes long, but the music continues for 15 so you can focus on what you desire, and rest in the bliss.

I hope you enjoy. Namaste.

If you’ve ever struggled with your health or diet, wondering why in the world you keep getting colds, cavities, or a few extra pounds despite doing everything you can to take care of yourself, OR if you’ve ever struggled to maintain your energy through the day - despite cup after cup of bulletproof coffee, then THIS is the interview for you!

Today we interview John Durant, a modern caveman, bio-hacker and life-hacker, and author of the outrageously popular Paleo Manifesto.

We’ll talk about what’s Paleo, why the name has such a bad wrap, and why the caveman diet and nutrition, just may be for us.

We’ll discuss it’s biological origins, zoo animals, ancient man, Harvard evolutionary biologists, the Torah, Bible and Moses, and perhaps everything but the Ten Commandments.

We’ll learn why we may have been so much healthier BEFORE the agricultural revolution, but why it’s not too late to turn back the clock and get healthier now.

It’ll be a fascinating look at our health, and why our diets aren’t serving us. We’ll look at what does work and why, and simple ways we can begin to shift our health and energy levels today.

We’ll also look at why our germophobic society isn’t serving us, and why a healthy gut, means a healthy mind.

We’ll look at agricultural diets, vegetarian diets, vegan diets, raw food diets, gluten and gluten-free, fermented foods, the ethical treatment of animals and much, much more.

We look at myths, dogma, addiction and societal demands, and how we can mindfully move past this to make our own choices, and discover our own healthy eating habits.

This is one interview that will leave you better equipped to make healthy choices to feel better about your body, your energy levels, and even a clearer mind, TODAY.

Show Intro Transcript:

Today we have a very australopithic guest on our show.

His name is John Durant, and he’s been called a professional caveman, though I guess that’d be a Neanderthal. John Durant is an author, entrepreneur, venture investor, and yes, modern caveman.

His first book, The Paleo Manifesto, advocates using our evolutionary history to combat the global epidemic of chronic health problems.

He has been featured in the New York Times, The New Yorker, NPR Morning Edition, CBC, Der Spiegel, and The Colbert Report. He has spoken at Google, Harvard, and The Nantucket Project and has been rated one of The 100 Most Influential People in Health & Fitness by Greatist.

He’s also the founder of Wild Ventures, a venture group specializing in consumer health products & technology.

Prior to becoming a professional caveman, he studied evolutionary psychology at Harvard. He thinks you should try a polar bear swim, intermittent fasting, and bone marrow.

For myself personally, I’ve been going down this caveman road for years without realizing it. I wrote a best-selling books on barefoot running, barefoot walking and connecting with the earth, and still go barefoot wherever I can even in the snow, I’ll also jump in freezing water no matter the temperature, and I’m always asking, what would ancient man have done?

I’ve called myself a tinkerer, or what John would call a hacker, or a bio-hacker, continuously asking questions and experimenting on ourselves.

One area I’m fascinated with is diet. For myself, I’d been nearly a lifelong vegan or vegetarian until recently.

For the last three years, I was even a fully raw vegan. But at that point I was getting fracture after fracture, until I had my bone density tested and found it through the floor. Fortunately, at the time, I had felt this strong calling to try eating differently and had been drawn to the benefits of bone broth.

Since then, I’ve made my way back up the food chain, and now call myself a vegetarian with meat-eating tendencies.

But we’ll be talking with John about this, about what Paleo is, about what a great caveman diet is, a farmer diet, an industrial diet, and even about why vegan or vegetarian, may not be the way to go.

I think it’ll be a fun and fascinating talk, one which may have you questioning your own food choices and habits, and asking, what would caveman do?

Betsy shares her journey to meteoric success with What the Bleep, and then how she cracked, and how her world then fractured apart.

People thought she had ALL the answers. She was considered spiritually enlightened, paid thousands for motivational, spiritual gigs, and even opened for Deepak Chopra. She thought she had all the answers too. Then she cracked, and found she had none! But out of this came a shiftin of her beliefs, that helped her put her life back together again, and to live the life of her dreams.

She shares a key secret to life, that happiness is an inside job. She also shares how we can find this inside of ourselves. She helps us become more mindful, culture greater awareness or consciousness, and helps us learn to be more present with our thoughts, and our belief systems.

She recently wrote a book called Tipping Sacred Cows. The goal, to help us all see how we’re trapped by our beliefs, and how we can unearth and get rid of these limiting thoughts.

She discusses The Secret, meditation, and the Law of Attraction – and how she uses it along with attachment, and failure. And why failure to her, is one of the greatest ways to live! She also talks about the My Life Sucks game and how to use it to turn your life around.

And she talks about teaching our kids how to think, keep them from limiting beliefs, and help keep their awareness and consciousness open to all possibilities.

This is a fascinating discussion filled with laughter, insightful moments, and great stories. Most of all, it’s filled with fantastic advice to help us unlock our own beliefs, see what’s limiting us, and to tip our own sacred cows. After listening to Betsy, you’ll be looking at your world, a different way, with more unlimited potential and less blocking your path.

That, and after you’re done laughing, you’ll feel pretty darn good about life as well!

Want to make big changes in your life? Dissatisfied with your career, life-direction, health, lack of happiness, or even the amount of 000’s in your bank account? Is your heart screaming at you or do you feel off-purpose, off-track or out of alignment with your higher, spiritual self? If so, then this interview with CJ Liu, the famous host of the Fire it Up with CJ is for you!

CJ Liu specializes in helping people determine when and why it’s time to make the big move, how to overcome fear and make positive changes in your life!

She was once an extremely successful Microsoft business exec, before feeling an incredibly strong need to change her life. She felt stuck, off-task and off-purpose, and her heart was screaming at her. It was her wake-up call, or something we almost all experience with injury, illness, a lack of sleep, or a twisting in our guts, before we make big changes in our lives. To CJ, it’s our soul or guts way of saying, I’ve gotta get out of here!

She knew if she didn’t leave now she never would. So she left it all behind, even without knowing what to do next. She spent several years soul-searching before figuring it out.

And you’ll learn the importance of mindfulness, and how to listen to that inner-guidance that’ll take you to where you want to be!

This interview will help you overcome fear, understand how and why you need to change, start doing what you love and living your greatest life! Prepare to Shine Bright!

Show Notes:

• CJ’s Path to Radio Host and Career, Life and Business Coach
  • Wake up call – father died, melt down in Costco parking lot
  • Existential Dilemma - Had everything, still miserable and life sucks
  • For two years stayed with Microsoft, but hired a career coach and took a test that showed she had interests in everything
  • Career Test showed she should be a high level military official, superintendent of school, interior decorator
  • Did informational interviews, everyone said their jobs were terrible.
  • Was afraid of being trapped at Microsoft. Felt like a lobster in a boiling pot; if she never leaves now, she will never leave because she loved it – though it didn’t feel like her calling.
  • Afraid if she didn’t leave, she’d never find out what she’s meant to do
  • All she knew was if she didn’t leave, “I was going to die”
  • One woman suggested she should become a life coach – helping others start doing things they love doing
  • Taught work-life balance courses at Peps
  • Took a life-coaching class

• How do you know you’re on the right track?
  • You’ll have a physical response, you’ll just know it, it’s not an intellectual response.
  • In CJ’s case she felt “My job is no longer meaningful. It’s not what I’m meant to do. I go into work and I feel like I’m going to die, but I don’t know what I should do instead”
• When you need to change you often start getting a physical ailment, headaches, literally can’t do it anymore
• It’s your soul saying something’s not working – wake-up calls are someone getting sick or breaking something
• It’s important to understand what you want from every angle, in every way, with all 5 senses
  • This helps when you know what you don’t want, to know what you do want
• Examine & overcome blocks (belief systems that stand in the way of pursuing what you really want) such as “I don’t think I can make enough money as a…” “I feel like I’ll waste law school…” “I’ll disappoint my family…”

• There are TWO CATEGORIES of fear:
  • FIRST: Fear of unknown, being too big, fear of failing – overcome them by understanding they are there.
    • To help: NLP, EFT, visualization and meditation techniques help to rewire the brain
  • SECOND: Fear that people will see me and know that you’re not worthy, that you’re a fake, you’re going to fail
  • ALSO:
    • Fear of being unsafe - Need to have safety, Maslow hierarchy needs met, then love and self-esteem
    • Fear of having no value
  • Solution: Need to go down to the very root of the raw emotion
  • You’re allowed to wallow in it for 2 or 3 minutes, suddenly pop out of it because you realize how absurd the fear is
  • If you’re afraid of finances, meet with a financial planner so you know how much money you really need or to make, for instance if you need to pay for college or have enough for retirement
  • Living is about living fully and having great experiences
  • 3 Key Pieces of Advice

It was the ultimate twist of fate that a famous neurosurgeon who taught at Harvard, and would tell patients and students alike that the soul is merely an illusion of the mind, would be struck down with what should have been a fatal brain disease.

Dr. Eben Alexander spent a week in a coma, brain-dead with cerebral meningitis, with doctors suggesting his wife pull the plug. They gave up on antibiotics and waited for him to die. But after 7 days without any signs of brain activity, he miraculously came back, and with the most incredible near-death experience to share.

This is a truly life-changing interview. Here’s a doctor who’s entire life was built around a premise that there is no afterlife. And yet when he returns, he shares a completely different story. If you believe his story, and it’s hard not to, then it completely changes, or affirms, everything we think about life, about death, and where we’re going from here.

It can’t help but get you thinking, and quite possibly living your life a different way.

This is an incredibly powerful and heartfelt interview that’ll have you on the edge of your seat, and leave you feeling great to be alive! 

Show Introduction:

Today we have a life-changing guest on the show. I found his book to be incredible powerful, and moving. It’s ironic to say moving, since you used to be one of the most analytical, left-brained people out there.

His name is Dr. Eben Alexander, until 2008 he had been a renowned academic neurosurgeon for over 30 years and taught at Harvard Medical Center for over 15 years. He thought he knew how the mind, brain and consciousness worked, and that Near Death Experiences, and any other unusual experiences were merely illusions or aberrations created by the mind. If someone was resuscitated and told him about it, perhaps seeing a bright light, or visiting deceased loved one’s, he’d very kindly and compassionately tell them it just wasn’t possible. It wasn’t science, and that they’re mind made it up.

Yet he’d seen a lot in the operating room and in ER. He’d seen patient appear to die and come back. He’d seen miraculous bursts of lucidity or clarity just before people’s deaths, and much more that he couldn’t even begin to explain. But as a hard-nosed scientist, he ignored people’s stories, reports, and what he’d even seen with his own two eyes.

And that made him such a perfect candidate for what would happen next.

That’s where we pick up the interview, talking about Near Death Experiences, the possibility of after-life, about what the human brain does and does not do…or maybe to say, why it doesn’t let us see certain things, and why what he experienced means so much for us.

This won’t be all woo-woo, because that’s not where Dr. Alexander comes from, he comes from the linear, right brain, Age of Reason, scientific, PROVE IT WITH SCIENCE and statistics world.

This is a life-changing interview, if nothing else, it’ll stop you in your tracks, giving you a new perspective on life, on death, and of living your greatest life here on Earth.

For myself, I found Dr. Eben Alexander’s book Proof of God, to be perhaps the most single important book I’ve ever read this lifetime. And if you know my show, you’ll know I read a LOT.

Topics Include:

Topics and Questions:

a.       What was Dr. Eben Alexander like before he “died”.

b.      What happened physically when he contracted meningitis.

c.       Why he shouldn’t have lived from the rare, fatal disease.

d.      What he experiencing while he was brain dead.

e.      What was happening to him spirituality during this week and beyond.

f.        Could it have been a brief hallucination, delusion, or fantasy?

g.       Reading your latest book, it seems like these experiences have happened since the beginning of written work, if these are so real, why haven’t they been studied, or written up, or why isn’t this knowledge mainstream?

h.      There’s a point in your journey where you were travelling on a butterfly, and a woman was there with you who told you three key things. What were those three things?

i.         How long did it feel like you were gone for?

j.        In the Map of Heaven, you talk about having lost hope, or the newness for life before your experience. What were you like when you came back?

k.       I (Michael Sandler) have had two near-death experiences, both of which radically changed me. Even the laugh you here now, and my Woo Hoo came out of my experiences. I’m not the same person I was, each time I died on the trails. How have you changed?

l.         During my second experience, the best-way I could describe it, was I was getting downloads, like drinking from a firehouse. I was laying in a freezing creek by Lake Tahoe, forcing myself to breath, staring out up at the most brilliant sun I’ve ever seen, while torrents of information seemed to come to me. I’m still working to decipher them all, but this show was one of the pieces that came out of it. I was reading in your book that you were taking these fantastical visits and getting the most incredible downloads. I don’t know how you put it in words, but what kind of downloads were you getting?

m.     What kind of downloads did you get?

n.      What’s your latest insight based on the downloads or on the experience?

o.      What does this experience mean for us?

p.      What can you tell us about the brain and consciousness, based on what you’ve learned

q.      Jessica always asks that I ask a question about children, child-raising, or infants. In this case, she asked if kids come into this world without the same veil, buffers, or restrictions of an adult mind, kids brains also limit them in the same way adult brains do, or is the veil more translucent at this point?

r.        What are some of the key themes you learned from your journey?

s.       What does it mean to be living under the aspect of eternity?

t.        What does Love vs. Fear mean to you?

u.      How can we live differently based on what you’ve experienced?

v.       Writing this book could not have done wonders for your career as a neurosurgeon, so why did you write this book? And what’s the most important thing you hope people get from it?

w.     Why did you write The Map of Heaven, your second book?

x.       You write toward the end of your second book The Map of Heaven, a quote of Aldous Huxley, a famous writer “This world is an illusion, but it is an illusion we must take seriously. Because it is real as far as it goes…we must find a way of being in this world while not being in it.” Why did you include this, and what do you mean by it?
