    How to Heal Childhood and Generational Wounds with Anat Peri and Chris Marhefka

    Do you struggle with traumas of your past? Do you have memories of your childhood that continue to resurface? Sam had been tormented by disturbing images inadvertently flashing across the screen of his mind for many years. Daily, he felt forced by his subconscious to watch himself being violently punished by some unrecognizable person. Sam told me that, as a child, he was regularly beaten and slapped around by his father. At first glance, it may seem pretty obvious that the violent images that tortured Sam as an adult were nothing but vivid memories of his traumatic punishments. Yet every form of therapy he'd sought to relieve the effects of these traumas had failed, and a part of Sam continued to project these images onto the screen of his mind. So how did Sam's need for survival lead to these visions? Join me, and Training Camp for the Soul's Anat Peri and Chris Marhefka to explore intergenerational traumas, and beliefs, behaviors and habits that are so ingrained that we don't know why they are there – how they keep us trapped and how we can move past them.

    What's the meaning of life and what's our consciousness? w/ Mark Gober

    Do you ever wonder about the purpose of your life and what you are here for?  Most of us don't take the time to contemplate such philosophical head-scratchers - until we are forced to, which happened to me when I woke up at 2AM with horrible abdominal pain. After being rushed to the ER, it turned out to be a relatively minor gallbladder issue, but it felt like my system was giving me a solid knock to make me notice that lately, I may not have been caring for myself. It also gave me another wake-up call for evaluating my purpose and whether I am living in alignment with it. Fittingly, my guest this week on my Get Real podcast has written two books on consciousness and the meaning of life. Author Mark Gober 's worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he was exposed to world-changing science. Mark says, "I argue that the brain acts more like a filtering mechanism that restricts, limits, and processes a consciousness that exists independently of the body. Consciousness doesn't need a brain to be conscious. Rather, the brain gets in the way like a blindfold; it is the lens that governs the type of consciousness we experience."

    Why do we do what we do?   What drives our choices and actions more than any outside influences is also one of the least acknowledged aspects of our psyche. I am talking about core values. Values define what is important to us – and what makes us either go towards something – or away from something. When we live in alignment with our values, we usually feel happier and more fulfilled. When we make choices against our values, we often struggle with anxiety, depression, or a sense of emptiness.   Do you know your values?

    Do We Have Past and Future Lives? w/ Dena Merriam

    Do you believe in karma, the law of cause and effect? To quote Wayne Dyer: “How people treat you is their karma – how they react is yours.” Another wise man said that we are free to choose, but we are not free from the consequence of our choice. But how often have we seen people doing horrible things, lying, cheating, hurting others – and they still seem to get away with it? Does this mean that karma doesn't exist and that there is no justice in the universe? But what if our karma is like the blueprint for future lives? What if we had past lives and are working through our old karma this time around? This is how many Eastern philosophies view our existence. You may think past lives don't exist because you have no recollection of living in ancient Egypt or during the medieval times. But my guest on this next episode of Get Real, Dena Merriam, has very clear memories about her past lives and wrote several bestselling books about it. During her years of meditation, many vivid memories of past births began to emerge, revealing an intricate and subtle pattern of cause and effect, the law of karmic unfolding. The purpose of sharing these intimate stories is to help people see the long arch of their life, whether they retain memories or not, to help overcome fear and anxiety about death and to understand more fully the workings of cause and effect.

    Five mistakes we make with our anxiety

    For almost twenty years, I have been on my soapbox about how to view anxiety not as our enemy but as our responsibility. Rather than wrestling with our emotions, we need to accept them as a form of communication from the deeper parts of our minds. When it comes to anxiety, at first glance, its messages are about not being safe or being worried about the future. Yet, when we dig a bit deeper, we realize that the reason why we feel anxious isn’t that we are in danger, but because our subconscious got triggered into self-defense mode. There are five common mistakes we make when dealing with our anxiety that may make it worse. When I was dealing with anxiety, I made all of them. At the time, I wished there was someone to guide me. In this episode, I share these five mistakes, and how you can easily avoid them to accelerate your healing.

    "Do you remember how electrical currents and ‘unseen waves’ were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy." -- Albert Einstein Emotional health, is one of the areas that cause more head-scratching than certainty. One of the most fiercely discussed topics is whether feelings such as anxiety or sadness are created by our mind or created by biochemical changes in our brain. Medical research has mainly focused on a physiological solution to emotional problems. But what came first—the chicken or the egg? Are neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain the root cause of fear and anxiety, or are they just a biochemical symptom of consciousness-created emotions? And what if there is another explanation for what causes our emotions – an explanation that potentially changes our entire view on health and well-being?

Yet when despite our greatest efforts we dont succeed, letting go and surrendering can be the bravest and wisest choice we can make. Surrender isnt defeat, giving up or powerlessness. To surrender is choose acceptance over resistance, appreciation over expectations and flexibility over foolishness.

Since we have neither a vaccine, nor a specific treatment for the coronavirus, and our medical facilities are completely overwhelmed, we need to rely more than ever on our own innate abilities to heal and stay well. Most of us know that for our immune defenses to work at optimal level, we need to stay hydrated, get enough sleep, eat a well-balanced diet, as well as take some supplements. Yet, there is also an additional way to activate our immune system, which is through our mind-body connection. Join me this Thursday, April 2nd, on Empowerment Radio, and learn how you can use your mind to boost your natural defenses, while staying calm and centered during this most turbulent time.

    With the coronavirus epidemic dominating the news and the upcoming election just around the corner, for many people, the list of things to worry about just keeps getting longer. Do you spend more time worrying about the future than enjoying the present moment? Or, do you try hard to ignore your emotions, because they may only distract you from making sure that all your obligations and expectations are met? In my practice, I often hear my clients lament that they spend most of their time either on an emotional roller-coaster, or checked-out on auto-pilot mode, going through the motions while the years are passing by them more and more quickly. Yet, neither worry or anxiety, nor living solely in our heads will make our lives more peaceful or fulling. I just came back from our 12thtransformational journey to Egypt, which my wife, Danielle, and I have co-lead since 2002. One of the phenomena of these journeys is that each day is filled with so much joy and meaning, 2 weeksseem like a month. This time, I was asking myself, what are the secrets that make this time so much more meaningful and fulfilling? And how can we integrate those secrets into our day-to-day lives? The answer is practicingheartfulness, which is the heart-centered extension of mindfulness. Join me this Thursday March 5th on Empowerment Radio and learn the 5 secrets to heartfulness, so that you can bring more peace and fulfillment into your life.
