Join us for a thought experiment that points our conversation directly toward the profound jewels of awareness, in territory that special guest Joel Drazner has made his life's passion and professional purpose. Most people spend enormous amounts of energy and effort bouncing stressfully among perception, sensation and thoughts. Why? We are seeking to reduce pain and suffering for ourselves and those we love. This episode is a welcome interruption of the frustration that such bouncing builds, despite our moments of success, when using up so much strength and willpower drains us of joy and peace. Temporary and partial relief are not enough, as the next challenge rushes in to overtake us once more. Joel has learned, and teaches, how to step away from that draining circle of entrapment.  In Joel's work as a Resilience Coach, he offers everyone a deceptively simple technique he has taught to countless people, and uses routinely himself. It does not require “experience” to use, and yields an immediate and profound impact on anyone who opens themselves to a new world of non-duality, firmed rooted in unconditional love. With self-deference and respect for anyone who chooses to listen, Joel offers true gems in this conversation.

What is being human? Zak Lioutas has taught herself, with vibrant inner spiritual guidance, to see the light in adversity, and to be grounded in heart and soul, so she can fly.  She learned that words can stop you from living fully, just as when her mother told her from childhood to be free like a bird, yet held her so tightly so that she felt completely caged. Zak experienced depression from the inside out, not just once, but far too many times in cycles, requiring her to learn so much more than she could know was needed to fully transform that repetitive cycle.  She talks abut the two-by-four wake-up calls in her life when lessons came hard. Yet the whispers inside never deserted her, and she shares that wisdom with us in this conversation.  Today, people seek her out to teach them; she generously shows them not her way, but the openings available to their find their way. When the energy of Earth called her, saying “Please come in for a landing…” she fought it, and then finally accepted that call. It brought her the gift of learning how to become one with everything, no matter whether suffering or light, and Zak gained an even more wondrous gift: authenticity.  You are invited to hear from a powerful soul, Zak, who's earned her Wows! • • • In this episode: Zak shares a “Wow”  “You are stronger than you will ever recognize.” Zak shares a “Whisper”  “Recognizing the depth of my spirits willpower to rise from the ashes and tap deeper into my gifts.”  • • • We'd love to hear from you.

Self hypnosis is a natural state, as the masterful Britt Sheflin, Master Hypnotist and Certified Hypnotherapist, reminds us in this free-flowing conversation. We spend the early part of our childhood (until about age 8) enjoying learning and the mindset of discovery every day.  She explains how, as we grow, new confining filters fit themselves over us and block so much from our awareness, all in the interest of automatic behaviors that seem to make life efficient. Efficient, but dull. And too often full of unsolvable fears or even phobias that settle in upon us.  Britt opens a fresh window for everyone to more clearly see these confining patterns and what we can do to invite more ‘Shift” into our lives.  Enjoy the ease with which Britt shares her own discoveries, and what she knows works, to give people access to the freedom and spontaneity that allows for a fulfilling life!  • • • In this episode: Britt shares a “Wow”  “The moment I first realized that I had the ability to help other people change their lives for the better. It was my very first client during my internship, and I helped remove a debilitating, irrational fear. There's nothing better than helping someone find that freedom!” Britt shares a “Whisper”  “My first Whisper in regards to hypnosis and the mind/body connection was when I was a kid with severe asthma, and realized that I could stop or prevent an attack with the power of my own mind. ” • • • Episode Quote: “My personal mission is to provide channels for people of all income levels to receive the benefits of hypnotherapy, even if they cannot afford one-on-one sessions. ” — Britt Sheflin Listeners please  note: Britt fulfills on this mission by offering creating affordable DIY hypnosis kits tailored to each person's suggestibility type, where they receive an instructional e-booklet with cognitive tools, as well as hypnosis session recordings, and unlimited email support during their process of change.  www.brittsheflin.com • • • About my special guest: As a small child, Britt would delve so deeply into her private fantasy land (self-hypnosis), that she would be fully immersed in whole worlds that were rich and wonderful layers to add to her daily experience of life. It was these journeys where she first discovered that imagination was a powerful tool, not only for entertainment, but for creating desired change.  In young adulthood, Britt made those far-fetched childhood fantasies reality, by moving to Alaska. There she learned about homesteading, permaculture, traveling the world, treehouses, and dance performance. Her performance career landed her in Las Vegas, where she briefly worked in a hypnosis show, and became fascinated with how powerful hypnosis is. After moving to Los Angeles to continue performing and teaching dance, Britt developed a successful career as a private chef and a burgeoning filmmaker. Shortly thereafter, Britt met her wonderful partner and future father of their child.  She decided to use her self-hypnosis skills for her own labor and delivery. It resulted in a very peaceful, and incredibly comfortable childbirth that inspired her to study hypnosis in a professional capacity. In 2017, Britt  went through the excellent Internship Program at HMI in Tarzana, California. Since then, Britt has become a Master Hypnotist, Certified Hypnotherapist, member of the American Hypnosis Association, and the Hypnotherapist's Union, Local 472. Britt continues her lifelong studies of hypnosis through continuing education programs, and earning supplemental certifications, as well as by sharing her knowledge with others through workshops and presentations. Britt looks forward to continuing her hypnotherapy journey, and sharing her unique ability to help her clients make shift happen. • • • We'd love to hear from you.

As a child, Suzzy found pleasure in reading and daydreaming of beautiful dresses, and watching movies, fascinated by the costumes. Suzzy's mother was the daughter of a fine seamstress, and the granddaughter of a German master tailor, and she happily taught avid young student Suzzy.

Our special Season 1.5 of Wow Whispering was recorded just before the pandemic overtook us all. In this brief introduction, I tease the expertise of my guest and offer some food for thought. Nowadays, we are learning new ways to stay connected while social distancing, and this series of conversations is full of variety, featuring guests from many walks of life, who will open your heart, stretch your thinking, and give you new avenues of inspiration to explore.

In this episode, we celebrate the announcement of a new galactic discovery on Earth Day 2019. A Wow! confirmed... "We thought that every galaxy had dark matter and that dark matter is how a galaxy begins," said Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, lead researcher of the Hubble observations. "This invisible, mysterious substance is the most dominant aspect of any galaxy. So finding a galaxy without it is unexpected. It challenges the standard ideas of how we think galaxies work, and it shows that dark matter is real: it has its own separate existence apart from other components of galaxies. This result also suggests that there may be more than one way to form a galaxy.” Finding one such galaxy, known as “NGC 1052-DF2” is quite amazing. Yet today, the news is peppered with confirmations that a second such galaxy “DF4” has now been sufficiently studied to credibly deem it to have no dark matter, too. How might this matter to us here on Earth, as we celebrate the 50th Earth Day across the planet? We're here to chat and consider more than just one day's concerns. New reports of interest: NASA  Dark Matter Goes Missing in Oddball Galaxy EarthSky  Astronomers find 2nd galaxy lacking dark matter Wired  Two Unusual Galaxies Shake Up The Dark Matter Debate, Again Business Insider  Astronomers just found a 2nd galaxy containing no dark matter — and it may change everything we knew about how galaxies are formed. About Earth Day About this series: Humanity has always turned its gaze upward, and as our technology gets exponentially more sophisticated, we are still mesmerized by the The Skies Above. Our attention spans mythology to modern times, and space travel, both physical and virtual in the here and now; at once rich in symbolism, while teeming with yet undiscovered scientific data that beckons us onward. Your Wow Whispering host Diane has been fascinated since childhood with all things skyward, as we expand our podcast series to The Skies Above. In this series we honor two traditions which were originally united as one: Astrology and Astronomy. Both derive purpose from seeking to understand the nature of life through explorations beyond Earth. From symbolism to science, mythology to modernity, humanity wants to know more, ever more, about our place in the cosmos.

In this episode, we celebrate the first ever photo of a Black Hole, M87 by name, newly published on April 10, 2017. Wow!!! This feat took 8 radio telescopes, over 200 researchers, more than 10 years and some super precise atomic clocks were all it took to produce this first ever image of poetically named massive black hole M87. Released today after 2 years of processing and studying the data on what is 3 millions times Earth's size and 500 million trillion km away from us. But what does it mean to see an iconic image for the first time? We're here to chat about this. CNN report link. BBC report link. Kudos to Dr. Bouman. Indeed, that's Dr. Katie Bouman who created this pioneering image. “Take your rightful seat in history, Dr. Bouman,” the congresswoman (AO-C) tweeted. ”Congratulations and thank you for your enormous contribution to the advancements of science and mankind.” About this series: Humanity has always turned its gaze upward, and as our technology gets exponentially more sophisticated, we are still mesmerized by the The Skies Above.

How Far Is Far? Your Wow Whispering host Diane has been fascinated since childhood with all things skyward, and today we expand upon our new podcast series, The Skies Above. In this series we honor two traditions which were originally united as one: Astrology and Astronomy. Both derive purpose from seeking to understand the nature of life through explorations beyond Earth. From symbolism to science, humanity want to know more, ever more, about our place in the cosmos. Today, we’ve got the inventions that lets us leap ahead, as science has allowed us to observe, measure and calculate what’s in our skies, and then to travel beyond what the earliest scientists may ever have dreamed was possible. Links to what we highlight in today’s podcast includes: (1) Who invented the telescope? Jacob Metius from The Netherlands started it all around 1600. Hans Lipperhey also Dutch, was hired by the Hague to refine it. Galileo Galilei, an Italian professor and experimenter at the University of Padua, was the third proponent of this new tool, and as a professor, spread the fame and refinements possible with this marvelous new tool, so he is often mis-credited with the original invention. https://history.aip.org/exhibits/cosmology/tools/tools-first-telescopes.htm The 10 biggest telescopes in our modern world are listed here. The Gran Telescopio Canaria (CTC) in Spain is 34 feet (10.,4 meters) across, an amazing feat. https://www.space.com/14075-10-biggest-telescopes-earth-comparison.html (2) How far is far? Consider the Light-Year. The light-year is a measure of distance, not time. It is the total distance that a beam of light, moving in a straight line, travels in one year. To obtain an idea of the size of a light-year, take the circumference of the earth (24,900 miles), lay it out in a straight line, multiply the length of the line by 7.5 (the corresponding distance is one light-second), then place 31.6 million similar lines end to end. The resulting distance is almost 6 trillion (6,000,000,000,000) miles! https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/Numbers/Math/Mathematical_Thinking/how_long_is_a_light_year.htm I learned in school that light travels at 186,000 mile per second, and that nothing travels faster than light. Do you believe that? Listen in for what we reveal about that statement in the podcast! (3) Are “computers” people or machines? A surprising answer to that lies at the heart of the fascinating movie “Hidden Figures” (2015, available on Apple’s iTunes and Amazon Prime), which tells the story of early NASA efforts and the pioneering contributions made by three gifted black women: Katherine Goble Johnson, mathematician Dorothy Vaughan, mathematician and supervisor Mary Jackson, mathematician and engineer. .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  Our Podcast PSA for this episode highlights two organizations.

Your host Diane has been fascinated since childhood with all things skyward, and today we briefly introduce a new segment feature on our podcast, The Skies Above. We will honor two traditions which were originally united as one: Astrology and Astronomy. Both derive purpose from seeking to understand the nature of life through explorations above and beyond Earth. Humanity is often mesmerized by our local Sun and Moon, the planets we can see with the naked eye, those we later learned inhabit our solar system (thanks to the invention of the telescope) and of course stars, constellations, and heavenly bodies of all sorts, including our modern astronauts and spacecraft vehicles. NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The word Aeronautics derives from the Greek words for "air" and "to sail.”  Perhaps NASA was thinking of the Astrological sign Aquarius, whose constellation symbolizes a sky traveler pouring energy out into the cosmos. Aquarius is known for invention, innovation, outside-the-box thinking, and ideas. NCGR stands for the National Council for Geocosmic Research, dedicated to h the highest standards of astrological education and professional skills for professional astrologers.  With left brain science, and right brain poetic symbolism, we human beings carry on ancient traditions and a modern calling to discover, learn, test, understand, and interpret life in the universe through endless inquiry and exploration. Join us as we expand this special Wow Whispering series with musings, conversations, and guests drawn from both Astrology and Astronomy, and all they'll reflect of our insatiable human appetite for cosmic communication. .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  Our Podcast PSA for this episode highlights two organizations. ...

Sending Humans Out into Solar System: Moon to Mars Building on this growing scientific knowledge of our solar system, NASA is developing the most advanced rocket and spacecraft to lead the next steps of human exploration farther into space than we have ever traveled before.  International Space Station Humans are already living and working off the Earth in the one-of-a kind research laboratory in microgravity. The International Space Station serves as a blueprint for global cooperation and scientific advancements, a destination for growing a commercial marketplace in low-Earth orbit, and a test bed for demonstrating new technologies. Research on the station is the springboard to NASA’s next great leap in exploration, sending humans into deep space More to come in the areas of Flight, Space tech and Earth studies!
