 Massapequa ,Long Island makes sure its high school students know that mindfulness is important. High School English teacher, Lisa Davi proves in all she does that mindfulness matters. Lisa has developed and implemented a high school English elective course, to help students learn to love themselves and go your own way.  What's up everyone? Welcome to episode two hundred four of Above Ground Podcast. This week we talk mindfulness, Don Miquel Ruiz and The Four Agreements, High School English and how we can learn to connect and stay connected to ourselves.  Lisa's inspired idea sprouted when she started to notice a shift in students levels of anxiety, overwhelm and loneliness. Inspired by Tim O'Brien's, The Things They Carried, Lisa proposed the question to her tenth grade pre -AP class of what do you carry everyday? Then the second day she asked what do you carry mentally and emotionally?  This assignment was issued for three years and Lisa was noticing a difficult trend to ignore, our teens were hurting. It was being exacerbated every year by culture, social media  and our unwillingness to change the way educate our adolescents. In a world that is on hyper speed and it's harder to compete on every level, we as parents have an important role to play. We have to acknowledge and fix our shit. We owe it to our children and the world.  The foundation of Lisa's Mindfulness Matters class is The Four Agreements by Don Miquel Ruiz. The district even goes as far as providing the students who enroll in this class their own copy. In turn, they take it out and spread it to parent, grand-parent, caregiver and society.  Into the Magic Shop written by Dr. James R. Doty,  Rhonda Byrnes book The Secret, which is about the Law of Attraction, and Ruiz's sequel, The Fifth Agreement round out the reading list for her English elective. An elective that not only is making the school district notice. CBS 2 Long Island News recently spotlighted the class on a broadcast and is bringing attention to this young but hopeful and needed program to be picked up District wide.  Lisa Davi is a true change agent exemplifying Gandhi's words of, be the change you wish to see.

Twenty-five years, a quarter of a century. How much can be accomplished in that amount of time? As they say, time flies when you're having fun. Twenty-five years ago today, Ernie Manouse joined Houston Public Media. And you've allowed him into your lives and homes ever since. Today, on this “Erniversary,” join us as we reminisce about the last 25 years -- from Channel 8 to Houston Public Media ... from InnerVIEWS to Manor of Speaking ... and now Town Square. Matt Harab has an "investigative piece" on Who is Ernie Manouse? You'll hear from Ernie's friends, colleagues and past celebrity interviewees, including Barbara Taylor Bradford, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, Lyle Lovett, Nana Mouskouri, Suze Orman, former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, Lisa Shumate and others. Then, Sunny 99.1's Dana Tyson reminisces about Ernie's past shows, Weeknight Edition and Manor of Speaking, with his co-hosts and on-air colleagues Doris Childress, Doug Mueller and Luke Wrobel. In the third segment, producers Catherine Lu and Brenda Valdivia take calls from listeners who share their memories of watching and listening to Ernie over the years. Plus, we hear Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner's proclamation of May 21, 2021 as "Ernie Manouse Day." Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues. Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.

The always entertaining television and radio personality Ernie Manouse of Houston Public Media is my guest this week - and with his many broadcast stories, he really is 'King of the Houston Airwaves'! The multiple Emmy Award winning broadcaster talks about his new show on Houston Public Media called 'Town Square with Ernie Manouse' - a program developed as a result of COVID 19; his 15 year run with television program 'InnerVIEWS with Ernie Manouse'; along with a few interesting backstories from his very successful nationally syndicated Downton Abbey inspired talk show 'Manor of Speaking'. He also discusses what he brings to the creative process (including his own personal method of interviewing); his ongoing stage gig with actor Al Pacino; how a large shirt and a paper clip brought him national fame as a co-host with finance expert Suze Orman, and why a small reel to reel tape recorder started his love of show business. Tune in and enjoy!

Today on the Naturally Inspired Podcast Sean Stone is joining us. Sean Stone is a film maker, media host, author, actor, poet, speaker and above all truth seeker and spiritual activist. He began his spiritual quest at 10 years old when his father Oliver Stone began exposing him to different world views through travel, visiting 40 countries by the time he was in his 20's. Visiting places like Tibet, Nepal and India provided a stark contrast to the Hollywood film sets he experienced as a child actor in films like JFK, Natural Born Killers and The Doors. Sean's love for history led him to Princeton and then to Oxford. His senior thesis on "Modern History Of The New World Order" is available on Amazon. Whether it's his newest book "Ephemeral Shades Of Time", his documentary film "Hollywood D.C." or his "InnerViews" podcast on Vokal, Sean's persistent pursuit to discover truth is apparent.

I am excited to welcome you to this broadcast in which I share my recent conversation with Dick Larson, a volunteer for the organization located in Berkeley California called Share International, a worldwide network of individuals and groups whose purpose is to make known the fact that Maitreya―the World Teacher for the coming age―and his group, the Masters of Wisdom, are now among us, emerging into the public arena―gradually, so as not to infringe human free will.  Dick is a counselor with a background in education who addresses the issues of the Ageless Wisdom Teachings, meditation, and practical spirituality in everyday life. He has been a guest on radio talk shows nationwide, co-hosted a radio program, and produced and hosted a series of public access television shows that currently air around the nation. In these difficult times, he sees great hope in this new cosmic cycle of life on planet Earth and tries to help others see the same.  Thank you for your interest in the Edge!
