On October 26, 2023, 23-year-old Michelle Arnold was picked up at her home in Maple Heights, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, and dropped off at her girlfriend's apartment just a few miles away in Warrensville Heights. In the days that followed, those close to Michelle became concerned when they hadn't heard from her and couldn't reach her by phone.

My guest today is Dr. Natalie Dyer, PhD, Research Scientist with Connor Whole Health at University Hospitals, Warrensville Heights, OH and President of the Center for Reiki Research. She has published many scientific papers and book chapters on postmaterialist science, psychedelics, and the therapeutic effects of integrative medicine practices, including Reiki, yoga, acupuncture, and mindfulness, and is co-editor of the book Expanding Science: Visions of a Postmaterialist Paradigm and the forthcoming book Infinite Percepton: The Power of Psychedelics for Global Transformation. Natalie is also an energy medicine practitioner and teacher. Her passion is in understanding and addressing mental and physical health from a psychospiritual perspective. She lives in the woods on the east coast of Canada with her husband, artist Louis Dyer and their freshly minted three-months-old daughter.I asked Natalie to explain the term post-materialism science? Natalie  said that it signifies a new age in science, where we move beyond the limitations of the materialist paradigm, which states that everything can be reduced to matter, including consciousness.  Many scientists and theologians believe that matter emerges from consciousness instead of  the other way around. Post-materialism scientists adopt the findings of quantum mechanics, and acknowledge that that the mind affects measurements of various experiments in physics. It doesn't exclude materialism. Since Natalie's next book is about psychedelics, I wondered what role do psychedelics play in treating people with mental distress. The usual approach taken is by way of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy in a setting where there's a therapist who has been trained in administering psychedelics who guides the individual to step outside of their normal operating ego self, and to view their whole life, including what led to, and what keeps the depression going through this shift outside of the normal, mundane day to day thinking process. The psychedelics can show them, how their depression developed, and how they're keeping it going with their thoughts and their beliefs. So that they get is this chance to step outside of the normal narrative of their life. And that can cause a profound shift. There can be a scary kind of loss of control, when there's that ego death, where you're kind of stepping outside of your normal function of your mental awareness. That's where the therapist comes, reassuring the person that it's ok, that they are safe to continue. Then hopefully, the therapist can facilitate  integration  to take place and make changes based on what was discovered.What does a shamanic Reiki master, like her, do? “Reiki is a biofeedback therapy. It's 100 years old at this point, but it's based on practices that go back 1000s of years, like Chi Gong, for example. And the idea is that anytime we have disease in the body, or we're unwell, there's an imbalance in our lifeforce energy. So that's called many different things, chi, prana. Spirit. So that's the basis for these practices.”“Reiki works to bring balance back to that energy system and hoping that the physical system corresponds with that shift. So you learn to tap into the intention of channeling this energy, which is infinite and everywhere. That's the idea. And you either give this energy to yourself, so you're just kind of bringing this energy through into your body, or you give it to another person. ““What I found when I started doing Reiki was really experiencing theIf you liked this podcast please tell your friends about it, subscribe to this podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and/or write a brief note on apple podcasts, check out my blogs on Psychology Today at https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/contributors/thomas-r-verny-md

Nakia Jones always wanted to be a productive member in her neighborhood and was drawn to a career where she could both “protect and serve”. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio and studied criminal justice at Wilberforce University with the intention of becoming a prosecuting attorney .In 1999 Officer Jones joined the Highland Hills Police Department and in 2002 she was sworn in as the first African American female officer for the City of Warrensville Heights where she also lived.She held that position as the Senior Response Officer until 2017.   After the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling in 2016 she posted a passionate video on Facebook responding to the shootings as a mother, an African American ad a police officer. Little did she know, what she thought was a personal post for friends and family would go viral. Within 24 hours her video had been viewed more than 1.2 million times with nearly 80,000 shares and the views continued to climb. Her video, which lasts more than seven minutes, included calling out any officers who may have racial problems continues to be watched three years later. Officer Jones talks about the contradictions between living as an African American woman and mother while walking the “Blue” line as a police officer.

There are major concerns about attempts being made around the country to suppress the black vote along with other non-white populations. This is especially true in urban areas and in the South. Polling places have been closed in some areas and voting machines have been limited thereby creating long lines of potential voters. These suppression attempts are teamed with President Donald Trump’s attacks on mail-in voting to raise doubts about the sanctity and security of our Presidential Election. Congresswoman Marcia Fudge has studied these issues in-depth and chairs the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Elections. She and several of her colleagues are working feverishly to stem this tide but time is running short for this upcoming election. She has been working on a new Voting Rights Act that improves the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that was gutted by the United States Supreme Court in 2013. Congresswoman Fudge also has championed the Vote SAFE Act which promotes voter security and provides $3.6 billion in funding to help states conduct safe and secure elections. She claims that President Trump has “systematically destroyed the trust and confidence in our election system” and that must stop, she adds. The Congresswoman knows that major election changes are unlikely prior to this Presidential Election. Therefore, she urges all people, but especially African Americans and other people of color to do everything possible to vote and make sure their vote counts. She highlights that this election is so important to create change that will allow federal legislation to pass to protect voting for all people in the future. Congresswoman Fudge joined Congress in 2008. Before that she was the first black and the first woman mayor of Warrensville Heights, Ohio and she also worked in the Cuyahoga County Prosecutors Office.

Special Guest Officer Nakia Jones. Prayer by Mother Joan Johnson “THE TRUTH DIVIDED” Officer Nakia Jones Being called for a time such as this, Officer Nakia Jones’ passionate and heartfelt outcry over the death of Alton Sterling and other young African American males went viral and took the nation by storm. As seen on BET, The Roland Martin Show, The Tom Joyner Show and other media outlets across the country, Officer Jones has been vocal about her outrage over the actions taken by some of her fellow men in blue. This life altering experience, inspired Officer Jones to write her book “The Truth Divided”, which was released in April of 2018. Born in Cleveland Ohio, Officer Jones is the oldest of her siblings. In 1990 she graduated from Shaw High School and attended Wilberforce University. She chose Criminal Justice as her major because she was aspiring to become a prosecuting attorney. However, in 1996 she chose a different career path and in September of that year she was sworn in as a Police Officer for the City of East Cleveland. Ironically, this was the same city in which she lived and graduated from high school. Officer Jones always wanted to be a productive member in her neighborhood. In 1999 Officer Jones joined the Highland Hills Police Department and in 2002 she was sworn in as the first African American female officer for the City of Warrensville Heights. She held that position as the Senior Response Officer until 2017. Officer Jones not only worked for the City of Warrensville Heights, but she also lived in the city. She is an active member of her community and volunteers for career day throughout the district. On many occasions, Officer Jones sat with Juveniles and their families, while off duty, to help resolve conflict. Officer Jones’ fervent plea over the death of Alton Sterling shook the nation. As her words resounded from coast to coast, it became clear that her life would never be the same. She has already released her book, “The Truth Divided” and is now considering authoring a follow up book, as her journey for justice continues. Officer Jones wants to leave a positive mark on the world. She believes that if you want change it starts with the person you look at every day in the mirror; if you want change you must be that change. A strong woman of faith, Officer Jones is also a well-known Gospel Play write in Cleveland Ohio. She believes that through her gospel plays she can help restore hope and change lives one gospel play at a time. If you ask Officer Jones about a quote that describes her, she would say “I am my sister and my brother’s keeper”. She believes that with a little compassion and unselfishness we all can make a difference and can change the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/preachlafleur/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/preachlafleur/support

"I had to be the best, no matter where the work was coming from." This conversation follows Mr. Dillard's intense journey as a business owner. His first exposure to entrepreneurialism came when he worked in a bank and found himself paying close attention to those who worked as entrepreneurs. He drew on his hardwired mentality as a competitive athlete to drive his success, something he quickly experienced in advertising sales for the CBS affiliate WOIO-Channel 19 early in his career. He shares the challenges an athlete feels in replacing the high that sports deliver. "That never goes away." He also discusses his franchise business which provides opportunities for other to become entrepreneurs. About 80% of those owners have other full time jobs, so this becomes a meaningful source of supplemental income. Entry starts at $950 and requires a 5-week training program at his office in Warrensville Heights. I hate to give away too much here, but Mr. Dillard made some powerful points, like the following: "I have an affinity for helping African American males see their future. When I was 18 years old, on my way to an Ivy League school (Cornell), while being all-state in two sports, I had never met a black business owner or doctor, attorney or dentist. Never had a black teacher. Obviously, there's a problem with that. So, I was like everyone else, I wanted to be a professional basketball player. That's the only thing I saw on TV. That's not a good thing. So that's why I give back." Please dive into his story and surface with a real appreciation for the work he is doing in the community.

Mr. Heinen discloses the story of how the family business got started which largely related to his grandfather Joseph Heinen's visionary abilities, his independent thinking and his willingness to take risks. He shares that Joseph knew the extension of I-480 would be arriving at some point which made Warrensville Heights a very attractive location so that he could more easily deliver supplies to stores on the west side. Mr. Heinen also discusses how the business was driven from it its earliest days by an interest in dealing directly with suppliers, thereby circumventing wholesalers when possible which permitted a price advantage that was passed along to customers. Items could be bought in bulk and stored, too, with the company's tremendous warehouse capacity. He explains how this also allowed the company to control its own destiny. He also explores the company's incorporation of private label products, including its Two Brothers line with its logo inspired by Picasso's style. He reveals the exponential growth in prepared foods, with the chain being one the national leaders in this aspect of sales. Convenience is a big part of today's lifestyles, and the store has positioned itself to provide healthy options...while eliminating the time and dishes required to put dinner on the table. Waste prevention is another factor - consumers buy as needed, and it solves lots of problems, he explains. Food delivery is another channel that is opening up, with industry experts predicting that 25% of all food will be acquired through this method by 2025. Enjoy a window into this business which has a big footprint in Warrensville Heights and makes a huge impact on lives throughout the area.

This conversation explores how Mr. Doss, a Detroit native of humble origins, transitioned out of corporate America after achieving great success with General Motors in Southfield, Michigan. He details how, in 2010, the doors opened at his franchise in Harvard Park, near the corner of Harvard and Richmond Road in Warrensville Heights. His location leads the market in Northeast Ohio in terms of retail sales, a significant achievement in and of itself, but accomplished while having the smallest stand-alone structure in the area. When total sales are considered, including outside sales and catering, the franchise ranked #2 in 2017, another monumental accomplishment.

This conversation explores the creation of the $9 million Warrensville Heights branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library. It was the first new construction project that was part of a $110 million capital improvement program to build new branches across the county. There was great need for a new facility in Warrensville Heights and there was tremendous support for it from across the city, including residents, city council members and city hall staff. "The old branch looked like a bunker and felt like a bunker," she said. She discusses the new role that libraries are playing in patrons' lives, with the emphasis now being less about the circulation of materials and more about what services can be provided. As a result, the branch has seen its participation numbers rise significantly from all ages groups.

She is clearly one of the greatest femaleathletes of all time. We also recognize her confident voice in calling for social justice. https://youtu.be/wX5gs97QuZg

Law and banking in one podcast. Take deep breaths lest your racing heart burst in your chest. You think I'm joking. Probably because you don't know Mehrsa Baradaran. But then, you probably do, because everyone does. We talk about, among other things, how one should say “Mehrsa,” what banking is, It’s a Wonderful Life, how banks are subsidized and regulated, how 40 percent of the country doesn’t really bank or at least “underbanks,” and payday lenders. Christian does not call Joe “Adam Smith.” Mehrsa defends banking at the post office (dubbed by one banking industry exec “the worst idea since the Ford Edsel”). From the bank bailouts to moral hazard to the the precarious financial position of the working poor, we cover a lot of ground. And, naturally, speed traps. (Update 11/24/2018: Christian here. A listener got in touch with some very thoughtful criticism of our discussion during the intro. Talking about a gendered list, I casually raised switching genders to get on this list, in a way that the listener perceived as making a joke of transgender people. It pains me that this discussion would hurt anyone. I’m very sorry. Although it has been a long time since this conversation, I know my intent was to poke a little fun at the gendered nature of the list, though I winced at my ham-fisted mention of reassignment surgery. I hope it’s a sign of progress that I don’t believe the conversation would be the same today as it was then. But we feel strongly that retroactively editing the show should be reserved for truly exceptional situations, not to save face.)
