You may be suffering from the same autoimmune disorder that affects 14 million people in the United States alone.

I know from quite a few of you giving me input and feedback on social media, or via emails, that you feel conventional medicine is reactive and disease oriented and that little focus is put on trying to find and heal the underlying cause of an issue.I personally feel that much of that disappointment is justified and at the same time I feel deep gratitude for having the option to seek and get medical treatment in case of say, an accident or a horrible infection. I have deep respect for the medical professionals who work hard every day, often at a high price to their own physical and mental health, to help others.I do believe it is our system that needs an overhaul and I also believe that an ideal medical system integrates the approach of holistic medicine and what we call conventional medicine. Preventing disease and supporting optimal health in the first place and addressing health issues as needed with targeted medical interventions.Our guest today, Dr. Brooke Stuart is a holistic doctor in private practice, where she specializes in taking a holistic approach to mental health, physical health and high performance through a combination of holistic counseling and functional medicine. She is also the founder and president of Let Go &amp; Grow International.According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, “Functional Medicine is a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease.”Functional medicine uses the best of ancient practices and modern modalities and doctors, amongst other, recommend supplements, cutting edge technological devices and tests, as well as mindset techniques, diet, and lifestyle changes. Based on this, Dr. Brooke develops a personalized treatment plan for each patient.&nbsp;&nbsp;She also collaborates with conventional doctors regarding certain medications or tests when necessary. For Dr. Brooke, functional medicine is not in competition with other types of medicine. In this episode she will give us an overview of her practice and most successful approaches to healing the whole human.In this episode with Dr. Brooke, you'll discover:-What exactly is functional medicine?...04:15-Why we're conditioned to repress our "authentic self" and how to begin resetting this energetic balance...11:15-"Fake it til you make it" is a real phenomenon!...16:45-The pillars of resetting the mind and body in Dr. Brooke's practice...19:30-What is andropause and how men's hormones change as they age...26:44-What happens physiologically, specifically for females, when Vitamin C is injected into the body...33:20-Why you should let go of what's not working vs. trying yet another diet, protocol, etc. to cure your ills...37:00-How our perception of our food changes its effects on our body and health...42:30-How to invite empowering thought patterns regarding your food, environment, etc...47:30-A personal practice that elevates Dr. Brooke's life...51:10-And much more....Resources mentioned:&nbsp;Dr. Brooke's websiteLet Go &amp; GrowBooks written by Dr. BrookeThe Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce LiptonConnect with the guest:"The heart based practice is something that I'm in a unique position to appreciate where we're talking to these amazing people.

Throughout the ages philosophers and sages, seekers and spiritual leaders, artists and scientists have sought and in a few instances also taught how to connect with the divine. There are different ways to do so and a very powerful one is also one that has been suppressed in many cultures and times: I am talking about the concept and expression of Eros.Eros is much more than sexual love or desire.&nbsp;Eros is a bridge to the sublime and can help us achieve transcendence. And, it is also intimately tied to the power of feminine sexuality, which, coincidentally, also has been suppressed for millenia.Today's guest, Dr. Joanna Kujawa has gone on a quest to unveil the mystery and history of Eros and find an answer to some intriguing questions in her book The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene And The Goddesses Of Eros And Secret Knowledge.Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? And if so, why were they pushed to the shadows and demeaned as harlots? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings?&nbsp;Looking into esoteric traditions that celebrated the Goddess and her art of sexual alchemy, Dr. Kujawa set out on a detective journey and discovered that Mary Magdalene stands at the center of this investigation.And&nbsp;whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa's findings about the archetype of&nbsp;The Other Goddess,&nbsp;as&nbsp;the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality are not only fascinating, but have the potential to redefine how we think and how we express spiritually and sexually.In this episode with Dr. Kujawa, you'll discover:-What is a "spiritual detective"?...03:45-How Dr. Kujawa discovered her femininity by revering Mary Magdalene...08:33-Why women are groomed to suppress the power of their sexual energy...13:40-Why we're fed the lie that the sensual element of sex is the only element there is...17:01-The difference between Eros and sexuality...19:45-The differences between the three primary tantras...26:24-Who was Mary Magdalene, and why is she significant in history?...33:40-Why Joanna believes Mary Magdalene was the primary disciple of Jesus...43:20-The resurfacing of the lineage of goddesses in the public psyche...49:00-How to embrace the "divine femininity" in the modern age...1:00:30-And much more!Resources mentioned:WEBSITEJoanna's personal websiteBOOKThe Other GoddessGuest's social handles:LinkedInFacebookDr Joanna&nbsp;Kujawa&nbsp;is an author, scholar, and spiritual detective.&nbsp;She received her BA and MA from the Pontifical Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada, and her PhD from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.

There are multiple studies that have confirmed the incredible link between the health of our microbiome - the trillions of organisms that live in our digestive tract - and our likelihood of getting viral diseases like COVID-19. A lifestyle of low fiber diets, processed foods, little connection with nature and overuse of pharmaceuticals messes up the microbiome and makes us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally would be.There is a solution to this, though: our microbiome is constantly evolving, which means we can nurture it back to health if we are struggling and we can protect it and make it even stronger even when we are well and want to stay well.My guest today, Dr. Robynne Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist and author of the bestselling digestive health books&nbsp;Gutbliss:&nbsp;The Microbiome Solution, and&nbsp;The Bloat Cure.&nbsp;In her latest book,&nbsp;The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside Out,&nbsp;Dr. Chutkan shares new insights and cutting edge research about our gut and our health, as well as a practical plan for strengthening the incredible antiviral defenses located in our gut and resolving symptoms of illness.Dr. Chutkan received her bachelor's from Yale University and her medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons,&nbsp;where she also did her internship and residency and served as chief resident. She completed her fellowship in gastroenterology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Dr. Chutkan has been on the faculty at Georgetown University Hospital since 1997. In 2004 she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness, an integrative gastroenterology practice dedicated to uncovering the root cause of GI disorders.Dr. Chutkan incorporates microbial optimization, nutritional therapy, mind-body techniques, and lifestyle changes into her therapeutic approach to digestive disorders.&nbsp;Dr. Chutkan has been the medical expert on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Doctors, The Dr. Oz Show, The Megyn Kelly Show, and has her own PBS Special entitled “Gutbliss”.Today she will share with us her powerful and practical road map to strengthening the gut immune system.In this episode with Dr. Robynne Chutkan, you'll discover:-Social factors that inspired Robynne to write her latest book...04:30-Acid-blocking drugs compromise our immune system and gut health...09:06-The explanation of the gut and its role in our health...13:07-Innate and adaptive immunity within our bodies...22:05-Recommended tests to assess the health of your gut...30:30-A primer on the virome which allows billions of active viruses to coexist in harmony...38:10-First steps to take control of your gut and overall health...44:30-A "dirty" approach to using nature to optimize your health...47:30-Dr. Chutkan's best personal practice...54:50-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Chutkan's websiteThe Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside OutThis Week in Virology podcastGuest's social handles:FacebookInstagramYouTube

Many of us hope that our presence will help make the world a better place than we found it. The way we go about this is deeply rooted in personal choice. One of the most profound and impactful choices I made was to switch my diet and lifestyle to a plant based one. I turned vegetarian in&nbsp;2008&nbsp;and vegan a couple of years after. Or, to be more precise, AVAP, as my philosophy is, the acronym standing for As Vegan As Possible. I found that everything I cared most about was connected to the food choices I make. With plant based food I choose animal and planetary welfare, fairer food systems and more social justice and, as far as my own welfare is concerned, better mental, physical and spiritual health. Plant based foods help me support systems and philosophies that align with my principles. The way we eat can truly be revolutionary and evolutionary. That is why I live a plant fueled life. And today’s guest is a leading mind and heart of the vegan movement.Dr. Will Tuttle is a visionary author, spiritual activist, educator, and inspirational speaker. He has been vegan for&nbsp;over 40 years and wrote the acclaimed Amazon #1 best-seller The World Peace Diet: Eating For Spiritual Health And Social Harmony,&nbsp;published in 15 languages.

Something that is fundamental to living a fulfilled life that is rooted in joy and the full expression of our highest Self, unhindered by pain and regret, is our capacity to forgive. Others and also ourselves. When we are filled with loathing, blame, shame and condemnation, whether focused outward or inward, it cuts us off from living a life of freedom, connectedness and abundance. However, in many cases being able to forgive is not something you can simply decide on and then switch on. True forgiveness is complex, it can not be forced. But, it can be nurtured and grown.Our guest today is the world's leading expert on the scientific study of forgiveness. Dr. Everett Worthington knows forgiveness. He is&nbsp;Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University and has done clinical studies on forgiveness for over 40 years. And he has lived it, forgiving the man who murdered his mother.Dr. Worthington has published over 500 scholarly articles and 45 books on what forgiveness is and how we can become forgiving people, what the substantial cost of 'unforgiveness" is and what the profound positive effects of forgiveness are.In 2001, Dr. Worthington developed the REACH Forgiveness Practice, a method that has been tested in more than 20 controlled scientific studies and which has helped thousands of people around the world, including himself, reap the mental and physical benefits of forgiveness and heal from emotional trauma.In this conversation with Dr. Worthington, you'll discover:-Forgiveness defined in various ways...03:20-What is the current state in the science of forgiveness...05:05-Four compelling reasons to forgive...08:00-Five steps to decisional, leading to emotional, forgiveness...11:45RecallEmpathizeAltruismCommitHold on-How Dr. Worthington was forced to put his teachings on forgiveness to the ultimate test...16:16-The difference between forgiveness and acceptance...27:10-How faith informs a practice of forgiveness vs. a secular mindset...32:22-The most astounding things learned in the practice of studying forgiveness...35:40-How the cycle of retribution ceases, even in the midst of horrific injustice...41:02-Is it harder to forgive one's self, or others who have wronged us?...43:21-How do we ask for forgiveness of those who we know we have wronged?...49:10-Is there anything that is unforgivable?...54:00-Dr. Worthington's best personal practice...56:30-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Worthington's websiteMoving Forward: Six Steps to Forgiving Yourself and Breaking Free from the PastForgiving and Reconciling: Bridges to Wholeness and Hope

We live in a time where old paradigms are disintegrating and where it is profoundly important to heal what needs to be healed in ourselves and call forth our inner leaders.

"As above, so below."This paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet describes the idea that what happens in a higher realm or plane of existence also happens in a lower realm. Since the dawn of time,&nbsp;humankind has looked to the higher realms of the stars for guidance, whether for navigation of our oceans and planet, or via astrology for the navigation of our destinies.Astrology dates back to&nbsp;the 2nd millennium BC, when the Babylonians developed the first organised system of interpretation of the celestial bodies and their influence on human affairs. Until the 17th century, astrology was actually considered a scholarly tradition. Famous people of science and scholars such Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton and Carl Gustav Jung used astrology to guide their lives and work.&nbsp;Do the answers lie in the stars? Today we are welcoming a man on the show who says, yes, they do.Gahl Sasson&nbsp;is an expert astrologer, storyteller, and teacher.

With deep roots in the ancient art of Kabbalah, astrology, and psychology, Gahl helps his students and clients interpret their past and design their future in illuminating and life-changing ways.&nbsp;Gahl is a bestselling author and his first book, A Wish Can Change Your Life, has been translated into over eight languages and is endorsed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. His second work, Cosmic Navigator, has been called the essential reference guide to understanding our astrological makeup.&nbsp;Since 2018 Gahl has been publishing a yearly bestselling book on the astrology of the upcoming year. In this episode we will talk about the history of astrology, the application of it to our lives, as well as the power our names hold. And last but certainly not least, Gahl will share with us his predictions and book for 2023, which has the title Traversing the Bridge - Movement of the People.In this episode with Gahl Sasson, you'll discover:-Founding origins of astrology and why Gahl believes it is the key to a better life…03:46-The role of the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians and Greeks in promulgating the practice of astrology…10:09-Gahl’s journey into the realm of mastery of astrology…12:30-Gahl’s thoughts on the upcoming “astrological traffic jam” of 2023 and beyond…21:10-Gahl does an on the spot astrological prediction on Ariane… 28:45-Gahl’s take on time, past lives, etc…33:00-The importance of our names, why we choose our names before we’re even born, and why they are fundamentally important to our life’s story… 39:46-About the “shadow element” of our name…47:10-Gahl’s best personal practice…49:38-And much more…Resources mentioned:Cosmic Navigator websiteTraversing the Bridge - Movement of the PeopleA Wish Can Change Your LifeCosmic NavigatorGuest's social handles:FacebookInstagram<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Bx5VlrVBl_6qpLDqwBF2Q"...

We spend about one third of our lives sleeping.&nbsp;For many of us, me included, sleep is one of life's greatest pleasures. For others, falling and staying asleep and sleeping well is a constant battle.&nbsp;But what is sleep exactly, and why must we do it every night? Answering these questions are some of the biggest and most fascinating challenges biologists face today.We do know that sleep is as essential to our life and wellbeing as food and water. Sleep is the time when our body repairs itself. Sleep, or the lack of it, affects every aspect of our lives, from immunity, to hormones, to our mood and cognitive function. A lack of sleep makes us vulnerable to many chronic medical issues and affects us not only as individuals, but as a society, considering the impact of car accidents or disasters such as the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Knowing about sleep and how to optimize it could literally save your life or that of someone you love.My guest today is an authority on the neurobiology of sleep and circadian rhythms. Dr. Craig Heller is an award winning professor of biology and researcher at Stanford University and has been studying why we sleep and the ways that sleep can support physical performance.&nbsp;Dr. Heller will share with us his hypothesis about the purpose of sleep, some of his key insights about how the clock in our brain works and how to harness the power of sleep.In this episode with Dr. Heller, you'll discover:-The mystery of sleep, and why we need it so much…03:30-An overview of the relatively new study of sleep…05:45-Sleep is essential for “memory consolidation”…08:01-The body is offline, but the brain is quite active during REM sleep…09:30-Circadian rhythms, and how to optimize our internal clock…11:20-How to right the ship when your circadian rhythms get off kilter…14:45-How sleep affects cognitive function and the efficacy of the immune system…18:00-Why even blind people must be attuned to the effects of light on their circadian rhythms…22:00-Technology and therapies available to assist in quality of sleep…27:00-Primary vs secondary insomnias…31:30-The sleep pattern changes which occur throughout our lives…36:00-What can be done about PTSD and “night terrors”… 44:30-Does long haul Covid affect sleep patterns?…51:00-Healthy sleep hygiene practices…54:05-Can we enhance lucid dreaming to enhance creativity and productivity?…59:00-Dr. Heller’s best personal practices…1:04:05-And much more!Resources mentioned:Dr. Heller's Stanford University bioDr. Heller's Stanford University profileSecrets of Sleep Science: From Dreams to Disorders

Hello beautiful Superhumans. I am so happy you decided to tune in with me again. Those of you who have been listening to this podcast for a while know, this is a place where we talk about growth and transitions and exploring how&nbsp;humanity can become humanity 2.0 and how we can fulfill our highest potential in every aspect, mentally, physically and spiritually.&nbsp;I have always felt that love is at the core of what drives humanity. As I perceive it, everything is about love, the presence, or the absence of it.&nbsp;Romantic relationships are built on the foundation of love. When we look at the current discussion about defining what a relationship is, what is apparent to me is that there are so many ways to celebrate and live love and that the so-called traditional model of relationship does not work for a significant percentage of the population. When we look at divorce rates and the high numbers of individuals who live a lifestyle of serial monogamy, which not always, but likely often is an indicator of the heteronormative model not working for someone and when 49% of Millenials either have experienced or say they want to experience a non-monogamous relationship, it tells me that we need to look at the way we understand love.Are what we call traditional relationships truly traditional when we look at the history of humanity? What is the secret sauce for happy, healthy relationships?Today's guest, Effy Blue, has answers to these questions. Effy is a relationship coach and founder of Curious Fox, a community that inspires individuals to challenge the status quo in love, sex and relationships and the one-size-fits-all prescription society so far has offered us. Effy encourages and teaches us to seek and find our own expression of loving and relating, whether our love is monogamous, polyamorous, hetero, queer, asexual or whether we choose to put a label on it at all.In this episode with Effy Blue, you'll discover:-The current trends regarding monogamous relationships among the younger generations...03:30-"Traditional" relationships are a relatively new concept...06:31-Effy's process of self-discovery pertaining to infidelity and authentic relationships...11:11-Embrace your true identity by expanding your circle of influence regarding relationships...15:40-Different forms of non-monogamy...21:00-First steps to consider when you're ready to explore differing forms of relationships...26:20-Why is there such fear of the concept of "free love"?...30:00-What are the benefits of having multiple partners?...35:17-"Emotional literacy" defined...38:26-How to make time for multiple partners, not to mention yourself!...42:05-Effy's thoughts on the future of relationships...48:22-Effy's best personal practices...50:00-And much more!Resources mentioned:https://effyblue.comhttps://www.wearecuriousfoxes.comWe Are Curious Foxes podcast&nbsp;Guest's social handles:FacebookInstagram

Welcome back Superhumans, what a delight to be with you. I hope that you will find this episode as fascinating as I did, as we will be diving deeply into all things Vikings, Norse traditions, runes and magik.In the last years Vikings and their culture have become a focal point of the entertainment industry and if you are like me, you have watched all the shows and movies, many of them claiming to give an accurate depiction of Viking life and culture.My guest today is someone who actually has a deep knowledge of Vikings, far beyond the scope of pop culture.

Our mind and the way we think is the most powerful influence on our wellbeing.The vast majority of illnesses do not start in our bodies, as the old model of biology has taught in the past. Instead, we are coming to understand that it is our nervous system that reads our environment, interprets our environment and then sends control signals to our cells, which answer to these signals creating sickness or health.Today's guest, Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new biology. He is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. A cell biologist by training, Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University's School of Medicine.This research revealed that the environment, which operates via the cell membrane, controls the behavior and physiology of the cell, turning genes on and off. Dr. Lipton's discoveries challenged the established scientific view that life is controlled by genes and paved the way for one of today’s most cutting edge fields of study: the science of epigenetics, the new science of how environment and perception control genes.Dr. Lipton is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, as well as The Honeymoon Effect and Spontaneous Evolution, co-authored with Steve Bhaerman. He is a recipient of the prestigious Goi Peace Award in Japan in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.On today's episode we talk about the epigenetic revolution of science, the relationship between thoughts and reality, how our minds are programmed when we are very young, how 65% of these programs are dysfunctional and how to rewrite these programs, placebo and nocebo effects, the power of positive thoughts and how the current crisis we are collectively living through is an opportunity for evolution.You are going to leave this interview feeling empowered, inspired and perhaps also a bit daunted. Because the takeaway is that we are largely in control of our destiny.In this episode with Dr. Lipton, you'll discover:-Why our nervous system, not our genes, determines the quality of our life...04:45-We create the life we're programmed to create, for better or worse...12:45-How to assess the current programming of our life...24:54-Love versus fear as it relates to real growth and mere survival...29:05-How it is possible to change the thought habits which write our programming...34:15-Training the brain to respond to positive programming...49:23-How to inform ourselves without succumbing to the barrage of negative energy in the media...55:06-A call to the individual to exercise leadership within our communities...1:07:25-Simply watching the news weakens the immune system, and Dr. Lipton's thoughts on vax mandates...1:11:50-And much more...Resources mentioned:Bruce's websiteThe Biology of BeliefThe Honeymoon EffectSpontaneous EvolutionP.S.

We are living in times of uncertainty and great challenges. The economic systems as we know them are shaken to the core and the ecology of the entire planet is threatened due to our doing.There is the saying that a tiger can not change its stripes, meaning we can not change our essential nature. I do believe in the power and the possibility of profound change that lies within each one of us. Currently we are witnessing a dramatic shift within human consciousness in the midst of these tumultuous times. And evolve we must, if we are to remain as a viable species on a healthy planet.&nbsp;The story of today's guest is one of profound change. On the outside Adam Hall had achieved the American Dream.

Some people excel, even when things get tough in situations of uncertainty and instability. Have you ever wondered how they do this? How is it possible to succeed, no matter what the circumstances? Today's guest went on a mission to understand what separates those who succeed from those who fail and how each one of us can work on developing our full potential, in order to be the greatest version of ourselves.Rich Diviney has over 20 years of experience as a Navy SEAL Officer. He completed more than 13 overseas deployments - 11 of which were to Iraq and Afghanistan, achieved multiple leadership positions, including the Commanding Officer of a Navy SEAL Command.Rich was intimately involved in the world-renowned SEAL selection process, which whittles exceptional candidates down to a small cadre of the most elite optimal performers. But Rich was often surprised by which recruits washed out and which succeeded. Someone could have all the right skills and still fail, while recruits he might have initially dismissed would prove to be top performers. The seemingly objective criteria weren't telling him what he most needed to know: Who had what it took to be part of the world’s most elite military unit? Eventually, he cracked the code. Through years of observation, Rich learned to identify a successful recruit's core attributes, the innate traits for how a person performs as an individual and as part of a team. And this same methodology can be used by anyone in their personal or professional lives.Since his retirement in early 2017, Rich has worked as a speaker, facilitator, and consultant with the Chapman &amp; Co. Leadership Institute and Simon Sinek Inc.Rich has taught leadership and optimal performance to more than five thousand business, athletic, and military leaders from organizations such as American Airlines, the San Francisco 49ers, Zoom, and Deloitte. He is also the author of the bestselling book The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance. And today he shares his insights and strategies with us.In this episode with Rich Diviney, you'll learn:-What a "badass" really is, and Rich's personal history...03:44-The process of identifying who's got what it takes and who doesn't...09:00-Five categories of grit and successful team building...15:30-How to use narcissism as a positive attribute...20:21-Identifying the key attributes that will allow us to achieve great things...25:11-The "open gates" technique to calm down the sympathetic nervous system...31:15-The difference between discipline and self-discipline...33:50-Core attributes of success...37:40-What builds cohesion - and toxicity - in a team...41:45-The traits of the achievers who finish the grueling SEAL training...47:12-The biggest challenge of making a major life transition...53:05-Rich's best personal practice...56:00-And much more!Guest's social media handles:InstagramFacebookLinkedInResources mentioned:Rich's websiteRich's Book: The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance

Many of us believe that the culture we live in mirrors innate human nature. But today’s dominant cultures of competitive destructive detachment are rare and recent. Nearly every other culture that has ever existed during our species history over millions of years has been one of connected cooperative companionship. We evolved in cooperative bands of kin and nonkin where we were nurtured and welcomed by all members of the community. We lived together, we gathered food together, we sang together, and we danced together. We knew it would have been impossible to survive on our own. But together, we thrived.Today, we are living in a culture that goes against everything it means to be human. Our culture emphasizes toughness over tenderness, isolation instead of togetherness, even for babies. As a result, we are depressed, anxious, chronically ill, and at the bottom of every international indicator for health. We are stuck in a Cycle of Competitive Detachment where we feel disconnected from others and even ourselves, while at the same time feeling we have to compete for anything worthwhile. There is a way, not only to break this cycle, but to create a new cycle, one that reclaims our humanity and helps us heal ourselves and our culture. We can create a cycle of connected, cooperative companionship.To heal ourselves and our world, we simply must return to this way of nurturing children and communities. And today's guest TEACHES how to restore the Cycles of Connected, Cooperative Companionship.Darcia Narvaez is a Professor of Psychology Emerita at the University of Notre Dame, who has written extensively on issues of character, moral development and human flourishing and whose work encompasses the neurology of moral development, as well as the study of evolved parenting practices.Narvaez is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, the American Educational Research Association and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.Amongst other, she is the author of the books Neurobiology and the Development of Human Morality, and Restoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet Earth.She is also the founder of https://evolvednest.org, an online platform dedicated to restore human nature to its cooperative orientation, its original and "normal" human heritage.In this episode with Dr. Darcia Narvaez, you'll discover:-A bit of Dr. Darcia's backstory...05:16-A brief history of humanity, and where things went wrong...08:15-How the "Western Enlightenment" has shaped the world as we know it...12:55-Break the cycle of dis-ease with the "Evolved Nest"...17:50-How to nourish underdevelopment in the brain from childhood hardships...31:53-Nurturing a sense of "mattering" as a means of thriving in life...37:27-Connecting with the "one mind" on a deep level...44:02-Rites of passage have tragically gone by the wayside in modern society...47:20-How to encourage healing in adults who have experienced trauma in the past...50:15-A practice Dr. Darcia relies on for success in life...59:40-And much more...Resources mentioned:Evolved Nest websiteDr. Darcia's personal websiteRestoring the Kinship Worldview: Indigenous Voices Introduce 28 Precepts for Rebalancing Life on Planet EarthNeurobiology and the Development of Human Morality: Evolution, Culture, and WisdomGuest's social handles:<a...

What if everything we were taught about consciousness by conventional science in the past was wrong? And what if there was proof that heaven exists? Imagine being a distinguished brain-surgeon, teaching at Harvard and you are convinced there is no afterlife. Until all of a sudden your brain dies and you are on life-support for seven days. And during these seven days you travel to the other side and meet God.&nbsp;This is the story of Dr. Eben Alexander. The American neurosurgeon’s book Proof of Heaven debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and his latest book Living in a Mindful Universe is a compelling introduction to the current paradigm shift in science, where the old nihilistic worldview where consciousness is merely a side effect of brain activity is now being replaced by the idea that consciousness is the fundamental basis of what defines and makes reality itself.&nbsp;Dr. Eben Alexander’s take on consciousness, mind, soul and love offers a compass to navigate the trying times of conflict and confusion we are currently experiencing. In this interview he not only talks about life after death, but also how to live a more meaningful existence right here and now and how his Near Death Experience completely changed his old worldview, which was until then, completely materialistic.In this interview with Eben Alexander, you'll discover:-The "Amnesia of the Divine"...02:49-How quantum physics has debunked the pseudo-science of materialism...07:00-Eben recounts his encounter with the Divine...12:45-How and when the "materialistic" worldview came in vogue around the world...21:33-How reconnecting with the spiritual realm eases anxiety and fear in this life...25:42-Prayer and living in a mindful universe...31:32-Why evil is necessary for personal and communal growth...37:40-What to say to those who maintain this life has no meaning...42:37-Ethical concerns over advances in the realm of extending our physical presence on Earth...49:25-Self-love as it relates to interconnectedness with others...54:04-Eben's best personal practice...Resources mentioned:Eben's websiteProof of HeavenThe Map of HeavenLiving in a Mindful UniverseDr. Larry Dossey's book&nbsp;One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part Of A Greater Consciousness And Why It MattersSteve Taylor's book&nbsp;Spiritual Science: Why Science Needs Spirituality To Make Sense Of The WorldPim van Lommel's book&nbsp;Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science Of The Near Death ExperienceInstitute of Noetic Sciences project on Spontaneous RemissionDr. Kelly A.

When we are children, we ask questions upon questions. As adults, many of us lose that expression of innate curiosity and even become embarrassed about asking questions at all.And that is a shame, as questions are one of the most powerful tools to elevate ourselves and the world we live in.Questions are not only deeply revealing about the person who asks, but are profound drivers of our culture and of human history. The right question at the right time can change everything, from the course of a relationship to the course of the world.There is an art to asking the right questions and questions can also be wielded as weapons. How to learn one and to recognize and deal with the other is something this episode's guest is intimately familiar with.Warren Berger is a "questionologist".

In our lifetime we spend about 25 years asleep and for at least 6 of these years, we are dreaming.Dreams have fascinated philosophers for thousands of years, but only very recently dreams have become the subject of scientific study.&nbsp;I am certain that most of you who are listening have often wondered about your dreams, where they come from and what they mean and why you dream at all.

The ancient Greek aphorism “Know thyself” is intimately connected to self-awareness and being in charge of our own thoughts and personality. I have always found the travel inward, into our inner world, at least as important as the outward travel of physically exploring the world. There is power in knowing our own mind.
