A Fine Time for Healing

Today's special guest, Anoop Kumar, MD, encourages audiences to rethink the relationship between mind and body in a way that informs solutions to real-world challenges including healing diseases and upgrading the quality of our education. He communicates his vision through the lens of the Three Minds–a framework inspired by the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta. The application of this framework in healthcare is Health Revolution, a movement demonstrating that healing is possible when we see ourselves fully.

He has written books, written articles, given keynote talks, consulted with organizations, and collaborated with luminaries like Deepak Chopra.

Dr. Kumar has been exploring and experimenting with mind-body perspectives since he was a child. To quote Anoop, "As a child, I was surrounded by the teachings of Advaita Vedanta (the philosophy of non-duality). I began to see that life could be lived from two perspectives—as a character in a story, and as something beyond all stories. My journey and work has been to clarify and integrate these perspectives. Looking at the world anew can reveal unseen aspects of who we are. The result? We experience ourselves and our world more clearly, fully, and intimately."

Anoop Kumar, MD, MM is board certified in Emergency Medicine and holds a Master’s degree in Management with a focus in Health Leadership from McGill University. He practices in the Washington, DC metro area, where he also leads meditation gatherings for clinicians. He is the author of the book Michelangelo's Medicine: How Redefining the Human Body Will Transform Health and Healthcare. Anoop enjoys exploring and communicating about the intersection of self-awareness, science, and wellbeing. Visit him at anoopkumar.com and follow along @DrAnoopKuma

We make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad.  And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves?? 

To quote today's special guest, Greg Hammer, MD: "Mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment"

Judgment prevents us from seeing what is really in front of us!  We risk missing out on making new friends, having great conversations, and learning something new. Nonjudgment is observation without bias.  It’s understanding that reality is not necessarily good or bad— it just is.

Greg Hammer, MD is a Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, pediatric intensive care physician, pediatric anesthesiologist, mindfulness expert, and the author of GAIN without Pain: The Happiness Handbook for Health Care Professionals.

“Consciousness is a biological process like digestion.” says today's special guest, philosophical writer Robert Hamady in his thought-provoking book, a guide to self-revelation and self-appreciation, You Are Some Piece of Work.He was inspired to write this book after watching his father succumb to a brain tumor and coming to the realization that we don't produce our actions even though we may be certain that we do.

After listening to Robert you may find yourself questioning what you know about yourself and marveling at your average day.

You Are Some Piece of Work is a concise read on the supremacy of the brain vis-à-vis the mind. He breaks down six compelling neurological studies that indicate it is our brains--and not our will--that produces our actions.

Robert Hamady is a philosophical writer with a particular interest in consciousnes. He is a lawyer and strategic planner with a degree in philosophy. His other works include In Search of the Elusive “I”,The Other Virtual You and Groceryman.

We all have experienced disappointment, sadness, rejection, or the loss of something meaningful in our lives.

When you are wounded, innate animalistic instincts for self-protection kick in as a means for survival.These behavior patterns are a natural and necessary coping strategy, at first. But many dwell far too long in these patterns and separate themselves from their source of inner wisdom and intuition. Using astrology as a diagnostic tool, today's special guest, Lisa Tahir, LCSW reveals how to use the astrological placement of the minor planet Chiron in your birth chart to identify the core wounds and unconscious patterns that block your capacity to have self-empathy and to forgive.

Coining the phrase “Chiron effect” to describe the magnetic pull that individuals have around specific areas of vulnerability, she explains how,like a raw nerve, the placement of Chiron describes what parts of our lives we might edit or hide for fear of being rejected as well as the areas of sensitivity where we are triggered.

Today's special guest, Krishna Avalon, M. Ac, says that "this is because the limiting beliefs that hold us back reside in our subconscious. We can only eradicate or rewire those beliefs by working with our subconscious minds.

It will also expand your mind from self-sabotaging beliefs, leaving you feeling empowered to create the life you want."
