ConsciousSHIFT with Julie Ann Turner

What if the world as we know it
operates on a false premise -
a premise that everything is separate
from everything else?

What if ultimate reality is something different
than what we believe in the mainstream?

What if we can create Heaven on Earth
by simply living as who we really are?

Global Oneness Day was created
precisely to address these things.

Join Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest, Steve Farrell - co-founder
with "Conversations with God" author Neale Donald Walsch
of Humanity's Team, the international organization and
movement that created "Global Oneness Day" -
the "Earth Day for Awakened Humanity" -
in its 8th year, on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

ConsciousSHIFT is a Global Oneness Day Co-Creator this year,
and I am committed in lending my support, as I have for years.

I’m contributing my time to call attention to our connection,
our Oneness, because this is the first step
in creating a fulfilling, compassionate and sustainable world.

It is an ancient truth, a timeless truth,
that we are all One with the Divine,
each other and all of life.

We are not separate, even though
it appears that we are
when we look out on the world.

This wisdom is shared in the Old Testament,
Bhagavad Gita, the Vedas, Tao Te Ching,
the Upanishads and other Sacred Text.

The message that we are all One
with the Divine and each other
has been shared over the millennia.

In Oneness, we see that what we do for others
we are actually doing for our self.

It is easy to see how this leads us down a virtuous path.

For example, when people are hurting
or the earth is crying out for our attention, we respond.

But not from a vantage point of a problem
that is “out there” because there is no “out there."

Everything is interrelated, interconnected and interdependent -
so everything is personal and we hold everything close.

In Humanity’s Team we believe this is the missing message.

It is the message that turns the world right side up.

When we commune with the Divine within and live in connection
with the world around us everything starts to come together.

We are part of the beautiful planet we inhabit,
so we naturally come into service to humanity and all of life.

Imagine what the world looks like when we live in the truth
of our connection, our Oneness.

Imagine each of us communing with the Divine within
and coming into service to the world around us
because we know it is part of who we are.

Imagine all of us living as our Big Self, not our small self.
This is the Heaven on Earth that we’ve all dreamed about.

We believe we can make this our reality in this generation.

In 2007, the Humanity’s Team Global Council gathered
in Portugal to discuss this. We reflected upon how Earth Day
had been created to address the ecological crisis and discussed
how a Global Oneness Day might call attention to the illusion
of separation that has caused so much dysfunction in the world.

We agreed to create an Oneness Petition and to solicit signatures
from all over the world. In 2010 we gathered over 50,000 signatures
from over 150 countries and arranged a meeting with Ambassador
Anwarul Chowdhury at the United Nations. On May 20th our team
presented the petition and formally requested that the United Nations create a Global Oneness Day.

The rest is history.

We were invited to create Global Oneness Day so we did.

Our first Global Oneness Day was on October 24th, 2010.

We arranged a global conference call with the capacity
to hand

INSPIRED INVENTION …
how creative visionary and American veteran Kevin Munro
acted on his inspired ideas,
to invent 3 environmental innovations …

Join Julie Ann & Kevin on ConsciousSHIFT, to discover how you can honor your inspired ideas, to contribute to the world, too.

We all know someone who is more sensitive than others and more affected by the hardships around them.

The term that describes these sensitive people is "empaths." But unlike the experience of normal empathy, they not only share in others' joy and pain, they actually feel and absorb others' emotions and physical symptoms.

Empath's heightened experience of the world can overwhelm or even damage them, unless they learn tools to empower and ground themselves.

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest, Dr. Judith Orloff - author of The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People - says that research shows that 1 out of 5 people are highly sensitive.

But what is the difference between having empathy and being an empath or highly sensitive?

"Empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain," says Dr. Orloff. "But empaths actually feel others' emotions and physical symptoms in their own bodies, without the usual defenses most people have.

While most of us tend to think first, and then feel, empaths function in the opposite way. Other characteristics of empaths include:

* They are overwhelmed by large groups and need a lot of alone time;
* Labeled as shy, introverted, or overly sensitive;
* Over-stimulated by noise, odors and non-stop talkers;
* A need to replenish in nature.

In our over-intellectualized society, we often do empaths a disservice by thinking there is something "wrong" with them and misdiagnosing them with sensory processing disorder, depression, agoraphobia, panic disorder, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

They have a gift that needs to be nurtured.

While their big hearts and amazing talent for deciphering other's feelings often lead them to health and service professions, it can also lead to compassion fatigue and burnout.

To better embrace their special gifts, empaths need to develop self-preservation techniques to not only survive, but thrive.

Join Julie Ann and Judith to discover 5 insider tips for empaths and highly sensitive people in an insensitive world - with these strategies in place, you can enjoy your gifts of depth, creativity, intuition, love of nature, capacity to deeply love, and fulfill your desire to help others and better the world.

An essential and new message is coming through, shared by Neale Donald Walsch in his latest book, Conversations With God, Book 4: Awaken the Species.

Julie Ann is honored to host Neale again on ConsciousSHIFT (see May 2010 Show on iTunes http://itun.es/igQ6Wv) - in this show they discuss Neale's unexpected, and powerful, new message from God (introductory excerpts below):

You are already awake.

You just aren't acting like you are.

The jarring state of the world you are experiencing is reminding you that you're already awake, and you can choose to do something about it.

Even those who did not know before, know now.

It's becoming too obvious for even the most immature members of your emerging species to not seek it, to not realize it, or to pretend they don't know. Yet you're still not acting as if you know. You're not integrating what you know.

You must begin acting like you know Who You Are.

That is all that's going to be required for all of you who already feel that you are awake to bring and end to every nightmarish condition.

The invitation is to demonstrate Who You Really Are - and one way you see yourself doing it is by assisting in ending the suffering of others, bringing healing to a planet, and affecting in a a positive way the future of those you love.

The invitation is to awaken, as part of your process of personal evolution, the many members of your species who are already awake, to the fact that they are, and then to inspire them to begin acting like it also, so to model and inspire an awakened behavior for those others who are still asleep - and to do this because your personal evolution calls you to. You can't awaken the species until you awaken yourself.

Being awake and knowing what you know ... and having all that you know fully integrated into your life ... are two different things.

God resides inside you. You are an Individuation of Divinity.

It's time to start acting like it.

Survival is not your basic instinct. If you all followed your basic instinct, the survival of your species would not be in question. It would be guaranteed.

The basic instinct of humanity is the expression of every human's True Identity - which is Divinity.

If humans followed the impulse of their soul in every moment, they would create Heaven on Earth overnight.

It is The Perfect Time for Advancement.

Join Julie Ann and Neale, as he shares 16 contrasts between how we live and how an awakened Highly Evolved Being would act, as well as the 7 Tools of Integration - which we may use to live an Awakened Life, fulfill our potential, AND save ourselves, the species, and the planet.

Steve Jobs, fresh from the sting of being
unceremoniously dismissed from Apple,
bought a little-known graphics company
called Pixar from George Lucas.

For years Jobs personally financed the company —
hoping that it would be his comeback story —
breaking new ground in the technology of computer animation.

For Pixar to lift off the ground though,
it would need help.

And that was where Steve Jobs turned
to Lawrence Levy, Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT
guest, and author of TO PIXAR AND BEYOND:
My Unlikely Journey with Steve Jobs to Make Entertainment History.

What Lawrence, a Harvard-trained lawyer
and executive, found as he explored Pixar -
was a company on the verge of failure.

Lawrence shares the story of what happened next:
how, working closely with Jobs, Lawrence produced
and implemented a highly improbable plan
that transformed Pixar into one of Hollywood’s
greatest success stories.

Join Julie Ann and Lawrence to discover the untold
and unknown story of how he worked hand-in-hand
with Steve Jobs to reinvent a tiny video graphics studio
and grow it into one of the most powerful and beloved
motion picture studios of our time.

We are witnessing a revolution in human possibility - a growing movement to storm heaven and steal fire.

It's about a $4 trillion dollar underground revolution in hacking consciousness to increase performance.

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest Steven Kotler -
co-author with Jamie Wheal, of STEALING FIRE:
How to Harness the Revolution in Altered States -
the story of Silicon Valley executives, members of
the U.S. special forces, maverick scientists,
to name only a few—who are turning everything
we thought we knew about high-performance upside down.

Instead of grit, better habits, or 10,000 hours, these trailblazers
have found a surprising short cut.

They're harnessing altered states of consciousness
to solve critical challenges and outperform their competition.

Today, this revolution is spreading from the extreme
to the mainstream, forcing us to rethink how we can
all lead richer, more productive, more satisfying lives.

Driven by four accelerating forces — psychology,
neurobiology, technology and pharmacology —
we are gaining access to and insights about
some of the most controversial and misunderstood
terrain in history.

It is essential to know how to navigate these potent forces -
so we can harness them safely and responsibly,
and avoid common traps that exist as we explore
the edge of consciousness and human potential.

New York Times bestselling author Steven Kotler and performance expert Jamie Wheal spent four years investigating behind the scenes of this revolution-from the Virginia Beach home of SEAL Team Six, to the Googleplex in Mountain View, to the Burning Man festival in Nevada, to Richard Branson’s hideaway on Necker Island, to Red Bull’s headquarters in Santa Monica, to Nike’s innovation team in Portland, to the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

And what they learned was stunning: In their own ways, with differing languages, techniques, and applications, every one of these groups has been quietly seeking the same thing: the boost in information and inspiration that altered states provide.

Today, this revolution is spreading to the mainstream, fueling a trillion dollar underground economy and forcing us to rethink how we can all lead richer, more productive, more satisfying lives.

Join Julie Ann and Steven to enter that revolution - to discover the nature of “ecstasis”—those moments where we step beyond our default consciousness - and begin to explore more expansive possibilities, in the intersection of consciousness, wellbeing and performance.

Brooke Axtell's own story - and the heartbreaking
and stunning way she tells it - helps give voice
and hope to all other victims of abuse
and human trafficking.

Brooke's own story and voice rang
out across the globe in her appearance
on The Grammy's with Katy Perry in 2015 -
where her gifts as a writer, poet and activist
stunned the world:

"After a year of passionate romance with a handsome,
charismatic man, i was stunned when he began
to abuse me. I believed he was lashing out because
he was in pain, and needed help. I believed my compassion could restore him, and our relationship.
My empathy was used against me.
I was terrified of him, and ashamed I was in this position.
What bound me to him was my desire to heal him.

My compassion was incomplete - because it did not include me.

When he threatened to kill me, I knew I had to escape.
I revealed the truth to my mom, and she encouraged me
to seek help at a local domestic violence center.
This conversation saved my life.

Authentic love does not devalue another human being.
Authentic love does not silence, shame, or abuse.

If you are in a relationship that does not honor and respect you,
I want you to know that you are worthy of love.
Please reach out for help. Your voice will save you.
Let it extend into the night, let it part the darkness,
let it set you free to know who you truly are -
valuable, beautiful, loved."

Since then, Brooke founded SHE IS RISING,
to provide a healing community for survivors
of rape, abuse and sex trafficking.

http://www.sheisrising.org

Brooke herself was trafficked by her nanny when she
was 7 years old. And this experience made her more vulnerable
to experiencing domestic violence later in life, she explains—
a major risk factor for entering abusive relationships
is sexual abuse before the age of 18.

"I founded SHE IS RISING because I believe in
the unconditional worth of women and girls
who face the trauma of violence and exploitation,"
Brooke says. "I believe in their dignity, resilience,
creativity and vision for the future. SHE IS RISING
empowers survivors to become leaders."

Join Julie Ann and Brooke as they explore the ways we can all help inspire young women to reclaim their worth
and express their power to create a more compassionate world.

STORY SHAPES REALITY...
it keeps us evolving, pushing forward, wanting to grow,
desiring to explore …

So declares Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest,
Story Alchemist Kylie Slavik - who also warns
that we are in danger of becoming
"a people without a story."

Kylie shares how power of storytelling
has evolved dramatically - from the days
when only scribes and royals possessed -
and restricted - the power of story ...
to our current digital world where now
anyone can tell a story ...

And why this not only increases our
potential power - but also our responsibility
as visionaries - as we are now called
to help consciously shift the story.

By telling a new story - we can not only
help resolve problems, but craft a new ending
that serves us all, both on a personal level,
and on a global level.

Join Julie Ann and Kylie to discover how
your stories can stop you – or propel you to success ...
as we reveal the keys to craft a new story,
assume your leadership voice,
and start living by conscious design..

Ever feel like the clouds are closing in on you -
and you just can't seem to break through
to see the blue sky of your true potential -
and your power to choose happiness?

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest and renowned Zen master
Joseph Emet - author of FINDING THE BLUE SKY: A Mindful Approach
to Choosing Happiness Here and Now - shares powerful
mindfulness techniques that allow us to choose
happiness in every moment.

Joseph says multiple mindfulness techniques can foster happiness -
even when life is far from perfect. These practices help us to:

• Retell our personal narrative
• Incorporate moments of pleasure into each day
• Identify and omit the destructive habits that we assume will bring us happiness
• Understand how emotional states impact the way we experience the world
• Determine real needs from wants, and learn how to express them
• Counteract the daily indoctrination of the media
• Practice mindful laziness
• Experience agelessness by being in the moment

Instead of focusing on the negative, positive psychology focuses
on what makes people happy - tracing the fascinating intersection
between the age-old wisdom of Buddhism and the latest scientific
research.

Join Julie Ann and Joseph to discover how to replace negative thinking
with positive thinking, move from frenzied thinking to quiet contemplation,
and enjoy happiness as a daily - even moment-to-moment experience.
