ConsciousSHIFT with Julie Ann Turner

WHAT IF ... there’s a better way
to make decisions every day?

WHAT IF, just by developing a few simple
yet effective rules, you can tackle even
the most complex problems?

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest Kathy Eisenhardt,
co-author with Don Sull, of SIMPLE RULES:
How to Thrive in a Complex World - discovers these
guiding insights in unexpected places, from the way
Tina Fey codified her experience working at Saturday Night Live into rules for producing 30 Rock
(rule five: never tell a crazy person he’s crazy)
to burglars’ rules to choose a house to rob
(“avoid houses with a car parked outside”)
to Japanese engineers using the foraging rules
of slime molds to optimize Tokyo’s rail system.

Whether you’re working to be a better manager or investor, trying to get your start-up off the ground,
or get in shape, or get a date, SIMPLE RULES can serve
as powerful tools to tame complexity.

Join Julie Ann and Kathy to discover how you
can craft clear framework for developing quick
and easy rules for solving personal
and professional challenges.

SCOTT SAMPSON / HOW TO RAISE A WILD CHILD

Connecting people, and especially children,
with nature is one of the most pressing issues
of our time: in the age of Google and iPhones,
how are we to find a balance between technology
and the natural world?

Luckily, Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest
Scott Sampson - author of "HOW TO RAISE
A WILD CHILD" - shows, the very best place
to connect with nature is - wherever you
happen to live ... as he joins Julie Ann
to explore how to hook kids on nature
(even in urban environments!) and help
grown-ups become highly successful
nature mentors, as well.

American children spend just 4 to 7 minutes
a day playing outdoors — 90 percent less time
than their parents did.

Yet recent research shows that experiences
in nature are essential for healthy growth.

Regular exposure to nature can help relieve
stress, depression, and attention deficits.
It can reduce bullying, combat illness,
and boost academic scores.

Most critical of all, abundant time in nature
seems to yield long-term benefits in kids’
cognitive, emotional, and social development.

Join Julie Ann and Scott to discover how adults
can help kids fall in love with nature — enlisting
technology as an ally, taking advantage of urban
nature, and instilling a sense of place
along the way..

Perhaps one of the most surprising -
and promising - trends in business today
is the rise of mindfulness
in the workplace.

From small companies to multinational
corporations, more and more people
are meditating on the job, and
with good reason: mindfulness
can make us more focused,
more effective, and happier.

At first, the notion of yoga
and meditation in the office
seems like the province of
Silicon Valley start-ups
where employees bring their dogs
to work and play football
in the lobby.

But in recent years, mindfulness
has gone mainstream - as New York Times
staff writer David Gelles shares
in MINDFUL WORK: How Meditation is
Changing Business from the Inside out.

As David shares, many of America’s
largest companies, such as General Mills,
Target, Google, and Aetna, have built
extensive programs to foster mindful practices
among their workers.

This is because — as employees and employers
are discovering, and psychologists and
cognitive scientists have confirmed —
mindfulness has tangible benefits.

For workers, meditation lowers stress,
increases mental focus, and alleviates
depression. For companies,
a more mindful workforce is more productive.

Join Julie Ann and David for this insightful
investigation into the growing trend among
major companies, including Fortune 100 giants,
to promote mindful activities like meditation
and yoga in the workplace, and its often surprising
effects on productivity, strategy, and employees’
mental health ... as well as keys to balancing
home life and personal relationships, future
economic ramifications; and passing down
a legacy of mindfulness to our children.

What does it take to activate
conscious, positive change
in the world?

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest James O'Dea, author of THE CONSCIOUS ACTIVIST: Where Activism Meets Mysticism - and former head of Amnesty International and the Institute of Noetic Sciences, says only the integration of the two - both activism and mysticism - has the power to wake up humanity from its course of rapid self-destruction.

In their ConsciousSHIFT conversation, Julie Ann and James will guide a deep reflection on the demands of mystical realization and effective activism.

James will share his experience and training to become both a mystic and an activist.

The mystic, he says, must move past petty ego concerns in order to experience oneness with each other and our divine source. The activist, on the other hand, explores the role of passion and conscience in activating social change.

There is communion, though, between the activist and the mystic – both seek to bring abstract concepts into flesh-and-blood reality.

James will also share what he sees as a meeting ground between the two worlds, where spirituality and action unite to spark an accelerated transition towards our greater goal: a more evolved civilization.

He sees it as essential that we all become conscious activists – to learn, collectively, how to move beyond our rigid conformity to beliefs of the past and its archaic structures of power and control.

Our global problems of extreme competitiveness and violence have escalated in human history because we have not learned to evolve beyond them.

Join Julie Ann and James for this powerful conversation about what being a Conscious Activist means, as it offers a meaningful answer to the question of who we are when we are fully evolved. This ConsciousSHIFT offers us the chance to save ourselves from our self-imposed prisons, and to become fully conscious of our power to bring heaven to Earth.

With Special Guest Shawne Duperon
of Project Forgive

How does the mother whose husband and daughter
were gunned down by terrorists forgive the men
that slaughtered them?

How do the parents whose teenagers were killed
by a drunk driver embrace the person
whose selfish act robbed them of their children?

And how do we forgive the multitude of wrongs a
nd slights that we will inevitably face
throughout our lives?

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest Reverend Mpho Tutu
answers these questions with us - drawing from
The Book of Forgiving: The Four-Fold Path for
Healing Ourselves and Our World - which she wrote
along with her father, Nobel Peace Prize Winner
Desmond Tutu.

Using real examples from their own lives
and those of others around the globe,
the Tutus share very personally:
Desmond Tutu writing about the pain
of witnessing his father’s verbal and
physical abuse towards his mother
as a young boy; and Mpho Tutu sharing
about the trauma of finding her housekeeper,
Angela, brutally murdered in her home.

No one is better placed to offer guidance
and hope in a turbulent world than the former
Archbishop of Cape Town. Archbishop Desmond Tutu
received world-wide recognition (and the Nobel Peace Prize)
for the moral and spiritual leadership he gave
in opposition to South Africa’s apartheid regime.
Then in the post-apartheid era, President Nelson Mandela
asked him to Chair the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission which helped
South Africa address the crimes committed
during that era without bitter recrimination.

The Tutus distill those lessons and the
sequence of forgiveness into The Four-Fold Path:
* the importance of telling the story,
* naming the hurt,
* granting forgiveness, and
* choosing to either renew or release
the relationship that caused you pain.

Mpho also will share what forgiveness is not:
forgiveness is not weakness, it is not a subversion
of justice and it is not forgetting what happened.
And it is not easy.

She also will challenge the notion that the act
of forgiveness is a sign of weakness
or a lofty goal only the saintly can achieve.
Instead, she and her father offer scientific proof
that by pardoning others we help to heal
ourselves physically, emotionally and mentally.

Join Julie Ann and Mpho, as Mpho shares powerful stories,
practices, prayers and journaling that give us the space
and time – be it days, weeks, months or even years –
to arrive at the place where we can forgive others,
seek forgiveness or forgive ourselves.

There's a WAY crisis can become transformation …
a WAY simply surviving can become joyous thriving!

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest, Gregg Braden -
author of THE TURNING POINT: Creating Resilience
in a Time of Extremes and keynote speaker for the
Conscious Life Expo ("Creating Resilience in a Time
of Extremes" Keynote & Post Conference Intensive -
LA - Feb. 6th-9th, 2015 - www.consciouslifeexpo) -
says that, in our lives, that time is The Turning Point ...
and that, in our world, that time is now!

Gregg shares that we live in a time of extremes.

And because the conditions of global finance, markets, resources, and jobs touch so much of our lives,
we can no longer separate our everyday routines
from the extremes of the world.

The crises of climate change, extreme weather,
and failing economies, for example, translate directly
into the cost of the fuel that gets us back and forth
to work each day; the interest we pay on our loans
and that we're in turn paid on our savings; the loss of neighborhood businesses and local jobs; and the closing of factories, with the many benefits they bring to our communities.

All of this means that our lives are changing in ways
we've never seen in the past, and they're changing faster than we've been prepared to deal with.

The good news is that nature gives us the key to turn
the frightening Tipping Points of such extremes
into life-affirming Turning Points of transformation.

Fact: The solutions to our biggest problems already exist!

Fact: We already have the technology and the means
to adapt to the extremes!

Fact: All that stands between the suffering of the present and the world transformed is the shift in thinking
that allows the existing solutions into our lives.

The key to thriving in this time of extremes hinges upon:

1. Our willingness to honestly acknowledge the facts
of what we’re up against

2 The discoveries that reveal the power of cooperation in nature and human communities rather than the old ideas of competition, and,

3. Our ability to create resilience on a personal
as well as a community level, based upon proven, actionable, and sustainable principles.

Will we choose the Turning Point to the greatest
transformation of living and thinking the world has ever seen?

Join Julie Ann and Gregg to discover the simple strategies of resilient thinking for yourself - and resilient living for your families and communities - as we navigate the greatest shift in power, wealth and resources in the modern world history!

ASHER FOX / FAT TO FEARLESS:
End Emotional Eating for Good!

Are You Secretly Afraid You’ll Be Overweight Forever?

IT'S TIME TO STOP THE YO-YO CYCLE …
as Julie Ann and her ConsciousSHIFT guest Asher Fox,
author of FAT TO FEARLESS: Enjoy Permanent Weight Loss and End Emotional Eating... For Good! -
share specific methods to stop our subconscious minds
from sabotaging us (and transform it into an ally) -
to overcome the fear that lies at the heart
of every emotional overeater.

Asher initially thought that becoming a personal fitness trainer would give him the tools, motivation and activity to conquer his yo-yo weight gain. And at 22, starting with only $300 left over from student loans, he built one of the largest personal training businesses in the state of Florida with multiple locations and a host of trainers working for him.

But it’s hard to maintain your credibility with clients, when you reach 300 pounds — just as Asher did at his peak.

Working in the business could not inoculate him from his own lack of self-esteem and the things that were literally eating at him. And so he began his quest to find a permanent solution for himself and others.

It led him ultimately to create the most comprehensive arsenal of psychological tools assembled to date to overcome, convert and enroll the subconscious mind in the healing process in FAT TO FEARLESS - the guidance everyone who struggles with emotional eating has been waiting for.

Why Fearless?

Because, Fox says, it is fear that lies at the heart of every emotional overeater...an often-unconscious fear that reinforces the desire to eat to avoid some aspect of pain.
That’s why reaching and changing the subconscious — which is exponentially more powerful than the conscious mind-- is so critical.


FAT TO FEARLESS is far from a quick fix—change-your-diet, journal-what-you-eat, get-some-more-exercise, or fad weight-loss guide - it's a full-on assault on the subconscious that requires from 8 to 12 weeks to do if followed as directed.

• You will discover the three ways the subconscious subverts every effort to change—The Critical Gateway, the Reticular Activating System (R.A.S.) and the Inner Critic

• How to lure these systems into supporting you in your campaign to regain control over your life

• How the Inner Critic and the Inner Child are locked in a shouting match for your attention

• How the pain-pleasure balance is critical to getting to and sustaining a healthy weight

• How the hidden belief systems from childhood affect your relationship with food and your body today, in ways you can’t

imagine!
• How there is one question that moves you to action: Have You Suffered Enough?
• How to search out and identify those hidden, mostly subconscious programs that have you trapped in the weight gain/weight loss cycle—and you just don’t know why.

If you are secretly afraid you will be overweight forever, join Julie Ann and Asher to shift from Fat to Fearless - because the key to permanently changing your body is changing your mind, healing your heart, and reprogramming your subconscious to live life as the thinner, happier and healthier person you were always meant to be.
