ConsciousSHIFT with Julie Ann Turner

How Letting Go Can Transform Your Life

Are you longing for your life
to be easier and more fun?

Would you like to stop pushing, micromanaging,
and forcing things so you can relax?

What if you could enjoy what you have instead
of always lusting for “more”?

What if you could live in “the zone,”
propelled by powerful currents toward the right people
and opportunities?

What if you could stop worrying about money
and live with more emotional ease
in the moment?

If you answer “yes” to all these questions and desire
lasting positive change, then prepare to experience
the ecstasy of surrender.

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT Guest Dr. Judith Orloff -
author of The Ecstasy of Surrender: 12 Surprising Ways
Letting Go Can Empower Your Life - shares that
"The art of letting go is the secret key to manifesting
power and success in all areas of life - including work,
relationships, sexuality, radiant aging,
and health and healing."

Even in our superconnected world where emails
and text messages constantly interrupt us,
Judith says it’s easier to let go than you think.

Julie Ann and Judith will explore specific keys
and tools to let go, and claim the power -
and ecstasy - of surrender.

Once embraced, surrendering removes roadblocks
and the exhaustion that comes from “trying too hard” —
and it helps you achieve goals more effortlessly
and brings ongoing happiness.

Though surrender is often considered counter-intuitive
to success — it's wrongly associated with weakness
and defeat — it can make you more powerful, intuitive,
spiritually connected, uninhibited, and ecstatically
in the flow.

You can sabotage success by pushing too hard.
Surrender is the antidote to stress in a world
that relentlessly conspires to interrupt creative thought.

Surrender boosts your brain's endorphins -
euphoric, opiate-like pain killers -
and serotonin, a natural antidepressant
that allows you to relax, have more fun,
and succeed more wildly than ever before.

Life becomes easier and more blissful
when you can let go.

Join Julie Ann and Judith, as Judith brings to ConsciousSHIFT
her gift for storytelling, coupled with her unique,
results-oriented approach to physical, emotional,
and spiritual health — marrying neuroscience,
psychiatry, intuitive medicine, energy techniques,
and more — Judith shares how surrender
can free anyone who is longing to be happier
but who feels stuck, burned-out, tense,
worried, or afraid to let go.

Most people go through life sleepwalking —
they do the same routine every day
devoid of meaning or purpose ...
and without even realizing it.

The simple way to end this cycle, according to Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest Chris Attwood,
co-author with his wife Janet Attwood and Sylvia Dvorak,
of YOUR HIDDEN RICHES: Unleashing the Power
of Ritual to Create a Life of Meaning and Purpose
(and the NY Times bestseller, The Passion Test),
is by embracing your hidden riches.

So, what are your hidden riches?

Hidden riches refer to the unique life design
that is inside everyone. Chris says the key to discovering
these riches is to harness the power of RITUALS,
and unlock the treasury where your hidden riches lie.

Successful people in every area use rituals,
but most don’t talk about them
because they’re very personal.

Sports stars use rituals to perform at their best.
Musicians and artists use them to spark their creativity.
Business leaders use them to create cohesive teams
and build a company culture. Celebrities use them
to maintain a balance between their personal and public lives.

Rituals are simply tools, and because tools can be used
for good purposes or bad, ‘ritual’ can have
a negative connotation.

Chris will share that not only can rituals
be fun and meaningful, but they’re a time-tested way
to manage your time, your energy and your thinking
in this fast-paced, sometimes crazy modern world we live in.

Rituals can serve us for better Relationships ...
Diet, Health, and Beauty ... Creating Wealth ...
Seasons of Life ... a Closer Family Circle ...
and much more.

By structuring conscious, intentional rituals into your life,
you ensure your life has balance. You focus on what’s truly meaningful and you create deeper connections with the most important people in your life.

Join Julie Ann and Chris to explore how we can reignite the power of personal and community rituals - to sustain us in the midst of an ever-increasing onslaught of information and complexity, and to sustain our world by reawakening the awareness of our interconnection with all life.

AMIT GOTSWAMI / QUANTUM CREATIVITY: Think Quantum. Be Creative.

Clearly, our societies are going through crisis -
and the world is crying out for creative solutions.

The signs are everywhere — economic meltdowns,
environmental pollution and global climate change,
worldview polarization of politics and frozen democracies,
terrorism, loss of meaning and value in education
in favor of information processing, healthcare systems
whose costs cannot be contained.

Not coincidentally, there is an acute need for a paradigm shift
from our worldview of religious dualism and scientific materialism
(the primacy of matter) to an integrative worldview based on the primacy of consciousness.

For crisis resolution and paradigm shifts,
we need creativity.

In this pivotal time, opportunities arise - and call for -
the fulfillment of our creative potential.

What is the vehicle that a creative rides?

According to Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest, Amit Gotswami,
quantum physicist and author of Quantum Creative,
the answer is, the quantum, the quantum, the quantum.

Dr. Gotswami explores creativity through the unique lens
of quantum physics - sharing a way to nurture and enhance
our own creativity - the ultimate source of joy and fulfillment.

What is creativity? Can anyone be creative?
What kinds of creativity are there?

The quantum approach is telling us
that everyone today can be creative.

According to quantum physics, reality occurs on two levels:
possibility and actuality. Dr. Gotswami shares that creativity
requires "quantum thinking" — the capacity to engage
with a problem both in the conscious mind of actuality
and the unconscious mind of possibility.

We will explore quantum unconscious processing and
quantum leaps that creativity researchers identify
as the AHA! insight. We will learn the secrets
of creative living - do-be-do-be-do - and the flow experience.

We will explore creativity in the outer arena —
the arts the sciences, and businesses ... as wells as inner creativity -
how to creatively transform our emotions from negative to positive
and acquire emotional intelligence.

We also will explore the creative journey
of spiritual enlightenment.

Join Julie Ann and Dr. Amit Goswami to discover
how to more consciously activate your quantum
creative power and potential.

A NEW WORLD STORY...
the greatest transition drama the world has ever seen ...
will take a total SHIFT in consciousness ...

The SHIFT is happening -
and each one of us is a part of it.
There is mass awakening - and THE SHIFT MOVIE will share the message, with the intent to accelerate the shift in consciousness toward global human thriving.
Julie Ann’s ConsciousSHIFT guest, movie director Rochelle Marmorstein, calls this a MOVIE MADE BY A MOVEMENT, because what it illustrates is a Movement that is the combination and culmination of ALL the movements to a more socially just society and peaceful world.

Every one of us has a role to play and can contribute to making this a better world.

This film showcases individuals who are already making a difference with passion and a commitment to positive change, magnetizing incredible luminaries, leading-edge thinkers, evolutionary futurists, scientists and ordinary people doing extraordinary things – including Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Desmond Tutu, Jean Houston, Lynne Twist, Peter Diamandis, Russell Brand, and activist Derrick Ashong.

Rochelle has invested her resources and her expertise as a film director into this project over the last 10 years - shooting visionary interviews, and now shooting the individual stories of the ordinary people stepping into their power to make a difference to their families, local communities, countries and to the world.

Technology and innovation breakthroughs are rapidly advancing the individuals' capability to make a bigger impact on the billions on the planet – and these stories in the film illustrate the impact that each one of us has the opportunity to create at this historical moment.

“By embracing the Inner SHIFT from powerless to powerful,
from victim to deliberate creators of our reality,
we ignite the imagination and consciousness to create the world of which we dream,” Rochelle shares.
“By SHIFTING the conversation from complaining about problems to solving them, individually and together through collaboration and cooperation as ordinary individuals do extraordinary and courageous things to move our culture into the future with peace, love, well-being and vision.”

Join Julie Ann and Rochelle to explore how THE SHIFT MOVIE shines a light on the magnificence of the human spirit and imagination to overcome adversity.

Finding the Essence of Innovation in Creative Pairs

When is the work of two people together greater
than what either could do on their own?

As long as we’ve been interested in creativity,
we’ve been preoccupied by
the myth of the lone genius.

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT Guest Joshua Wolf Shenk -
author of THE POWERS OF TWO - busts this fantasy apart,
and draws on new scientific research to show how
the pair is the embodiment of ingenuity.

On the show, we'll explore the magic of John Lennon
and Paul McCartney, the power of "hidden partners"
(even Einstein had one), and the genius of scores
of others in the fields of writing, music, dance,
science, technology, social activism, and business.

When it comes to creative success, we'll discover why
Josh persuasively argues that two is the magic number –
and why this changes everything we thought we knew
about creativity.

Join Julie Ann and Josh to discover the “secrets”
of creative pairs!

Take inner-city troubled teens + mentors
+ building ELECTRIC CARS (that's right!) = MINDDRIVE

At-risk high school students in Kansas City’s urban core travel down a new road when they remodel and convert cars - from a Lotus Esprit to antique Karman Ghias - into electric cars as part of MINDDRIVE, a nonprofit educational program geared toward teaching STEM principles through hands-on learning.

MINDDRIVE students choose from after-school and Saturday classes in Automotive Design Studio, Welding, 3D CAD, Contemporary Communication and Solar Lighting Design, and use real-world challenges of our times to learn critical thinking, creativity, entrepreneurship and how to improve their future by expanding their vision for themselves.

In the Automotive Design Studio, he autos are stripped down to the frame, then completely rebuilt. The groups are in charge of the design, ordering of parts, and building the cars – tasks that take teamwork, planning, and leadership. Adult volunteers act as mentors.

For students not interested in cars, MINDDRIVE offers Contemporary Communications, where students learn photography, videography, editing, social media, and blogging. The communications group works as an advertising agency for the auto group, publicizing its work.

That’s how last year’s SOCIAL FUEL MEDIA TOUR came about. Student’s drove from Kansas City to Washington, D.C. To raise awareness for experiential learning like MINDDRIVE, the students added a monitoring device to their electric car that "converted" social activity into energy. Through tweets, posts, shares and likes, the team had enough fuel to travel from K.C. to D.C., where they held a Congressional Hearing, sponsored by the ASME and the IEEE, to drive change in education. The focused conversation was around the impact of experiential, hands-on learning on creating a direct link to STEM-related jobs.

At the culmination of each school year, MINDDRIVE takes its students on the road trip of a lifetime. This year, the MINDDRIVE group took a road trip to northern California where they visited the Googleplex— Google’s headquarters — Twitter’s offices and a number of others.

MINDDRIVE has created an educational model that influences the student’s other core classes. The students are exposed to several new career paths and can see how the work they do at MINDDRIVE can translate into a career choice or an exploration of possibilities they'd never thought of before.

Join Julie Ann and MINDDRIVE's President Linda Buchner for a fascinating and inspiring conversation about what fueling creative thought in teens makes possible!

MARY ROCKWOOD LANE / HEALING WITH THE ARTS

Ever gardened in a community garden?
Sung a song to lift your mood?
Painted a mural with your neighbors to cover graffiti?

Each of these acts has the power to heal
your body and your community.

ART — including visual arts, dance, writing, and music —
along with spiritual practices and guided imagery -
gives us the tools to heal physical, mental, emotional
and spiritual ailments.

Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest Mary Rockwood Lane,
co-author with Michael Samuels of
"HEALING WITH THE ARTS:
A 12-Week Program to Heal Yourself
and Your Community,"
shares with us how creativity and self-expression
pave a path to healing ... whether your personal health
or the health of your community - the ARTS
awaken the innate healing ability within each of us.

"By releasing tension and fear, by opening the mind
to passionate creativity and the forces that made us,
the inner artist and the inner healer release
the immense power of love to heal," Mary shares.
"The inner artist and inner healer as one,
is an exquisite balance of energetic wholeness.
By finding your inner artist and joining with
your inner healer, you may change your body’s
physiology and optimize healing."

Leland Kaiser, health futurist at University of Colorado,
says that the future of healthcare is a convergence
of art, spirituality, and healing.

Forty-five percent of U.S. health-care institutions
now have arts in medicine programs of some sort,
according to the most recent data by the
Global Alliance for Arts & Health.

Art and healing is now a huge field ...
all over the world, people are healing themselves,
others, community and the earth with the arts:
from women in the Middle East painting to heal their spirits
to survivors of sexual abuse dancing in the Western United States
from one women writing and singing a song for her sick baby
to another in the Philippines painting to heal the suffering of her indigenous culture
from music concerts to heal the community in Newtown, Connecticut
to women painting to heal breast cancer in San Francisco

Join Julie Ann and Mary, to discover how you can become an artist/healer.

Mary Rockwood Lane, PhD, RN, FAAN, is the co-founder and director emeritus of Shands Arts in Medicine program at University of Florida (UF), Gainesville, where she created the first artist-in-residence program of its type in the United States. At a time when art was not integrated in health care, Mary became inspired by her own experience of healing herself through art and created a program which incorporates art, music, poetry, theater, and dance into the medical profession. She directed the nationally-recognized Arts in Medicine program for over 15 years. Since moving on, she has worked tirelessly to promote this vision for a more creative and transformative nursing practice. Mary is now an Associate Professor of at College of Nursing, UF where she teaches Creativity and Spirituality in Healthcare.

MINA TRINITY CHANG / WHEN THE WORLD HURTS

From the Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram (#BringBackOurGirls) to those hurt by natural disasters and crushed by poverty worldwide,
Mina Trinity Chang and NGOs like Linking the World speak up, step in, and lead a global revolution for sustainable growth.

Attending the May 2014 World Economic Summit
in Abuja, Nigeria, Mina Chang, CEO of Linking the World, spoke out about Boko Haram, the terrorist group responsible for kidnapping hundreds of school girls, which opposes Western education - and education of any kind for women.
In this ConsciousSHIFT Show, Julie Ann and Mina will explore the reality of terrorism and human slave trade worldwide, and the role that NGOs play in creating safe haven, economic stability and inclusive growth around the globe.

A former recording star/musician and model, Mina Chang is now Chief Executive Officer and President of Linking the World International, which provides humanitarian aid and sustainable growth programs
and support in more than 40 countries worldwide.

As the eldest child of two Salvation Army Commanding Officers, Mina was immersed in inner-city social programs and world mission projects and got a first-hand look at how these efforts can save and change lives. Her childhood exposed her to the entire economic spectrum around the world.

As a child, she did not see poverty-stricken children of disaster areas as any different from herself, but she instinctively knew they needed help.

As a graduate of the University of the Nations, Mina studied development and aid practices with the goal of one day dedicating her life to becoming a full-time aid worker.

Through her experience working with large NGOs and development projects around the world, she witnessed communities taken from one cycle of poverty straight into another cycle of dependence on humanitarian aid. Mina was determined to continue her career with an organization that was in alignment with her belief that in order to break cycles of poverty, programs must scale capacity to foster resilience of local markets.

Mina has personally been involved in the disaster response operations to the earthquake and cholera outbreaks in Haiti, the tsunami in Asia, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and they Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. She has worked in some of the world’s most dangerous slum communities such as Kibera in Kenya and Citi Soliel in Haiti.

Mina’s giving spirit and dedication to philanthropy have earned her widespread recognition. She was named 2012 CBS Humanitarian of the Year on the nationally televised Women that Soar Awards.

Today, Mina continues to propel Linking the World forward with a global vision for the future and a deep passion for helping others by relieving suffering and breaking cycles of poverty.

In both her work and life she has committed herself to being a bridge builder, emphasizing the importance of making connections and recognizing similarities. “When [Linking the World] goes into a country, we focus on helping in a way that can be sustainable,”
Mina says. “It doesn’t do any good if we step in,
help, and then disappear.”

Mike Dilbeck believes COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP - when someone moves beyond their fears and intervenes in a situation - is a revolution ... a movement.

A movement away from the shame, regret and guilt we all feel from being bystanders to any injustice or wrongdoing. A movement towards a whole new world where we are standing up, stepping in, and speaking out against inappropriate, abusive, and unhealthy behaviors. A movement based on a creed that challenges us, inspires us, and moves us to action.

Mike - the founder of RESPONSE ABILITY - The Revolution for Courageous Leadership (raproject.org) - believes in our ability to respond to bullying, sexual harassment and abuse, violence, fraud/corruption, cheating, discrimination, hazing, and other social situations by going beyond our fears and demonstrating courage in momentary choices. — For colleagues. For family. For friends. For strangers. — In organizations. In business. In community. In life.

With Julie Ann on ConsciousSHIFT, Mike will share how the COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP movement is a community of ordinary people who act as catalysts for extraordinary change. A massive change in the way people treat and support each other. The kind of change that creates a world of security and acceptance. Of respect, fairness and dignity for all. Of people knowing that they matter — that each of us matters.

Across the globe, we witness stories filled with the shame and regret from not intervening in a moment of need. Each story points to the pain we carry with us for the rest of our lives ... pain that determines whether we will ever stick our neck out again. Pain that impacts our own confidence and self-esteem.

Join Julie Ann and Mike to discover how COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP moves us past this pain and gives us permission to go from passive to powerful.
