Diagnosed with ovarian cancer at twenty-three, Bri. Maya was given two months to live. Her doctors' advice: die painlessly with heavy dosages of morphine. Instead, in the middle of winter, she left her career as a popular fashion designer in New York City and began several months of intensive meditation and holistic nutrition alone in a remote Vermont cabin. By Spring, her health and vitality had been restored. Inspired by dramatic visions and dreams of her family and ancestors, Bri. Maya became a student of one of India's few living masters of the traditional Vedas. Today, healthy in body and spirit, she devotes herself to teaching the wisdom practices of the Vedas to help others heal emotional and spiritual discomfort, dis-ease, and physical illness.

One of the greatest gifts as a human is the ability to choose how to live your life. "Living on purpose" means doing what truly matters to you in alignment with your values and beliefs. We need practical ways to transform daily challenges into vehicles of spiritual growth,  

Dan Millman, author of "The Peaceful Warrior," applies timeless principles to questions about metaphysics, destiny and free will, control and surrender, goal-making,  priority setting, and simplifying life.

Lucid dreams are when you know that you’re dreaming while you’re asleep.  You’re aware that the events flashing through your brain aren’t really happening. But the dream feels vivid and real. You may even be able to control how the action unfolds, as if you’re directing a movie in your sleep.  Studies suggest that about half of people may have had at least one lucid dream.

Dr Keith Hearne is a British psychologist and the first person to create scientific proof of lucid dreaming in the laboratory via his ocular-signalling technique, in 1975. Keith Hearne discovered (in his PhD research, completed in 1978) a way of enabling lucid-dream subjects in the sleep-lab to signal out from within the dream by making coded eye-movements – so circumventing the profound bodily paralysis of dreaming (REM) sleep, which had previously prevented such communication. Lucid dreams are an unusual type of dream in which you become perfectly conscious, with full critical faculties, within the dream state. This advance opened a huge new area of dream research, into ‘inner space’.

 Groundbreaking  evidence of the connection between health and an array of spiritual beliefs and practices, including prayer, attending religious services, meditation, and faith in God. Drawing on his own and other published studies, Dr. Levin shows how religion's emphasis on healthy behaviors and supportive relationships influences one's overall health and how the optimism and hopefulness of those who profess faith promote the body's healing responses. 

 Jeff Levin, Ph.D. Biomedical Scientist, Religious Scholar, and Author. Dr. Levin was the first scientist to systematically review the research literature on religion and health, and the first scientist funded by the NIH to conduct research on the topic. His studies have pioneered basic research in the epidemiology of religion and on the impact of religion on the physical and mental health and general well-being of older adults.

In a personal sense, a paradigm shift defines a fundamental change in how you see the world. Changing a personal paradigm opens up a range of new lifelines for your personal and professional growth, presenting you with more opportunities than before. Interaction with other people that have different ideas and skilled ways to communicate those ideas is the only way to get a paradigm shift, by the way.

In this interview Sun Bear addresses how we have abused the earth and what he sees as the consequences of that abuse will be. He shares prophecies, some may seem rather far out but many have already happened , and he advises us all to be prepared - for this is the beginning of the significant earth changes. Whether you perceive his vision as mythology, story telling or prophecy he provides a compelling argument that - which we now know as global warming requires a new path forward for humanity and our relationship to the planet.

Sun Bear, a teacher of Chippewa descent, was the founder and medicine chief of the Bear Tribe.  Sadly, Sun Bear passed away in 1992 but he was a world-renowned lecturer and teacher and the author and co-author of eight books - perhaps best known for his 1980 book “The Medicine Wheel". He also was the publisher of the Wildfire magazine and founder of the World Earth Fund.

Dennis McAuliffe Jr. grew up believing that his Osage Indian grandmother, Sybil Bolton, had died an early death in 1925 from kidney disease. But sixty-six years later, he learns by chance that the cause was a gunshot wound. Investigating the circumstances, he soon finds himself peeling away the layers of a suppressed nightmare chapter of American history: driven by the greed for oil. .The Deaths of Sybil Bolton reintroduces us to a people whose story has been literally torn from the volumes of our nation's history. His book "The Deaths of Sybil Bolton" reintroduces us to native people whose story has been literally torn from the volumes of our nation's history.

All of the ancient stonecraft seen in Incan and Egyptian monuments and stoneware show smooth and slick surfaces, which means the rock was not processed in the manner that previously thought. A geologist  describes the nature of these ancient stone artifacts, Professor Ivan Watkins, assigned at the Department of Earth Sciences, at St. Cloud University in Minnesota, says that the primary indicator of how a stone was processed or 'worked' is the condition of the surface of the material at the microscopic level.  During his investigation, it was found that Incan and Egyptian stonemasonry had similar workmanship, indicating that the same technology was available across both nations at the time.

Because hard igneous rocks are extremely tough to cut, a mechanical and physical method of cutting them would leave uneven mineral surfaces because the rock would naturally crack along low angles if it was hammered.  Because stones like granite contain a mix of minerals with varying degrees of hardness, force applied to the stone's surface ( hammering, grinding, polishing with abrasives ) would cause the weaker planes to crack naturally and the tougher parts to keep together.

Consulting with geologist David Lindroth, at the US Bureau of Mines, Twin Cities Research Center, they both found that a focused laser, 100 watts of power, focused at an area 2mm in circular footprint can cut through any rock, and repeated passes using the same power can cut any stone down to size.  The light cutting through stone is called thermal disaggregation.
