Cannabis expert Kerri Conner joins me to talk about her new book 420 Meditations: Enhance Your Spiritual Practice With Cannabis.

Cannabis has emerged from the dark shadows to be acknowledged by the medical community as an alternative to pharmaceutical pills. In addition to the body and mind relaxing, cannabis can be used to deepen your meditation practice. Dosing is a bit tricky; however, you can discover what is yours. It is truly an individual choice. Kerri's most poignant advice is to begin low and slow.

The 420 meditations are designed to enhance your spiritual journey and integrate the profound feelings, healing energies, and wise insight of cannabis. The book provides daily prompts for contemplation, self-inquiry, and reflection, as well as mantras, breathwork techniques, and more.

In addition to daily cannabis meditations, this book provides meditations corresponding to moon phases, sabbats, elements, chakras, and auras. With tips for reaching peak experiences and integrating all your senses into your practice, this book supports your quest for a life of mindfulness and peace. Remember to begin slow and low.

Jen Ward joins me to share The SFT Lexicon: Spiritual Freedom Technique. The SFT Lexicon provides a roadmap and an easy-to-follow guidebook for anyone seeking to transform and uplift themselves as a stepping stone to transcendence, higher consciousness, and enlightenment.

The book shows the reader how to apply the simple yet immensely powerful Spiritual Freedom Technique (SFT) to resolve whatever issue or issues might be preventing them from experiencing joy, love, abundance, freedom, health, success, and wholeness.

Jen shared that she is the reincarnation of Russian Spiritualist Madame Blavatsky. Check out the photos and judge for yourself.

Jen Ward

Madame Blavatsky

Tapping was first observed in the practices of the Australian Aborigines. In its current form, it was given to Jen Ward by a group of spiritual masters known as the Adepts. Its power lies in how it bypasses the ego to communicate directly with the higher self, thereby overcoming perhaps the most significant impediment to transformational growth.

We talk about

Balancing male and female energyThe expunging negativity protocolHow to dissolve partnerships The peanut butter and jelly protocolDiscovering your core issuesJen gives a live session on how to use the protocol

Jen demonstrates how the protocol works by giving me a reading on the air. I rarely allow others to provide me with a reading. But, she was spot on with her assessment, and I felt the healing energy immediately and continued working with the fantastic protocols in the book. So, if you are wondering what the process is all about, she gives a very detailed presentation.

Jen Ward is a dynamic healer, executive coach, and group facilitator.  She has devoted her life to helping others unlock their true potential.  She is also an accomplished writer and poet.

Jen’s extraordinary and challenging personal journey has gifted her with a unique ability to perceive energy and read akashic records.  This, along with her Spiritual Freedom Tapping techniques, allows Jen to work with clients to see and remove the blockages to happiness and effectiveness within any individual.

Jen is the author of 19 books, notably including “The SFT Lexicon,” “Enlightenment Unveiled,” and “Emerging from the Mist.”

Jen is the creator of the SFT Tapping protocol.   SFT tapping is different from other affirmations because it bypasses the ego.  People can repeat affirmations until they are blue in the face.  But as they say them, the ego is arguing with them the whole time, pulling up references to refute the truth of the affirmation.  The taps and how they are worded are a means to access the psyche beyond the ego’s scrutiny.

In Asking for a Pregnant Friend: 101 Answers to Questions Women Are Too Embarrassed to Ask about Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood, beloved childbirth educator, doula, and author Bailey Gaddis offers real, safe, savvy, and nonjudgmental answers to the most personal questions about pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood. And, for added support, Bailey enlisted a team of experts for up-to-the-moment scientific and professional information for many of the questions.

What is that smell? Is the fetus okay when I have sex? What should I do if I'm sad about my baby's gender? Why do I feel aroused when breastfeeding? Is it normal to be jealous of my baby? Unfortunately, women who summon the courage to ask these questions online are frequently met with unwelcome judgments or inaccurate information.

"There are thousands of us slipping away from prying eyes to scan chat rooms and forums, flip through books, and make our fingers numb with Google searches as we look for answers to the same things you came to this book wondering about," writes Bailey. "I don't want you to feel like tracking down answers is a full-time job. I want you to have all the answers in one place, from a friendly, accurate source. I also want those answers to come from a friend who would never judge or make you feel like a weirdo for asking that 'TMI' question. So…can we be friends?"

Jia Gottlieb, MD, talks about his new book aah...The Pleasure Book. Learn how the simple pleasures in your life can bring ecstasy!

In aah…The Pleasure Book  Jia Gottlieb, MD, sets out to redefine and reclaim the wisdom of pleasure as a natural resource as essential to our health and well-being as fresh air and clean water and the key to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Interweaving his own life experiences and work as a healer with insights from history, religion, philosophy, neuroscience, and mysticism, Dr. Gottlieb offers a deep and clear understanding of pleasure—what it is, what it isn’t, and why we need it. 

But the author aims to do much more than changing the way we think about pleasure. Instead, Dr. Gottlieb provides an accessible, encouraging guide to incorporate the art and practice of joy into our relationships, work, play, and everyday habits.        

What is aah... pleasure?

“Pleasure is an experience that feels good. If it fills your body with delightful sensations, evokes warm feelings in your heart and positive thoughts in your mind, brings a smile to your lips, excites, amuses or satisfies, lifts your spirits or inspires a sense of well-being, meaning, and purpose, then it’s a pleasure.  And we are biologically hardwired to seek it,” he observes.

Sounds wonderful. So, why in our pursuit of pleasure do we often end up in pain and suffering? As Dr. Gottlieb explains, it’s because we are often confused and beguiled by empty pleasures—junk food, reckless sex, greed, fame, and other ultimately unsatisfying pursuits. This dissatisfaction leaves us endlessly hungry for more, which drives overconsumption and the global crises that threaten to destroy our health and environment.

Dr. Gottlieb looks at pleasure as a prism of experiences with four levels: physical (think pleasures of the flesh), emotional (love, fun, and other prosocial feelings that make us human), mental (from the delight of learning new ideas to the satisfaction of finding our purpose), and spiritual (including ecstasy, bliss, and coming to peace with how we fit into the big picture). He distills the essence of his rich offering into the Seven Immutable Laws of Pleasure. 

We talk about

The energy of pleasureThe p,hysical, biological, cultural, and spiritual essence of feeling goodThe Pleasure /pain thresholdCultural pleasuresPleasure as a natural resourceThree gateways to paradiseThe pleasure centers

For anyone struggling with self-doubt, addiction, obesity, shame, or guilt, aah…The Pleasure Book presents a practical path to healing and the tools to transform their life joyfully. 

JIA GOTTLIEB, MD, was born to an Austrian Jewish father and Chinese mother and grew up in a white, middle-class suburb outside of Chicago. After graduating from college, he backpacked around the world for a year. During a 12-day trek in the Himalayas, he found his calling as a doctor. He received his MD from Northwestern University, completed his residency in family medicine at the Community Hospital of Sonoma County, California, and then traveled to China, Japan, and India to study acupuncture, martial arts, yoga, and other ancient practices. Shortly after returning to the States, Dr. Gottlieb established Still Mountain Clinic in Boulder, Colorado. He provides patients a unique therapeutic approach based on his extensive training in Western medicine and Eastern healing arts.

A highly respected writer, blogger, and independent scholar John Michael Greer joins me to talk bout his new book, The King In Orange: The Magical And Occult Roots of Political Power.

Magic and politics seem like unlikely bedfellows, but in the King in Orange, Greer goes beyond superficial memes and extreme partisanship to reveal the unmentionable realities that spawned the unexpected presidential victory of an elderly real-estate mogul turned reality -TV star and which continue to drive the deepening divide that is now the defining characteristic of American society.

Greer convincingly shows how two competing schools of magic were led to contend for the presidency in 2016 and details the magical war behind the campaign's scenes. Through the influence of many occult forces, from Julius Evola to chaos magicians as well as the cult of positive thinking, Greer shows that the main contenders in this magical war were the status quo magical state--as defined by the late scholar Ioan Couliano--which has repurposed the “manipulative magic” techniques of the Renaissance magi into the subliminal techniques of modern advertising, and an older, deeper, and less reasonable form of magic--the “magic of the excluded”--which was employed by chaos magicians and alt-right internet wizards, whose desires coalesced in the form of a frog avatar that led the assault against the world we knew.

Examining in detail the magical actions of Trump’s opponents, with insights on political magic from occultist Dion Fortune’s war letters, the author discusses how the magic of the privileged has functioned to keep the comfortable classes from being able to respond effectively to the populist challenge and how and why the “Magic Resistance,” which tried to turn magic against Trump, has failed.

Showing how the political and magical landscape of American society has permanently changed since the 2016 election cycle, Greer reveals that understanding the coming of the King in Orange will be a crucial step in making sense of the world for a long time to come.

John Michael Greer has added comments about the show to his website, They can be viewed here.

The Vice President of Unity Prayer Ministry, Linda Martella- Whitsett joins me in sharing how to heal yourself rather than cure a condition taken from tips in her new book This Life is Yours: Discover Your Power Claim Your wholeness and Heal Your Life.

Linda's primary message is that healing is not about something being missing, wrong, or broken about you. /healing is not a journey that culminates in a destination, but an awakening to your own wholeness and choice to live well no matter the circumstances. Healing is not a destination, not a journey, a path, a finality or endpoint: not something to strive for. Healing is an awakening to the truth that you are not "only-human" - you are a spiritual being and that means you are powerful.

Wholeness is the essential, eternal you that is one with All That Is. Your wholeness is intact and irrepressible, no matter the human conditions. "wholeness is not something you achieve: it is something you realize as you navigate through challenging times."
