Reality Reimagined with Gale West: Expand Your Mind ~ Elevate Your Spirit ~ Transform Your World

Nobel Prize winner and father of quantum physics, Max Plank once famously said, “All the physical matters are comprised of vibrations.” In other word, everything in the universe vibrates. Vibrating waves are the very foundation of reality. If this is the case, then we are basically vibrating waves and everyone and everything around us is too.

So, what does that mean to us and our relationship with our world? In this final episode of Reality Reimagined, I had author and renowned scientist at the institute of Noetic Sciences, Garret Yount, PhD, as my guest to share with us the implications of Max Plank’s quote. We discussed why certain places feel better than others. How our energy affects both ourselves, the field and those around us. Just what are vibes? Can we consciously change vibes? Raise vibes? And much more.

Join us at on December 26th at 10:00am pacific 1:00 eastern for this incredibly important show on why vibes matter. You will be glad you did. As always, you can hear this at any time on all podcast channels or watch it on YouTube.

The Institute of Noetic Science was founded fifty years ago by Edward Mitchell, one of the first people to walk on the moon. He had a mystical experience of oneness coming back from the moon while watching the earth rise from the darkness. He was so touched by that experience that he decided to create the institute to further explore our connected through science. You can find out more by going to Noetic.org

Men today face new pressures at work. The long-overdue reckoning over sexism, racism and other forms of bias in recent years has heightened scrutiny on men, to the point many can feel blamed and shamed simply by being male. These recent pressures build on long-standing stresses on men, including expectations to be successful, stoic, and "self-made." Among the impacts of all the pressures are mental health challenges--which continue to carry a stigma for many men. 

Yet this is also a time of new possibilities. When we examine and evolve from confined, outdated beliefs about what a man must be, we free men–and everyone around them–to thrive as never before. Men can better embrace 21st skills such as collaboration, emotional intelligence and leading with authenticity. We can choose an inclusive version of success that is about elevating those around us even as we advance ourselves. The result is healthier, happier men who are better, more inclusive colleagues and leaders. 

I’m excited to have Ed Frauenheim on my show. He has devoted his life to supporting men to have new options for living. Together, we explored the effect patriarchy has had on men, in particular, and a world beyond it. As men are freed, we are all freed.

How would you like something that promised greater happiness, a stronger immune system, more blood flow to the brain,  greater well-being and more? Sounds too good to be true, huh?  Welcome to the power of a gratitude practice!

I’m so excited to feature my friend and gratitude expert, Deb Hawkins, at the Café on Thanksgiving.  It’s the day we Americans, we supposedly come together to  give thanks for the blessings in our lives. (I know not everyone here is American) Beyond the turkey and pumpkin pie, there is a power in having a gratitude practice that is intentional and daily.

Struggling with depression a number of years ago, Deb began a gratitude practice to help lift her out of what seemed like a black hole. While doing that she realized that each person has their own gratitude power buttons. These are qualities that have great meaning to you. For example, while taking Deb’s workshop, I realized that one of mine is beauty. By becoming aware that beauty is a power button, I can turn it on throughout my day. It totally shifts things for me.

Deb will share her three secrets to creating a personal intentional gratitude practice, so you can begin to bring this incredible gift into your life right now.

Join us at the Café of Delights Thanksgiving Day at 10am pacific, 1:00pm eastern.

Happy Thanksgiving!

In this episode of Reality Reimagined, I’ve invited financial advisor, Suzanne Porske, as my guest to explore more deeply into our relationship with money and how can we shift our consciousness to actively co-create with the Divine. What is the frequency we are sending into the field? Does it matter?

What I have found, in my 40 years of experience helping people step into their brilliance, is that most of us are more comfortable with constriction than with expansion. Most of us have a set point to happiness, which translates to a set point to wealthy wellbeing.

Together, Suzanne and I explored simple ways you can raise your glass ceiling to happiness, wealth, and living in joy.

Join us for this lively, informative conversation designed to delight and inspire. As always, you can find the show on YouTube, and all podcast channels.

I am so excited to have my friend and mentor, Dick Schwartz PhD, creator of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) method, on Reality Reimagined. Together we explored societal legacy burdens, in particular, male domination, and its effect both men and women,  humanity, and the planet. How did they come to be? How to heal? And a vision of the world healed and whole.
Dr. Schwartz explained how the IFS framework sees each person as having multiple internal "parts," some of which may carry burdens of trauma from societal oppression. By working with and healing these parts, we can free ourselves from the grip of internalized patriarchal conditioning.
We can, then, better understand how patriarchy has caused immense harm—not only to women, who have been subjugated and marginalized, but also to men, who have been taught to suppress their emotional selves and adopt harmful ideas of masculinity. As these burdens are unburdened and healed, we can embrace more balanced and empowered ways of living.
 We explored how patriarchy has maintained its dominance over time, but also a vision of the future. Using the metaphor of a bird with two wings—one male, one female—patriarchy has long kept one wing (the feminine) weak, limiting humanity's ability to "fly" to its full potential. However, in a future where both wings are strong and equal, humanity will be able to soar to new heights.
This vision calls for the empowerment of all genders, allowing each person to express their full range of human potential without being confined by outdated societal structures. When both the masculine and feminine energies are honored and balanced, humanity can move beyond the traumas of patriarchy and build a more just and compassionate world where the dignity of all is honored.

I had the pleasure of taking a watercolor class at the coast with Robert Dvořák last month. I was struck by his simple passion for every one of us to create something beautiful in our own unique way. It didn’t matter how frustrated we got at what, in our mind, didn’t look “perfect.” He saw our potential as creative people and gently invited it to be expressed.

Creativity is one of the aspects of our true Self, yet so many people have gotten disconnected from it. It is where our inner child lives, where our connection to the Divine Creator lives. How is it that we have lost that connection?

Robert Dvořák is an advocate for adventure, travel and art as a gateway to reclaiming our creative self. Image is our first language. By taking time to truly see the world around us, we can make each moment precious. Beyond the selfie or phone photo, looking and drawing, however simple, we begin to stop and take in the beauty of our life experiences.

Join us as on this incredible adventure as we explore power of beauty, art, travel and creative expression in all its forms. You are the beloved child of the Divine Creator. It is your birth right to create!

I met John Perkins in Ecuador on journey, with the Pachamama Alliance, into the jungles to meet with the Achuar, a dreaming tribe. They wake up each morning way before dawn to drink tea, purge and tell their dreams to each other. The messages from their dreams informs them of the actions to take that day.

More than 50 years ago, John was in Peace Corps in Ecuador. He was saved from dying by an Achuar shaman. In the process of his healing, he saw how his perception of reality, or his dream of truth, was what caused him to go the brink of death. In exchange for his return to health, he became an apprentice to the shaman.

Over the next years, while a chief economist for the world bank, he continued to study with shamans all over the world. His work as chief economist inspired his New York Times bestselling book, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, a must read. Plus, numerous other books, including those on his experience as a shaman.

In this riveting interview, John invites you to explore what is your dream for you and the world? How do our individual and collective dreams create our reality? What is the dream of our western world? Are we unconsciously living that dream?
It was the dreams of the Achuar that inspired them to reach out from deep in the jungle to people in the West, inviting us to wake up from our dream. Will you wake up and choose the dream you want to be living and dream a new dream for humanity?
Join us to be inspired and filled with hope for a new reality on Reality Reimagined.

(The Pachamama Alliance is an organization founded by John, and Lynne and Bill Twist. It is dedicated to protecting the sacred head waters of the Amazon by empowering Indigenous people of the preserve their lands and culture, and inspiring a world that works for everyone: an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, socially just human presence on this planet.

In this riveting interview you will have the opportunity to discover the wisdom techniques that high achievers have used for centuries. From Archemides to J.K. Rowling to Nobel Prize winners, all have used these techniques which are simple but profound.

With the former Dean of Avila University, Dr. Maria Hunt, director of consciousness studies, Denis Greene set out to study the profiles of 36 high achievers vs. 36 random citizens. Using portable EEG machines, they found that the high achievers had three cognitive strategies in common that helped them replicate their connection to wisdom and brilliance.

They then went back in history to look at 100 historical figures and found the same techniques in common!

In addition to sharing the research, Greene also shares how the act of meditating daily since age 14 has led to a life of miracles and adventure. This includes his connection with the Institute of Noetic Science which has been scientifically studying consciousness for the past 50 years.

Our connection to the earth and nature, as a living being worthy of protection and love, is more important than ever before. While this has been the way of indigenous people for generations, it is something that we in the west have sadly lost. As fires rage and violent weather becomes more common, how do we come back to the ancient wisdom that our fast paced world of technology has replaced?

Mare Cromwell is a nature mystic. She has been communicating with what she calls, Mother Gaia, for a number of years. It is a deep connection that is beyond words, one of mutual love and caring. Love for all creation. As we begin to feel into the love that nature has for us, the earth, the trees, those beings who are beyond what we see, we can reconnect to something greater than we can ever image. It can feed our souls, our hearts and our bodies.
