The Aware Show

How many of us feel like there’s just not enough time in the day? Wouldn’t you love to control your experience of time, even stretching it to feel like there’s more hours in the day? Well, it may be possible, according to our guest Lisa Broderick. She is the author of the brand-new book, “All the Time in the World,” and today she shares her secrets about perception, physics, and the psychology of the human construct of time. She also shares a meditation process which she finds extremely helpful for creating your own reality. Info: https://allthetimebook.com/

Whether you want to be a writer, painter, architect, entrepreneur, or business leader, developing creative ideas is the factor that differentiates the extraordinary from the common. On the show today to elaborate on this premise is Whitney Freya, author of the book, “The Artist Within: A Guide to Becoming Creatively Fit.”  She’ll talk to Lisa about the principles that underlie the aesthetics of design,  how to strengthen your own creative ability, and how to turn that ability into reality. Whitney Freya is a spiritual teacher who is devoted to helping people use art making as a spiritual practice. Whitney works with art as a creative energy medium and powerful portal to connect to the subconscious and Source energy, allowing for new healing insights and personal growth. She is considered a muse for guidance in ways to tap into creativity as a pure language of our souls. She is also a mother, an author, a motivational speaker, and a creative entrepreneur.

Is it possible that cultural beliefs can affect our health and longevity? Clinical neuropsychologist and founder of Biocognitive science, Dr. Mario Martinez, believes it does! He lectures worldwide on how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity more than genetics. In today’s interview he discusses ideas such as how our immune systems have their own moral system and how resilience has an immune-boosting factor. He also considers how archetypal wounds affect our DNA and RNA and can be passed through the generations.  His research demonstrates how thoughts and their biological expression coemerge within a cultural history, even as current science continues to divide mind and body, and ignore the influence cultural contexts have on the process of health, illness, and aging. Cultures that view growing older as positive are associated with increased wisdom and have higher numbers of centenarians living healthier lives than cultures that view aging as a process of inevitable deterioration. He also teaches how joy requires sufficient self-esteem to accept it without self-sabotage. He is the author of "The MindBody Code." Learn more about his field of “biocognition” in today’s interview.

If you or someone you know has issues with anger or managing their emotions, this is the interview for you! Lisa talks with anger-management expert Ian Brennan about how to have more self-control.  Learn what drives anger and what may lie underneath it, how drug use affects this dynamic, and how you can deal with anyone in a way that’s safe, brief, and rewarding for both people. Brennan has taught classes on anger management since 1993 and has brought his patented high-energy, lightning-speed delivery presentations to more than 100,000 people across the USA.  During his 15+ years on staff in locked emergency-psychiatric facilities in Oakland, CA (the job rated as the most dangerous in CA for assault), his teachings spread by word-of-mouth until he was soon regarded as an expert on the topics of anger management, conflict resolution, solution-oriented communication, and violence prevention.

We’ve all heard the expression, “Ignorance is bliss,” but what if the truth was just the opposite? Professor Robert Thurman, the preeminent scholar and interpreter of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for the modern world, believes that “Wisdom is Bliss” and in fact, that’s the name of his latest book. Professor Thurman is a very close friend of HH Dalai Lama and today he discusses deep ideas about mindfulness and presence and  leads us on a joyful exploration into the nature of reality through Buddha’s threefold curriculum of “super-education.” He invites us to shift our attention of suffering to know we are part of the bigger flow of life. He asks us to manage our mind and thoughts through meditation, awareness,  and compassion. He believes by cultivating intuition, and coming from a perspective of neutrality, we can all attain a more peaceful state. 

Thurman is Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University as well as Co-Founder and President of Tibet House US in service of HH Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet. He is a leading worldwide lecturer on Tibetan Buddhism, passionate activist for the plight of the Tibetan people,  and skilled translator of Buddhist texts. Info: tibethouse.us

Is it scientifically possible to consider what happens in the Afterlife?  It is a natural question to ponder what happens after we die, and scientists have been studying this phenomenon for decades, attempting to bridge the divide between science and faith. Our guest today is Mark Anthony who is well-known as the “Psychic Lawyer.” Traditionally trained at Oxford, Mark was a practicing trial attorney who also acknowledged his gifts as a psychic and medium. His latest book is “The Afterlife Frequency: The Scientific Proof of Spiritual Contact and How That Awareness Will Change Your Life” where he deeply studies what happens after the cessation of consciousness from a neuroscience and physics perspective. In this discussion, Mark offers hope for those in grief, experiencing PTSD or guilt, or from a loved one’s suicide or homicide. He shares very personal stories of how he overcame grief as well. Info: afterlifefrequency.com
