Interviewing mystical scholar Andrew Harvey was a profound blessing and opportunity for me. He shares invaluable insights as a spiritual luminary dedicated to merging compassion and activism in the pursuit of healing our world, including wisdom about his book, The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism.

We explore how heartbreak and crisis can be transformed by the heart into courageous, collective action. Andrew's wisdom transcends 'time' so whenever you are listening to this, the relevance of his wisdom is profound.

The episode covers ecological and financial collapse, the dark night of the soul, the power of sacred compassion, and practical steps like forming local "networks of grace" to birth a more just & sacred world.

"The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism" is a transformative book by Andrew Harvey that combines spiritual wisdom with activism. In this work, Harvey addresses the urgent need for a shift in consciousness in the face of global crises, encouraging readers to undertake what he calls "sacred activism."

Andrew Harvey is a prominent spiritual teacher, author, and speaker known for his deep explorations into mysticism, sacred activism, and the intersection of spirituality and social justice. Born in 1952 in Southern India, he has spent decades studying and teaching various spiritual traditions, particularly focusing on Sufi, Hindu, and Christian mysticism.

I interviewed Dr Masaru Emoto in 2006 during his trip to Tampa, FL. Masaru Emoto, (July 22, 1943 – October 17, 2014) was a Japanese businessman, author and scientist who claimed that human consciousness could affect the molecular structure of water. His 2004 book The Hidden Messages in Water was a New York Times best seller. His conjecture evolved over the years, and his early work revolved around scientific hypotheses that water could react to positive thoughts and words and that polluted water could be cleaned through prayer and positive visualization.

From 1999, Emoto published several volumes of a work entitled Messages from Water, containing photographs of ice crystals and accompanying experiments such as that of the ‘rice in water’ 30 day experiment. His work was also featured in the popular film 'What the Bleep Do We Know'.

His books, groundbreaking research and photos of water crystal responding to human thoughts and intentions, fascinated me prior to meeting him. I found his work to be so profound and was fortunate to spend time with him over a few days during his visit to Florida and recorded this interview. When we met “The Hidden Messages in Water” book had only been out for a couple of years. His body of work shows an example of how our thoughts and words influence our vibrational state and the state of that which is around us.

In this interview I chatted with Ariel Garten, who is a neuroscientist, innovator, and entrepreneur. Ariel's driving purpose is to empower and help others overcome mental obstacles in order to live healthy, happy lives and reach their maximum potential. We spoke about the unique benefits and effects of meditation on the mind, the brain and overall well being.

Garten is co-founder of InteraXon, the makers of Muse: the brain sensing headband. Muse is the award-winning wearable technology that assists and trains meditation and mindfulness.

Before founding InteraXon, Ariel was not only trained as a neuroscientist and psychotherapist, but also started her own international clothing line while she worked in labs researching Parkinson’s disease and hippocampal neurogenesis.

Her creativity and entrepreneurial head combined with her fascination with the brain lead her to join forces with two like minded friends Chris and Trevor to start InteraXon. Together they founded a Silicon Valley backed startup that allowed people to control computers with their minds, the technology that sparked the creation of Muse. Her team’s technology has been featured in over 1000 media pieces, as well as was the feature showcase at the 

These days, Ariel can be found at home playing with her 2 year old or on stage across the world speaking about happiness, meditation, understanding mental health, or telling her own innovation story, consistently giving her audiences the tools they need to help them become their best selves.

EEG (electroencephalogram) technology has been a valuable tool for studying brain function and cognitive processes, and has been used to help diagnose and monitor neurological conditions and disorders. Yet, accessing this tool has often required a visit to a doctor's office or research institution.

Muse passively measures brain signals, much like a heart rate monitor senses your heartbeat, and serves as a research-grade brain fitness tool.

Muse has been tested and certified in accordance with Canadian, US, and European regulatory standards (FCC, UL, CE).

Sleep experts know the gold standard of sleep tracking is through polysomnography found in traditional sleep clinics. These tests use electrodes that measure brain waves, eye movements, muscle activity, heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels.

For our theme of 'Mental Health' month, I chatted with Dr June Leslie Wieder Author of “Song of the Spine” & “The Human Symphony” for an Interview on the mind-body connection of sound and her studies with the spine in relation to sound and wellness.

Dr. Wieder has extensively studied the relationships between sound, movement, and form, and how they relate to health and healing. A classically trained pianist, she is now studying the cello. She has been a practitioner in the health field for more than 30 years. After earning a B.Sc. in Psychology from Brooklyn College, she worked in the mental health field. She is a graduate of the Swedish Institute of Massage, and has taught medical massage in California. In addition to her studies of various forms of bodywork, she was trained in the Trager Approach® personally by Milton Trager and has been a practitioner since 1986.She obtained her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College West, and has practiced in New York and California. She maintains a popular website on structural therapy.

That question led Dr. Wieder into research on the resonance of the spine. Her studies reveal that each bone of the spine has its own tone and frequency, and that applying specific vibrational frequencies directly to the vertebrae generates a sympathetic response that activates the embedded harmonics that help maintain healthy functioning.

I interviewed Founders Kate Povondra & DJ Petz from the Happy Buddha Hemp Company in Colorado about CBD. They grow and produce the “fullest, full-spectrum CBD.” Spagyric CBD products.

Kate discovered CBD through DJ when she severely injured her back in a fall. Once very active, she was faced with crippling pain and a drastic change in her lifestyle. She was doing everything she could to find relief but what she found was fleeting- until she found CBD through DJ. As a massage therapist of 14 years, she became fascinated with what she was experiencing so she did extensive research to see what was causing these results and began using it on her massage clients to see how CBD can work with the body and help people. Once she started using it on others, she really understood what an amazing, beneficial compound CBD was.

DJ had known about CBD for a long time, he had been growing cannabis for 10 years and moved out to the North Fork Valley of Colorado to learn how to refine his technique and how to grow plants without using any harmful or toxic chemicals, which is still the norm for most cannabis. He quickly learned that great hemp starts with great soil & by using natural methods, you don’t have to sacrifice the yield of the plant to keep the quality high.

The pair started to formulate products that kept true to their values as individuals and that would help people have access to pure, clean, cost-effective CBD products. What started as a grassroots company 4 years before hemp was federally legalized, gained a popular following in Colorado. In Dec 2018 when the Farm Bill federally legalized hemp, Kate & DJ brought their company nationwide and found an overwhelmingly positive response. Through the years, they have grown a husband & wife company to a team of 5 managing partners, 44 employees and nationwide recognition of authorities in the CBD Industry. Their vales are at the core of the company and they have refused to sacrifice them for profits.

They developed a unique extraction and processing method based on these ancient techniques in partnership with a biochemist. Their goal was to create a final product that provided maximum impact and potency, and this started with a study of how CBD interacts with the body and what variations in content and delivery meant for the end user.

These interactions are powered by the body’s endocannabinoid system, a network of nerves and chemical receptors present in almost every bodily system that interact with the chemical compounds in the hemp plant. Though cannabidiol activates the largest portion of these receptors, it does not interact with all of them. Different receptors in this system are designed to achieve optimal activation with different chemical compounds, and so the inevitable conclusion is that, in order to achieve maximum impact, cannabidiol alone is not enough.

This is the “entourage effect”. It means that the compounds in CBD are most effective when taken all at once and allowed to work together within the body by maximizing activation of all parts of the endocannabinoid system. A huge focus in CBD research right now is in mapping out exactly how these interactions support each other and change the behavior of compounds inside the body and what combinations of compounds are most effective at producing certain results for health and wellness.

This is the reason to always be wary of CBD that is advertised as isolate or “pure”. Though this may sound like a good thing, what it actually means is that you’re only getting a fraction or even only 1 of the over 100 compounds from the hemp plant that can interact with the endocannabinoid system. This means that you will only experience a fraction of the effects.

Once they confirmed this, the question became how could they get as many of these compounds into our extractions as possible for maximum potency and impact. Many companies refer to this as “full-spectrum,” but analysis shows that many products that are described as such, don’t actually contain anything close to the actual full-spectrum of active hemp compounds. Kate and DJ needed to go further, they needed the “fullest, full-spectrum CBD.” That’s when they began developing their modern Spagyric CBD extraction method and their tests quickly showed that they were on the right track.

My guest Sharry Edwards is the pioneer in the study of Human BioAcoustic Biology, and Vocal Profiling. Her 30 years of research is being used at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology and Sound Health in Albany, OH. This non-profit research institute has provided supporting evidence for the ancient claims that the sounds of the voice can act as a holographic representation of health and wellness.

Named Scientist of the Year in 2001 for her work in BioAcoustic Biology by The International Association of New Science...Sharry's work is included in the prestigious Duke University Encyclopedia of New Medicine by Leonard A. Wisnecki and The Scientific Basis of Integrative Medicine, by Lucy Anderson.

She has for many years provided the leading-edge research to show the frequencies of the voice can be used to create a holographic representation of health and wellness. Her research has caught the attention of even large pharmaceutical houses, government agencies, alternative health providers and those who wish to create a better future. Recently AT&T declared that bioacoustics is the “medicine of the future”. Imagine a future in which your own voice keeps you emotionally balanced and biologically healthy.
