Awakening to the Truth of Who You Are with Laurie Keene
Laurie Keene is an author, international teacher and speaker of spirituality, personal transformation and the evolution of human consciousness. She has spent three decades as a leader in the mindfulness movement. We discuss Laurie's personal journey of healing, the importance of discovering one’s passion in life and the meaning and process of awakening. We consider what multidimensionality means, how the aura is structured and how this factors into developing high sense perception (HSP) or extrasensory perception (ESP). Laurie explains how all energetic blockage shows up in the body, that trauma and suffering are doorways to freedom, and what obstacles stand between us and finding our divine purpose. She shares her story of awakening, the role of grace in enlightenment and what she calls "learning to follow the soul". She describes how we can all remember that we are all that is. Laurie is a Brennan Healing Science Practitioner and teacher, a Living Practice Mentor, Core Energetic therapist and Continuum teacher. Working side-by-side with Barbara Brennan for over 25 years, she was Dean of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing from 1993-2016. Laurie is author of "Awakening to the Truth of Who You Are” (2017), and is currently at work on her second book, "The Multi-Dimensional Self". She now offers her expertise as a board member and senior faculty at the Brennan school. Her teachings are grounded in deep compassion for the human condition arising from her own very human life and direct experiences of awakening. She has taught throughout the United States and Europe as well as Canada, Mexico, Israel, and Japan.www.lauriekeene.comEnjoyed the episode?

Exploring Magical Consciousness with Dr. Susan Greenwood
Dr. Susan Greenwood is a renowned author, lecturer and shamanic practitioner in the fields of magic, anthropology and consciousness. She specializes in magic as an altered mode of awareness, well-known for her fieldwork with British witches, druids, and shamanic practitioners. A past lecturer and Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London, she completed her PhD on British magic in 1997. We discuss how she defines magical consciousness, the importance of the experiential in relation to the theoretical, and academia’s response to subjectivity. Susan talks with us about working with altered states of consciousness, shamanic extraction versus journeying, the imagination as a doorway to other realities and the art of walking the dimensions. We talk about shamanism as humanity's first type of spiritual experience and the importance of the concept of a 'whole soul' to our health, healing and well-being. She discusses the danger of Western arrogance and the limitations of what is currently seen as knowledge. She places emphasis on the wisdom of indigenous cultures and how critical it is for us to integrate this knowledge in order to re-envision our world. Susan is perhaps best known for her writing on consciousness and magic, The Anthropology of Magic (Berg, 2009; Routledge, 2020) and her collaborative work with neuroscientist Erik Goodwyn, Magical Consciousness: An Anthropological and Neurobiological Approach (Routledge, 2017), and Developing Magical Consciousness: A Theoretical and Practical Guide for the Expansion of Perception (Routledge, 2020). She was previously a lecturer and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sussex, where she taught courses and workshops on shamanic consciousness and altered states of consciousness for many years. Susan’s research focus is now on exploring alternative modes of knowledge through storytelling, and in particular the work of William Blake.Enjoyed the episode?

The Internal Causes of Disease with Peter Mole
Peter Mole is one of the UK's leading practitioners of acupuncture, the Dean at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading and a founding member of the Executive Committee of the British Acupuncture Council. Peter’s particular interest lies in how Chinese medicine understands how people’s internal worlds - especially their emotions - affect their physical and psychological health. He states that “Western medicine is a great system yet it lacks an understanding of how stress and distress affect people’s health. However, this is one of Chinese medicine’s greatest strengths". We discuss the role of constitution in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), the difference between prana & qi, diagnostic methods in acupuncture and how Peter connects to and tracks the flow of qi through the needle. We cover the vital role of the emotions in health, and his experience of physical versus psycho-emotional orientations to treatment. Peter shares his thoughts on the value of finding meaningful work and loving relationships and the importance of building resilience in mind, body and emotions. He contextualizes the term Spirit in Chinese, shares a little of his personal travels in India and the importance of living in harmony with nature and the Tao. Peter is the author of "Acupuncture for Body, Mind and Spirit", directed at patients and prospective students, and co-author of the major textbook "Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture". He has lectured extensively in Europe, Israel, and the USA. Peter received an M.A. in Modern History from Oxford University. He has been practising acupuncture since 1978.www.wolvercoteacupunctureclinic.co.ukEnjoyed the episode? Rate & review on Apple Podcasts Follow on Spotify or YouTube Explore your roots.

Connecting to Who You Are with Michael Oruch
Joining us today is President Emeritus of the Zero Balancing Board of Directors, Michael Oruch, an established Zero Balancing teacher and practitioner based in New York City. Michael views Zero Balancing as a vehicle for health, wellness and positive change both personally and collectively, and was inspired to teach Zero Balancing (or ZB) following years of study and tutelage with the modality Founder, Dr. Fritz Smith. We discuss how Zero Balancing uses fulcrums to clear vibration held in the bone, joints and the energy field of clients, how working with bone connects to our ancestors and why releasing held tension in the body catalyzes self-reorganisation. We address the key ZB concept of "interface" - how the practitioner navigates the boundary between structure and energy through touch. Michael shares his insights regarding how healing is about accessing that which is hidden, as we free ourselves from suffering and resolve trauma in the body and the mind. Key aspects of Zero Balancing are discussed including expanded states of consciousness and what it means to “hurt good’. Interestingly, we explore how a touch-based modality can be used for remote healing through the use of surrogates. Michael has taught Zero Balancing extensively in both the US and internationally, and has additionally spent many years studying Qigong, Tai Chi and related forms, which he has taught at New York University. He has made significant contributions to the ZB community as a Mentor Faculty Advisor, through teacher trainings, and serving on various committees. He has also personally developed three Zero Balancing classes and two Zero Balancing training DVD's. Michael believes Zero Balancing can help a practitioner to be more present and clear in the world, with themselves, and each person they contact.www.mozbnyc.comEnjoyed the episode?
