Walking the Spiritual Path With Practical Feet:
Ten Visionaries Who Make A Difference
Teleseries

Meredith Young Sowers - "Healing Your Heart: what medical science doesn't yet know"

There have been many advances in the healing of heart disease. The medical miracles of stents, by-pass surgeries and valve replacements have saved millions of lives. But what else can we learn about our hearts that can keep our hearts healthy so we don't need these interventions. We certainly understand that what we eat is important and how much we exercise matters. And yet beyond positive thinking, is there a spiritual tool box of information and practices that we can apply to keep our hearts healthy so we never need catastrophic interventions or to encourage rejuvenation of our hearts and blood vessels?

Join me for a fascinating journey into the power of spiritual healing and the tools that can teach us how to stay heart-healthy.

Angeles Arrien - "Walking the Mystical Path with Mystical Feet"

Thirty years ago, I began doing workshops that I titled “Walking the Mystical Path With Practical Feet”, as a way to address the illusion many of us have, that the internal and external worlds can only be lived or experienced separately. It was my hope, as it is now years later, that we can dissolve the artificial splits or separations that we have created between work and family; personal and professional; mind and heart; body and spirit; internal and external, just to name a few of the primary dualities. Ken Wilbur reminds us in his work, “The Holographic Paradigm and other Paradoxes” that “The transcendental essence of the great religions had as its core the notion of advaita or advaya, non-duality.” This conversation attempts to address the universal processes or life experiences which drive us toward wholeness of being (our natural state); and offers us ways we can hold paradoxes, rather than move into isolation, polarity, or separation, when we face changes or transitions in our lives.

Dr. Linda Haltinner - "Healing Expectations"

We create expectations based on what we believe is possible—yet a belief is just a thought that we practice over and over. Active expectation is very different from magical thinking. Dr. Haltinner will talk about active expectation and the journey of healing, focusing on training our thoughts to support our body’s innate tendency toward wellness.

Dr. Linda Haltinner has been a practicing chiropractic physician since 1981. She is certified in Functional Medicine and in Biological Medicine, and serves on the national Biological Medicine Advisory Board. In 1999, she founded a non-profit collaborative clinic in Westminster, VT. Sojourns Community Health Clinic is one of the few Biological Medicine clinics in the United States. The clinic is a manifestation of her walking her spiritual path with practical feet; a dream of possibility; an integrative healing center where good medicine, centered in spirit, tempered by love, can begin to make a change in what people come to expect as good health care. Dr. Haltinner’s passion is healthcare model change. She believes that changing the way we look at our bodies can change the way we think, and that changing the way we think can change the world. www.sojourns.org

Ken Shelton - "The Leader Within"

We are conditioned, virtually programmed, to look to our "leaders" in government, business, education, and religion for direction, protection, and providence. In doing so, we may forfeit the fortitude that comes from self-reliance, from cultivating the hero and leader within, and from a proactive, positive response to negative conditions.

We need not be victims to our conditions and conditioning. By choosing our response and moving forward with resolve and a sense of mission toward a clear vision or goal, we experience self-leadership, the firm foundation for leading teams and organizations.

Ken Shelton is the founder, CEO and editor-in-chief of Executive Excellence, a 21-year-old leadership and publishing firm. Since 1984, Ken has served as editor and publisher of Leadership Excellence magazine, the world’s only monthly publication dedicated to developing leaders of teams and organizations; Personal Excellence, the magazine of selfleadership; Sales and Marketing Excellence, the magazine of market leadership; and a new launch Health and Fitness Excellence. For over two decades, he has edited and published the best thinking in the world on every aspect of personal, team, and organizational leadership. www.LeaderExcel.com

Susie Hastings "What Is Your Life Telling You? Looking for Synchronisities"

What is your life telling you? Do you believe the saying that our outer reality reflects our inner state of being? Granted, there are some circumstances beyond our control but there are far more where we can manifest our own destiny. Here's Susie's litmus test...where there is synchoronisity, we know we are on purpose. Where, on the other hand, we have to work harder at what doesn't work, perhaps we are not. In this conversation , Susie will explore what our life is telling us and how we can learn, experience and therefore create more of what we want in our lives - and less of what we don't.
