    #72 - Healing Trauma with Ann Hince

    #72 - Healing Trauma with Ann Hince

    When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead face down in their bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface. 
    It took one 15 minute session with a strange technique to remove the charge from that event and be able to tell the story with no emotion. That one session set her on a journey to not only release the trauma from past memories, but to get beyond that, into the subconscious mind to release tension stored deep in her body, simply using the power of awareness.

    She has found that seeking truth and accepting feelings, is the key to inner peace.

    Once we change our inside, our outside changes. 

    Ann developed the ability to see inside her body and release physical tension stored in her connective tissue, using solely the focus of her mind. She has x-rays to show physical changes resulting from this inner work - including changing the alignment of her eye sockets, the straightening of her neck, the centering of her lower jaw, and the growth of her tooth roots. She has also grown 1/2 an inch at the age of 55. 

    Ann wants us all to know that we have this incredible power within us, it just takes going further with practices that you may already be doing.

    Ann has a YouTube channel where she shares her journey, and explains the connection between the physical and the spiritual. Her book, A Pathway to Insight, details her journey and breaks down the steps she took to attain what she calls Insight, or the ability to see within the body.

    #70 - Bird of Paradise author Emily Johnson

    When Emily was 13, her mother was diagnosed with advanced stage Ovarian Cancer. Shortly after, her mother began writing the novel, Bird of Paradise.

    For years her mother had lost herself in a world of creation, never letting anyone read what she'd written. Sadly, in December of 2012, after years of recurrences, setbacks, surgeries, and rounds of chemotherapy, she passed away at the age of 63 . Bird of Paradise was left unfinished.

    Shortly after her passing, Emily found a letter from her, with a copy of the unfinished manuscript and one request - that she finish the story for her.

    #68 - Art as a Super Power w/ Michaell Magrutsche

    #68 - Art as a Super Power w/ Michaell Magrutsche

    Michael Magrutsche  is a creativity/art researcher that looks for art/creativity's true values outside of any system.  He believes art and creativity raise the awareness of our limitless human potential instead of instilling limitations with man-made systems.

    He believes humans need something very different right now because we are in a consciousness-crisis. There is nothing more to do but to become conscious- to become the best YOU and therefore become limitlessness. 

    Understand how to use man-made systems adequately for WE are the priority. Humans relinquish their potential to man-made systems like technology, economy, religion, etc.

    Why do we feel incompetent to talk about art? Because art becomes trapped by the system.

    Michaell is an Austrian-Californian multimedia Artist, educator, author of 5 art-related books, podcaster, coach, creative advisor and former Newport Beach CA arts commissioner.

    #55- Us & Them - The Deadly Division

    #55- Us & Them - The Deadly Division

    We create hate. We create separation. Is it skin color we fear? Eye color? The country your from? No, it's the idea that someone is going to take something away from us. It's the belief that we will be made to feel small(or smaller). So we hate what's different from us. It's what we hold onto and pass down. It's what we fear within us. It's our own belittling voice.

    What if love were passed down? Empathy? Kindness?
