Podcast Description
In a world that’s moving at lightning speed, we race from commitment to commitment just trying to keep up. Our hectic lives often leave us physically and emotionally exhausted, with little time or energy for introspection and conscious living. To live a conscious life means staying awake and aware, in every moment, to what you’re thinking and feeling; to the meeting point of body, mind, and spirit; to the impact your life has on others and the environment; and to the unlimited choices, and potential, that are always present. To live a conscious life—to be awake and aware—is the path to being fully present and gloriously alive. Life is meant to be sipped and savored, not swallowed a week at a time controlled by programs based upon our past experiences, and endless “to do” lists. Slow down. Don’t be afraid to feel life. Every moment, even painful ones, have gifts of wisdom and joy to impart if we’re willing to stay conscious—fully present and open, awake and aware. In “A Conscious Life” internationally known psychotherapist, life and business coach, energy healer, and speaker, Dr Jennifer Howard, Ph.D., and her guests, will explore what it means to be awake and conscious in your daily life, in your relationships, in your spirituality, in relationship to your health and wellness, and in your work and financial life. Dr. Howard’s guests will encompass interdisciplinary perspectives and multi-faith, and a wide range of modalities, from psychology and spirituality to medicine and wellness to quantum physics science and social activism – plus much more. “A Conscious Life” is an invitation to take charge of your life, to identify and change what is getting in the way of you reaching your full potential. Even if you’re pretty happy with your life, the reward of living consciously is a continually deepening sense of wholeness, and satisfaction with life. The goal, here, isn’t perfection, but progress—greater awareness, steady growth, and lasting change.

The Blissful Chef - Interview with Christy Morgan | The Blissful Chef is the creation of Christy Morgan. That's me in the photo holding an apple…because an apple a day keeps the doctor away right? I am a vegan macrobiotic chef and cooking instructor. My business includes things like healthy cooking classes, lectures, private instruction in people's homes, consulting and corporate team building. My first cookbook Blissful Bites (available on Amazon and where books are sold) came out in September 2011 and I'm so excited to share it with you! A Little History Healthful cooking wasn’t always my passion. I got a degree in fashion design from The University of Texas then moved to Los Angeles to work in wardrobe for movies and television. Let me tell you, it was not working out so well. "Breaking into the biz" is as hard as they make it out to be. Thankfully I befriended several vegans in LA, and was shown my first PETA video, Meet Your Meat, by my dear friend Sue (who owns a vegan restaurant called Counter Culture in Austin). We made the decision to go vegan together. I had no idea then that teaching and cooking for others would become my true love in life. But after working for free in the crazy world of Hollywood and being totally unhappy, Sue suggested a culinary school in Austin to me that was mostly vegan called The Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts. I took a trip to Austin to visit the school and I fell in love with the vibe and the people. I moved back the following month. My Vegan Macrobiotic Journey I wanted to help people and have a career that was compassionate. Leaving the world of fashion behind I dove straight into culinary school, which happened to be macrobiotic and gave me an understanding of optimal health that I couldn’t experienced just being vegan. So what the heck is macrobiotics? Good question. It's one of those cool things that is hard to explain in a sentence or two. People study it their whole lives and there's a lot of Eastern philosophy and Chinese Medicine that goes into it. It's pretty awesome actually and I feel blessed I was able to learn that stuff. Here's a post on what it means to me and here are some websites you can check out with more information. My favorite books on the subject are Macrobiotics For Dummies by Verne Varona and Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics by Jessica Porter. Culinary school strengthened my knowledge of nutrition and diet, deepened my passion for food, and gave me the tools to truly help others. After graduating, I moved back to Los Angeles to follow my new dream of helping others find the balance and health benefits that I was now experiencing. What's Going On Now? After 4 years of cooking and teaching in Los Angeles, I joined the online world, where I post videos and blogs allowing me to share my knowledge, passion and delicious recipes with countless fans around the globe. When people want to make lasting impacts on their health and lifestyle they look for The Blissful Chef. I hope you take a visit to my blog and subscribe in the left side bar. I have a very busy life and business so I'm not able to post every day, but what I do post is good quality stuff! Quality over quantity right? I'm always looking for guest bloggers so shoot me an email if you want to share something or a recipe with my peeps | 5/2/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

He destroyed his large body of art, gave away his possessions and spent the next 15 years living in the moment, surrendered to unconditional trust. Transformed, he re-emerged a more complete human being and artist, creating an entirely new body of art, grounded in a larger perspective. His current artworks are large interactive sculptures made of carved cedar, mechanical devices and found objects. His art is featured in the film “Mythic Journeys” by Steven and Whitney Boe and his unusual life story is currently being made into a full-length feature film by the award wining Danish filmmaker Hans Fabian Wullenweber. | 11/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Interview with Ed Harrold | Yoga is becoming a tool for emotional healing in conjunction with psychotherapy. Why? As our sense organs receive information from all of our life experiences, an impression of the experience embeds itself in the nervous system of the body. The combination of slow yoga movement, breathing and meditation allow the client to relax, become present and unite with the authentic self. This state of being empowers us to view the impression as a “witness” rather than a “judge’ and release any emotional attachment (pain/pleasure, like/dislike, sweet/sour) to the memory. Ed is a Life and Wellness Coach on the human potential, yogic sciences and emotional intelligence. Using the yogic sciences, Ed leads educational workshops, personal/executive wellness coaching and professional trainings in corporate, healthcare and athletic/fitness environments. | 8/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Interview with Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler | Gail's journey to contemplative Christianity is rooted in the ritual and mystery she experienced in the Catholic Church as a child in the '50s and early '60s, and is informed by her study of Tibetan Buddhism in the '70s and early '80s.

As a result, she became a devoted Centering Prayer practitioner and a founding member of Contemplative Outreach. As a laywoman, Gail represents the essence of the community that Contemplative Outreach serves: Christians wishing for a deeper relationship with God through transformation lived out in ordinary life, outside the monastic cloister. | 3/31/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Interview with Steve Farrell | Steve Farrell was a technology entrepreneur based in Silicon Valley in the mid-1990’s when through a sequence of events, including the death of my sister, I decided to sell the companies I was involved with to focus on a spiritual path. At this time I came to know Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God material. I helped him with some of his ventures and a few years later, offered my assistance in the planning and launch of Humanity's Team. Shortly after Humanity's Team was founded, in mid-2003, I was asked by Neale to lead Humanity's Team and in early 2004 I became the Worldwide Coordinating Director. At this time, I led a team of people from around the world in creating a non-profit organization, a governance structure, and programs and plans to awaken and embody Oneness on the Earth so humanity may enjoy a sustainable world of peace, harmony and happiness. Humanity's Team is now governed by a Council of Trustees, a Worldwide Coordinating Director, a Core Team and a Global Council composed of leaders from around the world. Humanity's Team presently has over 60,000 teammates in over 150 countries and provides resources for personal transformation, starts groups in communities focused on embodying Oneness in our daily life, creates educational programs and engages in Sacred Activism. Sacred Activism projects include monthly programs focused on living in Oneness and helping people and the environment, and an annual program focused on Global Oneness Day, October 24th. | 11/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Her spiritual path is universal but heavily influenced by both Kabbalah and Kundalini Science. Inspired by Kabbalistic meditations practices, she created Divine Wrapsody, a line of silk prayers shawls inscribed with Hebrew names of God. These shawls actually transmit the resonance of the names as you wrap your self within them. For more info see: www.divinewrapsody.com | 11/4/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
