Soma Time - The Mind-Body Magic Hour  

We're talking a walk on the woo side this week as we welcome in spiritual teachers,Saniel Bonder and Linda Groves-Bonder. We'll be exploring the process and practice of HEARTgazing they've developed. There's a summary of it posted here - http://is.gd/1DDP4 For a sneak preview of the rest of their work, check out their BIO site here: http://www.sanielandlinda.com/ Meantime, make this show your hour.

We're putting our feet up this week and having an old fashioned 'skull session' with noted sports psychologist, John F. Murray. What we want to focus on with him is the dynamics of how doubt, setbacks and criticism impact the public perception of performance and the personal identity of the athletes in these real-life dramas. We'll take a closer look at the way an athlete overcomes failure, injury, and even skepticism about success. Of course we use my Mets as a case study of any/all of those. But we'll also touch on some of recent scandals in the news like the Steve McNair murder-suicide, the litany of NFL drug/violence/guns cases, and the soft parade of outed MLB PED users like Manny and A-Rod. With the British Open starting on THURS, we'll look at both Tiger and Phil's years off the 'field'. Dr. Murray recently attended Wimbledon, so we want to get his insights on both the men's and women's finals.You can get to know his work on JOHNFMURRAY.COM - Meantime, make this show your hour.

We going to get a little lesson this week in "I told ya so" from futurist, independent researcher and an overall cultural sage, as David Alan Goodman, Ph.D. joins us. David is calling out the hopeful masses out there who think we're living in the dawning of a New Age of change and progress. In his eyes, it's kind of the old lipstick on a pig deal. We have more advanced tools to communicate, more 'information' being shared but more of the same tired messages from the same old sources. He has some insights from his research that he'll be presenting this Fall that can help shape and define what a true new age can mean for us personally and collectively. To get an idea of how close David's work is to a breakthrough, check out this article just posted in '07 as your starting point: http://is.gd/1ovLg The brain diggers can take a shot at this one... http://is.gd/1owvf His work since that '07 article led him to make this statement in June '09 - "I'm reporting in October at a Neuroscience Convention how a 260-day cycle of human dreams stable for nine years holds the secret to how the brain works. The New Age that begins December 23, 2012 is an age when the brains of young people count to a degree that is impossible to imagine now. I mean that doubling brain power can be routinely achieved by young people. They are on the verge of an age when it is common knowledge to increase brain power outside of the two ways permitted by even the best universities." We get him to ourselves WED night. We literally get to pick the brain! I know, not like cow tipping on a Summer night but still...LOL...so get your soft-minds and weak wills to the computer & decode yourself!

This week we welcome back a good friend of the program to help us humanize all this 'brain talk' we've had lately. Arlene Taylor from joins us to discuss her ongoing research on PASS (Prolonged Adaptation Stress Syndrome). If you ever caught yourself wondering if there's a physical price for not aligning with your natural strengths, Arlene has some new for you. You can get an inside track by taking a look at her article on PASS posted here - http://is.gd/1hhZ5 Meantime, make this show your hour. Twitter and Facebook this link and spread some soma for us!
