“Step AWAY from the Computer” With Ken Ludwig & Dean Taraborelli on “Making It Out Alive”

We all have devices; handhelds, pc’s, macs, ipods, ipads, iphones, Blackberry, notebooks, laptops, televisions. And with each device comes this connection; but a connection to what? Can you “step away” after you have completed your business or your communication or after watching a movie or posting a few comments on Facebook? What drives you to play games all night, to compulsively check-in with social media every minute, or watch endless hours of television? Listen in as Dean and Ken share their insights into this modern addiction and how it can subtly suck your life force and limit subjectivity while you don’t even know it is happening. It is time to learn awareness and tools and they will be supplied. Because let’s be real, electronics are as accessible as alcohol and they are not going away.

Dean Taraborelli is the founder of The Sanctuary at Sedona, an alternative healing program for people stuck in addiction, self destructive patterns, crisis or difficult life transitions. The Sanctuary program uses an integrative approach of mind, body, soul and spirit to heal the root of the addiction or disease. Dean has been a patient in countless inpatient, outpatient, extended care programs, thousands of hours of therapy, medication protocols and experimental medical procedures before he was introduced to energy medicine, which is a core component of The Sanctuary Program. www.sanctuary.net

“The New Spirit In Media ~ Media That Makes A Difference”

“A Passion for the Process” With Ester Nicholson & Ken Ludwig, Making It Out Alive

Ester Nicholson brings a unique perspective to her Spiritual journey of recovery. Ester tells Ken about how she transcended any need for 12 Step meetings that no longer served her, but, at the same time, blending the principles of the steps with her own metaphysical beliefs. Ester has designed a personal plan to lead a recovered life that combines the best of two worlds; to support her almost 25 years free of addictions.  Tune in to hear the inner workings of a recovered lifestyle.

Ester Nicholson is an Agape International Licensed Practitioner, and her unique brand of ministry was developed through 17 years of study under the tutelage of Rev. Michael Beckwith, (featured speaker of the Movie “The Secret”), 24 years of sobriety (involving the 12 step programs), her private spiritual counseling practice, Colin Tipping’s Radical Forgiveness techniques, and her remarkable personal life experiences.  www.esternicholson.com

“From Chaos to Sanctuary” With Dean Taraborelli & Ken Ludwig, Making It Out Alive

Dean has been in and out of more rehab and treatment facilities than he can count. Thirty years of addiction followed by twenty years attempting to conquer those addictions led to the creation of The Sanctuary at Sedona. Here Dean and his staff provide an alternative healing program that takes a holistic approach to freeing the mind, body, soul and spirit of each individual. Ken and Dean talk about the body’s ability to remember the patterns of self destructive behaviors even after treatment. This cellular memory needs to be transmuted along with the mental  memory.

“Powerful or Powerless” with Georgia Prescott & Ken Ludwig,” Making It Out Alive”

 

Ken and Georgia talk about her new book, “Powerful or Powerless – A Spiritual, Not Religious Look at the 12 Steps”. Thirty five years working in recovery makes Georgia a real fan of AA. She also recognizes that there are many people out there who need to escape from being “in recovery” and move on to explore the underlying issues in their lives. Georgia’s “enhanced” Spiritual re-languaging of the 12 steps is truly an eye opener.

Rev. Georgia Prescott is the founding minister of the Center for Spiritual Awareness in West Sacramento, CA where 350 very diverse folks gather to celebrate their Spirits every Sunday.  A dynamic speaker and compassionate counselor, she is known for her storytelling and down to earth style.  Georgia has been in recovery for over 35 years.  She has recently written the book, “Powerful or Powerless – A Spiritual, Not Religious Look at the 12 Steps”.  Learn more about Rev Georgia at www.revgeorgia.com.

Connections Radio Presents “Spiritually Motivated Activism”

More that just talking about a more peaceful planet, as the Executive Director of the Association for Global New Thought (AGNT), Dr. Barbara Fields is passionately working to implement and create programs that engage more and more organizational and citizen participation in manifesting our most cherished goal.

One such program introduces a new perspective on AGNT’s Seasons for Peace and Nonviolence that Barbara calls, “Meta-civics.”  Meta-civics combines local engagement with a central unifying vision, thus engaging enlightened citizen activism at the omni-local level. In this way, leaders in every community have the opportunity to rise and react to the unique needs of their own community while still feeling part of a larger whole; communications are dynamically local and global.

On a personal level Barbara shares a few of the things that she does to live a balanced life. She says, “The most important thing in living in greater oneness is paying conscious attention to keeping myself an open system. I constantly seek opportunities to expose myself to new people, new opportunities, and entirely different milieus and thought communities. If you get so embroiled in your own story or your own path that you can’t learn anything new, you lose your perspective about what’s reality. You can’t just surround yourself with yourself, there’s a synergistic component to healing the planet, and that means listening to many voices and following many streams.”

Barbara closes her interview with what she sees as our greatest opportunity: “Right now, for those of us who are hoping, aspiring, and wanting to awaken, we must not avoid the fact that we all share a responsibility for our planet. Understanding that it’s our responsibility will motivate us to engage; engagement empowers us and fulfills our purpose for being here. Practicing how to be more enlightened citizens on the planet, we need to evolve beyond the dialogue and vision stages to reach our full potential. That’s what AGNT is offering.”

In addition to being Executive Director of the Association for Global New Thought, Barbara is co-founder and Project Director of The Gandhi King Season for Nonviolence, the Synthesis Dialogues I, II, and III with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Barbara was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the Holmes Institute of Consciousness Studies, and is recipient of honors including the Peace Museum’s Peacemaker Award, International Centers for Spiritual Living’s first Peace Award, and The Gandhi King Ikeda Peace Award from Morehouse College. She can be contacted at  www.agnt.org

Cynthia James and Dr. Jordan Paul, your hosts for Connections Radio, share a common passion for helping to heal separation and facilitate oneness. Our motto, “Stay Connected” means living in oneness with our authentic self and our family, including those with whom we live as well as every living thing with whom we share our planetary home.

Reflections On My Journey To Greater Oneness ~ “Skiing The Slippery Slope of Connection” by Dr. Jordan Paul

3. Skiing The Slippery Slope of Connection

Athletes call it the zone. Others talk about it as flow. Whatever you call it, most of us have had those awesome experiences while gazing into the eyes of a newborn child, coming to the aid of someone in a crisis, making love, playing with a pet, or losing ourselves in nature. In those moments of being totally present we glimpse what is possible when fear is not dominating our lives.

The first time I skied in the zone, I knew I wanted more. In studying this phenomenon, I learned that in the flow my body is balanced and I ski from my center. Beyond exciting, skiing is an effortless and a graceful spiritual dance. I lose what I think of as myself and become one with everything.

Skiing off-center is not bad or wrong. It’s just not as beautiful, much more work and not the fulfilling experience of perfection. My goal in skiing became learning how to spend more time in that state of oneness, and when I lost it, how to get it back.

It wasn’t much of a stretch to transfer my skiing awareness to how I lived my life. Realizing how much time I spent off-center, especially when confronting upsetting situations, was a sobering shock. Realizing the power and pleasure in that state of oneness I knew I wanted more than just occasional “Kodak moments.” Thus began my commitment to living more in oneness with my heart.

One of the things I like best about this analogy is that it helped me take the judgment off my heart-disconnected behavior. Just as in skiing, being off-center is not bad or wrong it’s just out of balance. Being human I will not be able to stay heart-connected all the time. But that’s not the main problem. Without the awareness that I’m off-center, I’m stuck and meaningful change is unlikely.

Once I’m back to center it is sometimes important to confront and learn about the fears and beliefs that closed my heart and got me off-center such as losing face or another person’s love (more about this in a later blog). Resolving the fears and beliefs that create my disconnection is how I am learning to stay centered more of the time.

An illustration of this skiing analogy is available in my video “Heart Symbol” at  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5Bchn-Z1dc

• In what situations do you remember experiencing the “high” of being in oneness?
• What do you do to experience more of that in your life?

From the hardcore addictions of alcohol and drugs to gambling and over-eating or just plain old bad habits, it is time to explore a new way of being. Your host, Ken Ludwig, will give the audience real and practical examples of tools and techniques that they can use immediately to rewire their thinking and create a new set of responses to the world around them.

Ludwig’s approach is holistic; through the practice and study of our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects we empower ourselves.  He supplies tools and techniques for the listeners through his teaching and by bringing in guests that excel in all of these fields.  Tune-in throughout the week, each new show is posted on Thursdays at 12N MDT.  This show is also available to download or to share with a friend in need.

August 5, 2010 – “Reviews, Previews and the Lighthouse Model”.

QVC Network Wellness Specialist and naturopathic doctor, who his colleagues refer to as “superman”, Dr. James Rouse.  Regular contributor Dr. James returns to talk about the effects of motion and exercise on brain chemistry.  Learn simple and unintimidating tips on how to begin a healthy awareness of movement.    www.optimumwellness.com.
