Unlock the mysteries of the Enneagram with Beatrice Chestnut, Ph.D. - one of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders in the modern Enneagram movement. Discover how the Enneagram's ancient wisdom can serve as a transformative map for understanding your own unconscious patterns and behaviors as she guides us through this fascinating tool for self-awareness and personal growth. We discuss the structure of the nine-pointed Enneagram and its relationship to sacred geometry, and the three centers of intelligence - head, heart and body. Discover why balancing these centers is crucial for achieving personal growth and how identifying your own type can be more complex than just taking a test. Beatrice shares an insightful overview of the nine personality types which comprise a psycho-spiritual map of evolution along with their traits, characteristics and relational dynamics. We also introduce the intriguing concept of the vertical path, a personal development journey within each type from lower to higher levels of consciousness, and explore how cultural influences can shape and sometimes complicate this journey. Join us as we trace the Enneagram's global journey from its ancient roots to the pioneering work of figures like George Gurdjieff, Oscar Ichazo and Claudio Naranjo. Explore the relevance of the 27 subtypes, each offering unique pathways for personal growth. Together, we discuss how the Enneagram can powerfully influence our self-understanding and personal evolution, and it's potential to raise global consciousness and contribute to a more connected, self-aware global community.

One of the most authoritative voices and thought leaders in the modern Enneagram movement, Beatrice Chestnut, Ph.D., has been studying and working with the enneagram for 27 years. A licensed psychotherapist, author, coach, and business consultant, she has a Phd in communication and an MA in clinical psychology. Author of two books, The Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Awareness, and The 9 Types of Leadership: Mastering the Art of People in the 21st-Century Workplace, Beatrice views the Enneagram as an important vehicle for the larger, all-important goal of raising global consciousness so we can, collectively, create a more positive, sustainable, and self-aware world community.

Can a gentle movement practice reshape your life? Meet Nick Strauss-Klein, a Guild-certified Feldenkrais practitioner and founder of The Feldenkrais Project, who shares his journey from a concert pianist sidelined by a repetitive strain injury to a passionate advocate and teacher of the Feldenkrais Method. Discover how his experience sparked a profound interest in the intricate relationship between physics, cognition and human learning. We get to the heart of Moshé Feldenkrais' groundbreaking work in somatics, exploring how his own quest for healing led to the development of this unique practice of "practical neuroplasticity". Through gentle, non-violent self-exploration and an emphasis on making subtle distinctions in movement, the Feldenkrais Method fosters a deep awareness of the body and mind. Nick highlights the central role of the nervous system and the brain when explaining how a Feldenkrais lesson is able to facilitate changes by emphasizing curiosity and ease when learning. We discuss the benefits, such as improved physical mobility, enhanced thinking and emotional regulation. Our discussion also highlights how investigating our physical alignment can lead to greater self-awareness. We consider if there is a spiritual dimension to the Feldenkrais method, exploring its potential to enhance creative expression. Nick shares what challenges are posed by modern sedentary lifestyles and discusses how the method can address these issues. We also consider how posture may be passed down through ancestry not only by genetic inheritance (nature) but also via mirror neurons (nurture). As we look to the future of the Feldenkrais Method, Nick introduces the Feldenkrais Project, his pioneering initiative designed to broaden accessibility and engagement worldwide. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned practitioner, this episode is a testament to the transformative power of the Feldenkrais Method, offering insights for anyone seeking to understand this seminal approach to somatic therapy.

The Feldenkrais Project, a crowd-funded labor of love offering Feldenkrais study at no charge to thousands of monthly listeners all around the world. With over 25 years of experience, Nick currently teaches the Feldenkrais Method full-time to students pursuing all types of improvement, from chronic pain relief to enhancing athletic or creative performance. Since 2009 he has been the director of Twin Cities Feldenkrais based in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.

Our special guest for today’s New Year episode is Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., innovator, psychophysiologist and director of research at HeartMath® Institute Research Center. One of Rollin's primary areas of focus is the physiology of emotion, investigating the mechanisms by which emotions influence cognitive processes, behavior and health. Hear his transformative journey from a communications engineer to a trailblazer in consciousness studies. He shares transformative early experiences with Doc Childre, founder of HeartMath, which ignited a profound heart awakening and reshaped his life's mission. Rollin reveals how the heart's electromagnetic field communicates emotional states between individuals and can synchronize heart rhythms. We discuss why it’s important for people to consider their “emotional diet", as he guides us through the intricate connections between the heart and brain, shedding light on the heart's crucial role in intuition and decision-making. We unpack the science behind how emotions like love and appreciation can shift physiological states and why heart-brain coherence is key to emotional balance. We also discuss the groundbreaking work of Mae-Wan Ho, Ph.D., on the multidimensional quantum coherence of living systems. Learn about the brain of the heart, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system (ICNS), and how HeartMath techniques can enhance intuition and increase synchronicity. Rollin explains the implications of these phenomena for energy healing practices and global, collective coherency. Furthermore, he provides practical steps for self transformation from mindfulness to the awareness of what he calls “the vibrational spectrum of love”. Whether you're intrigued by the science of heart coherence or its broader implications regarding human interconnectedness, this episode offers a compelling look at the heart's profound role in our existence and the science behind it.

Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., is director of research at HeartMath® Institute Research Center, a professor at Florida Atlantic University, and a psychophysiologist. He has been with HeartMath Institute since its founding by Doc Childre in 1991. Rollin’s critical research on heart rate variability and heart-rhythm coherence has gained international attention in the scientific community and is helping to change long-held perceptions about the heart’s role in health, behavior, performance and quality of life.

Peter Russell is an author, speaker and leading thinker on consciousness and contemporary spirituality. Join us in this compelling episode with a luminary whose journey from theoretical physics to spiritual traditions and meditation offers profound insights. Peter's principal interest is the deeper, spiritual significance of the times we are passing through, believing the critical challenge today is freeing human thinking from the limited beliefs and attitudes that lie behind many of our problems - personal, social, and global. His reflections on consciousness, ego and the essence of spiritual traditions reveal the significance of expanding our awareness in an increasingly materialistic world. Peter shares his early explorations in India and subsequent shift towards Eastern philosophy, providing a fresh perspective on how spiritual teachings can guide us in addressing personal and global challenges. Discover the visionary idea of the "global brain," a concept Peter introduced in the early 1980s, where humanity acts as a kind of collective nervous system for our planet. We discuss how this interconnectedness - amplified by recent developments in AI and technology - holds the potential to both enhance and endanger human evolution. We delve into the fascinating question, "Can AI be conscious"? As we explore the nature of consciousness, Peter guides us through the intricate connection between meditation and self-awareness. His insights into finding stillness of mind and understanding the true self underscore the transformative power of meditation in fostering compassion and awareness. We ponder meaningful coincidences, Jung's synchronicity, and how stepping beyond our ego-driven selves might connect us to a collective consciousness. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on the mysteries of existence and the potential global impact of our spiritual awakening.

Peter earned a first-class honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology - as well as a master’s degree in computer science - at the University of Cambridge, England. He is on the faculty of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, a fellow of The World Business Academy and The Findhorn Foundation, and an Honorary Member of The Club of Budapest, and President of Science and NonDuality.
