What does it mean if you consider yourself a “good” person, maybe someone who meditates and practices mindfulness, but then “bad things” happen to you? Do you ask yourself if it could be karmic? Do you question your spirituality? Why do negative occurrences happen seemingly out of the blue and what should you do? Today’s guest, Dr. Wayne Dyer is one of the most popular best-selling authors and lecturers on spiritually motivational topics, and he will discuss how to look at life’s challenges and see the spiritual blessings and answers. Wayne, a dear friend of The Aware Show, joins us again to share his stories that create healing for all of us. Wayne is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development and is affectionately called the “father of motivation” by his fans. He’s the author of more than 35 books, has created audio programs and videos, and has appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. At the time of this interview, his latest book was “The Power of Intention.” His books “Manifest Your Destiny,” “Wisdom of the Ages,” “There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem,” and the New York Times bestsellers “10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace,” “The Power of Intention,” “Inspiration,” “Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life,” “Excuses Begone,” and now “Wishes Fulfilled” have all been featured as National Public Television specials.

Are you or someone you know not feeling as well as you know you can? Have you explored options and you think you might be at a dead end with the advice of traditional medicine? Today’s guest will explain technologies that can help you bridge the gap between not feeling well and vibrant, optimal health. If we know that everything is energy, then it makes sense that the next level of medicine can incorporate cutting-edge technologies based on energy. Our guest today is author, visionary inventor, and Chi Gong Master David Wong. He talks about these new wellness technologies which use vibrational frequencies. Just as martial arts uses the body’s own energy, David began to study the further connection of frequencies and vibrations. After traditional Western Medicine combined with Chinese Herbs did little to heal his ulcerative colitis, David knew he had to find another form of relief. He lived with constant pain for 10 years. Doctors advised surgery, and even after that, he would need to take medicine and deal with side effects, for the rest of his life.
David decided to explore spirituality, including prayer and meditation, which led him to finding an energy method to healing. He used his background as an engineer to experiment with sound, frequency, energy, as well as studying the work of Dr. Royal Rife who developed the Rife Machine. He experimented with the Rife-type machines available at the time, but they were very expensive, huge, and clunky.
It was through that study that he invented a handheld instrument called the Qi Coils.
He took the Rife frequencies and captured them into a device. Using light technology and sound waves, he combined the frequency with electromagnetic coils to create soothing magnetic waves, which may aid in healing. This technology helped him heal his colitis. He then began to develop hundreds of other healing frequencies. Today David demonstrates the electronic Pineal Gland activation frequency. Frequencies can reinforce cells in the body to make them stronger. He used these sound frequencies and magnetic energies to invent a device in which coils were made in a specific shape, in accordance with sacred geometry. This in turn becomes magnetic energy. This shape is how energy flows according to science. It’s like a vortex, so it relates to our chakras. It is a natural shape in nature and this technology replicates it. It creates its own flow. Sound makes us feel in certain ways and connects us to vibration. It is a focused, condensed energy. Every body process has a frequency, as does our brain, as we see in various brainwave technology. Our cells are also in constant communication. We send instructions in an electro-magnetic field. We have a secret code and can direct our healing, whether it be an energizing frequency or a relaxing frequency. This can lessen inflammation, assist with anxiety and depression, improve sleep, help with neurodegenerative diseases, and so much more. Technology exists which can measure energy levels. Using this idea, you can take the frequency of the healthy cells to match a vibrant energy. This technology is based on science and has been used for decades. The Qi Coils system makes it easy for people to use this for at-home healing. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: www.theawareshow.com/life

With so many overwhelming challenges facing society today, how can we begin to bring about change? How can we unite in a country filled with opposition and division? Oftentimes, great leaders and pioneers must face extremely challenging situations and oftentimes risk their very lives to perpetuate a change. One such revolutionary was American abolitionist and social activist Harriet Tubman, who was born into slavery. She escaped and risked her life to save nearly 70 enslaved people through the activist network known as the Underground Railroad. Our guest today, author and spiritual leader Spring Washam, dives deeply into the consciousness of Harriet Tubman and explores how we can apply her teachings to the challenges we face today, including overarching division, greed, hatred, and disillusionment. She explains how Harriet fought for true American freedom for all – she stayed focused on forward movement and held a vision of peace. Spring is a teacher, healer, activist, and visionary based in Oakland, CA. She wrote an in-depth exploration of Harriet Tubman’s work in her latest book “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman: Awakening from the Underground.” Spring is considered a pioneer in bringing mindfulness-based meditation practices to diverse communities including being one of the founding teachers at the East Bay Meditation Center, an organization that offers Buddhist teachings with attention to social action and multiculturalism.

Do you know that men and women communicate in completely different ways? They also listen to one another in various ways as well. Why do men and women have such challenges communicating? Relationship expert Alison Armstrong is the creator of Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women, a fast-paced, entertaining method of understanding communication between men and women. According to Alison Armstrong, the source of ALL the problems that women have when it comes to relating to men is holding the mistaken belief that men are just hairy women! And so obviously, when women talk to men as if they were their best girlfriend, the results are usually less than optimal. Her insightful information is simple, practical, and straightforward. Tune into this conversation to find out a better strategy for improved communication. Info: AlisonArmstrong.com
Why is there such a lack of holistic health resources, especially in Black communities? Married couple and health experts Crystal and Marcus Bethea join us today to discuss the state of healthcare in the US, and especially in the Black community. They explain how in certain areas, community care centers have closed so people lack education and awareness, then end up with second-rate providers who do not offer the quality of care and medication available elsewhere. People are miseducated, and encounter complications. Doctors in these communities automatically ask patients to lose weight and begin prescribing more and more medication to help with symptoms, rather than investigating the underlying causes. They further discuss the root causes of common diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Nutrition is not taught in schools, nor are healthy cooking courses. They talk about beginning with subtle changes, such as teaching community classes, offering education for adults, etc. It’s a matter of economics as well as environmental conditions which dictate the foods available. The Betheas share how natural remedies have long stood the test of time and talk about the ways in which a more holistic approach can offer stronger ways to healing. They share ideas about the use of essential oils, massage, Reiki, acupuncture, and other natural healing methods. Crystal Bethea is a military veteran and wellness entrepreneur, while Marcus Bethea is a CFO, insurance person, and business expert. Crystal’s family background includes many RNs and military veterans. She is also a massage therapist and through her studies learned so much about natural health and healing treatments. Together they own and operate C3 Wellness Spas in Florida. Info: c3wellness.com
Have you heard the expressions that “thoughts become things” or how “our thoughts create our reality”? People talk about these concepts, but what does it all really mean? The hugely successful movie, “The Secret,” exploded this discussion and launched it into the mainstream.

Today’s guest, British Army Veteran “Tom,” (We do not have his last name for security reasons) went into Ukraine to help abandoned and injured animals, caught in the fray of the war. After serving in heavy conflict zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan, Tom’s experiences manifested into PTSD. By volunteering to help animals in Ukraine, it helped to soothe his physical and emotional state which included depression and anxiety. Tom worked with former military animals and the compassion he felt toward those animals helped to save his life. He and fellow military veteran “Steve” volunteered early on in the war to get supplies to children and hospitals, then aimed to help as many animals as he could. In the midst of all the devastation, he offered help and assistance in the high-conflict zone. He describes the horrible conditions as people are trying to rebuild. Almost all of the animals he rescued were terrified; he and his fellow volunteers have been bitten and injured numerous times, until eventually the animals began to trust them. These innocent animals remind us of patience and compassion, and pure unconditional love. Tom explains how zoos in Ukraine are bombed and abandoned, pets are lost, and those who keep exotic animals as pets often leave them behind. He shares a story of how he and other volunteers moved nine lions from abandoned zoos with help from other international organizations to a sanctuary in Europe. First the lions moved to Romania, then later were relocated to safety in Colorado. They operate in very dangerous areas and the first task is to reach out to local people to make sure the animals, including many dogs and cats, are not someone’s pet. They re-home them from there. They mainly house animals throughout Europe because of costs of moving them to other countries worldwide. Tom’s organization is “Breaking the Chains International” and they do accept donations for food and veterinary care. He has recently completed building an animal shelter in Ukraine where they can treat seriously injured animals. He and his fellow veterans continue to help the people in Ukraine as well, with needed supplies and support. He further talks about how innocent animals and people are the ones who suffer in war and how we must eventually strive for a peaceful planet. He and his fellow volunteers are now expanding ground teams to react to any natural disaster in the world and specifically provide emergency services for animals. Info: BreakingtheChainsInternational

With all of the challenges globally, whether it be war, inflation, economic collapse, post-pandemic stress, and so much more, how can we remain in a state of hope? Today Lisa continues her conversation with scholar and activist Andrew Harvey. Andrew Harvey is an internationally renowned religious scholar, writer, teacher, and the author of more than 30 books. He is the founder and director of the Institute for Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting people to take up the challenge of our global crises through inspiration and effectiveness, toward practical change in a peaceful way. He explains how the “global dark night” is part of an evolutionary process and how its very intensity makes it the potential way to discover a new embodied, divine humanity. He shares his ideas about “Radical Regeneration” and how the current global crisis is not asking us to simply “make things better” or invent new ways of living. It is demanding that we surrender to a transformation so radical that we become a new variety of the human species. He discusses how ideas evolved from his four most recent books he wrote with co-author Carolyn Baker from 2016-2021. In his book, “The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism,” he describes sacred activism as a marriage of spirituality and activism and how, without a spiritual path, the activist may become egotistical and devoid of inspiration, therefore resulting in burnout and despair. Without passion, an individual who follows only their spiritual path may become isolated and ultimately irrelevant. Sacred Activism seeks to integrate devotion to something greater than oneself with the need to make a difference in the world, as well as developing a profound, powerful, sacred consciousness, which we are all capable of achieving.

Her research focuses on the health effects of occupational and environmental toxins such as pesticides, ionizing radiation, and air pollution on chronic diseases including neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders (Parkinson's disease, autism cognition), cancers, and adverse birth outcomes and asthma. She previously investigated the causes of cancer in chemical toxin and radiation exposed workers and assessed the impact of ergonomic work-place factors on musculo-skeletal disorders. For more than two decades, she studied the effects of air pollution on adverse birth outcomes as well as asthma, autism, and cancers in children in Southern California.
