   013: Going Higher, Getting Lighter with Dr. Alison J. Kay

   Today, on Higher Energy, we are joined by special guest Dr. Alison J. Kay, an award-winning, #1 international best-selling author, the Founder of the Vibrational UPgrade™ System, and an experienced subtle energies practitioner and natural healer with a holistic approach towards helping others thrive in mind, body, and spirit. Dr. Alison has secrets no one else uses to upgrade, inspire, and disrupt old paradigms within her community and the collective. With 20+ years working in & teaching Yoga, Meditation, Energy Medicine, Mind-Body Fitness, Longevity, and Holistic Health with a specialized focus on the Chakra System, she brings a unique perspective that facilitates massive change. Dr. Alison joins us today to share how the energy medicine that she developed, Vibrational UPgrade™ Energy Medicine, helps individuals with their own spiritual awakening. She discusses how we can have stillness in this vibrational backdrop we're living in now, and open up our systems to have a more finely attuned receptivity that pulls towards us more support, guidance, and power to create what it is that we are desiring in life. Dr. Alison also explores how we can allow ourselves to move forward into unknown “newness,” even while our ego-mind is programmed to prefer the familiar, why it seems like we now have more intuitive messages and abilities, and how we can increase our clear receiving of these messages and know what to do with them. Dr. Alison shares that if we are to reach our human potential, we must release our subconscious blocks, recognize our responsibility for managing this mind, body, spirit system, and step into more empowerment.

   011: Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity, and Joy with Dawson Church

   Today, on Higher Energy, we are joined by special guest Dawson Church, an award-winning science writer and researcher with three best-selling books to his credit who has edited or authored a number of books in the fields of health, psychology, and spirituality. His principal works are The Genie in Your Genes, which reviews the research linking consciousness, emotion, and gene expression, Mind to Matter, which examines the science of peak mental states, and Bliss Brain, which demonstrates that “flow” states rapidly remodel the brain for happiness. Dawson has conducted dozens of clinical trials and founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare to promote groundbreaking new treatments and research on evidence-based healing modalities. He shares how to apply the breakthroughs of energy psychology to health and personal performance through EFT Universe, one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web. Dawson joins us today to discuss the neuroscience of remodeling and rewiring our brains for extreme joy by activating Bliss Brain and brain-waves that enhance happiness. “Bliss Brain” is a state in which joy is natural and consistently nurtures the personality traits of patience, resilience, compassion, creativity, productivity, and love. Dawson explains that when we cultivate pleasurable “flow” states on a regular basis, they become stable traits that are hard-wired into our brains. He shares the techniques we can use to produce rapid, measurable changes that will shrink stress circuits in our brains, shift us out of our default mode network that consists of past trauma and future worries, and reformat our brains for a lifetime of unshakable happiness.

He is the author of the best-selling books, Forgive for Good: A Proven Prescription for Health and Happiness, and Forgive for Love: The Missing Ingredient for a Healthy and Happy Relationship. His book Forgive for Good is the best-selling self-help book published on the topic of forgiveness.

He also conducts numerous workshops and staff development trainings in relationship enhancement, stress management, and positive psychology through the Stanford Be Well program, and teaches stress management, emotional intelligence, and happiness skills to corporate clients throughout the United States. Dr. Luskin’s research has shown that the Forgive for Good forgiveness methodology leads participants suffering from a wide range of concerns to improved physical and mental health.

Dr. Luskin joins us today to explore forgiveness, its profound impact on our health and well-being, and how we can learn to forgive others in order to make peace inside ourselves and live with less stress in our lives. He shares the biggest obstacles that prevent people from being able to forgive and explains that forgiveness is about taking the action to no longer let someone or something have power over our lives, even if we do not desire reconciliation. Dr. Luskin provides insight on the link between forgiveness and our emotional and physical health, and how an inability to overcome a victim mentality and self-regulate our disruptive emotions can manifest things like chronic stress and chronic pain.

   008: Your Health and 5G - Facts and Fiction with Dr. Beverly Rubik

   Today, on Higher Energy, we are joined by special guest Dr. Beverly Rubik, a leading scientist and scholar internationally renowned for her pioneering work in frontier science that embraces the consciousness and the energy fields of living systems, and medicine that goes beyond the mainstream. Dr. Rubik is an esteemed biophysicist, investigating the role of consciousness in the physical world and complementary and alternative medicine, particularly the role of the human biofield, as well as the health issues of humans exposed to wireless communication radiation. She is also the founder of the Institute for Frontier Science, a nonprofit research laboratory established to explore novel scientific and health-related discoveries and concepts that are considered unconventional, yet hold promise for future knowledge and applications. Dr. Rubik joins us today to discuss the dangers of a global rollout of 5G and the detrimental health risks that humans are exposed to through wireless radiation. She explains that there are a host of problems that can come from exposure, and overexposure, to wireless radiation, and why we can expect that 5G will further exacerbate current health and environmental issues. Dr. Rubik also provides insight into how 5G can disrupt and diminish our immunity to external factors, and why it's possible that individuals living in regions where next-generation 5G networks have already been rolled out may be experiencing a stronger response to COVID-19. She shares how we can mitigate our exposure to wireless radiation in our daily lives, and why it’s critical that we accurately assess the impact and consequences that deploying 5G can have on humans and the environment before covering every square inch of the earth with wireless radiation.

   007: Alleviating Fear and Boosting the Immune System in the Midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic with Dr. Bruce Lipton

   Today, on Higher Energy, we are joined by special guest Dr. Bruce Lipton, who is a renowned cell biologist, best-selling author, and internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Dr. Lipton is a sought after keynote speaker and workshop presenter who lectures about leading-edge science and how it corresponds with mind-body medicine and spiritual practices. His research and insights have been pivotal in the epigenetic revolution that’s laying the foundation for a consciousness-based understanding of biology. Dr. Lipton joins us today to discuss how stress, fear, and negative thoughts inhibit the body’s immune system response and, in turn, can make individuals much more susceptible to different illnesses. He explains that the profound level of fear surrounding COVID-19, that’s currently being amplified by the media, not only heightens stress hormone levels but disempowers people by weakening their immune systems and further exacerbating this pandemic. While staying informed is important, Dr. Lipton recommends limiting exposure to the negative media and panic-inducing news reports that primarily feed into fear and spread misinformation. He shares practices for staying healthy, shifting our focus to positivity, and maintaining a calm state of mind in order to alleviate the stressors we’re all facing in these daunting and uncertain times while doing our part to help flatten the curve.
