This week’s guest, Bob Stahl, the founder and director of three mindfulness-based stress reduction programs at three medical centers in the San Francisco Bay area, shares with us his unique path into the healing profession, and what he has discovered. Two of his most beloved family members died during Dr. Stahl’s childhood, awakening in him a confusion and an enduring interest – what is this thing called death that can wreak such havoc in one’s life? What does it mean, and what can we do about it? Listen Now: Download MP3 for your computer, smartphone, or iPod at the end of this article This led him on a quest, beginning with a study of the physical process of death, then continuing with an exploration of its social, spiritual, and psychological factors. This, in time, led him to the committed practice of Buddhism and 8 ½ years in a monastery. Professionally, he found numerous applications for what he had learned, especially in the practice of (MBSR) – a most useful clinical tool developed by Jon Kabat Zinn. Dr. Stahl will share with us the meaningful of mindfulness, the practice of being present, its relationship to stress reduction, and how it can help us overcome our self-narrative – the self-limited perspectives we have on ourselves. The Buddha, the “unconditioned one,” he explains, provides, offers, insights, that could be of great value to us moderns. Dr. Stahl will share with us some of what he’s learned about how to approach death and, paradoxically, how these insights can help us approach life so that we can be victorious over the three enemies described by the Buddha – greed, hate, and ignorance. Finally, we will touch on the worldwide deficit of compassion our planet is now experiencing and some thoughts about what we might do about it.

Since being a part of the launching of the holistic approach to healing and the field of Holistic Medicine 40 years ago it has been Dr. Miller's passion to seek out other thought leaders – the movers and shapers who could see the disaster looming for our world and were setting about crafting the tools that would help transform the world. Those few who, like Dr. Miller, were in the medical and psychological field could see the enormous waste in our health care system, the crisis it was leading to. The tools they developed – guided imagery, mindfulness, meditation, wellness, nutritional medicine, and physical exercise physiology – are now transforming mainstream medicine.

Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH, is an internist and social scientist who conducts research on social factors that affect health, health care, and longevity. He is Professor of Medical Sociology in the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School; Professor of Medicine in the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School; and Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences. He is the Master of Pforzheimer House in Harvard College. Listen to the Conversation Here:Download MP3 at the end of this article. Dr. Christakis' lab is currently focused on the relationship between social networks and health. People are inter-connected, and so their health is inter-connected. This research engages two types of phenomena: the social, mathematical, and biological rules governing how social networks form ("connection") and the biological and social implications of how they operate to influence thoughts, feelings, and behaviors ("contagion"). Other ongoing investigations in the lab consider the effects of neighborhoods on people's health, the biodemographic determinants of longevity, the widowhood effect ("dying of a broken heart"), and the genetic bases for human behaviors. Along with his long-time collaborator, James Fowler, Dr. Christakis has authored a general-audience book on social networks: Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives, which has been translated into nearly twenty foreign languages.

As you probably know from my recent book, Our Culture On The Couch - Seven Steps to Global Healing, I believe the only way out of our current mess is for us to stop being controlled by our world, but to bring forth the leadership potential within each of us. So, this month we will focus on awakening this leader, on the power of the New Paradigm, and explore the potential of conversation as a transformative tool to leverage personal wisdom and spirit. Juanita Brown Ph.D. with her partner, David Isaacs is the co-originator of The World Café, a pioneering approach to large scale dialogue and collaborative inquiry being used in corporate, community, government, education, and multi-stakeholder settings around the globe. Hundreds of thousands of people on six continents have experienced the World Café to foster sustainable development, responsible business futures, conflict resol...ution, democratic leadership, and local community engagement around critical issues. Her award-winning book, The World Café: Shaping our Futures through Conversations that Matter, co-authored with her partner David Isaacs and the World Café Community has been translated into 10 languages, and has recently been released in mainland China. Listen to the Conversation Here:Download MP3 at the end of this article. Juanita developed her belief in the power of conversation and community to shape the future through her early years at the Na-Bolom Institute, a center for dialogue and action on indigenous issues and rainforest preservation in Chiapas, Mexico. Juanita was also a key architect in large-scale community development and outreach work with Cesar Chavez and the farm workers movement. She has applied her discoveries about the principles for building engaged communities to the co-evolution of the World Café as social innovation––using both living systems approaches and community development sensibilities to engage a growing global network of multi-generational hosts committed to creating collaborative dialogue and committed action around critical local, national and global issues. Since 1974, Juanita has collaborated as a strategic thinking partner with senior corporate executives as well as non-profit leaders in the U.S., Latin America, Canada, Europe and the Pacific Rim, advising on large scale change intiatives and creating innovative forums for strategic dialogue around critical organizational and societal issues. Juanita is a Fellow of the World Business Academy and has served as a Senior Affiliate with both the MIT Center for Organizational Learning (now the Society for Organizational Learning) and the Institute for the Future. Her greatest joy, however, is when she finds herself alone in nature on the shores of Tomales Bay, California listening to the loons and seeing the white pelicans floating quietly through the mist.

This Thursday I will be in conversation with Marilyn Nyborg, spiritual activist and co-founder of two organizations, Gather the Women, and Women Waking the World. Listen to the Conversation Here: We will discuss these remarkable organizations and the core issues around which they have been built. Gather the Women's purpose is to bring women together to inspire one another, to witness one another, collaborate, work together on the things that are passionate to their hearts and to give women a voice. Women Waking the World frames the central crisis of our time as the devaluation of the Feminine, which allows the degradation of the earth, the abuse of women, their exclusion from influence, and ultimately the decline of all life. WWW offers a website that is truly a portal into a conversation around the effects of what they refer to as the patriarchy. And in doing that these portals offer a curriculum, videos, articles, their blogs and much, much more. And, as for men, Women Waking the World's intention is also to reflect the voices of men who really hear their plea. If you enjoyed this conversation...

In your heart is the future of our planet; learn how to empower your mental imagery to serve your most deeply held values. Experience the wisdom of the ages wedded to cutting-edge mind-body and peak performance technology. Relax and enjoy the uniquely beautiful voice of Dr. Miller. One of the fathers of Holistic Healing, Dr. Miller introduced the world to the power of creative visualization, and the use of meditation cassettes and CD’s. The future is not somewhere we’re going, it’s a place we’re creating, in each moment, with each thought, with each image. Here’s how to intentionally choose to transform the world the way you want. Track 1 Introduction :58 Are you ready to begin to awaken a powerful inner part of yourself, and engage it in helping to create the kind of world you want to live in? If so, continue listening to Track 2 after this brief introduction. If not, skip forward to Track 4. Track 2 Your Deeper Mission In a democracy, the way to keep people enslaved is to keep them ignorant of their inner power. On this track you will first learn to quiet mind chatter and distractions and gain access to the vast resources within – your love, your faith, your skills and talents. At your special inner place you will contact your inner wisdom and spiritual guidance. Listen to this side by itself to get in touch once again with the truth of who you are, or continue on with Track 3. Use daily, or as often as you like. Track 3 Global peace Meditation  20:38 Opens with a Native American Prayer for “All My Relations,” then recalls your inner truth – your purpose and values, your resources and spirituality. Next you will apply the Master Skill, creative visualization, to create the world your heart longs to see, and empower it with your love, compassion, and enthusiasm. Add your voice to the growing chorus of hearts who are creating our shared future. Listen alone, or with others, for more power, daily or as frequently as desired. Track 4 Creating World peace- a heart to heart talk 34:03 How can we do it? Here is Dr. Miller’s incredible answer! Discover how denial and “victim consciousness” have combined to produce a near fatal global disease. Learn the secret to global healing as passed down through  the ages, and how it has been hidden by rulers to keep themselves in power.  Gandhi said it more succinctly—“Think globally, act locally.” Your most powerful ally is the part of your adversary that knows what is right, what is good, what is Love. Here is the rationale for the wise use of imagination, and how it can create global change. VisitShopDrMiller.com to view Healing Our Planet online!
