Best-selling author, philosopher and teacher, Guy Finley has said that everyone on earth has the possibility to take The Hero’s Journey. Not as an abstract concept, but as the core purpose and driving force in every human being’s life. The Hero’s Journey is our birthright, and the greatest, most fulfilling adventure we will ever know. A true hero is someone who, in the face of daunting opposing forces – being called to make a difficult sacrifice for the sake of a noble cause – does so regardless of the odds, despite the personal cost. To what “power” do all true heroes attribute their success; those brave souls who have helped to shape, to make our world a richer, better and brighter place? All attest to one simple truth: a relationship with a “higher power” greater than themselves. Join us as Sister Jenna welcomes Guy Finley to The Next Normal as he shares some of the universal and timeless spiritual principles that lead us to the personal revelation of Divine guidance, and the ultimate realization of our own highest possibilities. Join Guy’s “Talks in the Pines” event which takes place June 24th - 26th. Info at www.guyfinley.org/journey.

"No thanks - I’m not drinking tonight." In a culture that equates alcohol with enjoyment and social acceptance, making this simple statement can make us feel like we’re depriving or even punishing ourselves. "When we realize that we don’t want to drink anymore or can no longer drink safely, it can feel like the only choices are to spiral out of control or embrace a joyless life," says psychotherapist and sobriety expert Veronica Valli. "But it’s not true! Sobriety can be a path filled with fun, excitement, belonging, relaxation, and romance." Veronica Valli joins Sister Jenna to discuss how to get sober and stay sober by increasing your self-worth, energy, and participation in life. She debunks widespread beliefs about alcohol and sobriety, including the illusion that alcohol itself is the problem. She will take us into the heart of her method for building an alcohol-free life that works - the Five Pillars of Sustainable Sobriety. Veronica Valli has lived and taught sober living principles for over twenty years, both in her personal journey and to thousands of clients who she’s helped discover the joys of sober living. She's built a community of over 10,000 and hosts a popular podcast with Chip Somers, the initial recovery coach to Russell Brand. Her new book is titled, SOBERFUL: Uncover a Sustainable Fulfilling Life Without Alcohol. Visit https://soberful.com.

Dr. Amit Goswami is a retired professor of physics from the University of Oregon. While researching the area of quantum physics, he discovered that when quantum physics is formulated within the metaphysics of qualified non-dualism, as in Indian Vedanta, questions regarding meaning are immediately resolved. His work thus integrates science and spirituality. This work has culminated in his most recent book with the physician Valentina Onisor, Quantum Spirituality.
In 2009, he started a movement called "quantum activism," which continues to gain ground. In 2018, together with his collaborators, he established Quantum Activism Vishwalayam, an institution of transformative education in India, based on quantum science and the primacy of consciousness.
Dr. Goswami is the author of numerous books, most notably: The Self-Aware Universe, Physics of the Soul, and God is Not Dead. He was featured in the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? and the documentaries Dalai Lama Renaissance and The Quantum Activist.

This campaign, supported by friends, thought leaders and organizations from around the country, was launched on the 1st of May, coinciding with the start of National Meditation Month and will continue leading up to Election Day on the 8th of November, 2016.

Tune in as Sister Jenna and Sister Gita from the America Meditating Radio Show discuss the benefits of Raja Yoga Meditation. Raja Yoga meditation is a form of meditation that is accessible to people of all backgrounds. It is a meditation without rituals or mantras and can be practiced anywhere at any time. Raja Yoga meditation is practiced with 'open eyes', which makes this method of meditation versatile, simple and easy to practice. Meditation is a state of being in that place just beyond every day consciousness, which is where spiritual empowerment begins. Spiritual awareness gives us the power to choose good and positive thoughts over those which are negative and wasteful. We start to respond to situations, rather than just reacting to them. We begin to live with harmony, we create better and happier, healthier relationships and change our lives in a most positive way.
With Raja Yoga meditation you can throw off the old patterns of influence and recreate yourself to be how you want to be. That is the power of Raja Yoga. This ancient meditation practice harnesses your natural powers and trains your mind to be your friend. You are not your mind; you are not your body. You have a mind and you have a body. These ‘tools' sometimes work well and at other times may need calm and exercise to get back to a healthy path.
Raja Yoga teaches us to step back and observe life, take a calm breath, cool our reactions, and step forward in the way we choose - independent of others urging us to think or act as they wish.

Paying Tribute to Dr. Edgar Mitchell - Rebroadcast. On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey into outer space that resulted in becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon. This historic journey ended safely nine days later. It was an audacious time in the history of mankind. For Dr. Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come. Traveling back to Earth, having just walked on the moon, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell had an experience for which nothing in his life had prepared him. As he approached the planet we know as home, he was filled with an inner conviction as certain as any mathematical equation he'd ever solved. He knew that the beautiful blue world to which he was returning is part of a living system, harmonious and whole—and that we all participate, as he expressed it later, "in a universe of consciousness." Within two years of his expedition, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1973.

The most powerful leaders in history, including the prophets of religions, did not attempt to change the world before undergoing their own transformation. What we wish to see in the world begins with what we see in ourselves. Today, we remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who was an inspiring leader who had a seismic impact on race relations in the United States.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Baptist minister and social activist, who led the Civil Rights Movement in the United States from the mid-1950s until his assassination in 1968. He was a visionary leader who was deeply committed to achieving social justice through nonviolent means. Through his activism, he played a pivotal role in ending the legal segregation of African-American citizens in the South and other areas of the nation, as well as the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, among several other honors. He continues to be remembered as one of the most lauded leaders in history.

Sister Jenna welcomes Tosha Silver to the America Meditating Radio Show! Tosha Silver saw in a very deep way that we're all searching for something without realizing that we already have it within ourselves, we already are it. It's so easy to say that, but so difficult to realize it in the fold of our everyday life, to bring it down into our embodied, felt experience. Tosha's passion is to help people find how to do that, not just to talk about it. She's singularly gifted at describing what life is like after a shift like that, how different it is to move through the world with the awareness that the Divine lives within you, as you.
Tosha graduated from Yale with a degree in English Literature but along the way fell madly in love with metaphysics and yogic philosophy. For the past 30 years she has taught people around the world ways to align with Inner Love. She’s the author of Outrageous Openness and the recently released Change Me Prayers: The Hidden Power of Spiritual Surrender. She lives near San Francisco, where she runs an online school about these ideas called, “Living Outrageous Openness: Think Like a Goddess”. Tosha says that the guidance from the Inner Divine begins to lead when it is sincerely invited. Watch Tosha as she discusses her new book Change Me Prayers.

“It is my pure wish that we continue to serve and build a global transformation of peace, power and wisdom, beginning from within. We must make our world a place of cooperation, shared resources, and a culture of humility in which we are so full of goodness that there is no longer a need for illusion. May 2016 be the year of Inner Silence where power, love, and peace fill our presence.” – Sister Jenna

Tosha Silver saw in a very deep way that we're all searching for something without realizing that we already have it within ourselves, we already are it. It's so easy to say that, but so difficult to realize it in the fold of our everyday life, to bring it down into our embodied, felt experience. Tosha's passion is to help people find how to do that, not just to talk about it. She's singularly gifted at describing what life is like after a shift like that, how different it is to move through the world with the awareness that the Divine lives within you, as you.
Tosha graduated from Yale with a degree in English Literature but along the way fell madly in love with metaphysics and yogic philosophy. For the past 30 years she has taught people around the world ways to align with Inner Love. She’s the author of Outrageous Openness and the recently released Change Me Prayers: The Hidden Power of Spiritual Surrender. She lives near San Francisco, where she runs an online school about these ideas called, “Living Outrageous Openness: Think Like a Goddess”. Tosha says that the guidance from the Inner Divine begins to lead when it is sincerely invited. Watch Tosha as she discusses her new book Change Me Prayers.

Terrorist Attacks in Paris - Message from Sister Jayanti, European Director, Brahma Kumaris
Our thoughts, meditations, and deepest sympathy are with our brothers and sisters of France at this distressing time. What is happening in France, and in many other parts of the world, is an expression of the extreme insecurity and fear that lead to acts of violence. There is a spiritual void within individuals and communities, which is quickly filled by anger and hatred.
At the present time, it is of paramount importance to counteract the fragmented atmosphere of fear with a healing atmosphere of love, founded on our love-filled thoughts, attitudes, and intentions. For this, every individual needs a deep and sustaining inner strength, the depth of strength that comes from our connection with God. A healing atmosphere will help restore lives and build bridges between communities and religions, diminishing the accumulation of fear and negativity. This is the greatest means we have for lasting change in the world.
We invite you to spend some time in silence each day, allowing your mind and heart to be a reservoir of love for those in Paris and for those driven to such desperate acts, and to create an atmosphere of peace in the world. Om shanti. I am peace.

Sirgun Kaur is an Arizona-based sacred chantress who is also an avid blogger and Kundalini Yoga instructor. There has never been any question in Sirgun Kaur's mind what she should do "when she grew up." From collecting nursery rhymes as an infant, to sharing her adolescent woes with a sympathetic piano, or touring the United States as a singer-songwriter in her early 20s, music has always been an anchor in Sirgun's life. It was not until she discovered Kundalini Yoga, chanting, and mantra, however, that she understood the transformative and healing potential of music. In a word: magical! Since then, Sirgun has released four albums of sacred chants: Reclaim Your Happiness, Dayaal, The Cosmic Gift, and The Music Within.
Her latest album, Reclaim Your Happiness, was released through Spirit Voyage as part of their Meditations for Transformation series. Sirgun says that her childhood of constant travel, living as an expat in France, has taught her abundant gratitude for her voice. Her voice has received international recognition at White Tantric Yoga events, where her song "Bliss" was selected as the soundtrack to the KRI promotional DVD "Facets of the Master," played at each break.

Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah's inspiring true story - which was turned into a film entitled, “Emmanuel's Gift,” narrated by Oprah Winfrey and a book authored by Laurie Thompson called, “Emmanuel’s Dream” – is nothing short of remarkable. Born in Ghana, with one deformed leg, he was dismissed by most people - but not by his mother, who taught him to reach for his dreams.
As a boy, Emmanuel hopped to school more than two miles each way, learned to play soccer, left home at age 13 to provide for his family, and, eventually, became a cyclist. He rode an astonishing 400-miles across Ghana in 2001, spreading his powerful message - disability is not inability. He was later selected to receive ESPN’s ESPY Arthur Ashe Courage Award which was presented by Oprah Winfrey.
Today, Emmanuel plays on the U.S. National Amputee Soccer Team and continues to work on behalf of the disabled. He is in training to cycle from San Diego to Oregon to raise $2 million to build a first-of-its-kind school in Ghana open to people with disabilities and is seeking sponsors.Visit www.EmmanuelsDream.org & www.facebook.com/emmanuel.o.yeboah.5.

Sister Jenna interviews Kim Barnouin, co-author of the Bestselling book, "Skinny Bitch," on the America Meditating Radio Show.
Kim Barnouin was a high school dropout turned model who only crossed paths with a vegetable on her pizza. At a point in her life, she questioned her unhappy and unhealthy self and looked for ways to change her lifestyle. She began exploring food and by eating better, she started to physically and mentally feel better. During this transition, Kim became obsessed with nutrition, enrolled in a Bachelor’s program in Natural Health and went on to receive a Master’s Degree in Holistic Nutrition. Learning about how food affects and heals many diseases and illnesses was something she wanted to share with everyone.
Eager to spread her word to the masses, Kim worked with longtime friend and vegan, Rory Freedman, to write a book. Neither thought their book, “Skinny Bitch” would become a multi-million copy success - let alone a New York Times bestseller for two years straight. Many sequels and a line of fitness DVDs followed. Kim later produced several solo books. Follow her on Twitter at @skinnybitch & @KimBarnouin.

Sister Jenna, Host of the America Meditating Radio Show, discusses the essence of Raja Yoga, as we approach the First Annual International Day of Yoga.
History has left us with a variety of forms of yoga to practice, and each one emerged to assist in a particular area of our lives. We can use yoga to liberate our body from physical discomfort or to liberate our minds from experiences of the past.
The word yoga itself means ‘union’. It generally refers to the union of the individual consciousness or soul with the Universal Consciousness, often referred to as God. With the modern day emphasis on physical health and fitness, many people think of yoga only as physical exercises – asanas or postures – but these are only the surfaced aspects of what has been termed ‘the science of unfolding the infinite potentials of the human mind and soul.'
In essence, Raja Yoga is about connecting the Soul to God and through this, experience one’s real self, not that of what we have learned to be. The opportunity in Raja Yoga is in how long you can maneuver that consciousness and be your real self. Then, how can we apply that awareness to our everyday lives, so we can keep a grasp on what is real from what is an illusion.
Imagine, being able to realize yourself as you truly are: a good, beautiful, powerful, clean and clear soul.

"Women are strong and beautiful, and we are also in pain - physical, emotional, and psychological - stemming from past or present trauma. Yoga gives us tools to overcome the obstacles that exist between us and freedom, joy, and gratitude. I see why women come to yoga; they want to reclaim something in themselves. It’s beautiful to watch." - Colleen Saidman Yee

In addressing the UN General Assembly on September 27, 2014, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed an International Day of Yoga and said, "Yoga is an invaluable gift of India's ancient tradition. It embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and well-being. It is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature. By changing our lifestyle and creating consciousness, it can help us deal with climate change. Let us work towards adopting an International Yoga Day."
The subsequent resolution introduced by India, received unprecedented support from 175 countries and was unanimously adopted. June 21, 2015, will celebrate the 1st International Day of Yoga. Visit www.indianembassy.org & http://idayofyoga.org.

Sister Jenna welcomes Therapist Tina Gilbertson to the America Meditating Radio Show.
Tina Gilbertson was living the dream. She resided in New York and had inched her way up the corporate ladder to finally arrive at a successful position in television. The only problem was; it wasn’t her dream – it was everyone else’s. Eventually Tina’s dissatisfaction led to the therapy couch; she had decided to find her answers in therapy. This time of self-examination came with a surprise; Tina uncovered her true passion— she wanted to help people as a professional counselor.
After going back to college and becoming licensed, Tina found herself specializing in feelings and how people actually sabotage themselves by trying to feel emotions for which they’ve built no foundation. Her new book, Constructive Wallowing: How to Beat Bad Feelings by Allowing Yourself to Have Them is the result of years of hard work (on herself) as well as helping others. Tina has written feature articles on emotional intelligence and health for Portland’s Natural Awakenings magazine, and contributes wisdom as a self-esteem expert for online therapist directory GoodTherapy.org. Visit TinaGilbertson.com. Watch Tina on AM Northwest.

"It’s in your hands to think at a higher level about your worth and sense of purpose.

Sometimes we make the 5 or 10 percent of the horrors of life define our whole story." – Sister Jenna

Sister Jenna welcomes travel writer Pico Iyer on the America Meditating Radio Show! Why might a lifelong traveler like Pico Iyer who has journeyed from Easter Island to Ethiopia, Cuba to Kathmandu, think that sitting quietly in a room might be the ultimate adventure?

Pico Iyer was born in England, to parents from India, and was educated at Eton, Oxford and Harvard.

He has written 12 books, exploring also the cultural consequences of isolation, whether writing about the exiled spiritual leaders of Tibet or the embargoed society of Cuba.
Pico’s latest focus is on another overlooked aspect of travel: how can it help us regain our sense of stillness and focus in a world where our devices and digital networks increasing distract us? He is a contributor to many magazines, writer of screenplays and liner-notes and introductions to 40 other books. His newest book is, "The Art of Stillness."

Sister Jenna welcomes Tina Gilbertson to the America Meditating Radio Show!
Tina Gilbertson was living the dream. She resided in New York and had inched her way up the corporate ladder to finally arrive at a successful position in television. The only problem was; it wasn’t her dream – it was everyone else’s. Eventually Tina’s dissatisfaction led to the therapy couch; she had decided to find her answers in therapy. This time of self-examination came with a surprise; Tina uncovered her true passion— she wanted to help people as a professional counselor.
After going back to college and becoming licensed, Tina found herself specializing in feelings and how people actually sabotage themselves by trying to feel emotions for which they’ve built no foundation. Her new book, Constructive Wallowing: How to Beat Bad Feelings by Allowing Yourself to Have Them is the result of years of hard work (on herself) as well as helping others. Tina has written feature articles on emotional intelligence and health for Portland’s Natural Awakenings magazine, and contributes wisdom as a self-esteem expert for online therapist directory GoodTherapy.org.

“When winning becomes too important, it blurs concern for the way our actions affect others; it necessarily sets up someone on the opposing side who must “lose.” The win/??lose mentality prominent in our society is a symptom of a much larger problem—a spiritual problem, in fact.” - Dr. Margaret Placentra Johnston
After practicing Optometry for over three decades - helping people to see better in the physical world - Dr. Margaret Placentra Johnston now offers clearer vision of a different sort - a broader perspective about religion and spirituality than what the conventional world typically recognizes.
The author of Faith Beyond Belief: Stories of Good People Who Left Their Church Behind, Dr. Johnston feels the spiritual development stages have the power to bring an end to religious intolerance and should be part of the general knowledge of our culture. Faith Beyond Belief has won a number of awards including being named the Gold Winner of the 2013 Nautilus Book Award in Religion/Spirituality. Visit www.FaithBeyondBelief-book.com.

Join Sister Jenna as she takes you on a journey off the grid and into the heart!
In this fast-paced and often chaotic world, a multitude of obligations and everyday stresses of life can lead to anxiety and burn out, and with little time for a reality check. Under these conditions, our health, relationships and finances can cripple the chances for happiness. Being effective and staying on top of the game makes the simplest of tasks difficult.
Our current world is in desperate need of renewal, and not that of the quick fixes and surface changes. We are in need of inner power, of stepping off the grid of society and into our own hearts. It is only there that lasting change will occur.
For those who know they have more to give but struggle because of the demands on the Grid, Sister Jenna offers a groundbreaking new CD entitled, "Off the Grid, Into the Heart," a guided meditation for people on the move. It gently encourages moving thoughts to a higher level, even while performing everyday tasks.
For over 20 years, Sister Jenna has spearheaded numerous projects, writings, lectures, retreats, and conversations around how to cultivate a practice of stillness while being in the midst of chaos. She understands the path to burnout and encourages the practice of "getting off the grid and into the heart." Sister Jenna believes that coming from a place of the heart fosters intentions and authentic expressions that not only serve the individual, but also the world.

Acclaimed travel writer Pico Iyer joins Sister Jenna on the America Meditating Radio Show! Why might a lifelong traveler like Pico Iyer who has journeyed from Easter Island to Ethiopia, Cuba to Kathmandu, think that sitting quietly in a room might be the ultimate adventure? Because in our madly accelerating world, our lives are crowded, chaotic and noisy. There’s never been a greater need to slow down, tune out and give ourselves permission to be still.
Pico Iyer was born in England, to parents from India, and was educated at Eton, Oxford and Harvard. He began his career documenting a neglected aspect of travel -- the sometimes surreal disconnect between local tradition and imported global pop culture. He has written 12 books, exploring also the cultural consequences of isolation, whether writing about the exiled spiritual leaders of Tibet or the embargoed society of Cuba.
Pico’s latest focus is on another overlooked aspect of travel: how can it help us regain our sense of stillness and focus in a world where our devices and digital networks increasing distract us? He is also a contributor to many magazines, writer of screenplays and liner-notes and introductions to 40 other books. His newest book is, "The Art of Stillness." Visit http://picoiyerjourneys.com and watch Pico’s Ted Talk on the Art of Stillness.

Tune in as Sister Jenna reflects on evolving our consciousness and shares special meditations.
"If we don't evolve in consciousness, we will certainly become extinct. Our own vices within will destroy whatever wattage of light is left inside us. Perhaps, one of our greatest lessons of these times is to adapt towards an evolutionary state of consciousness or cease to exist." – Sister Jenna
A sign that we are evolving is that our negatives start to dissolve. We become more conscious of thoughts and feelings, more self-reflective, and our presence becomes softer. We become sensitized to the workings of our inner being and how its vibrations manifest the world of circumstances around us.

At age thirty-three, Gary Wright was at the highest point in his career. He came to prominence as a singer and songwriter during the golden age of rock in the 1970s. His album, The Dream Weaver, had been on top the charts for months with two multiplatinum hits - "Dream Weaver" and "Love is Alive." He also completed a massive arena tour with Peter Frampton and recorded music with legendary musicians Eric Clapton, B.B King, and George Harrison - who would later become one of his best friends. Yet, even with all of this success, he still had many questions about who he was.
What is not as well known to the public, however, is Gary’s spiritual side. At the heart of his upcoming memoir, "DREAM WEAVER: Music, Meditation, and My Friendship with George Harrison," is the spiritual conversion and journey that he experienced alongside his close friend. Until George’s death in 2001, the two spent decades together writing songs, eating Indian fare, talking philosophy, and gardening. Visit Gary’s website at www.thedreamweaver.com

"Now when my friends tell me they wish they had met Osho, I tell them that they have; he's in every note Deva and I sing - in every breath we take. That's what happens when you sit with the guruji - he/she dissolves into you until you become aware of the divine presence all the time, whatever you're doing, the presence is with you - tangible." - Miten
Miten established a successful career in the 70's and 80's as a singer/songwriter, touring with such bands as Fleetwood Mac, Lou Reed and Ry Cooder. Ultimately, he found the rock 'n' roll life-style unfulfilling and empty, and he began an inner search which led him into the world of meditation. It was at this time he came upon the most important and influential figure in his life, the mystic, Osho. Miten proceeded to live his explorations, spending most of his time in India at the ashram of Osho, where he eventually found a way to express his gratitude through music.
In 1990, Miten met Deva Premal in India and soon began a journey into love and creativity that has taken their inspiring blend of song, mantra and meditation to a worldwide audience. They have released a string of acclaimed CDs with international sales of nearly one million, and their concerts and ecstatic chant workshops are met with rave reviews throughout Europe, Australia, South America, Canada and the U.S. Deva Premal and Miten will perform at Bhakti Fest in Joshua Tree, CA on Friday, September 5th.

Sister Jenna welcomes Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell for a thought-provoking interview on the America Meditating Radio Program. On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey into outer space that resulted in becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon. This historic journey ended safely nine days later. It was an audacious time in the history of mankind. For Dr. Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come. Traveling back to Earth, having just walked on the moon, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell had an experience for which nothing in his life had prepared him. As he approached the planet we know as home, he was filled with an inner conviction as certain as any mathematical equation he'd ever solved. He knew that the beautiful blue world to which he was returning is part of a living system, harmonious and whole—and that we all participate, as he expressed it later, "in a universe of consciousness." Within two years of his expedition, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1973 and he serves on the board of directors of the Institute. Watch the Institute of Noetic Sciences video on ?Consciousness Matters :Exploring the Mysteries of Inner Space.? This video features: Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Deepak Chopra, Marilyn Schlitz, Dean Radin and Cassandra Vieten in an exploration of the Mysteries of Inner Space.

Tune in to America Meditating Radio as Sister Jenna delves into the karmic law of thoughts and its impact on our lives. Our thoughts create the world around us. We attract situations, people and experiences based on what we are thinking. Are you aware of what you are thinking? Are you satisfied with the reality they are creating for you? Thought is a seed; action is its fruit. The quality of fruit is determined by the quality of its seed. Good thoughts lead to good actions which benefit others as well as one's self. The Law of Karma begins to work to our advantage when we stop habitual actions that are harmful, take responsibility to positively address the consequences of any such actions performed in the past, and pay attention to performing positive actions from this moment forward. The Law of Karma is a law of absolute justice whose long arm reaches easily from one life to the next, enabling the soul to reap the fruit of whatever seeds it has sown and to create the destiny it wants.

On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey into outer space that resulted in becoming the sixth man to walk on the moon. This historic journey ended safely nine days later. It was an audacious time in the history of mankind. For Dr. Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come. Traveling back to Earth, having just walked on the moon, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell had an experience for which nothing in his life had prepared him. As he approached the planet we know as home, he was filled with an inner conviction as certain as any mathematical equation he'd ever solved. He knew that the beautiful blue world to which he was returning is part of a living system, harmonious and whole—and that we all participate, as he expressed it later, "in a universe of consciousness." Within two years of his expedition, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1973 and he serves on the board of directors of the Institute. Watch the Institute of Noetic Sciences video on ?Consciousness Matters :Exploring the Mysteries of Inner Space.? This video features: Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Deepak Chopra, Marilyn Schlitz, Dean Radin and Cassandra Vieten in an exploration of the Mysteries of Inner Space. For almost 40 years, the Institute of Noetic Sciences has explored the fundamental powers and potentials of consciousness using the tools of basic science.

We get to be happy without changing the situation. Patricia has been doing The Work for herself and with others for 13 years. She professes that The Work has been her ticket to freedom since starting her training. Now, she greets worries with a smile because she knows what to do: inquire as to what is really true.

CREATIVITY: When acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from our inner sanctuary of silence, inspiration flows. Every action has its seed in a thought and every thought is a creation of the thinker, the soul. I choose what thoughts I want to create, and as is my thinking so are my actions and also my experience of life. Going within, I touch the stillness and pure love that lie at the core of my being and every thought that I create is of benefit to me, and of benefit to humanity. - Watch Creativity Virtue Video -

The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart. If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn't want to see the light of day, I can never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and pouring positive, loving thoughts into my mind, I gradually clean out cynicism and unkindness. My mind should be so beautiful and welcoming that God Himself would want to come and visit it. - Watch Cleanliness Virtue Video -
