Dr. Michael Lennox is a psychologist, astrologer, and expert in dreams and dream interpretation. He teaches classes in self-investigation to a worldwide audience and is the host of the weekly podcast, Conscious Embodiment: Astrology and Dreams. He is also the author of Llewellyn's Complete Dictionary of Dreams, Llewellyn's Little Book of Dreams, Dream Sight, and Psychic Dreamer.
A highly sought-after media expert, Dr. Lennox has been seen internationally on many television shows, beginning with the Sci-Fi Network’s The Dream Team with Annabelle and Michael, in January 2003.

His radio appearances talking about the power of dreams number in the hundreds.

Dr. Lennox obtained his Master's and Doctorate in Psychology from The Chicago School. Astrology and Personality, his Doctoral Dissertation, is published by Lambert Academic Publishing out of Germany.
Dr. Lennox and Mirjam discuss many fascinating topics including how to manifest your desired reality with dreamwork. Some people may dismiss dreams as mere figments of the imagination, but they actually hold significant meaning and can even influence our reality. Because they operate at a level below conscious awareness, our dreams provide a unique portal to the workings of our subconscious mind, the hidden powerhouse where the information, beliefs, and experiences that shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions are stored. Through dream work, we can explore the subconscious beliefs that are holding us back from achieving our desires. We can also consciously use our dreams to program our subconscious with positive beliefs and intentions and actively participate in manifesting our desired outcomes.

Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator who works within the complexity of systems and cultural change by integrating the core insights of the great wisdom traditions and mysticism with the discoveries of science.
Since 2004, he has taught and facilitated programs with more than 100,000 people worldwide, including online courses which he began offering in 2013. He is the author of Attuned: Practicing Interdependence to Heal Our Trauma—and Our World (2023) and Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds (2020), which was featured in Oprah Daily as one of “10 Books to Help with Old, Painful Traumas”. He has published articles in Harvard Health and the Journal of Awareness-Based Systems Change.
Hübl has served as an advisor and guest faculty for organizations and universities and is currently a visiting scholar at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. As a coach and trainer, he supports CEOs and leaders in their personal and professional development and in becoming trauma informed. He has presented talks and taught workshops on resilience, collective healing, and relational competencies for healing trauma at Harvard Medical School since 2019.
Born in Austria, Hübl studied medicine at the University of Vienna and worked as a paramedic for nine years. He left his studies at the University in the 1990s to begin a new life path focused on teaching meditation and mindfulness-based awareness practices. He began holding retreats in Austria and Germany in the early 2000s and noticed that many participants began to voice some of their deeply held intergenerational wounds stemming from the second World War.
As these programs evolved over the next two decades, he developed the Collective Trauma Integration Process for working with individual, ancestral, and collective trauma. This model promotes a safe exploration of sharing and reflection, guided by a facilitation process that supports radical openness, transparent communication, mindful awareness, and refined relational competencies.
Hübl has led large-scale events that have brought together thousands of Germans and Israelis to acknowledge, face, and heal the cultural shadow left by the Holocaust. Over the past ten years, his intensive training programs have addressed the persistent challenges of our time – climate anxiety, racism, gender violence, and political polarization, among others – through the lens of individual, ancestral, and collective trauma.
The interdisciplinary nature of Hübl’s work has been shared with and practiced by organizations and working groups of physicians, psychologists, and therapists. Since 2019, Hübl has hosted an annual Collective Trauma Summit which has brought together hundreds of prominent speakers and draws hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the world.
In 2017, Hübl and his wife, Israeli artist Yehudit Sasportas, founded The Pocket Project, an NGO dedicated to addressing and integrating collective trauma throughout the world. Trauma-informed leadership, post-genocide reform, and a practice called “global social witnessing” are key areas of focus and activity.

Mary Firestone survived the unthinkable. In 2018 she lived through the Montecito mudslide that dropped 200 million gallons of rainfall in 15 minutes, washing away her home. Trapped alone in her bathroom while pregnant, not sure if her husband and four-year-old son were still alive, she wasn’t thinking that her trauma was a gift in disguise. Yet, as she began her journey to healing, this is exactly what she discovered.
In her book, Trusting the Dawn, Firestone draws from both her own real-life experiences and her background in clinical psychology to offer a radical, integrative handbook for not only healing from trauma but awakening to even more joy and meaning because of your experiences. Stories of triumphant survival and interviews with experts bring to life an extensive resource guide and a holistic toolkit filled with a wide variety of pathways to healing―from movement therapies like yoga, to aromatherapy and flower essences, to traditional talk therapy and support groups, to pharmacology and Chinese medicine, to mystical healing methods, and much more.
Central to Firestone’s teachings is the idea that your trauma, in whatever form it slayed you, can become an initiation into a fuller, more illuminated, and more joyful life. Trusting the Dawn is a call to action to see that you are more complex, multi-dimensional, connected, and powerful, not in spite of what you’ve been through, but because of what you’ve endured.
Mary Firestone is a graduate of Princeton University and has an MA in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. Her own transformative epiphanies led her, along with her sister Lucy, to create their company Firestone Sisters Inc. in 2012, with the aim of providing others with healing and growth opportunities. She's been featured in Goop, Well+Good, and Forbes.

Nancy Sokol Green is a former classroom teacher, trainer of teachers, and author of Connection Mode. She developed Brain Highways, an innovative educational program used in many schools throughout the United States. The exercises used in the program rewire the brain to live in “connection mode,” which fosters curiosity, focus and compassion. Over 20,000 children and adults have gone through the Brain Highways program since 1999.
Nancy's website (https://www.brainhighways.com/) has many free videos and an online screening that shows us how to get into connection mode.
She and Dawson share about:
- Nancy's background
- Brain development
- Adults with "compensating with behaviors"
- Examples of these compensations are:
- Rocking back and forth in your chair
- Tapping on your finger, the chair, the floor
- Excessive humming
- Worry about tags on your clothing
- Muttering or talking under your breath
- Feeling everything acutely, like the pressure of the tags on your clothing
- Texture of food drives people crazy
- Can't make eye contact
- Eyes move around or they tilt their head when they’re reading
- EFT tapping is one way to bring people back into connection mode
- Tapping is both replenishing and resolving
- Ways of encouraging 3 years old to tap, different ways for teens

He has a PhD in Ecological Economics and focuses on forest conservation, climate change, sustainable finance, and organizational transformation. His spiritual journey began at the age of 23 with an encounter with native spirituality in Mexico, before embracing the wisdom of a wide range of traditions and practices, including meditation, energetic healing and Tai-chi-chuan. He lives with his wife and their two young daughters near Plum Village, the monastery of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in the Southwest of France. His spiritual search, his thought as a social scientist and his professional experience have gradually converged on the importance of spiritual wisdom in humanity’s ongoing transition. His book The Politics of Being presents a way to mainstream this understanding in the political and sustainability conversation.

- Thích Nhất Hạnh's “engaged spirituality”
- How do we organize societies for love and compassion?
- Parenting for secure attachment

- Health includes healing emotions and living as a spiritual journey
- Political systems would not be polarized, driven by ideologies
- People at every level would be involved in decision making

Joseph Selbie enjoys making the complex and obscure simple and clear. He is the author of Break Through the Limits of the Brain, how neuroscience supports spiritual experience, The Physics of God, a unification of science and religion, and The Yugas, a factual look at India’s tradition of cyclical history. He is known for creating bridges of understanding between the modern evidenced-based discoveries of science and the timeless experience-based discoveries of the mystics. A dedicated Kriya yoga meditator for nearly fifty years, he has taught yoga, meditation, and universal experiential spirituality throughout the US and Europe.
In 1975 Joseph became a founding member of Ananda, a spiritual community and movement inspired by the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. His role as teacher and minister, and decades of study under Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Yogananda, gave him a deep dive into Eastern philosophy, meditation, and comparative religion. Joseph is also a critical thinker grounded in science having studied physics, chemistry, and microbiology at the University of Colorado. His presentations, classes, articles, and books have always blended science and spirituality.
Now retired, Joseph was a founder and the CEO of Tristream, an early pioneer in experience design for the web. He collaborated with Jakob Nielsen, the thought leader in experience design, to write Best Team Practices for Web Application Design and spoke at many Nielsen-Norman Group conferences in the United States and Europe. Tristream clients included Cisco, Logitech, Ariba/SAP, Manpower, Tektronix, and Wells Fargo.
Joseph's latest book, Break Through the Limits of the Brain, connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience, and offers proven and practical ways to tap into the life-changing, life-enhancing abilities of our superconscious potential.

Charles and Carol Crenshaw are the authors of EFT for Meditation. Longtime meditators, they show how to apply EFT to the different styles of meditation. Beginning meditators often find it hard to still the body and quiet the mind. EFT stress-reduction methods help with both. Charles and Carol show how to use EFT to overcome resistance to meditation and discover the point of inner peace. Their book begins with a quick start guide that gives readers an immediate experience combining tapping with deep meditation. Dawson, Charles and Carol discuss the research using EEG, MRI and gene chips to measure the changes that happen in the bodies of meditators. In just a few weeks, the volume of tissue in the brain’s emotion-regulation circuits increases, while cancer and metabolism genes are regulated. Among the wide range of topics they cover are:
- The commonality in all the many meditation traditions is the breath
- Different forms of meditation: chanting, movement, visualization, mindfulness
- Various learning styles: verbal, visual, auditory, kinesthetic
- Meditation coordinates all the different channels of your physiology
- When nothing seems to be happening during meditation
- Starting with a few minutes a day
- A system to be a successful meditator
- Finding the time of day that works best for you to practice meditation
- Learning to do what’s good for you long-term, elevating it above short-term feelings

Dawson Church, PhD, is the author of Mind to Matter: The Astonishing Science of How Our Brains Create Material Reality (and host of this podcast). In this hour-long episode, Dawson outlines the science of showing that our thoughts are creative. The habitual thoughts and behaviors practiced in our brains generate energy fields. Studies show that these fields can affect the growth of cells and the synthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters and enzymes in our bodies. They can also affect the molecular structure of water and other compounds. There are hundreds of studies showing the healing effects of energy. While approaching healing as a material project can be useful as shifting energy can produce rapid healing effects.
Other points Dawson addresses:
-
How our brains are adding neural capacity moment by moment
-
The number of synaptic connections in a much-used neural pathway can double within an hour
-
Brain volume measurements show that mindfulness can produce a 20%+ increase in regulation circuits in just 8 weeks
-
Energy flowing through neural pathways produces electromagnetic fields around them; these fields interact with other fields, and can explain distant healing
-
Healing energy alters the molecular structure of water
-
Each of the 6 primary brain waves can regulate regeneration of different cell types

Dan Siegel, PhD, is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is the author of several bestselling books including Mind: A Journey into the Heart of Being Human. In this second part of a two-part series, Dan and Dawson talk about how much bigger the mind is than the brain. They reference research showing that quantum entanglement applies not just at the molecular level, but to large living systems. Besides fields at the level of atoms and molecules, there are large scale fields extending even to the level of societies. These may be the mechanism connecting minds at a distance. When we fill our personal experience with love and kindness, our interior worlds reach out to shape the larger fields of nonlocal mind.
Dan and Dawson discuss:
- The old view that mind and consciousness are epiphenomena of complex brains is outdated
- Social fields that connect large numbers of human beings
- Energy is the movement of possibility to actuality
- How thoughts can move intention toward collapsing possibility into probability
- The phenomenon of shared mind can extend to the macro level
- The 3 ingredients of a connected life: focused attention, open awareness, kind intention
- The way your state of mind will influence people 3 degrees of separation away

Lauren Walker has been teaching yoga and meditation since 1997. She created Energy Medicine Yoga while teaching at Norwich University, the oldest private military college in the country. She is frequently quoted and cited as an expert in Yoga Journal, Mantra Magazine, and Yoga Digest, and a feature article about her work was recently published in The New York Times. Her two previous books, The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription and Energy Medicine Yoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Yoga Practice, both won Nautilus Silver Awards for Best Mind/Body publication. In 2016, she was named one of the top 100 most influential yoga teachers in America. Her latest book, The Energy to Heal, is an empowering and reassuring guide for our stressful and traumatic times.
Dawson wrote an endorsement for Lauren's book, The Energy to Heal:
"In this book Lauren Walker eloquently reminds us that our bodies have a remarkable ability to heal, that they contain boundless energy, and that we can harness it intentionally. She provides many vivid examples of how we instinctively turn to energy, using interventions as simple as massaging a sore muscle or humming a soothing tune. Yet energy techniques can also be used to unblock the trauma we all experience. It's stored in your body's muscles, organs and connective tissue as energy. Unless we release that trauma, it weighs down both our bodies and minds. The book's central chapters are based on the Chinese medicine Five Elements model, and each contains practical exercises to free old energy and refresh the new. Energy needs to move, and the exercises the author provides show you how to open up space in your body for that movement. Because each of us has so much control over our personal energy, it's the first place to focus on when our intention is to heal a disease, manifest abundance, or cultivate happiness. This inspiring book shows you how."

Brandy Gillmore, Ph.D., is a motivational speaker, author, and Mind/Body & Energy Expert. Brandy’s expertise in self-healing originated from a devastating injury, where she found herself somewhere she never thought she’d be — disabled, and in excruciating pain. She used a wheelchair, cane, or walker to get around and was on various forms of medications and morphine and yet still in extreme pain. After one doctor after another said there was nothing they could do for her, Brandy became determined to find a solution. She did not care where it came from, only that it worked. After years of studying day and night looking for answers, her research eventually led to the mind. The answers she found were profound and life-changing. Brandy came to the eye-opening awareness that we all have much more influence over our health than we realize. These insights enabled her to heal herself and ultimately gave her back her life (only better!). In going through her recovery, Brandy developed an intense sensitivity to emotions and energy — a condition similar to what the medical community calls Mirror Touch Synesthesia, where one person can feel what another is feeling. In more simple terms, Brandy developed the ability to feel the emotions and energy that others are experiencing. This ability has provided her with a unique insight into healing and helping people achieve their own healing results at record-breaking speeds! As she helps people she states, “I’m not diagnosing people, or curing people, rather I’m empowering people!” She continues to tell those she helps: “You’re even more amazing than you realize, your brain just doesn’t know it yet.” It’s been proven that the subconscious mind is the biggest factor is human behavior. Therefore, when we make changes to the mind for purposes of healing, the results are life-changing! She states: “When we rewire our thoughts, we transform our health and our lives.”
Brandy has developed quick and effective ways for changes to occur, including “G.E.T. Health” the “Gillmore Empowerment Technique” and “The 4 Mind-Body- Soul Keys For Transformation.”

Steve Taylor, PhD, is the author of Extraordinary Awakenings and many other bestselling books. He is a senior lecturer in psychology at Leeds Beckett University and the chair of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society. Steve’s articles and essays have been published in over 100 academic journals, magazines, and newspapers, and he blogs for Scientific American and Psychology Today. For 15 years Steve has been researching cases of spontaneous spiritual awakening triggered by intense psychological turmoil. In times of intense stress, a miraculous transformation sometimes occurs: the death of an old identity and the birth of a new, spiritually awakened self. He explains why intense suffering can lead to spiritual growth.
He offers insights from his research, along with actionable principles that we can apply to our own spiritual development.
- Whether or not turmoil leads to a breakthrough depends on a person’s attitude towards their predicament
- If bitterness and resentment, the trauma is just suffering
- But if you face reality, then embrace and accept it, it can lead to breakthrough
- Particular experiences have the potential to awaken you
- Bereavement often gives rise to transformation
- Four different areas in which our awareness expands during a spiritual awakening
- Four-step process of responding to suffering and turmoil to help harness their transformational power
- Going into our own inner space
- Collective trauma

RJ Spina is the author of Supercharged Self-Healing. He tells the story of how he was paralyzed from the chest down in 2016 and told he would never walk again. Yet he transcended these limitations and was healed after an “awakening” experience of grace. He is now a metaphysical teacher and healer who has dedicated his life to the freeing and healing of humanity on all levels.
Here he and Dawson talk about:
- RJ's story
- Our own higher consciousness has no limitations whatsoever
- Everything is within us but not within our intellect
- The five physical senses are only tuned to a limited bandwidth
- Healing isn’t linear
- The ego mind identity: the human persona we create, things that are not us

Bernardo Kastrup's work leads the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in philosophy and another Ph.D. in computer engineering. Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and now heads the Essential Foundation. Formulated in detail in many academic papers and books, his ideas have been featured in Scientific American and Big Think. Bernardo's most recent book is The Idea of the World: A multi-disciplinary argument for the mental nature of reality.
Here he and Dawson reflect on:
- The physicalist postulate, that the physical world of matter is objective reality, is untenable.
- Experiments in mainstream physics demonstrating this in the past 40 years.
- Physicality is a representation of a deeper layer of reality which is itself non-physical. It’s mental.
- Human potential movement has distorted the idea to say that you can believe something mentally and it will come true.
- The massive paradigm shifts in several branches of science.

Host Dr. Dawson Church shares why trauma healing must be completed before aspiring to self-actualization as well as how tapping deals with trauma buried in the psyche and is a prelude to the elevated states of Bliss Brain. Why, if you go to Bliss Brain without healing trauma, those unhealed parts become the shadow self which sabotages your progress. The MRI research shows that we can become 7x as happy as we might have believed possible. The Long Path to enlightenment will get you there, but it involves tens of thousands of hours of practice, abstinence, and stern self-discipline. The Short Path is also available, and with evidence-based training, can get you there quickly.

Host Dr. Dawson Church and his guest Emily Francis talk about healing ourselves especially where trauma is involved.
The mind has an ability to check out in many situations when someone experiences trauma. Some refer to it as shock. For example: after an accident, more times than not the person will be hazy about the experience and cannot properly recall the entire set of events. We basically separate ourselves from any impact that may be occurring to the body itself. That is a gift of the mind that helps us to survive. The body, however, does not have that same luxury. The body cannot leave itself. The body takes the pain and absorbs the trauma. The way that our bodies store those particular memories is different from the way that our minds may remember it. When we learn how to dialogue with our body directly in order to recall the memories as they actually occurred and without the narrative of the mind, we can help our body release the stored pain and trauma that may have eluded us in our attempts to heal to this point. On the flip side, an important piece of the work offered Emily’s book and work, is to use the same dialoguing skills with the body to access the happy and joyful memories that the soft tissues store in order to produce more of the same. Following this guidance, we can create within ourselves a place of overall connectedness and personal empowerment. This can result in an increase in overall health, vitality, and wellness that can drastically improve our quality of life.

What does it mean to live a Spark filled life? It means waking up to a morning filled with possibility and potential that you intentionally plug into. It means moving past your PAST and leaning in fully to the present moment to create the kind of future you want, full of joy, abundance, and magical moments! The Spark is compelling and inspiring, guidance from Stephanie James, LCSW, who has drawn on her skills and vast experience as a psychotherapist. Stephanie shares current research techniques that helps readers gain clarity and understanding to help them easily assimilate and integrate them into their own lives.
Beginning with an understanding of how our brains and beliefs can keep us stuck in old habits, as well as ways to transform these beliefs, The Spark takes you on a journey through learning how to rewire thoughts and change your inner dialogue. It further explores our deep, hardwired need for connection and how it serves us, and how you can spice up your love life and cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships!
Part of the collective wisdom of The Spark comes from its ability to not only educate the reader on how to deal with uncomfortable feelings, but how to ignite the sparks within each one of us to live a richer more fulfilling life. As we heal ourselves, we become the concentric rings that that ripple out to all others. The book moves us to heal and teaches us how to reinvent ourselves (no matter what age or stage in life), plug into our greatest joy, and contribute our own gifts to the greater good in our world.
Uniquely equipped for times like these, Psychotherapist Stephanie James brings 30 years of rea-world experience, empowerment and “grit” to her clients and her audiences. A graduate of the University of Denver, Stephanie shares her training and gifts in her inspirational presentations as well as in her dynamic radio show and podcast, The Spark with Stephanie James. In a world desperately in need of love, healing and a clear path forward, Stephanie utilizes her expertise, experience and amazing interviews with today’s luminaries to bring The Spark to your life. She ignites her own life by being a leader in a local Random Acts of Kindness group, spending time with her two daughters and jumping on the trampoline with her grandsons.
Stephanie and co-producer Doug Beechwood recently completed a film, When Sparks Ignite, written by Stephanie and directed by Doug. The film features luminaries and thought leaders on a unique journey through life’s hardship and heartaches, to a place of healing where transformation of our own lives and that of our greater humanity is possible. We never know what sparks we might ignite in one another.

Dr. Adriana Popescu is a licensed clinical psychologist and empowerment coach with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. She is a certified hypnotherapist and finds that EFT and other Energy Psychology methods provide incredibly powerful tools to identify and eliminate the deep-rooted causes of suffering and distress. She specializes in treating addiction, co-occurring disorders, and trauma, and has directed a number of treatment programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is currently the Clinical Director at Avery Lane, an innovative treatment program for women with co-occurring trauma, addiction and mental health disorders. She loves to empower people to overcome their perceived limitations, release their self-judgments, and discover the brilliance within.
She and Dawson are friends, and here they reflect on:
How Addiction is a social disease, triggered by loneliness. Why conventional treatment is substance abuse focused, the usual approach is to treat trauma later.
Why most conventional treatments use the 12-step model with drug and alcohol counselors rather than Energy Psychology.
From the ACEs study we know that when people go through traumatic events produces lasting impact on brain and body.
Addiction clients are so used to growing up with trauma that meditation feels foreign, weird, they’re not used to relaxation.
Early on tapping, helps them get back in their body, brings cortisol and adrenaline down.
Starting with 10 minute guided meditation; brains can change and regenerate.
What creates sustained recovery is to let go of old persona and claim your light self.
