The Aware Show The Aware Show with Lisa Garr

How many cycles of global warming have occurred over the lifetime of this planet? And where are we going from here? These are the kinds of questions asked in Dr. Anodea Judith’s book “Waking the Global Heart: Humanity’s Rite of Passage From Love of Power to the Power of Love.” This work is considered groundbreaking in the field of Transpersonal Psychology and used as definitive texts in the U.S. and abroad.
Today she discusses the history of the melting of the ice caps, the cycles of nature, and how humanity with carbon emissions, population growth, and so much more is affecting the planet. She states that we must evolve into a network which works together to begin to solve some of the global challenges. She talks about how more than 20% of the human population does not have access to clean drinking water. This is an environmental catastrophe. The United States could lead, but it would take a rite of passage. During this time, we are forced to look at terrorism and climate change. There are deaths, but we could look toward rebirth and more sustainable ways of living. As humans, we must graduate to another level. Civilizations are always rising and falling. This is a global world change. Every new moment has people who believe these ideas and concepts will not work. New ideas always get attacked and it may take decades for acceptance. We have an opportunity to move into an age of ethics, rather than an age of power.
She reminds us that the cutting-edge of culture never comes from the mainstream – it always comes from the fringe.
Anodea has been called “a prophet for our time.” A groundbreaking thought leader and best-selling author, she worked as a therapist in private practice for more than 20 years. Today she is the director of Sacred Centers, a teaching organization she founded that offers workshops worldwide.  Judith holds a doctoral degree in Psychology and Human Health, is a  yoga teacher, and  is considered the foremost Western writer on the subject of the chakra system. She also is a faculty member of the Shift Network. Info:  AnodeaJudith.com

What’s your sign? Would you like to know what’s happening with your individual Astrology for the remainder of 2024? Lisa continues the conversation today with expert astrologer Susan Miller who is an internationally known author, columnist, entrepreneur, publisher, and pioneer of the Internet.  She is the respected founder of  AstrologyZone.com.
The astrological year starts with Aries. The first half of the year is completely different from the second half.  May 25 is the demarcation line. Susan asks us to look at both our Sun Sign Chart, as well as our Rising Sign. She goes through each sign, step by step, and shares details of what’s in store.
May has so many beautiful aspects for everyone. May 17 and 18 are considered the luckiest days of the year, as Jupiter conjuncts the Sun.
Susan lists important days in her calendar and reminds us that the universe cannot give us things if we don’t know what we want. It is a great time to set intentions. Everything in astrology is about timing. Travel agencies will do well and logistics companies, too. All communications will do well. Jupiter and Pluto will be magical.
April 20 will be a very lucky day when Jupiter conjuncts Uranus. This is a very rare conjunction and can bring hope, happiness, and joyous breakthroughs. It’s a great day for every sign. Susan asks us to consider donating for a charity raffle ticket as it’s a time for winning. It’s time to take action.
She shares which signs will travel, which signs will get their dream job, and which signs will find love. She also talks about expenses and who will be the “money magnets” with bonuses, refunds, commissions, and more.
Susan discusses her detailed monthly horoscopes, as well as her apps. She mentions Taylor Swift and how it’s her time globally! Susan analyzed her chart for the Washington Post and describes how so many of her planets are in money houses. Beyonce also has money in her astrology chart. It shows that energy goes into making money as well as how she uses it to help others.
Even with upcoming Mercury Retrogrades this year, as well as Mars Retrograde in December into 2025, overall, 2024 has very positive aspects!

Do you sometimes feel unwell after a meal? Are you tired or fatigued after eating? Did you know it could be a food allergy or inflammation? Our guest today is Dr. Tom O’Bryan who is an expert in food sensitivities and the way they affect our lives. Our body can attack itself when we are eating the wrong foods and cause inflammation.
 
The Center for Disease Control reports that 14 out of the top 15 causes of disease are caused by chronic inflammation.
 
But what is inflammation? And is it always bad for you? Dr. Tom has extensively researched inflammatory disease and the root mechanism behind disease. So, how do you reduce inflammation?
 
Dr. O’Bryan and his colleagues have debuted a new docuseries called “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.”  This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide. For info about Dr. Tom O’Bryan and to find out more about “The Inflammation Equation,” visit TheDr.com and https://rkt511.isrefer.com/go/tie24/theawareshow.
 
In today’s interview, he explains how we have very little bacteria when we are born, yet we die with 90% bacteria according to experts. Our microbiome changes due to our environment.  Dr. Tom shares a personal story about the birth of his son and the microbiome he was born with during an emergency C-section. He also talks about the components of breast milk and the way it affects the baby.
 
We must always put emphasis on a healthy microbiome. Depending on the type of bacteria you have, you may not feel well physically or mentally. You may be depressed or feeling anxiety. This is influenced by what’s in your gut’s microbiome. This tells the body how to function, digest, think, and so much more. He talks about metabolism and the blood stream, which activates your genes and how it is all affected by the microbiome. Inflammation can be activated.
 
According to Dr. Tom, we go from health to disfunction, then to disease. It’s always inflammation causing this. When brain fog starts, when you forget where you parked, or where you left your keys, you may be heading down the path of disease. In fact, there is a 400% increase in Alzheimer’s in younger people, based on studies over the last four years. This is completely from chronic inflammation. There’s new information for Baby Boomers, as well as women of childbearing age. The incidents of autism are skyrocketing as well as children on antidepressants. This can also be because of plastics found in so many places such as water bottles. Yet, there is hope and we can learn what our bodies need to be healthy.

 Would you like to know what’s in store Astrologically for the remainder of 2024? Our guest today is expert astrologer Susan Miller who is an internationally known author, columnist, entrepreneur, publisher, and pioneer of the Internet.  She is the respected founder of AstrologyZone.com. Her site is considered an authority in the field of Western astrology and is read avidly by 13 million unique readers a year. She is a highly respected Astrological “thinker” and is recognized worldwide for her astrological writings into areas of business, technology, lifestyle, culture, and the economy.



Susan talks about how she launched AstrologyZone.com just as the digital world was beginning to gain popularity in 1995. She discusses the history of astrology going back to ancient Mesopotamia. The shepherds tended their flocks and started noting shifting patterns in the stars, as well as the farmers watching the full moons.  The Greeks loved astrology as well as the Romans, while the Egyptians were expert mathematicians and were also fascinated by the movement of the stars and planets.
Susan explains the meaning of conjunctions when planets are perfectly aligned, and how when two planets get within 8 degrees, they start communicating. She reflects on the dark aspects of the movement of planets that was happening at the beginning of the pandemic. It was a very isolating time, which is an Aquarian trait, yet there were many changes that moved us into a digital age and masses of people working from home.
Susan further discusses how Capricorn is moving into Aquarius and the looming effects of Pluto. She says we must look at the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn as well. Planets have been in Earth signs the past 200 years and signaled the start of the Industrial Age. Now it will happen in the Air signs. This will lead us further into an Age of Technology with driverless cars, robots, the rise of AI, etc., and so many things that haven’t even been invented yet. Astrologically, it’s starting to happen.

Do you want to nourish the spirit, as well as the body? Would you like to inspire love and romance through food?  How can you create harmony between everyone at the table? Well, according to our guests today, you can do this and more with the foods you choose to serve! Mother Denise Linn and her daughter Meadow Linn have teamed up to write “Mystic Cookbook: The Secret Alchemy of Food.”  It’s a provocative, insightful, and beautiful book that will open your eyes to the remarkable link between nourishment and spiritual awakening.  
Denise Linn, the best-selling author of 20 books, has researched healing traditions from cultures around the world for more than 35 years. Her spiritual journey began as a teenager when she had a near-death experience after being shot by an unknown gunman. The revelations she received on the “other side” and the subsequent amazing healing of her wounds led Denise to eventually become an internationally respected healer, writer, and teacher.
Her daughter, Meadow Linn, is a speaker, writer, and chef.  While cooking for her mother’s retreats, Meadow noticed there was a powerful connection between not just what we eat, but also how we eat, and how we feel. Having watched countless people transform their lives simply by making mealtimes fun and delicious, she decided to devote herself to finding ways to savor life more fully.  With her mother, she has co-written “The Mystic Cookbook: The Secret Alchemy of Food.”  Info: DeniseLinn.com and MeadowLinn.com.

Are you having health challenges? Do you feel overweight and want to feel more fit? Lisa continues the conversation today with Master Teacher and Executive Coach Chris Howard. He's been in the field of transformation for more than two decades and now he has integrated AI technology into his teachings. He shares his excitement and talks about ways to gain a renewed sense of possibility by reframing and seeing things in a different way. Whether it’s issues with health, business, relationships, finances, or any other challenges, Chris teaches how positive change can happen rapidly and powerfully.
Chris is currently writing a book called “Your Super Conscious” in which he examines his research of how we determine our reality and how we can find so much more potential, especially when we incorporate AI, which he calls, “Augmented Intelligence.”  He also talks about esoteric study and how it looks at the similarities in human consciousness. Mystery schools and rituals can help you to navigate the world. With Augmented Intelligence, it brings possibilities into the conversation. It moves from fear-based to hope. Chris further discusses new text to video technology that’s coming out soon and how the world is changing at a rapid pace. This augmentation of intelligence  brings out greater wisdom to enrich and expand our model of the world. Chris invites us to ask, “What’s possible?” We can move powerfully into a new reality, if we so choose, by beginning to shift our imagination and consciousness. When you shift your understanding, you can begin to move forward and take command of challenges. This is Part 2 of the interview.
