NIKA ANNON INTERVIEWS Cynthia lane

Cynthia Lane attended college on the West Coast where she discovered many kindred souls seeking deeper meaning and expanded purpose in their lives. Some of these friends turned her attention to teachings from the East—first Zen, and then masters from India. After a focused exploration of some of the life-enhancing modalities available at the time, she learned the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique offered by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Berkeley.

In 1996, Cynthia began to discover the indigenous traditions of the West, or the Americas. She spent several challenging years working with a Ho-Chunk teacher, who helped her clear many deeply-rooted spiritual and personal belief systems. During that period, she also opened to a profound and intimate relationship with the Earth: her wondrous creative nature, her healing and nourishing gifts and her deep wisdom. Cynthia felt like every cell in her body turned around 180 degrees as she learned to embrace life on Earth with a grounded kind of joy and openness that she had never before known.

Cynthia now runs First Light Transformations to help individuals open the door to clear, profound oneness with their infinite Source, and facilitates their ability to fully embody their Light-filled expression. She offers mentoring, retreats, individual sessions, workshops and teleconferences.

Nika annon interviews vickie peck

Vickie grew up in remote ranch country in Arizona, riding her pony through the desert, happily immersed in wild nature. Naturally inquisitive, she chose to study biology, receiving her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Arizona. As a research professor at the University of New Mexico Biology department, she studied the molecular genetics of aging and she taught courses ranging from freshman to graduate levels. In 2000, she founded Bio-Logic LLC, a consulting company focused on building biosensors for detecting infectious diseases. After many years in a fast-paced career, she felt a need to return to wild nature and to go inward. In 2007, she took a deep dive into a remote village in the Amazon. She lived as her Indigenous hosts did. She had no electronics, no plumbing and no contact outside the village. She ate what her hosts ate. When she returned home, she felt healthier than she could remember. A truly remarkable experience!
 

She also began to study indigenous healing practices with a teacher from Mexico, a journey that continues today. She is co-writing a book with her teacher, suggesting that contemporary science is not the first to discover deep principles of health, medicine and the cosmos. Vickie lives in an orchard in the Village of Placitas with her husband, some chickens and many wild creatures. She is currently leading an experimental farm project to explore place-based approaches for growing food while conserving water.

NIKA ANNON INTERVIEWS AUTHORS, Lewis Mehl-Madrona & Barbara Mainguy

Lewis Mehl-Madrona, M.D., Ph.D. and Barbara Mainguy, M.A., are the authors of Remapping Your Mind: The Neuroscience of Self-Transformation through Story.

Applying the latest neuroscience research on memory, brain mapping, and brain plasticity to the field of narrative therapy, Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy explain how the brain is specialized in the art of story-making and story-telling. They detail mind-mapping and narrative therapy techniques that use story to change behavior patterns in ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. They explore studies that reveal how memory works through story, how the brain recalls things in narrative rather than lists, and how our stories modify our physiology and facilitate health or disease. Drawing on their decades of experience in narrative therapy, the authors examine the art of helping people to change their story, providing brain-mapping practices to discover your inner storyteller and test if the stories you are living are functional or dysfunctional, healing or destructive. They explain how to create new characters and new stories, ones that excite you, help you connect with yourself, and deepen your intimate connections with others.

The authors also explore how narrative therapy can help replace dysfunctional cultural stories with those that offer templates for healthier relationships with each other and the planet.

Lewis Mehl-Madrona, M.D., Ph.D., is a physician and executive director of the Coyote Institute for Studies of Change and Transformation. The author of several books, including Narrative Medicine and Coyote Medicine, he lives in Augusta, Maine. http://www.mehl-madrona.com/

Nika Annon interviews transmedia artist and producer, Katy Walker, of the documentary film 'Time is Art''Time is Art' is a film about synchronicity and the rise of global collective consciousness. The film was inspired by acclaimed & visionary author José Argüelles’ studies in ancient indigenous wisdom.

The documentary shows how society has become disconnected from the natural rhythms of the earth by focusing only on money, consumerism and exploitation while deep down inside, individuals crave the return to a foundation of culture, community, and creation.

NIKA ANNON INTERVIEWS ANYES CARTRY

Anye Cartry is originally from France, where she studied psychology and linguistics at La Sorbonne  University, Paris before moving to California in 1989. Her urge to move to California to discover alternative psychological methods to heal people in distress was in great part fueled by her witnessing of her elder brother’s psychological suffering; he eventually committed suicide in 1992. Having been too young at the time to be of significant help, she was determined to continue exploring the spirit-mind-heart-body relationship to help people find more balance, harmony, well-being, communication and purpose in their lives.

She has helped many clients come back to balance and experience a significant increase in well-being through the combined benefits of Carl Jung’s alchemical processes, and Milton Erickson and David Quigley’s hypnotherapy techniques (healing through your own subconscious mind).

Anye is presently part of the trainer's track at the Alchemical Institute of Hypnotherapy in Santa Rosa, CA where she has been assisting in the training for the last 6 years, and continues to expand her education with advanced workshops, including prenatal and perinatal trauma and NLP.  Anye has a practice in Penn Valley, another one in Nevada City and is also available a few days a month - at Spa Therapy, Yuba City.

Nika annon interviews dr. john j. pilch, social scientific interpreter of the bible

Reports of prophetic dreams, journeys into the heavens, and of other alternate states of consciousness abound in the Old and New Testaments and in extra biblical literature. And although some scholars consider such reports to be simple literary devices, Dr. John J. Pilch -- a leading expert in social scientific interpretation of the Bible -- argues that ancient accounts of alternate consciousness are both plausible and significant, constituting a very commonplace, very real, and very human experience in their cultures of origin.

Integrating biblical exegesis with insights from anthropology, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and the social sciences, Pilch investigates and interprets such phenomena as Ezekiel's prophetic visions, Enoch's sky journeys, Jesus' transfiguration and ascension, Paul's ecstatic vision on the road to Damascus, John's heavenly journeys described in Revelation, and more. His innovative study presents a fresh and intriguing perspective on these fascinating, sometimes puzzling biblical accounts.

Create Your Bliss: Blue Prints For Manifesting Your Dreams

For many years I have dreamt of being a radio voice, and this my first show is that dream made manifest in a way I could never have imagined.  I love being a life coach, listening to people and drawing them to hear themselves and through their attention to themselves create the life they hunger for.  I have asked a number of amazing people to interview on topic ranging from learning modalities , somatic integration, nuero linguistic programming, trance work, creativity.  Creating the future with a client, inviting them to befriend themselves, transforming the critical innner voice to a loving supportive voice engages my whole being.    We are spirit made manifest, our greatest gift is our capacity to learn.  How do we expand into the greatness of ourselves, how do we support one another in the adventure of learning who we are?  Where do we hold ourselves back? What do we choose to do with our precious time here on this beautiful planet?
