The Dharma in Difficult Times: Stephen Cope and Mirjam Paninski in Conversation

Stephen Cope is a best-selling author and scholar who specializes in the relationship between the Eastern contemplative traditions and Western depth psychology. Among his seminal works in this area are: Yoga and the Quest for the True Self, The Wisdom of Yoga, and The Great Work of Your Life. His most recent work, Deep Human Connection, is an examination of the psychology, neurobiology, and spirituality of deep human connection, and the imperatives of human attachment—an issue of great importance to both the Eastern and Western traditions.

For almost thirty years, Stephen has been Scholar-in-Residence at the renowned Kripalu Center—the largest center for the study and practice of yoga in the Western world. Kripalu hosts almost 50,000 guests a year in its many yoga, meditation, and personal growth programs. It is located on a sprawling 200 acre estate in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. In addition to his role as Scholar-in-Residence, Stephen is the founder and former director of the Kripalu Institute for Extraordinary Living—one of the world’s most influential research institutes examining the effects and mechanisms of yoga and meditation, with a team of researchers from Harvard Medical School, University of Connecticut, University of Pennsylvania, and many more.

Stephen is the recipient of both a Telly and an Apple award for his work. In its twenty-fifth anniversary edition, “Yoga Journal” named him one of the most influential thinkers, writers, and teachers on the current American yoga scene.

The Energy to Heal: Lauren Walker and Dawson Church in Conversation

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."

Energy and Consciousness in Healing and Sports Performance: Rick Leskowitz and Dawson Church in Conversation

Rick Leskowitz MD is a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School’s Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. He is an expert on phantom limb pain as well as how energy and consciousness affect sports performance. In this conversation, Rick and Dawson discuss the role of energy fields in both individual and global healing.

Among the topics Rick and Dawson cover are: 

• Our energy fields have boundaries; and we can sense their edges.
• Physical trauma produces emotional wounding, and this is rarely addressed by doctors.
• EFT is a great way to release grief and pain.
• The energy of enthusiastic sports fans is measurable.
• Athletes know the energy of being in the "zone".
• Sports is a powerful path to transformation.
• Like magnets, energy fields don’t have to touch to interact.
• When heart and brain are in coherence, they entrain others nearby.
• The phenomenon of group consciousness can be as large as an entire nation.
• The Global Consciousness Project: using a network of computers to monitor worldwide shifts.
