Awakenings with Michele Meiche -Spirituality & Metaphysics for Empowerment

Michele is excited to have research paleoanthropologist and shamanic practitioner Hank Wesselman return for another mind opening discussion this week on Awakeings Radio. Hank Wesselman is one of those rare cutting edge scientists who truly walks between the worlds. He did his undergraduate work, as well as his Masters Degree, in Zoology at the University of Colorado at Boulder, then went on to receive his doctoral degree in Anthropology from the University of California at Berkeley. A native New Yorker, he has spent much of his life working among traditional tribal peoples, primarily in Africa and Polynesia. He served in the US Peace Corps in the 60's, living among people of the Yoruba Tribe in Nigeria for two years. For the past 30 years, he has conducted research with an international group of scientists, exploring eastern Africa's Great Rift Valley in search of answers to the mystery of human origins. During this time, he has worked alongside such worthies as Dr. Don Johanson, Lucy's discoverer (Lucy was the cover story for National Geographic’s July 2010 issue); Professor Tim White, whose expeditions have been featured in several TIME magazine cover stories, as well as members of the famous Leakey family. Hank is also a shamanic student, practitioner and teacher, now in the 28th year of his apprenticeship.

Marguerite Manning, professional astrologer, author, and spiritual life coach joins Michele Meiche today on Awakenings Radio for a discussion on astrology and birth charts. Marguerite specializes in advancing the universal law of karma through the scientific principles of astrology. She is the founder of Cosmic Connections, a personal enlightenment and astrological counseling service in the Washington, D.C. area. Marguerite’s work is inspired by the philosophy of Carl Sagan, the spirituality of Edgar Cayce, and the belief that only when science and spirit work together does this universe work divinely. Marguerite’s best selling book, “Cosmic Karma, Understanding Your Contract With The Universe,” demonstrates that by studying your birth chart in the same way ancient astronomers believed it should be studied - as a universal birth map of your soul's chosen energies for this lifetime – you get to discover the most empowering universal secret of all: your birth energies only reflect your ability to be great and shine bright in this lifetime because they’re actually a celestial documentation of your soul’s promise to aim higher and do better than it did in the last one. www.margueritemanning.com

In 1950, Radhanath Swami (nee Richard Slavin) was born into a middle class Jewish family in Chicago. At age 19, he set out to wander the world in search of a closer connection to God. Today, Radhanath Swami is one of India’s premier spiritual leaders, with public appearances that draw thousands of followers. Loyal supporters of Radhanath Swami donate millions of dollars each year, all of which is used to head up some of the most highly regarded community service projects in Mumbai. From the formation of a massive food distribution center for indigent children to emergency relief programs to the creation of an orphanage, an eye clinic, and a hospital—his contributions to India are so vast they have earned him a celebrity-like status. And yet Radhanath Swami’s life is anything but glamorous. As a Swami—or “monk exclusively dedicated to God’s services”—he has taken a vow of poverty, celibacy, and abstinence from intoxicants. He has no property, no bank account, and not a penny to his name. But he has found the one thing so many strive to achieve: the path to enlightenment. He has just recently released his new book “THE JOURNEY HOME: Autobiography of an American Swami.” Radhanathswami.com

Insights imparted by his travels and research as well as Indigenous elders from around the world became the basis for Dreaming the Pyramid. The premise behind Dreaming the Pyramid is that we as well as our Extraterrestrial brethren and God co-created the Universe and left proof of our divine nature and purpose within the design of Egypt's Great Pyramid. According to Wuttunee, the Pyramid represents humans as immortal, divine, omniscient, and androgenous beings. Here is an excerpt from Dreaming the Pyramid, a site dedicated to Wuttunee’s assertions and created by Stephane: On Crystals…. “Two thirds of our total body mass is water (and to a far lesser degree, minerals). These elements are, in turn, subject to the geological processes of crystallization. Simply being alive prevents these elements from cooling down, solidifying, and forming crystal lattices at cold temperatures. We are therefore, liquid crystal beings.” - Stephane Wuttunee - From Dreaming the Pyramid – http://www.dreamingthepyramid.net

Very often 'Forgiveness' and being willing to move on is what leads you to that which is new and emerging in your life. To forgive, is to not forget, but to bring your energy, focus, awareness and 'life' into the present in a way that you have the energy to be fully 'present' in your 'present' to allow your future to be co-created This 'present' is a gift to you; and the future your unfolding...and becoming. Non-Forgiveness thwarts our becoming... When a person cannot forgive it is usually because there is a fear of moving forward in their life and expanding to have all they want. Non-Forgiveness ties that fear to us and keeps us stuck in the past... You find your true resonance by being able to be led by your inner guidance. And, this inner guidance always moves us to that which is unfolding and emerging in our life. Our life is a magical co-creation; in which the ego/personality is to respond to by being 'Spirit Led'.
