Got stress? A recent survey says that Americans have high stress levels and 53% said they received little or no stress management support from their health care providers. Two thirds of office visits to primary care physicians can be tied to stress. Stress can lead to inflammation which contributes to long term health problems like cancer and heart disease. My guest this week, Clinical Psychologist Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli, says….”We work too much, sleep too little, love with half a heart, and wonder why we are unhappy and unhealthy.” In his new book, The Stress Solution, he provides readers with simple, realistic, powerful techniques for using empathy and cognitive behavioral therapy to perceive situations accurately, correct distorted thinking, and trigger our own neurochemistry to produce calm, focused energy.

Dr. Ciaramicoli is a licensed clinical psychologist and the chief medical officer of soundmindz.org, a popular mental health platform. He has been on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and chief psychologist of Metrowest Medical Center. He is the author of several books, including The Power of Empathy and Performance Addiction.

Most listeners to Destination Unlimited practice some form of meditation and probably have for many years if not decades. You may practice TM, or Zazen or some basic yogic meditation. Is your practice satisfying? Does it promote the healing and state of well-being and spiritual connection that you are seeking?

My guest this week, Lisa Wimberger, has innovated modern meditation utilizing the latest research in neuro-science as an answer to bring deep healing to victims of trauma. Based on 30 years of experience in various forms of meditation, she developed NeurosculptingⓇ as a way to heal herself from seizures where conventional medicine had failed.

Lisa began teaching NeurosculptingⓇ in 2007 to law enforcement, military veterans, and other first responders as a practical way to manage emotional healing from trauma and PTSD. The Neurosculpting InstituteⓇ has partnered with psychologists, nutritionists, and yoga instructors to create a whole-brain approach to health and wellness that is non-dogmatic.

Neurosculpting has successfully helped people in trauma-centric vocations, traumatic brain injury patients, athletes, refugees, and people of all walks of life to manage and heal from daily stress and negative emotions.

Is there a way that all of us, people from every culture, nationality and faith, can return to understanding, compassion, real stewardship of this world we share and brotherly and sisterly love. Is there A Way to God?

My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Matthew Fox, says there is a way… through Creation Spirituality. Matthew is an internationally acclaimed theologian and spiritual maverick who has spent the last forty years revolutionizing Christian theology, taking on patriarchal religion, and advocating for a creation-centered spirituality of compassion, justice and resacralizing the earth. Originally a Catholic priest, he was silenced for a year and then expelled from the Dominican Order by then Cardinal Ratzinger who later became Pope Benedict the Sixteenth. He was expelled for teaching liberation theology and Creation Spirituality. He found what he calls “religious asylum” with the Episcopal Church. He is the author of more than 30 books which have sold more than 1-1/2 million copies in sixty languages!

He joins me Wednesday at 8PM EDT to discuss his latest book, A Way To God: Thomas Merton’s Creation Spirituality Journey.

In Shakespeare’s immortal play, Julius Caesar, Cassius tries to convince Brutus that it is in the best interest of the Roman people to stop Caesar from becoming monarch. The famous line reads, The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves. Examining the world as it is today, we might pause and ask if the fault actually is in our stars.

Joining me this week to examine this is my dear friend, Master Astrologer Shelley Ackerman. Shelley has written for Beliefnet.com, The NY Post, the NY Daily News, Dell Horoscope, and was immortalized on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. Her many radio and TV appearances include: Access Hollywood, NBC’s Weekend Today Show, Sirius Satellite Radio, The Gayle King Show, The O’Reilly Factor, and ABC’s World News Now. She was recently extensively quoted in Liz Smith’s column on the eccentric election cycle we are in and will discuss that in detail. She is also playing a major role in the ISAR 2016 –International Society for Astrological Research conference coming up this October in Costa Mesa, California”
