Living Room Conversations: Can A New “Parlor” Game Heal the Divide?

A Conversation With Living Room Conversations Co-Founder Joan Blades

“When we connect personally, we don’t take things poisonally.” — Swami Beyondananda

Did you know (From the Living Room Conversations website) … “Living rooms used to be the place where people would gather to socialize and relate with each other. Inviting someone into your home was to treat them as valued and worthy of respect. But before they were called living rooms these rooms were referred to as “parlors” – a term that comes from the French and means place for speaking.”

At a time when there’s been precious little civil discourse — let alone civic discourse — can transpartisan “living room conversations” heal the divide?

Joan Blades, co-founder of the very partisan MoveOn.org thinks so.

In 2010, she and conservative colleagues founded Living Room Conversations to “re-humanize” the other side (whichever side the other side is to you) by sharing stories and personal connections, and then discussing otherwise divisive issues together. Joan herself had a profound awakening in 2007 when she connected with Christian Coalition’s communication director Michele Combs at a retreat. The two became friends, and together the two organizations — MoveOn.org and the Christian Coalition — became unlikely partners in a successful campaign to preserve net neutrality.

On this week’s Wiki Politiki, Joan talks about the promise and the challenges of Living Room Conversations, and shares her own journey that took her from law school to a successful Silicon Valley start-up, to founding MoveOn, a pioneer organization in using the internet and social media for political campaigns.

If you’re curious — or skeptical — about civil discourse being able to breach what seem to be not only different viewpoints, but different realities, you’ll want to hear what Joan has to say. These conversations may not change people’s minds but it might change hearts — and that’s where real change must take place as we evolve into political (and spiritual) maturity.

You Are Awesome! – ENERGY FORECAST for the Week of March 26th – April 1st, 2018

This week your energy is best spent being the best version of YOU possible. You don’t have any control over what other people think or say about you, but you do have control over your perception of the situation and whether or not you are going to rise up and thrive or crumble and fall. You are powerless when you worry about pleasing other people, but when you focus on being an amazing person and creating an amazing life then you become powerful. As you gain a foothold on who you truly are and how you wish to present yourself to the world other people begin to recognize and respect you in new ways.

The Planets This Week: March 26, 2018

What do the planets have in store for us this week? This week we have love planet Venus moving into Taurus, one of its favorite signs. Taurus is the most sensual sign of the zodiac. Venus rules beauty and pleasure, and Taurus is all about those things. When Venus enters Taurus, our desires are turned toward finding beauty, pleasure, and comfort. Even if you’re prone to delaying gratification, you’ll feel more of an urge to indulge yourself.

This may simply be a lazy, relaxing time for many people. Artists, artisans, and those who deal with art or beauty for a living may find that sales go up, or that it’s easier to find or create beautiful things. Venus doesn’t try hard. It makes stuff look effortless. It doesn’t break a sweat or a nail, and it never gets its hands dirty.

Also this week, there’s a Full Moon in Libra. During the Libra Full Moon, you will likely notice the quality of your relationships improving thanks to your thoughtful attempts at fairness and compromise. As human beings, we have a strange, but unconscious way of mimicking the behavior of others. When met by a charming smile from a stranger, our faces respond with an equally bright grin. Yawns have the same effect. Try coughing in a large public room full of people – at least a few folks will cough in response. With those you are closest to, they too will mimic the consideration and respect that you’ve shown them. You’re beginning to see the flavor of your relationships take on a sweeter side. Who can resist a person who treats them with utmost respect, trust, and kindness? Power imbalances may begin to level out, as long as you continue to not only be thoughtful, but also clear about your own expectations.

Tune in on Monday 6pm PT/9pm ET to find out more…

Spontaneous Healing

On this week’s show, take a deep dive into the realm of “Spontaneous Healing” as the practice of being open to the unknown.

During this period, he developed a device called the dorsal column stimulator, which uses small electrical currents to adjust the electromagnetic fields within the spinal column. The stimulator was so successful in treating previously untreatable chronic back pain that it has become a favored treatment for pain by physicians world-wide.

Arielle Ford – Your Holiness: Discover the Light Within

Every generation has its thought leaders who leave an indelible mark on the world. Born of their personal pain, experience and life lessons, these leaders rise to bring wisdom and light so that others may benefit, heal and grow. Our generation was blessed with the enduring wisdom and presence of Debbie Ford.

Debbie was a New York Times best-selling author of ten books. Her first masterpiece, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by showing them how to embrace their shadow selves and find wholeness. Followed by groundbreaking books including Spiritual Divorce, Secret of the Shadow, The Right Questions, Why Good People Do Bad Things and the Best Year of Your Life, Debbie’s literary legacy was thought to be completed with her transition in February 2013.

But death was not the end of sharing wisdom for the determined Debbie and her magic continued when her beloved sister, Arielle Ford, was mystically guided to bring to fruition a book that Debbie wrote sometime in the last years of her earthly adventure.

My guest this week on Destination Unlimited is my dear friend Arielle Ford. She joins us to share the story of her sister’s amazing life and afterlife. Arielle is the best-selling the author of The Soulmate Secret, Wabi Sabi Love and Turn Your Mate into your Soulmate. She is also renowned for her work helping to launch the best-selling careers of Deepak Chopra, Maryanne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsch and of course, her little sister Debbie Ford. She joins me this week to discuss Debbie’s “heaven sent” book, Your Holiness—Discover the Light Within.

Guide to Life Clarity with Lynne Brisdon

Standing in the Sunlight guest Lynne Brisdon of Living In Vision shares wisdom from her Guide to Life Clarity. Join us as we walk through her step-by-step approach to illuminate the path to your greatest future.

If you’re in a transition phase of your life and not sure what your next steps are, you’ll gain insights on how to move forward. Even if you’re feeling stuck, or that your life has become a complicated muddle, there is a way out.

Most of us are so caught up in just keeping life on track it’s difficult to find the time and space to take a step back and reflect on the bigger picture. We also get caught in feeling safer with the ways things are than facing the uncertainty of unknown consequences. So, we just stay dissatisfied with life and wish it would change.

What would it be like if you knew yourself deeply, and you had more clarity on what you aspire to? While it may seem allusive, you have the answers encoded within you. Your life experience and the way you relate to it not only shows you what is most fulfilling, but also what is blocking you from making the advances that will lead to the life you desire.

About the Guest: Lynne Brisdon

Lynne Brisdon, PCC blends coaching with spirituality to connect people with their essential purpose to find deeper meaning in all aspects their lives; personally, and professionally. An early fascination with metaphysics led her to embrace the reality that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. She shares mediation and healing practices to offer a direct experience of consciousness beyond intellectual understanding. Her coaching conversations offer a practical way to apply self awareness, to make conscious choices and take inspired action. You can learn more about Lynne’s work at: www.livinginvision.com
