Ken W. Stone, The Soul Archeologist, is a spiritual teacher, messenger, and healer. He is the founder of The Resonance Experiment, and author of the forthcoming book Resonance: The Path of Spiritual Mastery. God expresses through Ken in a unique way: when people sit with him in transmission, they have a profoundly different experience of the Divine in their body. For example, he has worked with a number of advanced former students of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who each said, unprompted, following their initial session with him, “that was the deepest spiritual experience of my life.” Moreover, he received testimonials about his work from extraordinary people like Dr. Bruce Lipton, Father Thomas Keating, Derek Rydall, and Reverend Dr. Lorraine Cohen to name a few. Ken shares his gifts with a spiritually diverse, growing international audience through a variety of virtual and in-person programs, retreats, and one-on-one work.Questions asked and what we talked about:- Rumi, the 13th-century Persian Mystic once said that "you are not a drop in the ocean, you are the ocean in a drop." Why is it that we feel separated from it all even though we have the entire universe within us? -  Why it is rare for mystics to find a road map and structure which takes the reader by the hand and guides them to a direct encounter with God?- Session with Ken and afterthoughts.- Can you tell us more about your forthcoming book? Why are you writing it and for whom is it?Website and forthcoming book:https://kenwstone.com, Resonance: The Path of Spiritual Mastery https://kenwstone.com/books/Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/ken.stone.spiritual.teacherhttps://twitter.com/energy_workerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kenwstone/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXH001ZKJ9TO5JNK7ER6_QThis episode was brought to you by OMByTheBeach.com with your host Josef Schinwald.

She works with leaders, employees, and teams to develop and support an inclusive best-in-class mental health and wellness culture in the workplace. Kristin designs programs in Cognitive Behavioral Techniques that strengthen mindset, promoting confident mindful skills for peak results and wellness. Quote: “Facing adversity with resilience and authenticity to help create solutions to transform behavior and mindset is the key to life-changing growth.” ~ Kristin Durney Bullet Points: – What is the connection, the relationship between spirituality and mental health? There is a connection between spirituality and purpose. Purpose comes in when you believe in something bigger than ourself.  People often ask me how did you find your purpose? I answer it found me.  When we are spiritual it really lets us get rid of that ego.  It opens us to mindfulness, being in the present, empathetic thinking, compassion, forgiveness, in my situation I had to go through forgiveness what I have gone through... in spirituality there is meaning in what we are going through, everything happens for a reason... Everybody has their own type of spirituality, their own type of praying, or meditation, their own type of conversation with their higher being. When I look at spirituality from a mental health perspective, I look at it as a holistic way of seeing the mind, body, soul, and spirit connection.  I call it the puzzle, each one of them affects the other if some part is missing if people have mental health issues and they do not have that holistic view of self when they do not live as an authentic self but rather a limitation self, ... so it's when we let go of the ego and let in the mind, body, soul, and spirit connection, then we put the puzzle together.The interview went in many interesting directions related to mental health and spirituality, and definitely brought out the best of Kristin's deep understanding of the topic. How to get in contact  or learn more about Kristin: Her fabulous website for more information is http://www.mentalwellnessunleashed.com/ where she offers two courses: the Manage Your Mind Series and the Tell YOUR Story Series, there is also an opportunity for personal and corporate coaching programs.

Excerpts from my book with the same title. Copyright © 2017 Josef Schinwald, MDivIntroduction 9:41 MinutesHave you Ever Wanted to Learn Meditation?  My name is JOSEF SCHINWALD and I can relate. In my early twenties, I traveled the world. I was usually accompanied by books like the Tao Te Ching, the Upanishads, or some new novel, i.e. Herman Hesse’s Prince Siddhartha. I lived in India, Thailand, Korea, and Japan for many years because I was attracted to these cultures, their philosophies, religious practices, and customs.  Later on, in my early thirties, I got a master's degree in Oriental Philosophy, close to a little town called Rhinebeck, upstate New York, where I lived 5 years near the beautiful Hudson River with my family of 5.  Zen Buddhism was my new target of interest and, in particular, the Zen stories and Koans, while writing my thesis.

Life is a game, it is all about action, everything else is an attribute to the success of the game, I am here to win... I am a playful spirit, life is fun, it is the yin and the yang of the game...

Jonathan Troen, Chief Life Officer.Jonathan's mission: To help people find the joy inside of themselves.Jonathan is a Life Mastery Coach, and co-founder of Austin Yoga Tree and the Life Mastery Collective. His latest creation is the Self Love Revolution. Jonathan spent 20+ years in the entertainment industry. He was living the life of his dreams, meeting the biggest stars in the world, except he wasn't happy. He couldn't figure why. He began studying people: how they lived, what motivated them and how they defined success. His studies brought him to one conclusion: Most of us are mean to ourselves, and all we really want is to be loved. He also discovered that when we seek love from outside, it is fleeting. Lasting love comes from inside of us. And since we’re not taught to love ourselves, this creates a problem. Jonathan created the Self Love Revolution specifically to share the methodology he created after 15 years of research and practice. Jonathan's belief: We all deserve success. We all deserve to be loved. And we all deserve to be treated kindly, especially by ourselves.Bullet Points: How is Mindfulness a part of the Self-Love practice? In a way it is really all of it, there are acceptance meditations, and gratitude mindfulness meditations, and forgiveness meditations... At the end of the day we review the day and we can know what we did and that is an opportunity. How can we let go of or replace those voices that keep telling us you're not good enough and won't amount to anything?  There are the thirteen saboteurs, the perfectionist, the procrastinator, the defender, the victim, blame is one of the saboteurs, the people pleaser, a lot of them work together... Have compassion of that inner judge that is afraid... We also have the inner team, the inner army, the future self, the child self, the intuitve one, the courageous one, the fun one...
