This week's podcast features:
  • An in-studio conversation with Ji Hyang Padma, author of Living the Season: Zen Practice for Transformative Times. Ji Hyang Padma combines an academic career with her role as a Zen teacher. She has done intensive Zen training and teaching in Asia and North America for 20 years, 15 of these as an ordained nun, and has completed several 90-day intensive retreats in Korea and North America. She also teaches Zen workshops annually at Omega Institute and Esalen Institute. While her practice has been situated within the Korean Zen tradition, she has had the benefit of studying with teachers across a wide spectrum of Buddhist lineages.

    Ji Hyang has served as Director and Abbot of The Cambridge Zen Center, one of the largest Zen Centers in the country. Additionally, she has served as a meditation teacher at Wellesley College, Harvard University and Boston University. She is gifted at finding an entry-point into practice for people who are just beginning their journey.

    Ji Hyang is soon to complete a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology at Sofia University with a research focus on Buddhist practices of healing. She serves on the board of Education as Transformation, an international organization that works with educational institutions to explore the impact of religious diversity and the role of spirituality in the learning process.

The Mystical Positivist - Radio Show #181 - 04APR15

The Mystical Positivist is now a weekly radio show on KOWS-LP 107.3 FM, Occidental, CA. Listen live on Saturday evenings from 4:00 - 6:00pm, PST, via the web at KOWS Live Stream
This week's podcast features:
  • A telephone conversation with Mikaelah Cordeo, Ph.D., author of Live in Love: A Life Handbook for the New Golden Age. Her search for a direct experience of God began with her devout Catholic upbringing. She went on to become, in her own words, an over-achiever in a career in science. As a result of a mid-life crisis, she was introduced to basic energy tools, guided visualizations, and the capacity to see, hear, and feel light. Mikaelah had found her life’s work, and gave up her previous career. Today she describes herself as a mystic, a channel for the Ascended Hosts of Light, a Messenger for Mother/Father God, an author, a spiritual traveler, an Ascension teacher, and as a healer(both personal and planetary), mother and grandmother.
