The Secret Spiritual World of Children with Dr. Tobin Hart Nov 07, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Tobin Hart is a father, partner, author, and spiritual ally. Professionally, he is a Professor in a most unusual Psychology department at the University of West Georgia.

This department is a radical place where knowledge, wisdom and even love are on the menu as we explore the depth of consciousness and society.

He is also co-founder and chair of the ChildSpirit Institute, a non-profit educational and research hub dedicated to understanding and nurturing the spirituality of children and adults.

Dr. Hart draws insight through multiple views ranging from the ancient wisdom traditions to the intimate little stories all around (and within) us to the front edge of science. He finds himself trying to feel and follow those resonances that lead to a sense of communion.

Dr. Hart discusses:

His long interest in children and spirituality that started with his own daughter

Research with children and spirituality

5 general phonemona relating to children and how they express their spirituality.

Why is spirituality in children so important

Hello from the Other Side with Dr. Jeff O'Driscoll Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

Jeff O'Driscoll, MD, practiced emergency medicine in a level-one trauma center for twenty-five years. He received his training at the University of Utah School of Medicine and completed his residency in Salt Lake City, Utah.

As an emergency physician, Jeff received messages that helped him care for patients. Occasionally they led him to a diagnosis he hadn’t considered.

Some people, however, were simply too ill or too injured to survive. And, when a patient died, sometimes he saw their spirit—their eternal essence—leave their body. They always thanked him for my efforts. They were always grateful. Knowing how they felt about their transition helped me when friends and family members left this realm.

We discuss: his unconventional journey to spirituality ER stories where he has encountered loved ones from the other side His thoughts on “what’s behind the veil”
