As a result, this is the third or fourth interview MItchell has done with Sam over the course of the past decade plus. His book Reclaiming Our Democracy's latest version was just released in January, 2024.

Most people instinctively know that the mind and body are really one 'system' but act as though the mind is "here" and the body "there."  But that's not the case.  They are truly a sign, constantly interacting system.  Thoughts are influencing the way the body functions, and the body is influencing the way thoughts and feelings function. Getting a grasp of this concept, 'body as metaphor', is incredibly empowering and can actually save lives and prevent illnesses, accidents, injuries, and more. In this interview, Mitchell and Inna speak of this special relationship and illuminate it for the audience.

Frankel started playing tennis at seven years old, supported himself as a teaching pro in Europe and the United States during his twenties, and continues to play at a high level, with great love and respect for the game.

This is the first of a few interviews Mitchell did with Bhagavan Das in the NYC studio.  Bhagavan Das' story is remarkable and shared with you here. In 1963 at the age of 18, Bhagavan Das left California and journeyed solo through Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East, eventually arriving in India. He was the first American to live in the jungle of the Himalayas as a hermit-sadhu. He was given the holy name of Ram by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He then came to meet Swami Chaitanya Prakashananda Tirth who gave him tapas to pray for God's Grace. In 1965, after a year of fasting, prayer and intense purification,  Bhagavan Das met his Sat Guru, the Mahasiddha Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji) who he lived with side by side for many years. Maharaji sent him to Anandamayi Ma to receive initiation from the Divine Mother. Later, during his time with the Tibetan yogis, he was the first westerner to meet and live with Lama Kalu Rinpoche, the guru of the 16th Karmapa. He gave Bhagavan Das the Mahamudra transmission. Bhagavan Das received the Clear Light of Primordial Awareness from His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche and then the Vajra Yogini  transmission directly from the 16th Karmapa in Sikkim. He lived with Yogi Chen who explained all the details to him in English in his hermitage in Kalimpong.  When on pilgrimage to the holy Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, Bhagavan Das met Richard Alpert who became Ram Dass after Bhagavan Das brought him to Maharaji. Then, Bhagavan Das was sent to Amma in the 1980s, who saved him again from the ravages of the world. The Grace of his Sat Guru Maharaji led Bhagavan Das HOME to the Divine Mother in the form of Amulya Maa, his precious Beloved Wife, who is always guiding him on the true path of Bodhichitta with her crystal clarity, ancient wisdom and pure Love.   If you'd like to see more on an array of subjects like this, join our Newsletter at www.abetterworld.net.

These salts come in a small bag and when placed at strategic points around one's home, they have a purifying and cleansing effect on the environment.  The net result is a space that feels good but also one in which people experience different levels of healing.
