Today’s episode is with Sean Webb who wrote a book about hacking happiness. 

Figuring out how to explain how the human mind works has had some interesting side effects. It turns out that the same model Sean uses to explain the human mind to MHH students also has some amazing applications in the world of Artificial Emotional Intelligence. Using his understanding of mind and deep mind, Sean has developed the first ever Algorithms of Human Emotion that are not reliant on biosensors. 

These will soon to be used to not only create simulated Turing test passing emotional responses in artificial personalities (think; C-3PO), but they will also be used to help create functional empathy and compassion in computer logic and their applications. This will not only make computers more user friendly and emotionally intelligent, it may also just save us from a rogue artificial general intelligence from accidentally or intentionally bringing an end to the human race. Either way, if Sean knows the human mind well enough to help computers understand how our minds work, he can certainly help you learn how to hack yours to your greatest personal benefit.

Today’s episode is with Dr. Laurie Scolari who has held several positions in the field of education. 

She has always struggled to adjust to a field steeped in a dominant culture that has never felt right. She tried to code-switch into what she thought was expected of her. When she first entered the field, she never wore her hoop earrings to work, thinking they were unprofessional, yet they represented her and where she grew up. Today the world has adjusted a bit, and hoops are commonplace. 

Meanwhile, she still convinces herself it’s ok to be just her true self at work, now with her hoops on.  This internal struggle inspired the name of her YouTube channel: Hoop Earrings Conversations.

Though she still works as a full-time professional in education, her channel is dedicated to the real her, the real us. It creates a space for the homies to chat about how to survive and maybe even thrive in dominant culture spaces that were not designed with us in mind. Her work focuses on living authentically, personal development, and self-empowerment.

We talk about the following and so much more: 

✅ What it means to create your life and your own reality 

✅ How our thoughts create our reality and how we change our thoughts

✅ How she re-programmed her thoughts in order to create a new life 

✅ What would you tell someone who is having difficulty in their life, and is not getting what they want? 

✅ How she deals with difficult work environments and what she would tell someone who is not happy at their current job

On today’s episode, I speak with Caroline Cory - futurist, a visionary author and the founder of the OMnium Method™. Even though Caroline completed graduate studies in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy, most of her knowledge and deeper awareness came about through direct experience, which she talks about in her books and courses.

Caroline's encounter with the worlds of Consciousness, Energy Medicine and Spirituality started at the early age of 5 when she spontaneously began to perceive various forms of subtle energy. 

She could experience and understand more deeply the cosmic roadmap and the structure of consciousness, the multi-dimensional configuration of the human body and mind as well as the construct of earthly reality.

In healing, this method raises the cells’ vibration through resonance, which in turn allows the cellular DNA reprogramming and the healing to occur organically.

Today’s episode is about How to create healthy relationship dynamics and communicate clearly with Silvy Khoucasian, a Relationship Coach and a Writer. Her heart mission is to support people in being deeply and soulfully self-connected and to use their self-awareness to create relationships that feel nourishing and supportive. 

Silvy guides others to get to know themselves in a collaborative and empowering way and teaches people ways to strengthen their communication skills, their capacity to be vulnerable, and their ability to create healthy and compassionate boundaries. She has been deeply invested in her own personal healing journey over the last decade and highly values being an eternal student. 

I recently took her course on boundaries and found it to be incredibly helpful.

We talk about the following and so much more:
✅  What is a boundary and how can we create healthy boundaries? 

✅  You talk about how, a ”safe relational container can sometimes push people towards patterns of avoidance because they may not know how to manage/cope with the depth of mirroring and vulnerability that intimate relationships often come with.”

✅  Some of the major misconceptions people have about boundaries? And what about in a couple? 

✅  What is the difference between a “request” and a “requirement” and why do so many people confuse these terms so much? What’s an example of a request and a requirement?   

✅  Some of the cultural differences Sylvie has noticed when it comes to relationships? 

✅  How have things changed in relationship since the start of the pandemic, and how do you imagine things will continue to change?

On today’s episode, I speak with Richard Moss – an internationally respected leader in the field of inner transformation, subtle body-mind dynamics, and living a path of conscious relationships.

In 1977 Richard was a practicing medical doctor when he experienced a spontaneous spiritual illumination that awakened him to the multi-dimensional nature of human consciousness. 

This realization profoundly transformed his understanding of the roots of emotional suffering, and inspired him to explore the almost limitless human potential for growth and healing.

He has published 7 seminal books including Inside-Out Healing: Tranforming Your Life Through the Power of Presence, and more - on his visionary approach to human evolution which have been translated into 6 languages. 

We talk about the following and so much more. 

✅ What presence means

✅ What the “mandala of being” is and how people can use this method 

✅ How to deal with difficult moments in life, let’s say a divorce, or the loss of a child or job 

✅ Why it’s so difficult for people to stay present, and how he encourages people to move towards presence

It seems like disconnection is the disease of our time, and especially disconnection from self. Many people are feeling stuck and living a life on auto-pilot or simply responding to their life as opposed to creating it. 

But what if there was more to our existence than what meets the five senses or what we were programmed to believe? 

In one on one conversations with leading experts in wellness, well-being, consciousness and spirituality, Gateways to Awakening is a platform where leaders share best practices and offer a gateway to help those who are interested expand their awareness and consciousness. 

I’m your host Yasmeen Turayhi, and I’ve spent the last decade exploring the different modalities from the western traditions to the eastern traditions. I believe we need a bridge, and a place for people to access leading voices in the space of cutting edge ideas on wellness, neuroscience, intuition, quantum physics and , near-death experiences, consciousness. 

In this podcast, I interview a spectrum of guests from leading psychotherapists, Academics in Quantum Physics, Neuroscience, Neuroanatomy, and experts in Emotional Awareness, Binaural beats, Intuition, and more. 

I’m the founder of Inner-Knowing School (InnerKnowingSchool.com), a school that trains executives and creatives how to train their intuition for higher awareness, and how to manage their energy instead of their time. 

We ask these questions and more: 

1. How can I understand myself and bring greater awareness into my life? 
2. How can I connect with my own voice and intuition and be on the highest life path possible? 
3. Is there a greater intelligence, a primordial, intuitive intelligence?
