Dr. Alexander and Karen Newell, Mindful Universe

In the first half, Patricia interviews Dr. Eben Alexander and Karen Newell, co-authors of Living In A Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey Into The heart Of Consciousness. In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander's brain was attacked by a devastating illness and he fell into a weeklong coma. While appearing to be at death's door, he realized that the brain is not responsible for consciousness, and he uses this realization to explore profound love and connection. In the second half Patricia interviews Kyczy Hawk, certified yoga instructor. She discusses her book, A Guide For Working The 12 Steps: Yogic Tools for Recovery. By aligning yoga philosophy and poses with each of the Twelve Steps, Kyczy Hawk presents a physical and spiritual guide that complements and augments any twelve-step practice. Readers will investigate how they think, feel, and believe by using a new vocabulary to process traditional recovery principles.
