in
Tribute to Dr. Wayne Dyer - Interviews with Innocence.jpg

Today on Interviews With Innocence, I wanted to celebrate the holidays with some stories from internationally renowned author and speaker Dr. Wayne Dyer's book, "Memories of Heaven".

Dr. Wayne Dyer was an internationally renowned author and speaker in the fields of self-development and spiritual growth. Over the four decades of his career, he wrote more than 40 books, including 21 New York Times bestsellers. He created many audio and video programs and appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. Dyer held a doctorate in educational counseling from Wayne State University and had served as an associate professor at St. John’s University in New York. Through his early work in college-level teaching and clinical psychology, he discovered a widespread need for the principles of self-discovery and personal growth and sought to bring these ideas to a wider audience.

"Memories Of Heaven" was co-authored by Dee Garnes, who currently resides in Maui with her husband and two children. She has worked in the healing-arts field as a massage therapist for over 13 years, and was assistant to Dr. Wayne Dyer. When she is not chasing her two-year-old son around or caring for her infant daughter, she enjoys long-distance swims in the ocean, paddle-boarding, and hiking. Her longest hike to date spanned 50 days across the 500-mile Colorado Trail, where she found that her heart was not only in the mountains but also in the ocean—and in truly healing and helping others.

Dr. Wayne Dyer was always drawn to speaking with young children, as their memories seemed to stretch far past their young age and into the deep past. What he learned from them surpassed what the imagination of a young child could dream up, dipping into families, experiences, and spiritual realms that nobody could know at so young an age. Listen in to hear the stories Dr. Wayne Dyer had collected over the years of children's memories of heaven, choosing parents and spiritual insights. Let us celebrate the impact he had around the world.

#188 Part 2: Children’s Near Death Experiences with Dr. Melvin Morse

in
Dr. Melvin Morse on Interviews With Innocence

Dr. Melvin Morse, M.D. is a graduate of George Washington University School of Medicine and a recipient of the National Service Research Award. He is a recognized authority in the field of near-death studies and has researched near-death experiences in children for eight years. As a medical student, Dr. Morse always pursued his interests in consciousness research. During a neurology rotation at Johns Hopkins, he worked under the legendary Vernon Montcastle and cared for patients who had half their brains removed or split-brain surgery. He assessed the effects such surgery had on consciousness, his first understanding that consciousness does not depend on brain function. He attended lectures by the early pioneers of functional neurogenesis. This is the revolutionary concept that all thoughts and experiences change our brain and our brain is capable of repairing itself.

After an internship at the University of California at San Francisco and a residency in Pediatrics at Seattle Children’s Hospital, he was in private practice of Pediatrics for over twenty years caring for three generations of patients. He retired in 2006 to concentrate on his consciousness research. He was a Professor of Pediatrics at both the University of Washington and the John Bastyr Naturopathic College.

Dr. Melvin Morse ​has come to understand that by learning the neuroscience of the brain, we can rediscover ancient wisdom long forgotten by the dogmas of religion. After learning about his work, I read his book "Closer To Light", which opened my eyes to the spirituality of children and the reality of near-death experiences, God and eternal life. Listen to learn how Dr. Melvin Morse was transformed from a spiritual skeptic into a real evangelist of the misunderstood world of near-death experiences.

#5 Children and Their Angels, and Other Mystical Experiences with Dr. Tobin Hart

in
Dr. Tobin Hart on Interviews With Innocence

Today on Interviews With Innocence we have a very special guest on the show, Dr. Tobin Hart. I was able to go to Georgia to interview him and spend time in his beautiful home there, and I'm so excited to share this special conversation.

Dr. Tobin Hart serves as Professor at the University of West Georgia’s Humanistic, Transpersonal and Critical psychology program. He is co-founder of the ChildSpirit Institute, a nonprofit educational and research hub exploring and nurturing the spirituality of children and adults. His work explores human consciousness especially at the nexus of spirituality, psychology, and education. The center point for this inquiry is about how we know, especially that knowing what happens when the world opens more deeply to us, and we to it. He teaches, researches and writes on topics such as Deep Empathy, PsychoSpiritual Development, Inspiration, Transformative Education, Contemplative Knowing, Music, and the Mind, Psychotherapy Spirituality Integration, Mind-Body Unity. He has served as a leader in several emerging fields including Children’s Spirituality, Contemplative Teaching and Learning, and PsychoSpiritual Development.

Today, we'll be focusing on the work Dr. Tobin Hart has featured in his book, The Secret Spiritual World of Children. In this episode, Dr. Tobin Hart goes over his early experiences with children and spirituality, what we can learn from children and the power of the contemplative mind.

#3 Love Brought Me Back, Stories and Research of Young Children Talking About Their Past Lives with Dr. Carol Bowman

in
Dr. Carol Bowman - Interviews with Innocence pt.2.jpg

Carol Bowman is back for part 2 on Interviews with Innocence. If you missed last week’s episode, I recommend you go back and listen to our interesting conversation about children recalling past lives and the research that confirms these stories.

Carol Bowman is an internationally known author, lecturer, past-life therapist, reincarnation researcher and a pioneer in the area of past-life research of children.

She is a graduate of Simmons College in Boston and holds an M.S. in Counseling from Villanova University. Carol began her journey in past-life studies when her own children began talking in detail about past lives at a very young age. As Carol states “To me, reincarnation is not an abstract religious concept or a philosophy. It's a natural phenomenon. Understanding the connection between past lives and present reality leads to profound personal benefits, both spiritual and practical".

Listen in to today’s episode and learn about Carol’s research, other amazing stories of children recalling past lives and Carol’s book, Return From Heaven.
