Sonya Amrita Bibilos was Adyashanti’s former longtime program director. We talk about her experience with Adyashanti and compare it to corporate experience. Mainly we talk about the nature and experience of healing and even random acts of healing. As with most of these interviews, we wander into all kinds of areas of discussion. We also talk about Sonya’s upcoming free audio book, I AM NOT A MONK: Living, Working, and Making Money While Waking Up.

On Democracy Now! Amy Goodman, one of the top Canadian interviewers on radio and TV, interviews Dr. Gabor Mate. He talks about the role of stress in disease and how Western medicine comes up with scientific studies clearly showing the relationship between stress and disease — a connection known for thousands of years by healers in China, India, and tribal cultures — and at the same time ignores those findings when it comes to treatment.

Dr. Mate says the body has ways of saying “No” which are manifested as disorders and diseases. They are ways of protecting your boundaries. He says to pay attention to what your body is saying “No” to and investigate how to live your life with the proper boundaries in place which will, he says, be more likely to assure immunological boundaries.

He notes that people who repress anger and who are pleasers, people who can’t say no, are compromising their immune systems and are more likely to suffer illnesses. He gives examples and more revelations in the videos:

Someone mentioned that Adi Da required or strongly suggested his devotees drink green smoothies. I’m always looking for ways to eat better and more efficiently, so I researched green smoothies and they made sense to me. They’re blended drinks using leafy green vegetables and fruit. Simple. This video is all you need to know:

I’ve been drinking green smoothies daily for nine weeks. I lost four pounds and nearly an inch off my waist, My weight was fine. I wasn’t trying to lose weight. My exercise workouts have gotten more intense, too. The green smoothies are replacing foods with higher fat content. There may also be some enzymatic and cellular level stuff going on that makes metabolism more efficient.

A note on the kind of blender used to make smoothies: In the video he uses a VitaMix. They’re around $600. I use a $60 blender that I’ve had for a few years. It works fine. To start, use what you have. Later you might want a high performance blender, such as one of these. I’m sure you can get a superb blender for under $200.
