Study Somatics in Depth Paciﬁca Graduate Institute’s M.A./Ph.D. Program in

Depth Psychology WITH EMPHASIS IN SOMATIC STUDIES Neuroscience has now convincingly demonstrated the functional unity between mind and body. This validates one of the foundational principles of depth psychology—an understanding that there are forces of the psyche that stimulate the body’s capacity to heal itself. This new paradigm has led Paciﬁca to oﬀer this exciting new degree program specialization.

2011 WORLD PEACE TOUR IN THE US

BLESSING OF HIMALAYAN SIDDHA MASTERS “WORLD PEACE CAN ONLY BEGIN WITH INNER PEACE RESIDING IN EACH OF US” Mahayogi Pilot Baba and Yogmata Keiko Aikawa are Himalayan Masters who have attained the highest level of enlightenment known as samadhi through an austere and rigorous training in the Himalayas. There are quite few individuals in the world who have achieved this state and make themselves available outside of the Himalayas to share their teachings. This is a most signi�icant event since you will be able to receive teachings directly from the Himalayan Masters.

Mahayogi Pilot Baba

Upon reaching the highest level of enlightenment

was born into a royal family in the eastern state of Bihar, India where Buddha achieved his enlightenment. After retiring the Indian Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel, he travelled to the Himalayan moutains to become a disciple of Hari Babaji. After achieving samadhi, he began teaching the practice to others throughout India, offering “samadhi” events mostly in India over 100 times. An award winning documentary film about the Kumbh Mela, an Indian spiritual festival “Shortcut to Nirvana,” showed him, along with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, blessing the visitors. “Come and join in. You do not have to prac�ce. You just have to be present - BE WITH YOURSELF.”

Yogmata Keiko Aikawa has guided others at

“samadhi” events in India’s sacred locations, as well as at the Kumbh Mela on 18 occasions from 1991 through 2007. Her appearance during Maha Kumbh Mela, a sacred event that occurs only once in every 144 years, was reported by CNN, BBC, the Japan Times and the Times of India. In 2007, she received the title “Mahamandaleshwar” (The Supreme Master of the Universe) from the largest spiritual Austerities Association Juna Akara in India. “May you realize what a wonderful being you are, and may your life be ﬁlled with inner love, gra�tude and peace.”

t is that time of year when summer has run its course, vacations are over and it is back-to-school for the young. Here at WP we feel it is a good time to focus on children and teens — what is important to them and how we as parents and caregivers can help with their navigation of challenging times. This generation inherits economic and environmental problems that will require creative solutions. We, as their parents, leaders and role models, can contribute to these issue’s resolutions by teaching the up-and-coming generation and giving them the tools they need to face these problems. In our September issue, Tami Walsh, the creator of Teen Wisdom™, offers insight culled from years of working with young women. Dr. Liliana Cerepnalkoski and Melissa Kay both share personal experiences drawn from counseling the young. Across the board, it is agreed that the exchange between our generations goes two ways; there is much to be learned from the young. – The Whole Person Team THE

Teen Wisdom: What the Youth of Today Can Teach Us by Tree Bernstein “And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” — Anais Nin

hen The Whole Person emailed Tami Walsh, president of Teen Wisdom, to ask if we could interview her for our September Youth Issue, Walsh wrote back with the double exclamation-pointed enthusiasm of a teenager who’d been asked to lead the cheer squad: “. . .I am very familiar with your publication and like it a lot. I’d be honored to contribute an article for the YOUTH issue. I pioneered the niche of teen life coaching 11 years ago, and to-date my company has reached 500,000 girls worldwide. I train women to become Certified Teen Wisdom life coaches now, and next week is my BIG training live event so I am reallllllly crunched for time. When is your deadline as I’d love to do it if I could. Please let me know. Thanks!! Tami”

Tami Walsh, lifecoach, is the originator of Teen Wisdom™. Her forthcoming book, Teen Wisdom: Secrets for Adults on How to Live to be 100, will be released in 2012. The Teen Wisdom mission and vision is to empower 2,000,000 teen girls worldwide through life coaching by training 1,000 women worldwide to become certified Teen Wisdom Life Coaches. For more information, go to the website: www.teenwisdom.com.

Tami Walsh is passionate about her work as a teen life coach and wants to correct a few misconceptions adults may have about their teenagers. The big one is that the Millennial Generation is completely self-absorbed. Not so, observes Walsh, “I see an abundance of hope, vision and desire.” Walsh says that the “self-absorbed teenager” is actually developmentally appropriate. Noticing the “self ” is a step towards individuation. “But they do care. And they want to be involved with cutting-edge trends and changes, particularly if there’s a social cause.” WP: With 24/7 social media, cell phones and Internet, we have become a society of instant communicators. What are teenagers actually talking about? TW: Teens girls are talking a lot on their cell phones, using social media, and texting about their social relationships, their social dilemmas, dynamics and challenges. They also “download” and vent about the stress and pressure they feel academically from parents and society in general. Depending on the age of teen girls (middle schoolers, high schoolers or college age) the topics vary with intensity, variety, and overall tone. WP: What are the particular challenges that teen girls face? TW: Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, Department Chair of Psychology at U.C. Berkeley is author of The Triple Bind. He identifies “The triple bind…[as] the way our society puts our young girls at risk

by asking them to meet a set of impossible, unrealistic, and conflicting standards simultaneously.” I couldn’t agree more! From my 11 years in private practice as a life coach and counselor for teen girls, (I have coached over 20,000 hours with teen girls solely) and from the thousands of teen girls I have spoken to in middle and high schools, today’s young girls feel like they have to succeed at everything they try, and be the best at it, all the while maintaining their feminine essence of kindness, compassion and altruism. It is a definite set of mixed messages that girls are getting today. The result is a culture which fosters teen eating disorders, depression and anxiety, which we see are still on the rise.

WP: In light of so many recent world calamities — the effects of natural disasters and human suffering — how are teens reacting? TW: With the state of the world right now, with war, natural disasters, and economic uncertainty, teen boys and girls are carrying more of a burden on their shoulders. They worry about how their families will be able to afford a college education, if they will they be safe away from home, and if they will find a job once they complete college.

WP: Are they hopeful about the future? TW: It is a tenuous time right now, and it all adds to the landscape of the stress young adults and teens are feeling. On the positive side, young people, particularly girls, are innovators. They ask themselves how they can make a positive difference in our country and our planet through their career paths. They particularly want to impact areas such as global warming, healthcare, and technology. WP: What wisdom can we adults learn from teenagers? TW: Aaah, my favorite question of them all! Here’s what they tell me: 1. Lighten Up 2. Play Often! 3. Take Naps 4. Listen to your favorite music everyday! 5. Have a dream that fires you up! 6. Don’t take it all so seriously—life is supposed to be fun! Tree Bernstein writes and lives in Ojai. She is a performance coach for Poetry Out Loud, a national recitation project, and poetry workshop leader with California Poets in the Schools (CPITS).

Back to School for All of Us by Dr. Liliana Cerepnalkoski

hhh. September in Bucharest; the sun was gentle, there was a different tint to the light, and the leaves were beginning to turn golden. We busied ourselves with back-to-school activities — preparing uniforms, books and school supplies. I recall the excitement of the first day of school, the butterflies in my stomach, the reunion with dear schoolmates and cherished teachers. I loved September, because I loved school; a new year of hard work, and with it, the excitement of studying new things. The educational system, though very strict, was good in those days; so when someone finished high school, she already was “somebody,” a well-rounded person. Those were the good times, “back in the day,” as my son says when he hears my stories. Ahhh. September in Los Angeles; the sun was warm, the light was bright, and the plants were flourishing. My son was in a private college preparatory high school, and I was a busy, diligent, working mother – running around to buy uniforms and school supplies and to arrange all my son’s classes, extracurricular activities and lesson schedules. I made sure he was busy with interesting, educational activities and associating with peers I knew well (and whose parents I knew well), from the time school ended until I picked him up after work. When I expressed guilt over not spending enough time with my son, my colleagues (physicians and scientists) invariably replied, “Don’t worry about the amount of time spent with your child. It’s not the quantity of time, but the quality of time that counts.” It was a fashionable statement, repeated enough times to hypnotize one into believing it. It sounded strange to me, however, and I never believed it for a minute. With the value of hindsight, I still do not perceive that time with children works this way. We cannot declare, “Come here, Mommy will give you five minutes of quality time.” Instead, we must have ample amounts of flexible, non-structured time — enabling spontaneous moments of beautiful, meaningful, and

memorable connection. With an open heart, we must inhabit a state of spacious awareness (it is imperative to learn how to be fully present in the moment) despite fatigue, stress, obligations, and the distractions of multiple responsibilities. September arrives again in L.A., and the golden sun is beautiful. With a touch of nostalgia, I recall the times I prepared my son for a new school year. I also observe parents with high school children and listen to the parents’ stories. It is not easy to be a parent today. We are trained for our professions but uneducated in how to live life itself – how to manage inner states of being, feel happy, function well in relationships, be good spouses, and most importantly, be good parents. For these critical roles, we are woefully unprepared. We learn on the job and make mistakes. We suffer, and our children suffer. Take this story by way of example: Several years ago, a family friend invited me to meet with their son, whom we’ll call “Jim” — a 14-year-old who suspected he was a narcissist. Jim was very unhappy and demanded to be taken to a psychiatrist. Worried and dutiful, Jim’s parents took him to a couple of mental health professionals, each of whom laughed at the self-diagnosis of narcissism and sent Jim home. Jim continued to feel disturbed, however, so I agreed to meet with the family for an informal, friendly visit. Jim was nice looking, bright, mature, articulate, and well-built for his age, yet his voice and eyes conveyed a deep sadness. As I tried to make introductory small talk, Jim stopped me and said, “I’m a terrible narcissist. I need to talk about this.” I asked Jim to tell me if he knew what narcissism was. He did not know exactly but related detailed, touching stories of incidents that began when he was six years old. With obvious suffering and tears of remorse, he shared numerous instances where he behaved poorly toward some of his peers, in effect causing them great suffering. (continued on page 10)

(School continued from page 9) Jim recalled, for example, how his immigrant family had less financial means, and therefore less toys, than other families in his school. So in kindergarten, Jim made friends with a wealthy classmate, simply to be invited to this boy’s house to play video games. Jim did not particularly like this boy but fully took advantage of the relationship, visiting frequently. When Jim’s birthday approached, however, Jim invited a few classmates he liked but excluded this boy who mistakenly had believed that Jim was his true friend. Of course, the children talked openly about the upcoming party, causing the uninvited boy and his mother to feel very hurt. Jim was intensely remorseful as he recalled the story — emphasizing how self-interested he had been and how his behavior had brought this boy and his mother to tears. I was touched; here was a decent, intelligent child, advanced for his age and remarkably self-aware. I told Jim that while his behavior was not right, he was not a narcissist. He simply had been a selfish little boy. The good news was that he was very self-observant — unlike some people who go through life with little or no awareness of their behaviors. In addition, he was truly remorseful. That kind of understanding, sincerity, and good behavior is extremely important in all relationships. Lastly, it was clear that Jim would not intentionally hurt people again. So I congratulated Jim for his early start on the path of transformation, at the young age of 14. Jim felt relieved and continued the conversation by quoting Buddha and Christ. I was surprised. I looked at him clairvoyantly and was so deeply touched that I almost cried. His energy system was radiant with golden light, a clean, perfect chakra configuration, and bright aura. A little Buddha! Jim stayed in touch with me, as he was yearning to learn about the world of intuition, energy and God. He attended some of my lectures and became my young protégé. We did intuitive exercises that proved that he was extremely psychic; he had great ease accessing all kinds of information. We kept in touch for several years, as he went through high school (which he found uninspiring), associated with peers (with whom he had nothing to discuss), had sex with many girls (as an unconscious sport), and did his share of marijuana at parties and engaged in other useless activities. Sadly, as it became subject to contamination, I watched Jim’s energetic system change into various shades of gray. Drugs create a breach of the aura and superior chakras, leaving them vulnerable to opportunistic energies and entities. I warned Jim about the effects of drugs, but he could not stay away from them. Jim eventually dropped out of high school and spent several years at home, doing nothing but chatting with strangers online and smoking pot. Eventually he took his GED and enrolled in college, and, occasionally, he held part-time jobs. But he persistently felt bored, with no joy or purpose in life. Despite his good mind and articulateness, he became lazy, depressed, and disenchanted — consequently, he dropped college classes repeatedly and otherwise wasted time. I advised Jim to get a degree in a good field and be a man. If he was to help change the educational system one day, as he claimed he wanted to do, he needed to know the system through direct experience. He refused to work, however, saying that he had no need for money — since parents and relatives gave him small sums here and there. I told Jim that if he truly had no financial needs, he either must volunteer full-time, for others less fortunate, or work and donate all his salary to charity. I share this story to illustrate that young people do not fully

anticipate the consequences of experimenting with drugs — including marijuana, which they consider harmless. The consequences are in fact huge: infestation with negative energies and entities that rob youth of their spark and compel the youth to act out of character. Sexual promiscuity also leads to energetic contamination, in turn making healthy psycho-sexual integration more difficult. This contamination is why there is no spark in some teenagers’ eyes; other energies are acting through them, compelling them to do, say and feel uncharacteristic things. Jim started praying and spending time in nature, eventually becoming interested in studying spirituality and religion. Still, he did not invest serious time in these subjects. He wanted to be a motivational/transformational speaker, but with no proper educational background, preparation, or solid foundation, who would take him seriously? A few times, Jim was offered a platform to speak in front of family and friends. On these occasions, he only told us, “People, just be!” He was cute, young, and endearing, but refused to acknowledge that he needed to engage in serious study, work, and self-development to reach his goals. The scenario unfolds all too many times; promising, bright youngsters are ensnared by drug experimentation and precocious sex that are dismissed as teenage fun and normal rebelliousness, but that have serious, lifetime repercussions. There also are teens who do not experiment with drugs, but who are energetically sensitive and naturally intuitive. After telling parents that they perceive spirits or see angels, they often are pathologized and medicated by mental health professionals. Although there may be actual pathology in some cases, usually these teens are unnecessarily drugged. They simply have higher sense perception and spiritual experiences than current psychiatry does not recognize as “normal.” For all these reasons, it is time to develop a radical new life-curriculum for the enlightened, evolved human — the human of the future. We need to incorporate the basic life skills of energy consciousness/awareness, energy management, and energy hygiene into our education system. By learning to facilitate and maintain a good energetic configuration, teens can feel naturally high, on energy and on life. There will be no need for them to turn to drugs — an artificial replication of this state of consciousness. We also need to place a higher value on self-awareness; develop a greater perspective on the role of humanity in the universe; raise our overall consciousness; and ultimately transform Homo sapiens into Homo luminosus – human made of light/a radiant being. True transformation only can happen at the level of energy. Fortunately, energy skills can be taught to people of all ages. So it looks like it is back to school for ALL of us, big and small — children, parents, and society as a whole. We need to learn to “do” life differently on planet Earth, discarding old, outmoded strategies and holding ourselves and one another accountable. Time is running out. We must graduate, and help each other graduate, to the next level in our human and planetary evolution — learning, healing, evolving, and transforming for the benefit of all humanity and the unified field of consciousness.

You want to empower your to do as I pleased, learn what I wanted, when I wanted, and focus children to know they can attract friends who will like them for on doing what I loved. For sensitive children school can feel very who they are. restrictive – it certainly felt stifling to me. I did not always feel comfortable or accepted and encouraged. Although I had many Often the friendships children create are the very ones they gifts to share, they often went unnoticed since we had to follow a need to grow and learn from — just as we pick relationships that specific curriculum and schedule that I was not always enthusiastic teach us something. about. The way you interact with your child is very crucial to the Parents of sensitive children can help to ease their children’s relationships they choose. Just as we often pick mates and discomfort with going back to school. During this time, there are friendships that remind us of our mothers and fathers, our many issues children face when going back to school that are children do the same. To help your children create and maintain challenging for them. In my work as a therapist with elementary good relationships, it is important that you take the time to through high school students I often hear the same concerns that nurture yourself. When you take the time to feel good, deserving affected me when I was growing up. Perhaps this is the reason my and worthy, you are teaching your child to do the same. Words path lead me to became a therapist that helps children and teens. alone do not teach. It is through your example of what you are One of the related concerns they have regarding school is being living and your balanced energy that a child responds to and liked by others and making friends. This is especially challenging mimics. When a parent feels good about themself, they also feel for sensitive children that enjoy spending time by themselves, or good about their children. When a child feels good this reflects in people they feel safe with. Often the energy of others feels very their positive friendships, behavior and life circumstances. Only

when you are happy and joyful, can you uplift and inspire others, including your children. So it benefits a child’s relationships immensely when a parent feels good. When your home is happy and uplifting, this also helps children choose friends that feel good. If a parent is often unhappy, angry, chaotic, anxious, or depressed, the child usually takes on those emotions and projects them out, or finds friends who are similar to their parents. The thoughts and feelings we project out are what manifests in our lives. So if you want your child to feel good about their self, and have better relationships, it is worth it for you to feel good and inspire this in your children. Our children are naturally joyful. Encourage this joy and show them how they can attract what they are wanting, including good friendships, through your example of feeling good. Another concern children have about going back to school is academics. Because our schools usually teach everyone the same thing at the same time, there is not much room for different learning levels or the way in which someone learns. Personally, I am a very visual learner; I learn best when watching someone do it first, or by seeing pictures or diagrams. When someone is lecturing me I tend to tune out. What type of learner is your child? The support you can provide to your child when they are going to learn something new is to, again, feel good about yourself first. You can only inspire from a place of connection to who you really are. When you feel good about you, you can see your child succeeding and worthy, then they will also see it in themselves. Acknowledge with them that there are many different ways to learn. Most children are curious about life and want to learn. The challenge is that you receive information best when you are asking for it. When it is given to you, or forced on you, and you are not asking it is much more difficult to retain. Be authentic with your child about this and how challenging this can be. Having one person on your side supporting and believing in you can really help the learning process. Growing up, my sister had a difficult time in school. My parents were going through a divorce and there was a lot of anger, fighting and pain. The teachers and staff had a meeting and told my mother they did not think my sister was going to make it very far in life, and that she would have to find some alternative way to make a living. I admire to this day the way my mother stood up for my sister. She believed in her ability to succeed in something she was passionate about. Although my sister wanted to be done with school many times, my mother never stopped encouraging her and her talents, and gifts. Because of my mother’s unwavering support, my sister graduated from a great university and works in a field that she loves. Even as adults we are excited and eager to learn something we want to learn, or love to do, and turned off by learning something that we are forced to learn or do! When I was growing up I always loved to read. That stopped when I felt forced to read books that I was not interested in. I lost my initial love of reading for some time. After graduating from psychology school, I came across a subject matter that I could not get enough of: spirituality. Because of my passion, I read every book that interested me, looked into authors that I loved, researched the topic, and continue to this very day. What is your child passionate about? Help them to discover it, even in school where it is not always invited. Remind your child that they can do the school work as part of their path to get where

they want, but that it does not have to be the deciding factor on where they are going, their self-worth or purpose. Recently, I watched a movie about teens that wanted to be magicians. They had a passion for magic. Although they went to school and studied what they had to, almost all the teens spent their free time learning magic. One of the individuals was from a remote part of Japan. He found only two books on magic, taught himself, and used nature around him, such as leaves and rocks, as part of his magic tricks since he did not have access to anything else. He found a picture of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, and put it up on his wall, along with the words, “I am a successful magician.” His journey lead him to a competition in Las Vegas where he won first place and got to work at the Magic Castle. Currently, he is studying English in Los Angeles, and is successfully touring around the world with his magic show. It does not matter what your child chooses to do. What matters is how passionate they are. As parents, you can help them tremendously by believing in their dreams and by being encouraging and supportive. Remind them that they are unique and have something that no one else has. Help them find their voice and magic in their life! I once heard that doing what you love and are passionate about gives you energy, while doing something that you don’t like depletes your energy. Are you feeling energized by what you do? Remember you are your children’s biggest role models. Help yourself so you can help your children. We can only give away that which we give to ourselves. The best way you can help your child prepare and have a successful school year is to have a successful home. Children behave the way they feel. If home is a place of unconditional love, joy, nurturing and support, this will carry out into school and into all that your child does. No one ever acts out or behaves in a way that is “bad” when they are feeling good. This is the reason it is crucial that you take care of yourself first. It’s like being on an airplane where they tell you to put your oxygen mask on first. When you have oxygen, love, kindness, confidence, worthiness, compassion, and joy first, then you can inspire others to their good feelings. Children respond to life the way their parents do. If we are positive and excited about something, our children will also be that way. If we are calm and know that all will be okay, so will your children. They are looking to you for what to expect. Children will rise or fall to meet your expectation of them and their life. See the good in yourself and your children. Speak words of praise often, see their worthiness and gifts, and remind them that this will be a good school year. See them thriving and finding friends that enhance their lives. See them making good grades and finding activities they enjoy. See who they truly are, listen and know their worthiness. Then they will see this in themselves and truly thrive this school year and for years to come.

Having one person on your side supporting and believing in you can really help the learning process.

Mark Whitwell Heart of Yoga Retreats at Esalen September 18-23 and September 23-25 Yoga master Krishnamacharya taught that yoga is not a means to an end but about the action itself: the participation in a force of life. Yoga students of all levels will have the opportunity to study his principles in Mark Whitwell’s in-depth workshop, “Advanced Yoga Practice for Everyone” held September 18-23. Whitwell, who spent many years working personally with Krishnamacharya, has taught yoga for over 20 years around the globe and whether you want credits toward your Heart of Yoga Teacher Training certification or are interested in exploring your personal practice, the workshop is the ideal place to establish, as the master said, “peace and power in your daily life.” A second workshop, held the following week September 23-25, provides the opportunity to create a yoga practice completely tailored to your own self. “The Yoga of Regeneration” is about offering healing solutions tailored to unique needs. Designed to fit your own personal health, age and lifestyle, and suitable for everyone and all levels of yoga practitioners, Whitwell will help you on your path to wellbeing and joy. Both workshops will be held at Big Sur’s majestic Esalen retreat — an alternative educational center that devotes itself to exploring human potential. To register for either workshop contact Esalen at www.esalen.org or call 888-837-2536. For more information about Mark visit www.heartofyoga.com.
