Living Sensationally - How Understanding Our Senses Can Transform Our Relationships And Our Life with Prof. Winnie Dunn

Join us Thursday, July 7th, at 4:00PM-PST/7PM-EST on OMTimes Radio, for What’s Going OM? with host Sandie Sedgbeer and guest Prof. Winnie Dunn. 

Prof. Winnie Dunn

We all want to live a satisfying life, but what that means to you may be quite different than what it means to others in your life.

For example, how do you feel when you bite into a pear…wear a feather boa…stand in a noisy auditorium…or walk past a perfume counter in a department store? Some people love the grainy texture of a pear, while others shudder at the idea of this texture in their mouths. Touching a feather boa might feel luxurious and sensual to you, while others will bristle at the idea of all those feathers brushing on the skin. And strong scents or noisy, busy environments will energize some people, and overwhelm others.

Now imagine the tension and stress it could cause to your relationship if your partner needed to wake up to to bright lights, loud music, and the aroma of strong coffee to psyche them up for the day, while you required a slow, calm awakening with silence, dim lighting, and zero environmental stimulation to function properly.

We rarely think about it, but we all have our own pattern of responding to everyday experiences such as these, and they can make or break our day. In her eye-opening book, Living Sensationally: Understanding Your Senses, Prof. Winnie Dunn explains how understanding our sensory profile and those of our children, colleagues and loved ones can not only help us understand our own and others’ behavior and choices but can also help eliminate misunderstandings, tension and stress that may be affecting our relationships at home and work.

Join Sandie and Dr. Dunn as they discuss:

•   The Four Major sensory types – Seeker, a Bystander, and Avoider or a Sensor

•   How to discover your own pattern and those of your friends, children and colleagues and loved ones

•   How to eliminate misunderstanding, anxiety and tension in your relationships with family members, children and colleagues

•   How you can use this information to benefit your business or home life, or to pick the right kind of clothing, job and home and create a more harmonious and satisfying life

Dr. Dunn is Professor and Chair of the Department of Occupational Therapy Education at the University of Kansas. A member of the Academy of Research for the American Occupational Therapy Foundation, she is an internationally known expert for her studies about sensory processing in everyday life. She has published more than 100 research articles, book chapters and books, and has spoken around the world about her work, and is the author/ coauthor of all of the Sensory Profile measures, which capture people’s responses to sensory events in everyday life; these assessments have been translated into dozens of languages and are used for both professional practice and in research programs.

Her eye-opening book Living Sensationally – Understanding Your Senses, has been featured in several magazines including Time magazine, Cosmopolitan, The London Times newspaper, and on Canadian Public Radio. http://www.kumc.edu/school-of-health-professions/occupational-therapy-education.html

Sacred America, Sacred World: A New Blueprint for the Evolution of Humanity with Stephen Dinan

Join us Thursday, June 30th, at 4:00PM-PST/7PM-EST on OMTimes Radio, for What’s Going OM? with host Sandie Sedgbeer and guest Stephen Dinan. 

Stephen Dinan

As the 2016 election approaches, America is spiraling into a dysfunction that threatens us all, including our allies around the world. The two-party system, sprung from the aims of democracy, has become violently divisive, almost to the point where there are two Americas, each at the other’s throat. America is being pulled apart, and every citizen feels the pain from this profoundly. When did political discourse become a boxing match? How did America, founded on the highest of principles of justice and freedom, get so far off course? And, most importantly, is it too late to repair the damage and get back on track?

In this episode, political strategist, social innovator, entrepreneur, and founder and CEO of The Shift Network, Stephen Dinan, joins Sandie to discuss why the evolution to a truly sacred America is not an idealistic, ungrounded dream; it’s an evolutionary imperative.

STEPHEN DINAN was a senior staffer at the institute of noetic sciences (ions), where he was the driving force behind the Shift in Action program. He also directed and helped create the Esalen Institute’s Center for Theory and Research—a think tank for scholars, researchers, and teachers to explore human potential frontiers.

He is a member of the prestigious Transformational Leadership Council and Evolutionary Leaders Groups, and the author of two books—Radical Spirit: Spiritual Writings From the Voices of Tomorrow and Sacred America, Sacred World: Fulfilling Our Mission in Service to All.

Parents naturally want what is the best for their children—so why do so many “tried and true” parenting approaches seem to backfire and tensions between parents and their children seem only to be increasing? In The Awakened Family: A Revolution in Parenting, Dr. Shefali Tsabary, author of the New York Times bestseller The Conscious Parent, presents a transformative new approach to parenting, one that focuses not on how we can change our kids—but on how we can change ourselves so that we can become our children’s biggest supporters and resources.

This week, Dr. Shefali joins Sandie to discuss how we can combat the conditioning of a culture that sets parents up to fail and move to a new parenting paradigm which allows our children to be their best and truest selves.

SHEFALI TSABARY, Ph.D., received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Columbia University. Specializing in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, Dr. Shefali brings together the best of both worlds for her clients.

In her latest book, It’s Never Too Late To Begin Again, Julia Cameron shows readers how cultivating their creative selves can help them navigate this new terrain. She tells the inspiring stories of retirees who discovered new artistic pursuits and passions that more than filled their days—they nurtured their souls.

In this episode of What Is Going Om, Julia Cameron joins host Sandie Sedgbeer to discuss how cultivating your creative self can help you navigate this new terrain. Sharing details of her fun, gentle, step-by-step process, aimed at defining—and creating—the life you want to have as you redefine—and re-create—yourself, Julia offers some simple tools that will help you explore your creative dreams, wishes, and desires, and guides and inspire you to make the most of this time in your life.
