Bari Tessler is a Financial Therapist, Mentor Coach, Mama-preneur and Chocolate Lover.

All of this allows Bari to help people build their own bridges between Money, Body, Mind and Spirit. – and plenty of chocolate seems to get eaten along the way!  We engage with her in a fascinating conversation about the 'mind programmes' we run in our heads about money and how with some gentle acceptance and guidance we can transmute any negative energy stories that we run about money into some really useful energy that can transform our relationship with money. 

Bari shares her own journey of developing a positive relationship with money and it has taught her that we need to learn to be OK with the ebb and flow of money in our lives.  For example Bari tells the story of how she decided to reduce her working hours when her baby arrived - and hence had to revamp her spending habits. 

It’s an exciting time for Bari as she is about to launch her ‘Art of Money’ programme – a year long school experience created to heal your relationship with money at the deepest level. 

Have you faithfully adorned your bedroom, bathroom and office with little 'post-it' notes with affirmations saying 'I am rich', 'I am successful', 'Wealth flows to me'....and found that nothing really changes in your life and that essentially you don't believe a word of these affirmation?

Well you are not alone!  Noah St. John, Author and mega-successful Businessman had exactly this experience.  Twenty years of affirmations and a fortune's worth of post-its had him $800 in debt!  Fortunately he had a 'shower moment' and a flash of inspiration hit him like a tsunami and he realised that he had things back to front - and the 'Afformation' was born.  

Instead of making statements that were patently untrue, Noah began to ask himself questions and his brain went to work looking for answers.  For example, ask yourself : "Why is the sky blue?"  What happens next?  Yes, your brain goes off searching for an answer and once an answer comes up it can trigger a whole new raft of thinking and the domino effect kicks in.  

From that day Noah's life began to shift towards what he really desired.  Instead of affirming, he began afforming.  In fact he wrote a book on the subject that became a best-seller, 'Afformations'.

In this chat Noah gives us step by step instructions on how to begin using your brain in an extremely powerful and effortless way to shift you out of the 'I can't' thinking mode into the 'I can' stream of thinking.  

We had a delightful and fun time with Noah exploring all kinds of possibilities of what we could change in our thinking use his Afformations.  Here's a taster:

Why am I successful in business?

Why am I so gorgeous?

Charles Eisenstein, International Speaker and the author of the The Ascent of Humanity and latterly, Sacred Economics joins us for a liberating discussion on the present economics system of the world.  His book Sacred Economics  traces the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, revealing how the money system has fostered competition and scarcity, destroyed community and necessitated endless and unsustainable economic growth. 

He is willing to speak the truths that are staring humanity n the face - that in the pursuit of a higher GDP we seriously risk losing our natural resources and even the planet and consequently our very lives.  As King Midas forewarned – we will be dead – but very very rich.  

Charles believes that despite the many negative connotations that money has attracted, now is the time to redress the balance.

Here he shares with us how he believes that if we embrace the ‘gift world’ then we can usher in the practice of Sacred Economics where each of us have a higher chance of having our economic and… possibly our emotional needs too as each of us are called to acknowledge our own gifts.  

Without dwelling on the fear issues, we explore the weaknesses in the finance and education system that keep people playing small and stop them developing their own innate gifts and creativity that could have a very positive impact on society financially and... emotionally. 

When people stop 'buying' into the idea that this world has to be a 'certain way' and that in order to survive we need to 'get a job' and a job that is not necessarily doing what we love, then each of can become more empowered and fulfilled. 

There is distinct optimism in Charles' message as we discuss what each of us can do as individuals to usher in this new age of economics and how the inner work we do will ultimately be reflected in our outer world.  

Look out for his new book due Autumn 2013 : ' The Beautiful World that Our Hearts Know Is Possible'.

The Occupy Wall Street Movement has been a powerful force in representing the 99% who are controlled by the 1%. Strike Debt is an off shoot group who have taken it upon themselves to highlight the gross inadequacies of a system that requires people to go into debt to pay for basic human needs such as housing, education and medical care. 

Disgusted by the stories of personal debt that they heard during their time occupying parks in New York, this group of volunteers decided to circumvent the system and began investigating how they could take positive action and make a positive difference to people's lives. 

Rolling Jubilee is a very successful initiative managed by the Strike Debt group to help people become free of the burden of debt. Recognising that debt is what bonds 99% of Americans and that by joining forces, with everyone donating a little, large amounts of debt can be bought and literally written off.  

Aaron Smith is representing the Strike Debt group in the following interview.  A young man passionate about this cause and intent in creating waves in a system that is crippling the American people.  It is an enthrallling conversation and an issue that we must not wait for others to take action on, but look for ways in which we can play our own part in creating a new world that is fair to each and every one of us.
