New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Aug 16, 2026 Paul Chek is a holistic health practitioner, wellness coach, corrective exercise specialist and educator. His journey began when he served on the US Army boxing team. He is the author of How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy. He is the creator of the Spirit Gym and host of the Spirit Gym with Paul Chek podcast. Paul explores Jesus’ teaching to “resist not evil,” examining how trauma, consciousness, forgiveness, and spiritual maturity shape our response to conflict rather than retaliation. Drawing on his experience as a therapist, holistic health educator, former Army boxing trainer, and founder of Spirit Gym, Chek argues that true strength comes through healing wounded parts of ourselves instead of becoming what we oppose. Chek touches on psychology, Jung, Rudolf Steiner, nonviolent resistance, forgiveness, mythology, and practical spiritual development as pathways toward greater wisdom. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:13 Paul’s background and spiritual journey 00:07:19 Responding to evil without becoming it 00:13:02 Trauma, boxing and healing childhood wounds 00:20:05 Spirit Gym and holistic spiritual development 00:27:51 Can evil serve human growth? 00:35:21 Humanity as a school for evolving souls 00:43:01 Religion, consciousness and unconditional love 00:52:07 Nonviolent resistance and forgiveness 01:00:45 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

What is Tapping?
Tapping, also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a powerful practice that helps millions worldwide reduce anxiety, process emotions, relieve physical discomfort, and create lasting transformation.
This scientifically-backed technique combines principles of cognitive therapy, exposure techniques, and stimulation of acupressure points. By tapping on specific acupressure points on your face and body while focusing on what’s bothering you, you send calming signals directly to your brain and rewire your stress response in real time.
It’s a tool you can use anywhere, anytime, to shift from stressed and reactive to calm and regulated – All within minutes.
Rewires Your Brain for Lasting Change
Tapping interrupts outdated automatic loops and creates new neural pathways that support calm, clarity, and ease. Brain scans suggest Tapping changes how your brain processes stress and triggers, making you less reactive to what used to overwhelm you.
Backed by 300+ Scientific Studies
Tapping is one of the most proven interventions for emotional well-being available today. Its benefits have been documented in studies across the globe in diverse populations such as veterans, genocide survivors, chronic pain sufferers, and everyday people like you.
Fast, Simple Relief for Anxiety, Sleep, Pain & More
30+ million sessions show rapid relief for the real issues that impact your daily life, from anxiety and insomnia to food cravings, fear, self-doubt, pain, and more. For example, users report an average reduction in anxiety of 40% after a single 9-minute session.

New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Aug 13, 2026 Christopher Laprath, who works as a professional intuitive, is author of Trestle Creek: Things the Dead Fear. Christopher explores what it means to “see the unseen,” describing how intuitive perception can reveal hidden belief systems, inherited patterns, energetic imprints, and unresolved experiences that quietly shape our lives. Through vivid personal stories, he explains how learning to recognize and release these unseen influences can awaken our innate gifts and open new possibilities for healing and transformation. Laprath discusses intuition, consciousness, time, mediumship, and the mysteries that lie beyond ordinary perception. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:24 Seeing the unseen 00:09:24 Energetic perception 00:17:59 Knowing beyond time 00:25:48 Releasing old patterns 00:34:07 Letting go 00:42:20 Earthbound spirits 00:50:53 Living with mystery 00:59:08 Opening new possibilities 01:06:09 Conclusion New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man.

“20th to 21st Century Mindset” with Marianne Williamson
The Abstract Mind with Chris Niebauer
New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Aug 11, 2026 Chris Niebauer earned his Ph.D in cognitive neuropsychology from the University of Toledo, specializing in left- and right-brain differences. He is the author of The Abstract Mind: How Thinking Became the Source of Suffering—And How to Break Free, the bestselling No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up to Buddhism, and its companion workbook. He taught consciousness, mindfulness, brain lateralization, and artificial intelligence for 22 years as a professor at a Pennsylvania state university. In this conversation, Chris explores the philosophical foundations of his new book, The Abstract Mind, drawing on William James’s concept of vicious abstractionism and Alfred North Whitehead’s fallacy of misplaced concreteness to examine how thinking itself can become a source of suffering. Building on the insights of No Self, No Problem, he considers the distinction between consciousness and thought, the role of affective neuroscience and embodied development, and why direct experience may offer a path beyond abstraction. Along the way, he reflects on artificial intelligence, contemplative practice, and what it might mean to come home to the immediacy of lived experience. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:03 Chris’s background 00:10:58 Consciousness vs thinking 00:21:42 Thought, memory, abstraction, and reality 00:29:10 Vicious abstraction and the illusion of ownership 00:39:24 The DSM, mental illness, and consciousness 00:48:38 Affective neuroscience and emotion 00:53:11 Trauma, the nervous system, and safety 01:12:19 The richness of direct experience 01:20:32 Redefining our role in the age of AI 01:24:22 Jung, the unconscious, and awareness 01:26:59 A simple practice for everyday life Producer: Elena McNally Editor: John Hartmann (Recorded on July 11, 2026) New Thinking Allowed Guest Host Leanne Whitney, PhD, is a depth psychologist and transformational coach based in Los Angeles, CA.
