good morning. it's always a joy to host mosaic and the last two in three years we have had the pleasure of having and welcome back. great to have a guy is. now tell us with had to the three or four years of the program but some people hearing it for the first time so tell us what what inspired you to start

this great program. over 30 years ago i met dr. terry working with children who were life-threatening deny began to volunteered and served in the work. and we began this for about 20 years ago at that time jury was ready with children or life threatened some redefined the center for poverty racism as and violence as life-threatening diseases that impact over lives so we formed the work around that and open up the north healing center that attitude north healing center and the last two years is a movement that requires courage and innovations to we've created a lot of different programs and the ground of the work is added.

the wanted to have the definition traditional mental- health philosophy. know what truly struck me when i came in contact with the animation is self inquiry. we are responsible for our thoughts one is responsible for once the recent actions feelings and actions we cannot hold anyone else responsible for our actions and that brought home. the revised in the scripture and province of as a person thinks in their heart so are they. and there are two principles the very first one states that the essence of our being as love and the second is that health is in the peace and

healing is letting go of fear. we're talking and let the issue of fear fear it is the cheapest room in the house. so they've helped us to move from the place of fear to the place of love. out of the two principals all our programs in oakland came out of those two principles. it's very easy to go to fear he don't think the but you may valley retreat into fear and it takes courage and ability to innovate in order to move out of fear and that's what is so difficult for us to bring changes in today is mother stayed so it's really important that we as women merely tap into

our love so we can begin to move and become courageous for children because we are the ones to prepare the children for future generations have for them to be courageous and able to innovate and healing is a movement and reportable global network of attitude and healing centers. they have centers all over the world so we connect with the centers. and july were going to be going to guadalajara to really share the attitude of killing innovations we have around the super hero so sure in our leadership programs and also sharing these leadership program at they're doing. all of the work-sharing with other people so they can see most important thing is that we

individuals the and to tap into our love essence and began to see the essence of our being as love and that we can choose peace over conflict and become a love finders pill can we will be back in the next segment looking at the books protecting newly beyond fear so please join us and i had to healing that so important to our lives a hole

in if welcome back. i was reading a map book collection the candidate had across a book called beyond fear that have received back into dozen to expel them now tell

muscle about your book. the book actually was born out of a conference was orchestrated by a delete john denver the symposium and aspen in colorado so we invented the lie to us to come to aspen to do a presentation on our work in of the challenges that we face. the publishers asked us to write the book so the book is focused focuses on the principles of that attitude principles perhaps as a platform to encourage people to tap into a lot of times is not happen to us but how we handle it. the actions that we take and the activities that involve an

issues that happen to us you mentioned a few of them earlier the mention a few more health is inner peace and healing is letting go of fear. giving and receiving are the same we can let go of the past and of the future and as the only time there is in each incident is forgiving rican learned to love ourselves and others by forgiving mother than judging who would become of finders rather than felt finders we're students and teachers to each other since love is eternal death need not be viewed as fearful as a few of them. attitude and healing a such a courageous thing because what it does is require the individual to take responsibility for their thoughts, feelings and actions. many times when something bad happens or you may have old wounds to the person that did it to you to come to take care of it but even if one of a person might do is still up to you to

start the process of healing and to practice forgiveness and that's a difficult part. it requires innovations and sometimes you can use art we use drumming and all kinds of tools that you can use storytelling is very powerful and the really practiced telling our story is many times did not share the stories of the age and wounding because we have so much shame around it. the being willing to tell the story and then allow the hearing to come in and then practice the art for giving and that's the difficult part. it requires courage to be able to accept someone that you can't change i can't change your bike and excepting except the fact i can change the way think about you. presbyterian minister and of the park says everybody is

normal until you get to know them so there's a lot of forgiveness it takes to kill people. during the anniversary of rodney king 20 years. can we all get along that still the question have to access are we able to get along and able to forgive each other and able to live peacefully together. it is doing work around peace and this is really interesting. invited by the mayor williamson peace and organization whose mission was to inspire congress to create a peace department so we serve on the board for about 80 years and is brought some affirmation to share his according to the u.s. 2012 peace index the u.s. is more peaceful than the past 20

years that the institute's indicates five pieces to measure of peace. no. 1 the number of people in prison the number of homicides of the incidences of violent crimes and availability of small crimes going on to say important parts of peace are opportunities and education and the social capital that if every state in the net states practiced one of the principles of attitude and have this in a piece this translates to $274 billion in economic output so we are talking a balance in terms of how measure success in the west or in the united states meeting

when we practiced peace and at that place of peace this really come promote health and wellness and summing things can happen a lot of healing. we are doing this and women can play a very important role. i want to say a lot of women already are doing this like the mayor of a traveling all over the world to inspire women and let women know that if women come together and make sure that no child in the united states should go to bed hungry it can happen if we put our minds to it to. 49 dozens that foreperson

imprison euna lee towed the a suspect per person to educate and the world that we can begin to heal the more we can begin to really change those indicators. if we reduced the prison population will increase our peace. it will reduce the number of police we have we increase our peace. let's face it the first offense for a comedy this is the committee and an incident happens to a crime happens the police will call her called after the incident has occurred but people practicing peace and those incidences prevention becomes the way. education and healing and mothers can really play a role in that by now we have a wonderful program the west oakland parents in action. greatcoat let's come back to that end the self as a super
