Spirit Gym with Paul Chek

Do you ever wonder why it’s so hard to make to make simple changes that could help you live a healthier, stress-free life?
Perhaps, it’s powers behind the scenes motivating you to drink that extra cup of coffee that becomes many more or skip your afternoon workout in the gym that becomes a lasting habit. 
CHEK Professional Jason Christoff returns to share what he’s learned about mind control in his new documentary, Planet Mind Control, this week on Spirit Gym.

Sound can do so much for us. It can entertain, inform, motivate and immerse you in its healing tones. If you don’t believe it, take an early morning walk in a park and let nature surround you with sounds that can heal your soul if you let it.
At the dual closures of a 15-year adventure in the corporate world and a long-term relationship, Tenille Bentley came back to her first love — music — as medicine to bring joy and healing to her body and soul. 
Tenille shares her healing story that led to a new career as a performer who combines music, frequency and science to connect, heal, soothe and celebrate and explains how you can too, even with little to no musical knowledge, this week on Spirit Gym.

If you follow politics at all, your head must be on a swivel (and hurting) with all of the upheaval going in America and abroad. In many cases, promises were made but not kept which may be making you rethink some of your recent choices at the ballot box and even squirm a bit.
Comedian JP Sears dissects these recent events and, like the deft, wise humorist he is, reminds us that giving our power as citizens way too easily on promises not delivered makes us the punchline of the joke, a lesson all of us can learn from as we create a better destiny for ourselves and the world this week on Spirit Gym.
Learn more about JP and his work on his website. Check out his new adventure, the Better Man Project, on YouTube. Follow him on social media via Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Rumble.

The state of public education is a mess. At the heart of it is a real struggle about a fundamental question: How much tech should our kids be exposed to daily in the classroom?
Contrary to what parents have been told by public schools nationwide, there is no single one-size-fits-all solution for kids and that includes the use or non-use of tech tools like artificial intelligence (AI) in classrooms.
Also, did those high-tech school districts warn you your kid’s basic math skills would erode so much that she/he would be tethered to a tech device for the rest of their lives?
Priten Soundar-Shah, author of Ethical Ed Tech: How Educators Can Lead on AI and Digital Safety in K-12, shares a better way forward based on the intelligent and deliberate use of technology that fosters better engagement in our public schools this week on Spirit Gym. 
Learn more about Priten and his much-needed work in the non-profit sector at his website. Listen to his podcast, Margin of Thought with Priten, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen to them. You’ll find him on social media via Instagram, Linkedin and TikTok.
Read the opening chapter of Priten’s book, Ethical Ed Tech, for free at this website. Buy his book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Bookshop and upload your receipt, and you’ll receive several free resources, including an exclusive bonus chapter and video course.

58:00 Paul’s crashing conversation with Claude about generating faulty AI art.
1:02:47 There is no one-size-fits-all solution for improving education and that includes the use/non-use of tech like AI.
1:11:40 Gamified engagement versus learning engagement.
1:18:06 Are we so dependent on technology that your kid’s basic math skills have been “downloaded” to a digital calculator on a cell phone?
1:25:30 The case studies featured in Ethical Ed Tech provide scenarios and options for the ethical use of tech in schools, not absolute solutions.
1:33:17 One unintended consequence of tech dominance in schools: A fixation on measuring and controlling every aspect of them (including reading and test scores).
1:46:11 There’s no community consensus on the purpose of schooling.
1:53:36 The real-world limits on how much schools can solve external factors like personal flourishing, contributing to the world and how a kid feels about herself/himself away from school.
2:03:21 Priten hopes schools will deal with AI faster than they did cell phones (10-15 years).
