Gratitude In Action

The Ascension Show Seven Gratitude in Action

This is the week in the United States that many of us think about Gratitude and its role in our lives. The Ascension Show Team wants us to paint all our days in the colors of #GRATITUDE! We dig deep and see what we’re grateful for in our personal lives, but Dr. Denise McDermott and Dr. Andrea Best also talk about how they counsel their patients in gratitude. Look for Ascension Medium Jennifer Shaffer to tune us into how this is prevalent in her practice too. Dr. Best will school us on the Science of Gratitude and how our body, mind and soul benefit from incorporating this into mindful practices. We’re also “Being Real Here” — at this Time of Thanksgiving in the age of pandemic. We share our unique and creative plans for getting through the holiday season. From quarantine groups, bi-coastal family sing-alongs and more! Plus, we will discuss nutrition => exercise => and your immune system. Look for our Gratitude in Action segment when we serve up homework to load up your platter of grateful feelings and all its healthy side dishes.

Tune In.  Be Aware.  Access Your Channel with the Ascension Medium

The Ascension Show Team shines the spotlight on our very own Ascension Medium Jennifer Shaffer.  We hear about the origins and evolution of her skills as a practicing spiritual intuitive.   From a robust practice of individual clients to pro-bono work for more than a decade working with families and various law enforcement agencies. Jennifer takes us through a typical day, getting the downloads of being connected to the spirit world.  How did she know she had this ability?  How did she overcome any fears or concerns she might’ve had at first? Jennifer feels everyone has this ability to some 

extent. We’ll let science meet the spiritual.  And find out how your Loved Ones from the other side communicate and how to feel their energy. You’ll get your very own AWARENESS lesson, with take-home work for you to tune in to.  How does Jennifer do that?   You’ll find out!

On Alchemy: Collective Greed to Corporate Social Responsibility

What an honor to do a DEEP Dive after this week’s show on The Ascension with Dr. Berger! We are honored to have her as part of the Ascension Team! ~Dr. Denise

Commentary by Denise D. Berger, EdD, Conscious Capitalism Guru

Our talk was kicked off by Dr. Andrea Best’s prompt: can we say that we are living in a time of “collective greed.”  As we pondered that, what comes to mind is the understanding and (sometimes difficult) acceptance that we humans are at different levels of consciousness.  And greed operates at a lower level, right?  It seems that we have a duality, rather a range, of collectiveness in society – from, yes, collective greed, but also to collective impact and goodness, led by virtues, character and culture that is grounded in a moral ethos.  And developing organizational culture has to be tied to developing individual character, for “character is to an individual, as culture is to an organization.”
When we think about organizations, CSR (corporate social responsibility) is mirroring what we see in the “collectiveness” range.  The quote that captures the range: CSR is like teenage sex. “Everyone says they’re doing it, but only half are doing it. And of the half, only half are doing it THE RIGHT WAY.”  At the most basic level of CSR, an organization is doing what it needs to do to mitigate risk. They are compliant. They are likely to also be philanthropic, in a sense that they donate money to some causes or activities.  But that only puts them on the game board.  They are merely standing on “go.”  And so there is a lot of room in there to exhibit greed, to put out empty marketing statements or half-baked brand promises.
The more sophisticated levels of CSR – itCSR – are transformative, integrative, innovative, COLLABORATIVE, shared, distributive, and collective. The organizations that are leading from a place of collective goodness  value both the business case for CSR (and embedded in this is EDI work) as well as the circularity of doing their part to have meaningful positive impact on people/communities and the planet/environment.  By circularity, I am talking about circular wisdom, guided by virtues – that doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do AND doing it the right way, results in elevating everyone!  A thriving society helps businesses; and a prosperous business helps (should/can help) society. As MLK Jr, said, “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality; tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
