We all have loved ones who have transitioned to the other side. They have not died. They have moved on to a different life in a different realm, the spiritual realm. The wonderous news is that we can still communicate with them, have a relationship with them, heal the past, and allow them to help guide us into our future. Just like we continue to grow on earth, they continue to grow in heaven. If we choose to communicate with them, we can learn from them and develop spiritually while we’re still on earth. From the other side, Joe’s son reassures him that there would have been even more pain had he lived longer. He then encourages Joe to trust his intuition and to stretch himself to reach spiritual enlightenment and soul enlightenment, telling him that it will be “exciting” and he needs excitement now. Please join us Thursday to learn how to communicate with your loved ones on the other side and to hear the lessons Joe has learned by communicating with his son who passed over in early 2016.

Uplift Your Life: Nourishment of the Spirit

Lessons Taught By My Son From the Other Side

The impact of one traumatic childhood experience can affect the rest of our lives even if we have repressed it or forgotten it. When we don’t know how to process trauma, it gets stuck in the mind and body. Healthcare providers often miss the connection between past trauma and current anxiety, depression, and health, financial, and relationship problems. If we don’t identify the cause correctly, it’s harder to cure the problem. The World Health Organization says that over 70 percent of people experience trauma, with an average of three events per person, and 78 percent of people who had a traumatic experience develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Most think of trauma as rape, war, terrorist attacks, violent personal assaults, and natural disasters. It’s much broader than that, however, including anything causing us to feel lack of control, like emotional and mental abuse, bullying, betrayal, the pandemic, global warming, serious medical diagnoses, loss of a loved one, and prejudice. Trauma can cause us to feel disconnected from ourselves and others. Research shows that spending just 5 minutes in nature allows our heart rate to slow, our muscles to relax, and our mind to quiet. 15 minutes in nature causes a reduction in the stress hormone, cortisol, and 90 minutes results in reduced mental preoccupation with problems and increased connection to others and the world. Nature benefits the exact parts of the mind and body that are affected by trauma. Please join us Thursday to learn how to engage with nature to relax; tune into the somatic wisdom of the body to face lingering trauma and rewire it; and to work with painful experiences to transform them and heal ourselves and the world.

Healing Trauma with Nature: Mindfulness and Somatic Practices

“Cure sometimes. Treat often. Comfort always.” A quote from Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine. In our current times, we seem to have forgotten that the patient is not only a disease or a condition, but a complex being that includes emotions, thoughts, and spiritual beliefs. If we are not treating the whole person, we have less chance of curing the disease. Lee Tomlinson writes: “Hundreds of patient studies on the benefits of compassion in treating and healing patients have concluded that those who experience compassionate care also experience: a physical feeling close to pleasure, a reduced desire for addictive painkillers, an increase in hope and optimism, an empowered immune system, (and) an increased will to live.” Yet 50% of Americans believe that the healthcare system and healthcare professionals are totally lacking in compassion. Even more astounding is that one-third of all Americans do not include compassion among their core values. With so much violence, anger, and prejudice, the world needs the antidote of compassion more than ever. Research shows that kindness and compassion spread. When one person is the recipient of an act to kindness, they are motivated to be kind to someone else. Please join us Thursday to learn how to bring compassion back to our healthcare system and providers, to ourselves, and to the world.

Compassion Heals: From Self-Care to Healthcare and the World

We often confuse numbing ourselves with feeling pleasure. We even have names that add to the confusion like, “comfort” foods, getting “high”, or a “trip.” Overeating, drinking alcohol, and taking drugs, however, are all ways of escaping reality and causing us more pain and suffering. Seeking empty pleasures like status, money, or reckless sex have the same result. Pleasure, on the other hand, takes us deep into our authentic feelings. Dr. Gottlieb defines pleasure as: “any experience that feels good…fills your body with delightful sensations, evokes warm feelings in your heart and positive thoughts in your mind, brings a smile to your lips, excites, amuses or satisfies, lifts your spirits or inspires a sense of well-being, meaning, and purpose.” He describes pleasure as a prism of experiences with four levels: physical (pleasures of the flesh), emotional (love, fun, and other positive social feelings), mental (like the delight of learning new ideas or the satisfaction of finding our purpose), and spiritual (including ecstasy, bliss, and peace of mind). Drawing upon his own life experiences, work as a healer, and insights from history, religion, philosophy, neuroscience, and mysticism, Dr. Gottlieb shows us how pleasure helps us live a fulfilling and meaningful life. Please join us Thursday to learn concrete steps for mastering the art of enjoying life.

Pleasure: A Path to Healing, Enlightenment, and a Kinder World

Kac writes: “In either this life or a past incarnation, faeries became one with the purest energy and spirit of creation and now travel through the gates between the material and spiritual worlds, bringing ancient knowledge with them. They live in a reality where their souls are connected to what the ancients knew and we have forgotten. Their role is to bring that awareness back to us, and they will stay as long as it takes for us to believe. It may seem to us that they perform acts of magic, but the truth is we are all capable of magic and we are simply out of the practice of using our primordial gifts. Faeries can only exist where and when people believe in magic. What do you believe?” Stories of faeries are prevalent in cultures across the world from ancient times to present. Please enjoy this show which originally aired earlier this year with Dr. Kac Young and to learn the rules of faery life, what trees and plants attract faeries, and rituals to connect with faeries and experience the wisdom and magic they can bring into our lives.

ENCORE: Faeries are Real: Connect with their Magic, Power & Joy

A new interest in scientifically studying highly sensitive people is emerging in respected institutions such as Stanford and Harvard. Fully 20% of the world population has a genetically inherited trait of high sensitivity. My guest has identified four types: empaths, intuitives, visionaries, and expressives. Being highly sensitive can be challenging in a world that mostly disrespects these abilities and assumes that sensitives are strange or crazy. Because there has been such a stigma around being a sensitive, there has been minimal information about what these gifts are, how to develop them, and how to protect ourselves from becoming overwhelmed with the pain or anxiety that we pick up from others. This is changing now, and sensitives are beginning to understand themselves better. My guest has a four-week plan to help sensitives heal from the trauma affecting their sensory processing and employ coping skills to manage their intense emotions and sensations. As Marchesani writes, “Living with spiritual awareness as a highly sensitive person is not only possible, it's enlightening. We live less for ourselves and more for humanity….We must help build a world where all humans are treated as equals and can live without fear.” Please join us Thursday to learn how sensitives can decrease stress and anxiety, experience more accurate intuition, maintain healthy relationships, and create innovative solutions by using their gifts.

Embrace Being Sensitive: 4 Gifts, Heal Anxiety, & Thrive

My guest writes: “My personal self-healing journey is medically documented and captured on video because I knew nobody would believe this was possible.” RJ has overcome chest-down paralysis, diabetes, pancreatitis, Hashimoto’s disease, and several other serious illnesses. His techniques have helped countless people across the globe with chronic illnesses, addictions, and physical, mental, or emotional problems that were not healed in other ways. His Ascend the Frequencies Healing Technique helps us achieve elevated states of consciousness and harness high-frequency energy for health, vitality, and deep inner peace.

Please join us Thursday to learn how to heal debilitating health challenges and turn off the program of illness.

Supercharged Self-Healing: Rejuvenate and Repair

Several years ago, I started wondering why we focus on our differences when we have so much that unites us. It’s a simple shift in perspective that allows us to see The Face of God—the reflection of eternal love--in everyone, regardless of religion, race, gender, socio-economic status, country of origin, age, sexual preference, and all the labels we create to develop the illusion of difference, the illusion of separateness. My guest, Rabbi Wayne Dosick writes, “These incredible challenging times call us to nothing less than a radical shift in human consciousness, a sweeping revolution, an unbounded evolution and transformation of humankind in the planet we inhabit. We envision a complete, unconditional, unreserved embrace of the World of Spirit and a World of Oneness.” Please join us Thursday to learn how we can restore civility, decency, grace, and dignity to our lives.

Radical Loving: One God, One World, One People

Self-healing is an important component to any healing process. Whether we’re healing physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually, our active participation is essential to our success. That may seem self-evident, but it means more than just showing up for a healing appointment. If we are seeing someone, whether that person is an M.D., counselor, or alternative medicine practitioner, we need to be fully present and engaged. I remember one chiropractor telling me that he had some patients who received no benefit from the treatment because they weren’t fully engaged as partners in their own healing. They expected the healing to be done to them and for them. We need to help by actively allowing the healing and adding our energy and our commitment. SFT, Spiritual Freedom Technique, is a process that we can use for self-healing with or without a practitioner. The technique uses affirmations in conjunction with tapping specific places on our body. The tapping enhances the effectiveness of affirmations because it bypasses the ego. People often repeat affirmations with limited results because their mind is contradicting the affirmation. The tapping along with the precise wording of the affirmations allow direct access to the psyche. Please join us Thursday to learn how SFT is different from other forms of tapping and how it can help us heal core issues from this life and past lives.

SFT Tapping for Self-Healing

Our spiritual evolution includes an increasing connection to the spiritual realms and awareness of our potential as a soul on the earth plane. Heaven as well as the astral, mental, and etheric dimensions are all part of the spiritual realms. Connecting with these spiritual worlds allows us to uncover our creativity and unique spiritual gifts. Fear is the only thing that separates us from the spiritual dimensions. We are all capable of accessing the heavenly planes, communicating with our guides and angels, our spirits from past lives, our loved ones who have transitioned, the ascended masters, the archangels, and the Divine. The more we know about the spiritual realms, how they work, what they are like, and how we can access them, the easier it will be for us to accelerate our spiritual development. Please join us Thursday to learn more about heaven, the afterlife, and how reaching our highest potential here on earth is essential to our spiritual growth and ascension.

The Afterlife & Reaching Our Highest Potential on Earth

Men’s way of thinking and doing has dominated our world and the structures in it for centuries. Women were generally excluded until relatively recently when they were allowed to work if they conformed to the dress code and behaviors that men had established. Women have spent so much effort learning how to fit into a male driven culture that they have not had the time or energy to look within. My guest empowers women to discover their authentic selves, passions, morals, values, and skills to create new ways of doing business, making money, defining beauty, and being in the world. Allison wrote: The Motherhood Center is a company with multimillions of dollars of revenue. In one year, without men, we were able to turn the business from losing money to being more than profitable.” The women making the decisions did not have degrees in business. They invented new systems using their native intelligence. Please join us Thursday to discover how women can become true to themselves in their personal and professional lives.

Empowering Women to Become Their True Self

We all have psychic abilities. They are a gift from God that many of us have not opened yet. Some are afraid that psychic abilities are evil. Some were shamed, ridiculed, or dismissed for talking about psychic experiences. Some believe that only a select few have these abilities, Others are so overwhelmed by fear and worry that they can’t access these deep levels of knowing. It’s time for each one of us to acknowledge the fullness of who we are and develop the psychic abilities that will make our lives easier, richer, and more fulfilling. We can all find answers to difficult problems by tuning in to our intuition and trusting our gut feelings. Fear does not have to keep us up at night or stop us in our tracks. We can even remove negative thoughts that plague us. We can all learn who we are on a spiritual level, receive messages from spirit guides, and raise our vibrational frequency. Please join us Thursday to learn how we can expand our awareness and consciousness and become enlightened.

Opening Your Third Eye & Developing Your Psychic Abilities

At the age of 15, I developed scoliosis with an S curve in my spine. This condition led to ongoing back pain starting around 30 and lasting for 45 years. During that time, I discovered I could wear magnets to eliminate the pain. That, however, would not have straightened my spine. I knew enough about the importance of the spine and our chakra, or energy centers, to know that I couldn’t be fully healthy and spiritually connected without healing the curve in my spine. I set my intention to heal and started practicing yoga and meditation, and working with practitioners of massage, breathwork, acupuncture, chiropractic, energy medicine, and other spiritual processes. The result has been amazing healing of my mind, body, and spirit with improved physical and mental health and spiritual development. I was not aware of Kriya yoga until now because it has been kept secret with only a select few being initiated by the masters. Dr. Lowenstein’s co-author Andrea Lett writes: “My first lesson in Kriya was to sit up straight…Many chronic aches and pains from previous injuries began to correct themselves through proper postural alignment. When I incorporated breathing practices, my life shifted exponentially…Kriya has altered the course of my wellness in transformational ways.” Please join us Thursday to learn how the ancient meditation technique of Kriya uses breath and the spine to unlock deep states of awareness, self-realization, and spiritual growth.

Kriya Yoga for Spiritual Growth, Inner Peace & Self-Realization

Psychic abilities are often referred to as a sixth sense. Just like any of our other senses, our psychic sense can be developed. It is not just a gifted few who have access to these abilities. My guest has created a series of mediations to help us awaken and grow our psychic gifts. We can use these talents to clear our chakras, connect with our past lives, meet our spiritual guide, and more. Having easy access to our sixth sense helps us enhance our lives and relationships. We can improve our energy flow, solve problems, enrich the lives of others, and keep out negative influences. Please join us Thursday to learn how we can access the spiritual realm and develop heightened awareness for a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world.

Awakening Your Psychic Abilities

A.A. Milne wrote: “Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though.” We pay attention to their basic needs like when they want to go for a walk or eat or be petted, but do we have conversations with them? Do we even believe that’s possible, and if it is possible, what would they have to tell us anyway? Most of us know chimps and gorillas can communicate with humans using sign language, but their DNA is closer to humans than cats, dogs, or horses. How would our world be different if we opened our minds to the possibility that our animal companions could communicate with us and become our partners, teachers, guides, and healers? Animals may not use words, but they have many ways of communicating through body language, facial expressions, physical movement, barking or meowing to indicate potential danger, fear, unhappiness, joy, etc. I have one client whose dog likes to hear what I am saying during sessions. If he wears headphones, his dog knocks them off his head or sits on the phone. She isn’t intending to be difficult. She’s merely making her desires clear. This is a relatively basic form of communication, but if my client didn’t understand what his dog was saying, he could think the dog was being disruptive or just wanting his attention and put her out of the room. Misunderstandings like this can cause a problem in the relationship when it has the potential of creating a stronger bond between them. When we respond to their methods of communication, our animal companions increase the frequency, depth, and range of what and how they communicate with us. We can even learn to trust our intuition and communicate psychically with them. Please join us Thursday to learn how we can communicate with our animal companions and how they can help us heal from our past and become the best version of ourselves.

Communicate with Our Animal Companions to Hear Their Wisdom
