Dannion has been praised as ‘the best orator in the field’ by many of his peers on the lecture circuit.

His lighthearted and uproariously humorous delivery makes his lecture and workshop presentations much in demand. Join us here in this highly entertaining and lively interview as Kala speaks with Dannion and Kathryn Brinkley about their relationship, what brought them together, raising six children and the work they do together including writing, running a center and leading powerful journeys to the Yucatan, allowing people to experience the Mayan culture and energy first hand!

Kala speaks with Arielle Ford about her book, The SoulMate Secret: Manifest the Love of Your Life With The Law of Attraction. As someone who didn’t meet her soulmate until the age of 44, Arielle Ford became something of a heroine for single women. But her journey to that place wasn’t easy. In her early 40’s, despite Ford’s career success, she was a self-described ‘failure’ in romantic relationships. When she did meet and marry her husband Brian, Ford began to get so many questions from people in similar stages of life that she decided to share her story. In The Soulmate Secret, the woman who helped launch the careers of Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, and Jack Canfield tells readers how she found her happily-ever-after in her husband Brian and reveals that finding true love is possible at any age if you’re willing to prepare yourself—spiritually, mentally, and physically—to become a magnet for love.

Arielle uses a series of processes that have to be felt in every cell of your being to create the outcome you desire. This practical guide also includes prayers and techniques to help clear out emotional baggage from the past and make room for true love to manifest itself. With helpful chapters on readiness, belief, “the List,” self-love, and more, The Soulmate Secret will guide the reader to find lasting love.

We are living in a time of uncertainty and fear. Everyone craves peace, happiness and success. But, how can we achieve them and at what cost? Dr. Zhi Gang Sha’s SOUL WISDOM: Practical Soul Treasures to Transform Your Life provides very simple, practical solutions and one guiding message: it all begins with the soul. Dr. Sha says, “The soul is the boss. Heal the soul first. Transform the soul first. Then, transformation of every aspect of life will follow.” He reveals the deepest soul secrets about five practical treasures:

Soul Language – You can learn to speak and translate the pure language of your soul and of every soul, empowering you to access direct guidance from your own soul, from your spiritual guides and from the Divine.

Soul Song – This pure connection with divine joy brings authentic freedom that accelerates transformation of the soul, mind and body.

Soul Movement – Practice Soul Movement any time, anywhere for three to five minutes to boost your energy and stamina, and to heal, rejuvenate and enlighten your soul, mind and body.

Soul Tapping – This advanced soul healing technique for self-healing and healing others can prevent illness and rejuvenate. It can even be used for weight management. Soul Tapping is an elegantly simple and powerful application of Soul Power.

Soul Dance – Regardless of your mobility or physical condition, Soul Dance brings delight, greater flexibility, the ability to release mindsets, attitudes and beliefs, and an increase in the frequency and vibration of divine light within you.

Coinciding with the publication of SOUL WISDOM is the launch via the Internet of an 83-minute documentary film entitled SOUL MASTERS about the work of Dr. Sha and his mentor in China, Dr. Guo. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, featured in the popular film The Secret, says: “Watching Soul Masters is a healing in itself.”

THE JOURNEYS OF SOCRATES
The Way Begins

Here is the long-awaited odyssey that forged the character and tempered the spirit of Dan's mentor. A spellbinding story of courage, faith, and love, The Journeys of Socrates reveals how a man became a warrior . . . and how a warrior found peace.

In Tsarist Russia, an orphaned child born of Jewish and Cossack blood grows up in a land of growing discontent. At an elite military academy, young Sergei Ivanov (Socrates) comes of age training to protect a way of life he doesn't understand. When a sudden death forces Sergei to flee, he escapes into the wilderness, with nothing to cling to but the memory of his grandfather and the promise of a gift buried near St. Petersburg.

What follows is a story of love and loss, of hardship and triumph as Sergei encounters mentors, masters, and a mortal enemy. Searching for a child he has never met, Sergei's odyssey unlocks hidden wisdom at the heart of life.

Comments by Dan:
I devoted four years of my life to convey the life, heart, and soul of my mentor -- to tell his story and answer the questions I've been asked. No book speaks to everyone, but I believe it will sing for many. You will find this saga quite different from Way of the Peaceful Warrior -- I had no wish to clone my first work. Journeys represents an evolution in my writing, where story comes first. And this story may lend new perspectives about your own life. For those expecting another Way of the Peaceful Warrior, I offer the words of one of Socrates' mentors: "In combat and in life, expect nothing—but be prepared for anything..."

A spiritual partnership is a partnership between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth. Spiritual partners use spirituality information from their inner sources, such as their emotions and intuition. They also learn to choose their intentions consciously and how to develop trust in the Universe. Spiritual partnership is a new relationship dynamic in the human experience. It exists for a new multisensory humanity that is being born – a humanity that is not confined to the limitations of what can be seen, heard, touched, tasted, and smelled. You are likely a candidate for creating spiritual partnerships, or you would not be drawn to these words.

Spiritual partnerships are not exclusively for couples in marriage or relationships; they can be created in families, between friends, in the workplace, on sports teams, at school – anywhere two or more individuals decide to create a relationship as equals in order to grow spiritually. For example, among co-workers, even if one is the boss, another is the manager, and others are hourly employees, the commitment of each is to his or her own spiritual growth, although co-workers of different job levels have different responsibilities in the workplace. Their intention to grow spiritually with every interaction rather than blame or judge each other when reactions occur becomes the defining point of their relationship.

Now that you know what Gary Zukav and Linda Francis mean by “spiritual partnership,” you will better understand the Spiritual Partnership Guidelines. Because spiritual partnership is a new relationship dynamic, creating partnerships of this nature will take practice. Gary and Linda suggest that you use the Spiritual Partnership Guidelines daily and see for yourself the changes that you make in your life. Then if you are drawn, please join Gary Zukav and Linda Francis, on one of their seminars or retreats this year, where they will share with you the beauty and empowerment of this type of relationship.

Comments by Dan:
Way of the Peaceful Warrior began my own journey as a writer and teacher. I've been blessed by thousands of letters I've received over the years. When I wrote it, I had no idea that so many people, young and old, from different walks of life, would find my story so inspiring. Over the years I've asked myself why. I believe it's because my story also touched upon universal themes-our common quest for meaning and purpose and direction. Somehow it reminds readers of what they had always known but forgotten -- the bigger picture and essential perfection of our lives unfolding. More info at: http://www.danmillman.com

Kala speaks with Dr. Norman Shealy, who holds 10 patents for innovative discoveries, has published over 300 articles and 24 books, the latest of which are LIFE BEYOND 100—SECRETS OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH and SOUL MEDICINE. In 2008 his book PONY WISDOM FOR THE SOUL and MEDICAL RENAISSANCE--THE SECRET CODE, a movie on the benefits of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, will be released.

In his book, Life Beyond 100 - Secrets of the Fountain of Youth, Dr. Shealy discusses leading-edge therapies and breakthroughs in the science of longevity. By following commonsense habits, we can expect an average lifespan of one hundred years. Adding the life-enhancing effects of natural DHEA restoration, stress reduction, meditation, reduced caloric intake, and a range of mind/body techniques may, however, give us another forty years of active, healthy living. Therein lies the available "fountain of youth." These are the conclusions of Dr. C. Norman Shealy after a long career in medicine and, in recent years, as one of the leading spokesmen of alternative medical treatments.

The result of years of clinical practice and research, Youthful Aging also exposes the fallacies behind many of the claims of the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry. These two groups, says Shealy, rather than increasing people's life expectancy, create the opposite effect, consigning hundreds of thousands of people to an often miserable and premature old age. As a counterpoint, this revealing book provides the most ambitious-yet medically grounded and practical-longevity program available.

Shaking Medicine reintroduces the oldest medicine on earth--the ecstatic shaking of the human body. Most people’s worst fear is losing control--of their circumstances, of their emotions, and especially of their bodies. Yet in order to achieve the transcendent state necessary to experience deep healing, we must surrender control. Examining cultural traditions from around the world where shaking has been used as a form of healing--from the Shakers and Quakers of New England to the shaking medicine of Japan, India, the Caribbean, the Kalahari, and the Indian Shakers of the Pacific Northwest--Bradford Keeney shows how shaking can bring forth profound therapeutic benefits.

Kala speaks with Singer / Songwriter Helen Reddy, Keynote Speaker For Be Your Own Psychic Conference at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.

Lynne McTaggart speaks with Kala about her book, The Field. This book is an exposition of the discoveries of a handful of frontier scientists who, in the course of searching for an alternative to fossil fuels, stumbled upon the Zero Point Field....a field of unimaginably large quantum energy - enough to boil the oceans of the world - which seems to hold the key to life itself: to cell communication, to DNA, to how phenomena such as ESP, homeopathy, energy medicine, spiritual healing, intercessory prayer and psychic power work.

Kala speaks with Nick Ortner, Producer of the DVD film, Try It On Everything, which reveals a remarkable new healing technique known as EFT (also known as tapping) and offers compelling evidence of its effectiveness! In it leading wellness experts, physicians and best-selling authors including CherylRichardson, Jack Canfield, Bruce Lipton, Ph.D, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Bob Proctor, Joe Vitale, Dr. Patricia Carrington discuss the healing power and benefits of EFT--a startling new discovery that combines ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychology.

From healing grief, chronic back pain, insomnia, addictions and phobias their profound, personal transformations offer evidence of EFTs effectiveness as a revolutionary healing modality.

Every one of us is a spiritual being, and perhaps no one knows this better than parents of children with autism. So many individuals with autism seem to "vibrate" at a frequency different from others because they are inherently gentle and exquisitely sensitive. They may more readily perceive all things seen and unseen. This may come through in a divine manner that is natural not supernatural. Kala speaks with William Stillman about his work and his book, Autism and the God Connection. Stillman's study of profound spiritual, mystical and metaphysical giftedness of some individuals with autism, has resonated with parents, professionals, and persons with autism internationally, and has received endorsements of praise from bestselling authors Gary Zukav, Carol Bowman, Dean Hamer, and Larry Dossey. As an adult with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild "cousin" of autism, Stillman's message of reverence and respect has touched thousands nationally through his acclaimed autism workshops and private consultations.

In his work to support those who love and care for individuals with autism and Asperger's Syndrome, Stillman sets a tone for our collective understanding of the autistic experience in ways that are unprecedented. Autism should not be defined as an "affliction endured by sufferers," but as a truly unique and individual experience to be respected and appreciated by all. In so doing, Stillman highlights the exquisite sensitivities of our most valuable, wise and loving "teachers."

Kala speaks with Jeff Brown as he shares his journey from criminal lawyer called to a more heartfelt path. Soulshaping is every person's journey from self-alienation to soul-satisfaction in the heart of modern life. That journey is all about the inner: the inner world, the inner wild, the inner break for freedom from the shackles of shame, fear and misidentification. Soulshaping is a no-nonsense inner travelogue that inspires us to do the real work of excavating and honoring who we really are, before our opportunity passes. It is a call to question the misguided self-concepts that are fed to us by the outer world, and to faithfully begin our own private revolution–a revolution of the spirit.

Kala speaks with Linda Carroll, author of Remember Who You Are, Seven Stages of a Woman’s Journey of Spirit In Remember Who You Are, Linda Carroll shares her own discoveries and wisdom gleaned from other women’s lives and art, especially poetry, to guide us on a seven-stage journey of recollection, reconnection, and recovery. The seven stages: Forgetting, Remembering, Exploring, Practicing, Shadows on the Path, Reclaiming, all lead to Accepting, a condition woven throughout the stages. It is the knowledge that we never completely “arrive.” We are always on the path. We are always forgetting, exploring, practicing, struggling, becoming, and remembering who we are.

Kala speaks with Annamaria Hemmingway about her book, Practicing Conscious Living and Dying: Stories of the Eternal Continuum of Consciousness.

An uplifting collection of spiritually illuminating texts and powerfully thought-provoking real life stories, showing death as an integral part of life. These touching observations of closeness to someone who is in the dying process, and personal accounts of near-death experiences and after-death communication, illustrate how coming to terms with the inevitability of death is actually a life-affirming experience. These emotionally evocative and inspirational experiences address timeless questions and help expand our limited awareness of the nature of consciousness. They show how each of the individuals concerned has come to understand that death teaches us that the preciousness of life must be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, as a celebration of our existence.

Kala speaks with Alan Davidson about his book, Body Brilliance: Mastering Your Five Vital Intelligences. Alan describes the "five essential intelligences" as Physical, Mental, Emotional, Moral, and Spiritual. Body Brilliance tells the inspiring stories of people who have exemplified peak development in each of these essential areas: Olympians Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph for physical intelligence; Albert Einstein for mental intelligence; and Rumi and his teacher Shams for spiritual intelligence. Alan describes powerful yet simple ways to fully engage each level and pay attention to our bodies' unique patterns, achieving the benefits of expressing the bodies potential. Davidson demonstrates that when we wake up fully in our bodies and harmonize all five layers, we discover a result that is more than the sum of the parts: We fall deeply in love with being alive and fully present.

Kala speaks with Daya Devi-Doolin about her book, The Only Way Out Is In: The Secrets of the 14 Realms to Love, Happiness and Success. Mass consciousness is at a point where they know there has to a better way.  They may not know what it is but they are beginning to open up to the possibility they can learn what this better way is.  Being in the Realm of the Secrets that Ms. Doolin relays, is being where you want to be by knowing you are already there but just temporarily forgot until someone who loves you, shows you the way. 

Kala speaks with Jessica Bryan about her journalistic quest, which begins with the “couldn’t-be-more-personal” experience of her own psychic surgery, Jessica Bryan, in Psychic Surgery and Faith Healing (Weiser Books, December 2008), takes the reader from The Faith in God Spiritual Church outside Reno, Nevada to the Pangasinan Province of the Philippines Island of Luzon, famous for its healers who perform surgery without cutting open the body — bare-handed surgery, where no anesthesia is used, and there is no pain, scars, or infection. Even as quantum physicists close in on a scientific description of how it works, Bryan asks: “Is psychic healing a miracle of God or a trickery of fake blood and cotton balls perpetrated by charlatans?” Explore with her how it might well be both.

Linda Drake, an intuitive life path healer, uses her gift for channeling souls on the Other Side to help the bereaved find comfort and healing. In this special interview, Kala speaks with Linda Drake and Vera Ramone. Vera shares her experience with Linda and how Linda was able to help her speak one last time to her former husband, Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramone's rock band.

Dannion's expertise in the area of death and dying has educated millions not to fear the presently held concept of transition from this world to the next. As a result of his journeys to the 'other side' and back again, he brings to the forefront the wondrous truth that there is indeed no such thing as death.

Dannion has survived insurmountable odds including two lightning strikes, open-heart surgery, brain surgery and a massive grand mal seizure. Many concur that Mr. Brinkley is a truly one of the world's most incredible near-dear survivors, truly a "walking miracle"!

In related issues surrounding the death process, Brinkley is one of the early crusaders of hospice and palliative care bringing the topic of end of life care to the forefront of discussion and education in America. Dannion created a non-profit organization, The Twilight Brigade (Compassion in action) to recruit hospice volunteers for dying Veterans. He has been a hospice volunteer for over twenty-seven years, having personally accrued more than 18,000 hours at the bedside. These decades of tremendous hands-on experience qualify him as a leading expert in the grief and bereavement process as well as being an authority in the field of necrophobic reduction.

Salle Redfield speaks with Kala about her work as a life coach. A Hudson Institute certified life coach, Salle has written two books and recorded four audio programs on living a joyful life. Her life coach work focuses on working with people who are in transition—people who are grieving the loss of a job or loved one, and people who are forced into change, or they feel a deep urge to change because they are at a crossroads.

She finds these individuals the most satisfying to work with because they are more open and willing to do the work necessary for a new lifestyle. They know they cannot go back to the way life was before, so they are on a quest. She also enjoys working with people who are ready to clear the clutter in their lives. The clutter can be mental or physical, and it almost always brings us down. She holds a B.A. from the University of Alabama in Social Sciences and is the Executive Producer of the Celestine Prophecy Movie. For the past 14 years, Salle has lectured internationally about living a conscious spiritual life-with her husband, James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy.

The book Genie in Your Genes links consciousness to genetic change,summarizing a chain of remarkable scientific discoveries that are revolutionizing the ways we think about health. Author Dawson Church applies the insights of the new field of Epigenetics (epi=above, i.e. control above the level of the gene) to healing. Citing hundreds of scientific studies, he shows how beliefs and emotions can trigger the expression of DNA strands. He focuses on a class of genes called Immediate Early Genes or IEGs. These genes turn on within a few seconds of a stimulus. They can be triggered by thoughts or emotions ("I loved that unexpected gift of roses Bill gave me" or "I'm so mad about what Uncle John said at the Christmas party"). Many IEGs are regulatory genes turn on other genes that affect specific aspects of our immune system, such as the production of white blood cells that destroy attacking bacteria and viruses. Epigenetics thus influences our health every day.

He coins the new term "Epigenetic Medicine" to describe healing techniques with epigenetic effects. He also summarizes the science behind the infant fields of Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine, both of which offer promising epigenetic medical therapies, and describes a few of the thousands of powerful personal breakthroughs that are being achieved by therapists, doctors and lay people practicing these techniques. The Genie in Your Genes shows that there is a sound theoretical framework, based on credible experiments, for understanding these astonishing results, and predicts that the insights of Epigenetic Medicine will dramatically advance the fields of both medicine and psychology in the coming decade.

Kala speaks with Dr. Stefan Kasian who received his doctorate in psychology specializing in studies of creativity, sexology, and paranormal experiences from Saybrook Institute, in San Francisco, CA. In his innovative dissertation, he interviewed people who reported dreams that seemed to predict the purchase or sale of their residence. Having started four successful real estate companies which have bought and sold hundreds of properties across the country, he devotes his time to teaching others to become financially free doing the same. After a brief stint in modeling and acting study, he recognized his passion for performing and teaching, and embarked on a career as a public speaker. Because of his expertise in sexology and tantra, he was invited to speak at The 16th World Congress on Sexology in Havana, Cuba—one of his most memorable speaking experiences. He has also hosted and spoken in front of hundreds of attendees at national real estate seminars.

Kerri found after years of exploring different religious traditions that each was valid in its own way yet no tradition was absolute truth.  She realized she had to break free of all learned knowledge and let go of everything she thought she was to reveal her True Nature.  Through her books, workshops, lectures, and programs, Kerri helps people identify and release limiting thought patterns which helps people lead lives of greater freedom, peace and love. 

Kala speaks with Dr. Leon E. Curry about his new book, The Doctor and The Psychic. Dr. Curry was one of the first physicians to treat children with ADHD in 1969, and developed Georgia's first rural dialysis center in 1973. But none of his scientific training prepared him for an encounter that changed his life in 1975. A friend told him of a plus-sized housewife in rural Illinois who was struck by lightning and began exhibiting psychic abilities. Dr. Curry immediately berated his friend for believing in such nonsense. On a dare, he called Greta Alexander on the phone. She asked, "What do you have to do with airplanes?” His surprised answer: "I just got out of one." His curiosity led to more phone calls. More phone calls led to a visit, which led to some of the first controlled experiments using psychic diagnosis. Greta could look at a patient’s handprint and describe their esophagus, liver, or lungs – even when the patient was seven states away! In The Doctor and the Psychic, Dr. Curry makes a powerful argument for continued study of this under-explored field.

In the book, Reaching Through the Veil to Heal, Linda Drake, an intuitive life path healer, uses her gift for channeling souls on the Other Side to help the bereaved find comfort and healing. She shares powerful, true stories that underscore vital lessons in accepting loss, coping with grief, understanding death, and reconnecting with life. From the deceased wife who helps her husband find new love to the baby who uses his life to impart medical knowledge . . . these enlightening tales touch the heart and remind us of the soul's endurance. Readers can also find inspiration here to heal from other losses, such as losing a job or ending a relationship.

More About Linda Drake:
Linda is an intuitive life path healer, having worked with Spirit as a healer for many years. Spirit came into her life quite suddenly after she was miraculously healed of two life debilitating diseases, an experience that convinced her to walk the healing path with Spirit.

In 1989, Vicki was a wife, mother, and successful businesswoman when she received a life-threatening diagnosis. Doctors claimed she had only a few months to live. At first she accepted the prognosis and manifested a textbook case of the disease - until she changed her mind. Her decision to live, coupled with her intuitive gifts, revealed the root causes of the illness and the keys to recovery. By listening to her own "inner wisdom" and honoring her "soul purpose," Vicki rejuvenated her immune system. By honoring her child within, she embarked on a path of self-discovery. The result was complete physical healing. Kala speaks with Vicki about her book, Coffee, Doughnuts and God.

In this book, Wennstrom tells the story of his exploration into the source of his creativity. In the late 1970s, Wennstrom was a rising star in the New York art world when he realized that he was too attached to his identity as an artist, and set out to discover the rock-bottom truth of his life. He destroyed his large body of art, gave away all of his possessions, and spent the next 10 years living in the moment, on basically nothing, surrendered to unconditional trust and the creative inspiration of his heart.

Transformed, he re-emerged into the world as a more complete human being and artist with an entirely new type of art, rooted in innocence and spontaneity. Today his art pieces have taken the form of unique, interactive, life-size sculptural pieces made largely out of found objects that open up to reveal inner workings and hidden surprises.

We are not required to live in fear, it is our choice. In this interview, Kala speaks with Jan Frazier, a mother, poet and author who asked to be free from fear after facing a medical issue. Her book When Fear Falls Away describes how she changed her life, by releasing her fears and rediscovering a new world around her...

More About Jan Frazier:
Until the summer of her fiftieth year, Jan Frazier lived a life typical for a well-educated, middle-class American woman. A divorced mother of two teenagers, she was making a modest living writing and teaching writing. Following a Catholic childhood in Miami in the 1960s, she had studied English in college and graduate school. In her late twenties, longing for hills and snow, she moved to New England, where she was active in the peace movement. But the inner peace she sought always eluded her.

Then, in August 2003, she experienced a radical transformation of consciousness. Fear fell away from her, and she was immersed in a state of causeless joy that has never left her. While she has continued her life as writer, teacher, and mother, she has discovered it is possible to live a richly human life free of suffering. Her wish now is to communicate the truth that within every person is a pool of calm well-being that waits patiently to be stirred to life.

When Fear Falls Away: The Story of a Sudden Awakening (Weiser Books, 2007) is Jan's day-by-day account of the shift in consciousness and its alteration of her life. Her poetry and prose have appeared widely in literary journals and anthologies. Her poetry collection, Greatest Hits, was published by Pudding House, and she has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She has been inspired by Gurumayi, Krishnamurti, and Eckhart Tolle, but the joy she lives in belongs to no particular tradition, and is available to all. More info at: http://whenfearfallsaway.com

Hot on the heels of The Goddess Guide to Chakra Vitality is Anita Ryan-Revel's newest creation: Selena’s Crystal Balls, A Magical Journey Through the Chakras – a fully-illustrated book for children (and their parents/caregivers!)

Selena's Crystal Balls is a fully illustrated children's book that takes children on a journey of the chakras – the body's energy realms that rule every aspect of life. Come on this journey to feel increased security, creativity, empowerment, love, communication, vision and joy. The story is designed to help children achieve balance, awareness and increased self-esteem by introducing them to imagery and colours related to chakra energy. The journey through the colours of the rainbow introduces children to the seven key aspects of life – security, creativity, empowerment, love, communication, vision and joy.

The story offers room for discussion about each essential aspect so that parents and children can connect in new and enriching dimensions. Parents, carers and teachers are invited to read the story aloud, illustrate their experiences in a journal, or use it as a bedtime meditation to send children off to a carefree sleep. By encouraging children to visualise aspects of their life relating to each chakra, parents are helping them achieve physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual balance in their lives. There is a section in the books for Parents, which includes tools and suggestions for different ways to heal and balance chakras – eg by using symbols, a Chakra-at-a-Glance guide and discussion topics.

In Nani’s new book, SACRED CHOICES: Thinking Outside the Tribe to Heal Your Spirit (Harmony Books), she helps identify what tribal beliefs are limiting full potential in all areas of life—from relationships, sexuality, the workplace, faith, success—so people can clearly determine whether their tribal beliefs are keeping them on a path of growth or if they’re standing in the way of success, happiness, or healing. Clinging to unhealthy tribal beliefs—social rules that limit our choices—can cause anxiety, sickness, fatigue, or depression. SACRED CHOICES is the solution to identifying those aspects of your “tribe” that are unconsciously bringing you down and preventing you from experiencing your happiest, best self.

Melissa's spirit essence portraits are wildly popular. Have you ever wondered what aspects of your being would reveal themselves to a psychic or "intuitive" and what these qualities would look like in a painting? Melissa combines her background as a clairvoyant with my artistic abilities to create your own spirit essence portrait. She tunes into you and does a 7" x 10" watercolor painting of your unique essence as it appears to her in a semi-trance state. She then combines the elements of what she finds in your painting in a way that will be helpful for you in your path of development. For example, this might include reminders of issues you are working on, aspects of yourself that you may want to honor, patterns of behavior that you are working on changing, etc. The session takes 45 - 60 minutes and you receive the double benefit of learning what she "sees" as well as owning a Melissa Harris original painting.

As a little boy, Matthew was an ordinary kid who loved to hang upside-down, wrestle and climb trees. He had an ordinary family. But at age 13, life as Matthew knew it changed in a split second when a car crash killed his father and sister and left him paralyzed from the chest down. Matthew’s body was completely silent for 12 years. Then he found yoga and began to study how the mind-body connection flowed through his paralyzed body. In the years since, Matthew has dedicated his life to helping others — able-bodied and disabled alike — experience the enlightening powers of the mind-body connection. His non-profit, Mind Body Solutions, and profound new book Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence provide the access creating these connections.

Recreating Eden: The Exquisitely Simple, Divinely Ordained Plan for Transforming Your Life and Your Planet is Julia Rogers Hamrick's paradigm-shifting book that reveals the way back to the paradisiacal reality we long for. It reveals that humanity is not locked out of Eden forever as has been erroneously thought, and that, indeed, inherent in the Divine Design is the way back to the Garden. Decoding the parable from Genesis (and healing the much-abused and misinterpreted Adam and Eve story through showing what it truly means), Recreating Eden purveys the revolutionary understanding that Eden was and is a vibrational frequency, and shows how to experience it again. Providing both remarkable insight into how and why we locked ourselves out of the Garden and practical instruction for unlocking the Garden gate and returning, Recreating Eden provides the map back to a life of ease, joy, and authentic empowerment on an individual basis, and in the most amazingly simple way, the spontaneous restoration of all humanity.

More About Julia Rogers Hamrick:
Julia Rogers Hamrick, visionary author and teacher, has been a spiritual-growth facilitator since 1982 when she underwent a radical spiritual awakening, including an occurrence of spontaneous cosmic consciousness, as a result of surrendering her life to Spirit in response to a health crisis. With this experience as the foundation, her teaching focuses on deliberately creating new realities through managing our vibrational state, with an emphasis on the relationship between vibrational frequency and our experience of life.

Most recently, in a whisper from the Divine, Julia was gifted with the remembrance of the parallel reality called Easy World, "where everything is easy." Upon sharing this extremely simple concept, it began spreading like wildfire as people at all points of spiritual evolution have clicked with the words, "I live in Easy World, where everything is easy," have found their lives transforming with utmost ease, and have shared Easy World with others. www.iliveineasyworld.com

On June 16, 1959, when Jean Cline was 13 years old, the spirit of George Reeves came to her. At least that’s what she told a highly skeptical psychotherapist, Gary Duncan, when she first came to his office in the spring of 1996.

Whether George is the personification of Jean’s higher power, an alter personality, or a soul awaiting completion with its feminine counterpart, one thing’s for certain: George is real. Travel with Jean and Gary through their initial encounter, past-life regressions, psychic experiments, and clinical testing as they tell the story of how a highly educated and well respected psychotherapist ran out of clinical explanations and eventually came to believe that George Reeves and Jean Cline are Twin Souls Merging.
