Do you know the power of flowers or perhaps you just never noticed?  When do you notice flowers or send them to others; you are happy, sad, ill, a birth or a death, a celebration or just because it is good to do.  Have you then noticed the first reaction that occurs when the recipient sees the beauty of the flower and smell of the fragrance, you see a smile, a lightening of the spirit, and a sense of connection between two people.  Flowers are messangers of energy for light, love and healing.  Can you see it?  Can you feel it?My guest today is Jamie Levesque, a Bach Flower Registered Practitioner who will introduce us to the power of flowers in remedies that allow the body to feel, sense, balance and heal at levels that no drug or surgery can ever touch, the inner spirit and soul of the person.  Bach Flower Remedies are simple, balanced solutions of the essence of flowers, safe, and cost effective for taking the edge off of life, allowing us to feel better each day with no altering with pharmaceuticals or oth

What is the most important beginning for healthy food?  Safe seeds; non-GMO, Heirloom and from a reputable supplier are essential for the health of your body.  Food starts from seeds and if you do not have a good start, it just goes down hill from there.  Plants are the basis of a healthy diet and they are the most nutrient dense item we can consume.  If you are growing it, nurturing it and harvesting it, you know the safety of your food supply. Heirloom gardening is a lifestyle that has never left, it is saving the plant world.My guest today is Art Davidson, horticulturist and arborist from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, which carries one of the largest selections of seeds from the 19th century, including many Asian and European varieties.  All of their seeds are non-hybrid, non-GMO, non-treated and non-patented.  Baker Creek Co-Founders Jere and Emilee Gettle have authored a book The Heirloom Life Gardener which is the definitive guide to growing healthy and safe food.Baker Creek website is here, you ma

Are you looking all around for answers to how your life is showing up these days and no matter what you try, it still seems you are stuck in the muck?  So, how deep is the muck?  Is it time to make a life change that will stick with hypnosis sessions that are brief and effective?  Tired of the 'talk and come back each week' routine?  Get out of the muck and make a change.My guest today is Melanie Mamakos, a certified hypnotherapist in private practice who has a very high regard for Spirit in her work.  She uses the art of Braucherei energy healing for a truly trans-formative and unique hypnosis session, however her methods are effective with a minimal amount of sessions.  Melanie can be reached here for a private consultation or session in person or over the telphone. It is truly time to make a change and get help with seeing the world in a new light while being able to leave all the past behind.  Life has changed, it is harder for some and while looking outside yourself, you think it is easier for others.  B

In recent years, healthcare has taken a great hit, be it traditional or alternative.  From the nay sayers to the guru's, beliefs and practices have been challenged and thrown into the grinder to see if they would float.  What is the final result and where does that leave people to find help for their health symptoms that seem to be ever increasing?  Well, we will have to wait a few more years to see since we are currently in the vortex of change.Today, Dr. Julie Glass, a Naturopathic physician in Oregon, will be with us to talk about how she helps others see health in a different way and offers solutions that heal the root cause of disease.  Dr. Julie works with her patients to help find the correct symptoms, listen to what they are saying and correct the imbalance in the body to find a healthier tomorrow. Dr. Glass and I will be sharing what Naturopathic Medicine is, how it has been the medicine of centuries and why it is so important to start and find small ways to take care of your own health.  If you have

In this time of healthcare confusion and a significant rise in chronic illnes and cancer, where are we looking for our medicine; at the bottom of a pill bottle or a life altering therapy that decreases our quality of life to a place that we no longer enjoy life?  Plants that grow under our feet and tree that blow in the wind are the beginnings of medicine centuries ago.  So why are we so reluctant to listen to how they can help us and take the wisdom of the plant to heal us? My guest today is David Crow, the world's foremost expert and leading speaker on Botanical Medicine and grassroots healthcare.  David started in acupuncture and herbology in 1987 and has written many essays and books on the story of plants and how important they are for our health and our world.  He is also the founder of Floracopeia, which provide the highest quality of essential oils.David's work brings to light the medicinal qualities of plants, how they fit into a grassroots healthcare system and why many plants are now becoming extin

You have heard in recent years of Omega 3 and 6 but have you heard of Omega 7 from Sea buckthorn berries and all of the great health benefits?  Have you started to ask what you are putting on your skin or taking into your body and noticed so many chemicals and altered natural substances?  We have noticed what we used to purchase ten years ago is no longer the first reach when we make product choices. My guests today are the McMullins', Bruce and Peter, owners of Sibu Beauty which is the world's largest producer of premium, wildcrafted sea buckthorn that is organic and harvested in the Himalayan Mountains.  Sibu does not alter the natural state of the berry, therefore it retains its natural levels of antioxidants, omega 7 and other nutrient dense vitamins.  Since the berry is used in it's full form, it has an affinity for the outer layers of the skin, intestinal tract, blood vessels and other organs in the body to encourage healthy cell growth and repair. If you are putting gels and creams on your skin trying

Are you running through life in a 'cause and effect' mode with all the touchy feely things that society puts in front of you?  We see something, we want something and seem to follow the crowd or the fad but do we really know deep down inside what is important to our soul and spirit?  Most people have no clue what their soul or spirit is all about but they think it is their religion or ethnic background that supports their life.My guest is Dr. Katherine Kelly, author of Soul Health; Aligning with Spirit for Radiant Living and she will be sharing what our soul is, how to recognize when it is speaking and why this is so important going forward in life. There are so many guru's and books out there to tell us how to act, think, behave, repair our health and live fully but they all seem to touch the outer effects of our lives that others can measure and know when we are doing what 'they expect' us to.  What happens when we listen to our inner spirit and it does not fit with those around us?  How do we live in the w

When faced with the death of a loved one, what do you do next?  Are you frozen in time and just being lead around by what others may suggest to you?  Do you have regrets in not having set a plan for what happens after you die with your loved ones?  Your life is turned upside down and there is so much emotion, pain and suffering from the loss of life that many people seem to zone out and not make the best decisions about 'what next'.My guest is Mike Boyd, author of How to Bankroll a Funeral Without Breaking the Bank where he teaches us about the language around end of life planning prior to an event.  Mike share his tips about pre-planning, costs, types of funerals, and how to know what decision might be best for you. The reason we are doing this show is; in the last decade, due to economic issues, increased death rate or family members being scattered around the country, a death in the family may cause a rift that will last for many more years with the surviving family members.  Yes, death and funerals are no

Personalized health, DNA testing, Preventative prescription medications, and targeted cell therapies are in the news recently with hopes of 'removing a serious illness or cancer' from the body.  Therapies have taken a toll on people to the extent of taking their lives.  Is this the quality of life that you wish to live while going through therapies, while living with a chronic illness or even with a life that is challenged with stress related illnesses?  There is a way to support your body with nutrients specifically designed to replace the factors that are necessary for all cells, damaged or healthy, to work at the highest level of energy possible.My guest is Al Sanchez, Jr., CEO of AMARC Enterprises, Worldwide Exclusive Provider of Poly MVA, a breakthrough supplement that may assist in boosting the immune system and support healing damaged cells.  As many therapies set out to destroy diseased cells, they also affect healthy cells leading to significant health issues and decreased quality of life.  Poly MVA

If you get a serious health diagnosis; can you live the rest of your days in love, comfort and blessed by every sun rise with your loved ones sharing their every inner most feelings and fears to support the entire family?  Can you see the gift or blessing of time and love that can grow exponentially from each second that is presented to them? While death is a passage for everyone, when you have a health diagnosis that seems to give you an expiration date, is it something that everyone can accept as a time to heal the heart and grow the love in a family.  Many people wait until the end of life to share their feelings of deep love knowing that it is their last chance to share and others hold back and live their lives with regret or guilt.  There is a choice, to walk through the pain and suffering along with your loved ones to be compassionate and caring the way our hearts and spirits were meant to be.My guest is Linda Campanella, author of When All That's Left of Me Is Love, which is a journey through terminal

How are you doing with your health these days and what types of nutrition are you providing your body?  Do you expect a human body, living breathing organs, reproducing cells every second and brain that does all the thinking for this amazing body to exist on a diet of packaged foods and pharmaceuticals?  Really?  Is that not the current state of health in this country that is the norm?  Disease is common and almost expected to be a factor of life. Have you ever been in a group of people over 40 and sharing your common stories about what medications you are taking and how expensive they are? Perhaps, we could be in a group of people and exchange ideas about how great everyone is feeling and how they got there.  Does this paradigm exist in your home town?  Does this paradigm exist at your physician's office?  Does the physician offer paths to achieve a healthier life?  Perhaps all these people really do not know how to help you and answer your questions because they are not on that path.My guest today is Dr. Ch

Have you lost loved ones and feel there is no meaning to your life and it is hard to get started again? My guest Barbara Joe, author of Triumph and Hope, lost several loved ones but through her grief and sadness, she remembered how to pick up her life and continue to live a full life.  Barbara joined the Peace Corps at age 62, really!  Her inner spirit for helping others in Honduras helped to soften her grief from losing a son, foster son and husband. Barbara will be sharing her experiences in the Peace Corps and how it touched her heart and soul to help others.  Public service, giving back, and learning humanitairian principles are the core of this volunteer program.  There is always a need for volunteers no matter what your age or profession.  Are you at the crossroads in your life and not sure what to do next?  Perhaps take a step back and out of your usual path and learn the real reason for human existence, love, caring and compassion.This is the link to Barbara's blog where she continues to write about h

Do you know what mind body medicine is or how your thoughts can have an effect on your health?  If you are thinking you are hurt and in pain, how can that be measured?  How can that be identified to find a treatment?  How can it be conclusive that you are no longer in pain and hurt?  Just because a physician says a pill will 'pop' away your pain, are you convinced and feel better no matter what?My guest today is Dr. Alfred A. Barrios, a clinical psychologist, who is an authority on the power of the word and its effect on human behavior.  He is the inventor of the Stress Control Card and author of the book, Towards Greater Freedom and Happiness.  We will be speaking about how hypnosis and biofeedback may be a pathway to healing those diseases and other physical or mental situations that medications are unsuccessful in treating.Dr. Barrios has been publishing his work for decades on hypnosis, free will, biofeedback and positive psychology.  His website can be found here for more information.

After a death of a loved one everyone has a story and tips to help you feel better.  They even go so far as to say how long your should be experiencing certain emotions and how to 'click' them off.  What happens when the magic wand just does not wash away the feelings you have in your heart?  Maybe it is not a switch that goes on or off.My guest today is Vashon Sarkisian, author of Finding Joy After Loss in which she outlines seven steps to remembering your joy.  Vashon gives us action steps, doing things, writing things, believing things, motion, and not remaining stagnant in the space of grief but remodeling your emotions and thoughts around where you are and how to get to where you wish.Life is a precious gift, it is here for as long as possible but we do all have to transition.  How we affect others is the key to their joy of life. Please join us for a compassionate discussion of grief, death and joy.  We will have your back and be honored to listen to your story or have you just sit with the words we spe

When you experience a death of a loved one, everyone has a version of how you should act, what you should do and how you will 'handle it'.  While the event is similar the responses are very individualized.  There really are no perfect answers nor are their any magic wands to wipe away the pain and suffering that all go through.  And then, what will you do when you are on the other side of grief?  How can you go on and pull yourself together to enjoy the life you are given without guilt or despair?My guest today is Cynthia MacGregor, author of Good Grief who will share with us her personal experiences.  Crying, regrets and a funeral are just a few of the topics we will be speaking on and just how do you handle the memories?  Can you put memories away?  How to honor everyone and bring a celebration of each individual in life and after death will be touched on this hour.No one will escape having a death of a loved one and no can fly through the event without having some scars.  We are talking about this because

Why are we here on earth, what is our purpose to 'do' and how are we living our life to the fullest?  Are you of the belief we get dropped by the stork, we learn in school all the basics of math and reading, to be shipped out and find a job to make money.  Still further, your life becomes a pattern of working, doing, getting, having and creating the 'things and people' that fit the ideal you have modeled your life after.  Is that all there is?  Well.....In the past several years, people are again searching for the meaning of life, the answers to all their questions about what they do each day and how to make their lives better.  While this process has helped some to find peace to be loving and caring and giving to others in their work and life, many people are struggling with 'stuckness'.  They are stuck in the abyss of realizing what power their soul and spirit have and how to nuture a life purpose that will heal their heart and feed their soul.  Mark Pitstick is here to help answer some of these questions.M

Do you have any idea what homeopathy is and how to use it?  Why is it so important to find alternative ways to improve your health and prevent further illness?  Healthcare is everchanging and it is very clear there are steps we must start to take in order to help ourselves.  The cold, flu, simple infections, pain and aches are not doing so well with prescription medications that affect our whole body and therapies that do not clear the illness completely.My guest today is Dr. Lisa Amerine, a Naturopathic Physician, who specializes in homeopathy for children and women in her natural healthcare practice.  She helps others in prevention of illness and treatments for acute and chronic illness. Homeopathy is simple, very cost effective, no side effects, and able to purchase and use remedies that are over the counter.  What could be better to start and work with homeopathy for common ailments or injuries.  Now is the time to learn what it is and how it can help you.Dr. Amerine has a free download here on her websit
