Hurry Sickness is a widespread phenomenon we see in modern western societies. Why is that, what is the root cause and what can we do about it?

Divine guidance can come to us from anywhere and in any number of ways. We've all had experiences such as seeing something that seemed to speak directly to us written on a sign along the highway, or perhaps we overheard a conversation or heard someone on the radio say something that seemed to be a message directed squarely at us. Maybe we've even had the perfect right book we needed to read fall off the shelf in front of us at the library or bookstore. But whatever way it comes, we don't always pay attention to the messages we are receiving. When we don't heed those messages, we often live to regret it and end up looking back with a lifetime of remorse over something we wish we had said or done differently. This week's show is a continuation of last week's discussion about angels and how they not only step in to protect us but how they help provide guidance when we need it, even if we are not heeding their messages. Our guest is Barb Adams, host of Radio Amerika now (www.radioamerikanow.com)., a live radio show that broadcasts on Saturday nights at 9:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the Genesis Radio Network.

While angels and references to them have been with us throughout history there has been an increased interest in them in the last century. An amazing number of books with the word angel in the title were published between 1890 and 1925, and in the past few years, we have seen a huge resurgence of this phenomenon. Why now? Why is this happening at this time in our history? As the world grows more and more complex, we are becoming more aware of the need to seek spiritual help to do all the work that needs to be done to straighten up and clean up our world today But our need for protection and intervention from angels is not just something that is happening now. Throughout recorded history, there have been well documented stories of unexplained rescues or interventions by spirit beings. Our show focuses on "angel" stories that clearly demonstrate that there are unexplainable forces out that that step in just at the right moment to help us in times of need.

Throughout our lives people and come and go. While there may be some reason why we are connected at a certain place and time, when that reason or purpose ends it is not unusual for people to drift apart. While most of these partings are comfortable and end without any drama or emotional upset, others are more unpleasant and stressful and can leave lingering regrets that stay with us over the years. Our guest this week is Kathy Shorten, and her personal story emphasizes how life sometimes comes circle and we are given another chance to make something right. Kathy discusses how a regrettable incident 18 years in her past had stayed with her unresolved over the years, but had a remarkable, surprising and unexpected resolution

PTSD of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is something we hear about frequently, but unless it affects us personally or someone we know, we may know much about it. This is a condition that profoundly effects a person's ability to function normally or have any sense of peace or well being in their life. While PTSD is a complex conditions, the simplest explanation of it is that it is like having your natural fight or flight response stuck in fast forward. The more scientific explanation of it is that fear is a natural response, and when we are actually going through a life threatening situation, an area hidden deep inside the brain known as the amygdala triggers the automatic protective reaction we know as fight or flight. PTSD is thought to be an abnormal activation of the amygdala. While we commonly associate PTSD with war veterans it is not limited to them. It can happen to anyone as the result of a terrifying event or ordeal during which severe physical harm actually happens or is threatened. On today's show Judith discusses the Veterans Stress Project and how EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is providing relief for thousands of people suffering from both PTSD and many other stress-related disorders.

Too often what we dream of when we are young goes by the wayside because life intervenes and those dreams start fading away. We learn to accept less than what we want, and tell ourselves that's just how it is. But sometimes something monumental or catastrophic happens that jolts us out our of our lethargy. This is what happened to Donna Visocky. Donna's daughter Kristi died in an automobile accident in 2003 and it was her passing that propelled Donna on the soul journey she is pursuing, and through personal stories and examples shares the things she has learned along the way. The theme for today's show is that It is never too late to realize your dreams. Donna's message to all of us is that the dreams that you brought with you when you came into this world are calling you still, waiting to be born in new and imaginative ways. Whether you have been inspired to make a change or change has been forced upon you, this can be a time of great exhilaration. Donna is the founder of Bella Spark Productions, which is one of the top metaphysical and consciousness-raising organizations in the US and includes Bella Spark Magazine, a popular publication throughout northern Colorado. More about Donna and her company is available at www.bellaspark.com.

No one truly wants to be alone especially at the end of their life, and If you were to ask the question what do you most fear, for most people being abandoned and alone isgoing to be somewhere right at the top of the list. As humans we are social creatures and we came into this world hardwired to interact with one another. When we become isolated and our ability to interact is gone, the results are often disastrous. Loneliness is no respecter of ages and itoften has nothing to do with being alone. When we feel this deep sense of disconnection and isolation from others, we can be surrounded by crowds and still feel unbearably alone Our show this week pinpoints how loneliness and isolation at any age can lead to depression, alcoholism and even suicide, which is becoming rampant in our society. Our guest is Randy Mergler, a marriage and family therapist who has worked with people struggling with any and all of these issues and has experienced some of them himself.

We tend to view miracles as something that happens to other people in some other place, usually having to do with some miraculous healing or religious vision. Yet events that can only be construed as miracles happen around us every day. We live in a world of miracles and we also live in a world of natural law and order. What we may not realize is that the same laws that produce the natural order of things also produce what we consider to be miracles--those wondrous and unexpected events that occur seemingly out of nowhere for no explainable reason. But what if we can create our own miracles? The truth is, we can and we will be discussing how that can happen. Our show this week features Linda Potter, a spiritual practitioner who teaches a class entitled "Shortcut to a Miracle," based on the book by the same name authored by Michael C. Rann and Elizabeth Rann Arrott. The next "Shortcut to a Miracle" class is being held, Tuesday evenings, 6-9 pm., Sept. 10 - Oct. 29, with a one-day workshop on Saturday, Sept. 21.

This week's show focuses on intuition, inspiration and creativity and how these things all link together. There is nothing that is human made that did not exist first in someone's mind. The human mind is constantly active and creative, thus it is literally impossible for us to go through life without ideas. Ideas often just spring into our head, but where do they come from and what inspires them? Often ideas are the result of our intuition, but how can we learn to tune into our inborn intuition and trust what it is telling us? Judith's guest this week is Veronica Lee, an intuitive, mentor, speaker and writer who began her work in the mystical realms as a young child when she learned about hands-on healing, meditation, visualization and manifesting. In June, Veronica was one of 30 Experts in the OMTimes and Gaiam TV 30 Day Conscious Living Challenge in which she offered inspiration and tools on how to "Reclaim Your Powerful You."

In honor of the July 4th holiday coming up this week, our show focuses on the concept of patriotism and what it really means to be a citizen of the United States. In today's world we are quick to bash government on all levels and to chafe under what we may see as unnecessary laws and regulations. So many people complain about too much government, but on the other side of that coin, there are ways the U.S. government protects us that we rarely think about and simply take for granted. Judith shares her experiences traveling the world and describes what can happen to us when we are far beyond the reach of U.S. laws and standards. Her guest is John Albright, who is retired from teaching American history at Colorado State University. John explains why and how our government was set up as it is, and why it is unlikely we could ever experience a brutal, repressive regime such as North Korea or Syria in our own country.
