A Fine Time for Healing

Today's special guest Stephanie Banks is a highly sought-after intuitive channel, mentor and guide who helps people connect on the soul level. She channels from the perspective of any soul currently on the planet, souls on the other side, purely non-physical beings such as spirit guides, as well as trees, animals, and Gaia.

Connection and communication are the common themes in all of Stephanie’s professional endeavors as a speech-language pathologist, birth doula, lactation consultant, infant massage instructor, and intuitive channel. When her mother’s dementia made verbal communication impossible, Stephanie found ways to communicate with her mother’s soul. This was the beginning of her channeling journey.

As a conscious channel, Stephanie is both the vessel to receive the messages as well as a guide to provide depth and context for the information coming through. She uses her keen sense of humor, love, and compassion to join her clients in their spiritual experience. Stephanie also mentors clients in discerning their own inner voice of wisdom, enhancing their confidence and self-trust, improving their relationships, clarifying their soul's purpose, and finding their laughter and joy.

Author of the best-seller Joining Joanie – Staying Connected To Your Loved One Through Dementia And Beyond, Stephanie is currently completing her second book about her spiritual journey. In her TEDx talk I Am an Intuitive Channel, she shares her unexpected experience with channeling and invites others to discover their own intuitive gifts.

Why does the Western world demonize aging? It’s time to pivot our perspective, and today's special guest, Coach Michael Taylor is here to share  his insights on making the rest of our lives, the best of our lives.

There’s good reason to embrace getting older. One study found that Americans who were more positive about aging lived 7.5 years longer. It is on this premise that Taylor is encouraging his readers to embrace the second part of their lives.

Michael's latest book, I’m Not Okay With Gray: How To Create An Extraordinary Life After 50,debunks the fear-based paradigm permeating society that equates aging with physical and mental decline.The book explores topics such as embracing spirituality, health and fitness, technology, joy, financial abundance and more.

Taylor is a Certified Life Coach who has helped thousands of people transform their lives from the inside out by changing their attitudes about aging. The author himself did not have an exceptional first half of his life but overcame being a high school dropout, divorce, depression, foreclosure and homelessness to become an entrepreneur, the author of 11 books, motivational speaker and radio host. He also launched a career and company at the age of 60 without any formal degrees or training.

Believe or not, the world has gotten a whole lot nosier, and many of those noises have crept into our homes and our workplaces. For home, noise levels can come from loud neighbors, barking dogs, loud appliances, lawn mowers and kids yelling throughout the house. For work, noise levels can come from cell phones ringing and texts dinging all day, or people congregating outside of your cubicle with full blown conversations and laugher. Who has time to concentrate and focus on mental balance when our minds have to fight against these disturbances all day?

A recent workplace noise related study showed that 68% of job seekers admitted they are listening to more than your benefits package. They are judging the noise levels in the office.

Today's special guest, Poppy Szkileris theCEO of Quiet Mark a company that is on a mission to make home and work quieter. In fact, they are the official certifier for Good Housekeeping to ensure that products meet the mark for low noise factors. Through their global certification program, they assess and certify the quietest products and building materials making it easier for consumers and professionals to find the quiet products for their home or office.

Today's special guest, Deanna Hansen, began her practice as an Athletic Therapist in 1995, always focusing on deep tissue work. She built up a thriving practice, as her strong hands could work out the deep knots in tissue. Unfortunately, as successful as her business was, Deanna’s physical health and mental wellbeing were eluding her.

In 2000, Deanna experienced a major breakthrough. Her large, heavy body stored much pain and she felt weighed down and depressed. While experiencing the worst of a series of anxiety attacks, Deanna intuitively pushed her hand into her abdomen and, at that moment, began a path of self-discovery. In a short period of time, Deanna’s body began to change. The weight was dropping, the chronic pain and issues were improving and, most importantly, the depression and anxiety disappeared. She immediately began applying this to her existing patients and the results were immediate and outstanding.

Deanna’s journey working with individuals has been very rewarding. Yet her true passion is to teach people how to self-care. Developed from personal practice and exploration, Deanna knows that teaching individuals to self-care is of far greater benefit than giving people a treatment. Fluid Isometrics™ Block Therapy™ is the solution.

Deanna Hansen is a Certified Athletic Therapist and founder of Fluid Isometrics™ and Block Therapy™, a bodywork practice that is meditation, exercise and therapy all in one.Today, Deanna’s goal is to certify as many Block Therapy™ Instructors as possible. She has developed an online teacher-training program so people around the world can teach in their communities and empower others to become their own health advocates.

How lovely would it be to always feel that you are protected, safe, loved and that everything is unfolding to support you?

There wouldn’t be any worry, anger, frustration, misery, guilt, shame or any of the other negative emotions, suffering and mind loops that disturb your sense of peace, gratitude, success, wonder and love. Having a permanent, ultimate safety net is a delicious concept! And one that you can have right now!

That’s the message and the method in today's special guest, Dr. Nancy Wiley’s, gem of a book, Divine Trust, A Practical Guide to End Suffering and Find Your Way Home. By surrendering to Divine Trust, you can weather any or all of life’s storms with a peaceful grace that helps you over the peaking waves, and the knowledge that you are held in divine hands—that everything is happening for you, or at least for a reason that will reveal itself to strengthen or awaken you.

Raised in a very traditional Catholic home, a sociology of religion class in college soured Nancy on faith, maintaining there was no God. It was only when she was at Columbia University in a combined dental/medical course that she suddenly saw the workings of God (or a Divine Intelligence) in the complexity and elegance of the human anatomy, that she experienced an epiphany—her personal “Snap Back.”

That drove her to seek more, to begin a life-long meditation practice, and study with various teachers in a variety of disciplines including Reiki, Feng Shui, Spring Forest Qigong and more. Now having left her orthodontic practice after 27 years, she has dedicated herself to igniting a massive shift in human consciousness, using Divine Trust as the cornerstone.

When bombs are dropping everywhere, some freeze, some flee, and some panic. When facing this unthinkable reality through three wars in Israel, today's special guest Eliana Gilad simply remained incredibly calm. Sitting in a chair in Northern Israel, as the bombs descended, she opened deeply to her inner voice and knew peace.

Uncertainty can lead to fear, anxiety, and self-sabotage. It can stifle creative problem-solving and silence self-expression. It can keep individuals from taking the risks necessary to express their true voice and live an authentically fulfilling life. Therefore, it behooves all of us to not only become comfortable with uncertainty, but to master living with it! And, as Eliana discovered, the secret can be found in your voice! 

Her new bestseller,Emerge Triumphant: Thrive through Uncertainty reveals an ancient truth about feminine leadership that has been buried by patriarchal history.

Eliana Gilad is the founder of Voices of Eden Ancient Wisdom and Healing Music Institute. She is highly proactive in using the power of voice and rhythm as conscious tools to help humanity grow toward a better tomorrow…the promise is for people to be their own leaders. 

By mastering the healing art of voice and rhythm, Eliana, who has worked alongside such luminaries at Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsh, Michael Beckwith and “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” recording artist Bobby McFerrin, develops techniques to help people calm anxiety, achieve inner tranquility and grow their self-confidence in expression.
