A Fine Time for Healing

You're scrolling along Facebook or Instagram and thinking WHY CAN'T THAT BE ME?  How are they so happy and successful amid all of . . . THIS?!

That's it. Your mood is ruined. 

According to the American Psychological Assocation, social media can negatively affect your self-esteem and trigger you into believing you are not good enough.

Today's special guest, Dr. Agatha Sylwia, author of The Shift: How to Become Everything You've Ever Wanted Without Giving Anything Up, specializes in how hormones and brain chemistry impact human behavior and the ability to make lasting changes. Dr. Agatha will discuss:

Why do we get stuck thinking things like "I'm not good enough" or "life isn't fair" when scrolling social media? 

What happens to your body chemistry when you feel envy or jealousy? 

How do you replace those negative thoughts with more positive feelings? Should you start by setting time limits on social media use?

How do our feel-good hormones help us build better habits, ultimately leading to a better life experience? 

What exactly is "The Shift" and how can this concept stop the victim mentality and help people live the life they want to live?

Dr. Agatha's personal story of intense struggle, loss, and self-discovery led her to identify a simple system to realize any dream, achieve a goal, or develop a new habit. She has studied extensively on how the human brain and related physiology impacts decision making, amd years learning about the influence and significance of brain chemistry in order to create long-lasting change .She holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery in Canada and has been in practice for 25 years.

When it comes to issues around narcissistic abuse, do you "should" all over yourself? When you say "I have to" in these types of matters, do you truly believe that you have no choice? Are there things you believe you are "supposed to do" but really don't want to do in regards to your toxic family?

Many experience these types of dillemmas when navigating the healing process of narcissistic abuse. The dreadful feeling associated with these obligations is the same whether they are put upon you or self-inflicted. And you may desperately believe that you have no choices - that you will never be free of these burdens.

Today's special guest, Christiana Davidson, a licensed psychotherapist and certified hypnotherapist from London.is here to discuss this relevant topic and offer you some helpful hints on how to address these types of dilemmas.

Christy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) with a particular interest in the effects of Narcissistic Parenting, Attachment and Co-dependency. She believes that the most important question we can ask ourselves about our lives is: why? Why do I behave and think in sometimes unhelpful ways? From here begins a fascinating journey of discovery.

When you experience deep grief, hurt, or loss, it may be interpreted as an assault on the core of your being,  your heart, today's special guest Dr. Brad says. These feelings can be so uncomfortable, so foreign and so difficult to deal with, that they often result in the formation of an energetic “wall” put up to protect the heart from further injury. 

“A Heart-Wall is your body’s attempt to protect your vulnerable heart. When this energetic barrier of Trapped Emotions forms, it can keep us from feeling hurtful, negative emotions as deeply. Although this can be helpful in the short term, the problem is that it inhibits our ability to feel loving, joyful, wonderful emotions as well.” Having a Heart-Wall can make it difficult to give and receive love and can block your from fully experiencing positive emotions such as happiness, gratitude, empathy, and more. It can cause feelings of loneliness, isolation, and sadness, as well as physical health issues.

To the outside world, today's special guest Dr. Mark Halpern was a confident and capable chiropractor with a growing practice. He hid that he was living a double life. Dr. Mark excelled at sports and whenever he could, he succeeded at physically demanding, extreme and often dangerous outdoor adventures. Yet, this was a man suffering from crippling anxiety when not caring for a patient or skiing off a cliff. 

It was through the pioneering research done by the HeartMath Institute, that Mark discovered the concept of Coherence. When the heart and brain are operating coherently, people experience emotional health, more inner peace, increased physical wellbeing -- and -- most importantly -- an ability to respond to external situations, fearful or worrisome thoughts and other stimulus from a place of equanimity and emotional strength. It gives someone more choice of how to respond to any circumstance—without reacting from old patterns and rutted neuropathways.

He is now sharing his methods for achieving Coherence in the groundbreaking new book and online course Coherence Revolution: Finding Flow on Your Journey to the Present Moment.  

Dr. Mark Halpern is a Chiropractor, Author, Lecturer and Certified HeartMath Practitioner. He is also certified in additional healing modalities; Psych-k and Ho’oponopono. In both his personal and professional life, Dr. Mark has been drawn to methods that promote optimal health and healing of the brain, body and spirit.

Connie Huebner was living a normal life as a college student. One warm autumn evening laying in a green field staring up into the night sky, she was suddenly swept into an incredible experience of Oneness with all that existed. Never the same again, she spent the next several years looking for others who lived in that reality, finally experiencing that homecoming in the eyes of a number of awakened teachers of the time, including Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and Ram Dass.

Going deep into the reaches of consciousness, she began to perceive that conversation -- and as she asked questions, answers came. She assigned words to the healing technologies that were imparted and she saw profound changes in herself and others. The more she probed, the deeper she went. Awed beyond comprehension, Connie became a leading teacher of Divine Mother's healing and wisdom for humanity.    

In her new book: Divine Mother Healing: Vibrational Healing Tools for Your Body, Mind and Spirit, Connie provides a system that allows for anyone seeking healing or spiritual ascension to practice an entire transformative healing session, do shorter versions in the interests of time, select specific tools for individual circumstances, or do mini-sessions to have an instantaneous impact on an unfolding situation.

For the past 20 years, Connie Huebner has honed, refined, employed and taught the Vibrational Healing Tools that have been introduced to her via Divine Mother. She has seen rapid clearing of emotional and physical blocks, fears, resistances, negative influences, karmic residue, unhealthy emotional ties, and spiritual malaise -- and the resulting transformations that occur from the infusion of Divine Power, Love and Truth.

Today's special guest Paul William David is on a mission to save lives – both metaphorically and literally for the millions of people that are searching for purpose and meaning in these challenging times. A lot of what the populous say about finding your purpose, your why, and meaning in life is completely turned on its head by how Paul explains it with a much deeper understanding.

From a very young age, Paul would intuitively “see” images, get “knowings”, and be able to “pick up” information for other people around what their purpose in life is. Is it because he was born the 7th son of a 7th, of a 7th; which in Ireland has significant folklore around being “gifted”? Or is it because he is a mastermind with a skewed sixth sense? Whatever it is, the insights that he gets for his clients has helped them enormously.

By combining his extensive experience as a business growth consultant with his innate intuitive gifts and an exacting methodology that he has developed over many years, it makes him uniquely placed to help you to discover your true life purpose and empower you to achieve extraordinary results, both personally and professionally.
