A Fine Time for Healing

What if you could heal just by having the permission you need to become your most authentic self?

Today's special guest, Chris Marhefka, has the passion to lead people onto a path where they can do just that - where they can confront their past and accelerate their growth. The healing work Chris focuses on is a combination of breath, somatics, energy work, story work, inner-child work, mindset, and other modalities to get deeper into the subconscious and heal at the root. He facilitates transformation and creates life-changing experiences by opening hearts, expanding minds, and giving people permission to be their most authentic self.

It wasn’t until he found Training Camp for the Soul and did the program for himself that he was able to truly transform his life by going deeper. He is now the CEO and Facilitator at Training Camp for the Soul and the Founder and Facilitator of the Embodied Man Community and Retreats.

This month we are shining the Light on the fourth, Heart Chakra. Letting go of old resentments, lack of love.  To be transformed into Forgiveness,  balanced and caring relationships.

The time has come. 5th Dimensional consciousness refers to the spiritual dimensions that mirror our spiritual growth. Maybe now, more than ever, as we find ourselves living through extreme social upheaval, we want our outer world to reflect the picture of the life we hold inside.

It’s important to know how and why things manifest and why they sometimes do not. Manifesting something is not the inevitable result of following certain steps. Before your desires can take form, it is fundamental to know yourself as “worthy” of receiving. Feeling deserving does not come from an entitled claim of the ego but rather comes from your heart as an expression of your authentic self. You are divinity personified. Can you relax and surrender to the flow and allow life to come to you with grace? Life is much easier and sweeter to navigate as you reach into yourself at a deeper level.

1 in 54 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Often a child diagnosed with it will be prescribed a complex cocktail of medications. The challenge is determining the best treatment plan, while taking into account drug interactions and side effects.

Thanks to advances in testing, there’s a way to take into account a patient’s personal genetic information, which reduces the painful process of trial-and-error.

The Genomind® Professional PGx Express™ test is a cheek swab that looks at 24 genes related to mental health treatments.  It can identify, which medications may be less likely to cause side effects and which medications may be more likely to be effective for the patient, subsequently aiding in prescription choices, as well as, how a patient metabolizes medications for dosing guidance.

Today's special guest, Amy Edgar, APRN, CRNP & FNP-C, a nurse practitioner, founder and director of the Children’s Integrated Center for Success, which offers services for children with autism, is here to discuss

How genes involved in brain growth and development play a role in autismWhy symptoms and signs of autism vary from person to personHow the PGx Express Test can make management of treatment more simpleThe ways in which early intervention can make a difference in understanding autism milestonees

Throughout the ages, across the world, innumerable spiritual explorers have stated that our souls are eternal and grow through the experiences they accrue in an ongoing sequence of incarnations. The soul, a persistent, conscious essence, will take one form after another, to fulfill a given purpose each time, and thus contribute to a collective evolution of the conscious, spiritual essence of existence. The original or ‘natal’ soul becomes anchored into the body, and typically experiences a wide range of emotions and life stages from birth until death. For various reasons, one soul may make an agreement with another to trade places. This is called a walk-in event because a new soul has “walked into” a new body.

Today's special guest, Sheila Sepp, is the author of Walk-Ins: The Cosmology of the Soul. Sheila wrote it with the assistance of 15 other walk-ins and 8 people who provide their perspectives. Many remember their walk-in origins and hail from a number of star systems,  the 7th-dimension and the 13th-dimension. This is the first book to provide details about the processes of a soul entering into a body, the various types of walk-ins such as soul infusions, soul braids, soul overlays, jumpers and soul layering; preparation of the energetic bodies prior to a walk-in entering, the different types of soul experiences soul origins and the nature of the soul.

Sheila Seppi is an author, speaker, multidimensional life coach, healer, regression therapist, and teacher. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in Metaphysics and master’s degree in Metaphysical Sciences from the University of Metaphysical Sciences in California and is currently working on her PhD in Metaphysics. She is the Founder of SpiritWay Ministries which serves as a catalyst for focused body/mind/spirit healing and transformation on an individual and group basis, and to help prepare humanity for the Ascension and New Earth.

Imagine if your father took you at three years-old, kidnapped you and then told you your mother was dead. Then, once taken to another part of the country, your father basically abandons you and leaves you to be raised in several different foster homes and orphanages. This is what happened to today's special guest, Ed Hajim, well before Google, Social media and all the ways we now track down folks. Ed was left in poverty, abandoned and feeling incredibly lonely.

When Ed was sixty-years-old, with the help of an old suitcase, he found letters indicating that  his mother was very much alive. He was angry with his then late father for being so selfish and taken Ed from his own mother. Learning his mother was alive, who he hadn’t seen since he was three-years-old, 57-years-later, everything Ed knew went upside down.  And his sense of trust questioned. He had to think, does he reach out to his mother, would she want to see him or reject him?

Ed explains his incredible story of resilience, discipline and using his inner voice to navigate his life -which is a true rags-to-riches American story -  in his just released inspiring and riveting memoir, On the Road Less Traveled: An Unlikely Journey from the Orphanage to the Boardroom.

Despite his difficult early years, Ed learned to survive, to keep himself strong and focused. And step by step, he turned his life around, eventually living the American dream with the help of a NROTC college scholarship, got himself through the University of Rochester and then attended Harvard Business School. Became a Wall Street executive, a business tycoon of the highest order. In 2008, after 20 years as a trustee of the University of Rochester, Hajim became chairman of its board and gave the school $30 million to support scholarships and endow the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - the largest single donation in its history.

In the practice of Dr. Steven Eisenberg—AKA “the singing oncologist”—the enemy is cancer, but it's also denial, anger, and fear—draining emotions that can interfere with the effectiveness of treatment. Dr. Steven helps patients fight cancer using both time-tested conventional therapies and innovative medical technologies. At the same time, he helps them overcome negative emotions by cultivating acceptance, love, and self-compassion in a deeply personal way, through laughter, empathy, and the music he plays and sings for and with them.

Dr. Steven’s forthcoming book, Love is the Strongest Medicine: Notes from a Cancer Doctor on Connection, Creativity, and Compassioninvites us to celebrate this truth. It tells a compelling story of a doctor's experience on the front lines of care, offers a road map for bringing humanity back into traditional medical practice and gives patients, families, and caregivers a blueprint for living each day with hope.

Steven Eisenberg is a triple-board-certified physician in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hematology. As the co-founder of cCARE, California's largest medical oncology practice, he serves as the practice's Medical Director of Integrative Oncology, as well as its unofficial CEO (Chief Empathy Officer). He is also co-founder of Workup, Inc., a collaboration platform for health care teams.

His practice of writing songs with his patients earned him the nickname "the singing oncologist" and has helped him become the most-followed oncologist on Twitter and an in-demand conference speaker. His work has been featured on NBC's TODAY as well as in People magazine, Huffington Post, US News & World Report, Reader's Digest, and many other publications. He is the host of The Dr. Steven Show and podcast.
