The energy center known in Sanskrit as muladhara is called the root chakra. It is located in a layer of our subtle body called pranamayakosha, at the base of our spine in the tailbone area. The root chakra is our connection to the earth and to humanity at large. When this chakra is closed, muddied, and unhealthy, we experience fear, timidity, worry, doubt, anger, frustration, panic, self-loathing, survival mode, and defensiveness, and we manifest unhealthy habits, addictions, narcissism, aggressive behavior, bullying, and a sense of entitlement or victimhood.

In today's special guest, Dr. Susan Shumsky's book Earth Energy Meditations: Awaken Your Root Chakra-The Foundation of Well-Being, she provides an answer to these maladies. Her book helps us reconnect with the earth and primal energies with powerful, easy-to-use methods of guided meditation, affirmation, visualization, breathing, and physical movements. By practicing these techniques, we can reap the benefits of an open, clear, and healthy root chakra. We can enjoy  strength of character, integrity, perseverance, persisitence, self-acceptance, self-worth, practicality, healthy survival instinct and prosperity.

Do you have a strong intuition, inexplicable knowledge, or an empathetic nature? Do you have an unexplainable connection to the stars, planets, and galaxies when you look at the night sky? If so, you may be a Starseed.

Starseeds are advanced alien souls from higher planes of existence, spiritually advanced, intuitive people who were sent to this world to help it heal and grow. Since they are bound to a human form, many Starseeds may not yet realize that they are in fact Starseeds. And while not an entirely new concept, Starseeds have been gaining traction as of late within and outside the New Age community.

In today's special guest, Whitney Jefferson Evans' book The Beginner’s Guide to Starseeds she offers a look at who starseeds are and where they come from, as well as their innate skills and spiritual sensitivities. She shares fascinating insight into the unique personalities and nature of starseeds and helps you figure out if you’re a starseed, too! Perfect for anyone hoping to change the world or curious about different dimensions, this book is an illuminating and enlightening look at life on a higher plane of existence

Whitney Jefferson Evans is a spiritual seeker: she spent the years of 2015–2018 studying the energy healing modality of Reiki, where she completed all four levels of training and eventually received the title of Reiki Master. She spends her free time learning about other healing modalities and using herself as a test subject for the latest in wellness trends. Throughout her studies, she’s received certificates in Crystal Reiki and Color Psychology.

How do we move forward when a devastating loss befalls us?

Imagine being a bartender at a busy Broadway show when just before intermission, you get the call - your too young dad suddenly died. As your family's screams of despair pierce your ear and instantly shatter your world, hundreds of patrons abuzz with energy from the comedic first act descend on you. They hastily begin ordering drinks, and a shell that looks like Mike makes them, insides crumbles away.

When a stranger's unpredictable phone call delivers a message that Mike's dad had contacted her from "the other side," it kicks off a chain of events that would entirely change Mike's family's perspective on life, death, and the transcendent nature of love. Join Mike on his remarkable quest, as his skeptical mindset gets challenged and eventually overruled through an extraordinary journey, leading to an event that would forever change his understanding of reality.

In today's special guest, Mike Anthony's book Love, Dad: How My Father Died...Then Told Me He Didn't, he intimately shares one family's darkest hours and their road to healing, a road  long ignored or scoffed at by the scientific community. A healthy skeptic, he goes to great lengths to uncover the paradigm-shifting research into the nature of consciousness that exists, and shows us why it must be put back in the forefront with no shame attached.

So compelling is Mike's story that Netflix chose to feature it in three episodes of their series Surviving Death.

Mike Anthony has been a professional actor and (not-professional) bartender since he graduated from Wayne State University with a Master of Arts degree in Theater. His first book, Life At Hamilton, chronicles the extraordinary time he spent as a theater bartender with an up-close perspective of Hamilton: An American Musical as it rocketed into Broadway history.

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. 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. It is the dance of life. You are the dancer. 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.

Today's special guest, Mark Henick, never stopped thinking about the man who saved him from a suicide attempt as a teenager. Henick’s search for “the man in the brown jacket” and their remarkable reunion many years later was recently featured in PEOPLE Magazine.

Through Henick’s newly released book, So-Called Normal: A Memoir of Family, Depression and Resilience, he aims to break the relentless stigma of mental illness. He tells his candid, intensely personal account of his youth, the events that led to that fateful night on the bridge, and the experiences and transformation that followed. Mark takes readers inside the mind of a boy who had to deal with the breakdown of his parents’ marriage, an abusive stepfather, bullying and trauma — all while trying to navigate his progressively worsening mental health. In the backdrop is a community that didn’t talk about mental illness, one where silence and maintaining the comforts of “normal” was paramount.  

Mark Henick’s TEDx talk, Why We Choose Suicide, is one of the most watched in the world and has been viewed millions of times. Henick has been on television and radio and has written many articles on mental health. He has hosted more than 60 intimate conversations about mental health with notable public figures and celebrities on his podcast, So-Called Normal, and has executive produced and hosted the Living Well podcast for Morneau Shepell. Henick has served on the board of directors for the Mental Health Commission of Canada, and was the president of a provincial division of the Canadian Mental Health Association — the youngest person in either role. He has worked as a frontline clinician, a program manager and the national director of strategic initiatives for CMHA. Currently the CEO and principal strategist for Strategic Mental Health Consulting,

To quote today's special guest, Dr. Mark E. Klein in his book Franklin Rock: "It is both foolish and unnecessary to worry about our choices. There is no such thing as a best or right choice. That is because any choice we make will be influenced by the billions of other choices made every day. There is no way to know the outcome of any single choice. There is no single way for things to work out. Choices made by you and others will simply create a different reality. Like a train heading down the track, switches are thrown, and the destination may change. No one destination is better than another. Each will yield a different set of events, but since the goal is always the same, each has the potential to get you to where you need to go."

The next Eckhart Tolle,Dr. Klein loves to write. In his book, through his fictional character Franklin Rock, he teaches the reader about the gift of honesty, integrity, friendship, forgiveness and the importance of keeping perspective and at times, a sense of humor to get through it all.

Mark E. Klein, M.D. is a physician and author. His career has been centered on caring for others, whether they be patients, colleagues, or strangers. He is always a teacher, sometimes of new medical technologies to other physicians from around the nation and the world, other times of those even more important issues of life that none of us can avoid. He continues to practice medicine in Washington, DC. Franklin Rock is his third book and his first novel. He has four children, four grandchildren, and lives with his wife in the Washington, DC area.
