A Fine Time for Healing

On May 12, 2015, Amtrak 188 derailed outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Eight passengers were killed and over 150 were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the conductor had “lost situational awareness” and sped through the sharpest curve in the Northeast at more than double the maximum speed limit.

Geralyn was on her way home from an ordinary business trip when the accident happened. She was crushed in the crash, which killed eight and injured hundreds. Her abdominal, chest, pelvic and orthopedic injuries were overwhelming, and she was not expected to live. In a split second, she went from being a devoted mother of three boys and globe-trotting senior executive at one of America’s largest companies to an immobilized ICU patient on a ventilator facing a highly uncertain future. And for her family, the hard-charging working mom that could be counted on to shake off the jet lag of a flight from Asia and make the middle-school baseball game on time, turned into someone almost unrecognizable and completely dependent on their care.

Geralyn’s doctors use the word “miraculous” to describe her survival and recovery. Today she lives a full life inspired by gratitude and offers hope and healing to many others. She is known for her distinctive laugh that fills a room and determined resilience in the face of personal and professional challenges. 

Bone by Bone is the author’s account of suffering near-fatal injuries  and her long recovery in the years since. The forthcoming book deals honestly with the long-lasting impact of sudden trauma and offers hope – from the perspective of someone who has been there. And back.

Chakras are believed to be energy centers in the body, according to various ancient spiritual traditions, particularly within Hinduism and Buddhism. They are thought to be spinning wheels or vortexes of energy that correspond to different aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. However, when one or more chakras are out of balance, it can result in negative repercussions.

Today's special guest, Radha Metro-Midkiff, a Certified Life Coach and the Executive Director for the Integral Yoga Institute New York, is with us today to explain how the chakras influence our bodies and give us seven ways to heal and balance them.

Radha's upbringing in Yoga began at an early age, having been raised under the tutelage of Sri Swami Satchidananda at Yogaville. Her parents, Integral Yoga Ministers Bhagavan and Bhavani Metro, moved several times to ensure her and her five siblings received an Integral Yoga School/Yogaville Vidyalayam education from 1st to 12th grade. At the young age of 18, Radha was already certified as both a Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga instructor. Furthermore, she was among a select group of four individuals to receive the direct blessing of Dharma confirmation from Swami Satchidananda, a rare and highly coveted honor.

Today's special guest, Asil Toksal's own quest began with a realization: despite professional success, life lacked meaning. This inner discontent propelled a deep dive into spiritual discovery.

After two decades of dedicated practice, Asil’s connection to higher consciousness opened, leading to profound self-realization, inner peace, and fulfillment. With newfound purpose, Asil embarked on a mission to transform humanity’s consciousness.

What started with individual sessions and sacred site visits evolved into massive global gatherings and expeditions to powerful energetic locations to restore the Earth’s grid. To provide structured support to individuals and group leaders, Asil established the non-profit organization, Evolution One, gathering visionary collaborators and fostering a vibrant community of awakening conscious creators. Events and training programs were carefully designed to empower individuals as “Pillars of Light” aligned and in service. Thousands have dedicated themselves to self-realization, awakening their potential to effect positive change.

Asil’s role as a conduit of wisdom and energy continues, inspiring others to expand consciousness, integrate spiritual experiences, and make a profound impact through their

professional and personal lives and in working with the Earth.

Today's guest, Brian Proctor calls himself "The Most Grateful Man in the World."

Brian was born in 1961, the same year that his legendary father, Bob Proctor, was given the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, which began his father's 60-year journey into personal development. For close to 30 years, Brian had the privilege of working alongside his father as he taught from some of the world's largest stages, and for 60 years they were best friends. Brian attributes his success to all the lessons he has learned over the years from his father.

While working with his Dad, Brian found his niche in marketing and business development. In the very early years of the Internet, Brian originated a powerful idea to build an email list by creating value which morphed into a massive worldwide platform for his father to share his teachings. This idea set Bob Proctor's company up for success by opening the door early to email list building long before that became the industry standard. As an online marketer, Brian was consistently the top affiliate in many large product launches with joint ventures, bringing in millions of dollars in commissions for himself and his father's organization as well as giving many entrepreneurs their first opportunities to share their products and services with a large audience.

Today, Brian enjoys his role as co-founder of KellyProctorCo LLC, an organization created with his wife, Cory Kelly Proctor, whose mission is to empower people to live their best life by leaning into simple yet profound strategies.

Brian is honored to continue helping people just like you create lives, careers and businesses you love, living the good life on your own terms, and showing you how building relationships, making a difference and creating wealth fit together.

Understanding and increasing your LQ doesn’t start by simply changing bad habits or enhancing good ones. Instead, it presents a different model of reality with its own language. In other words, it’s not about tricking your brain, it’s about noticing and understanding the structure of your sensory and cognitive experience, so you have more information available to make good choices. LQ is a foundational intelligence that directly impacts EQ, IQ and almost everything else we do.

To bring his methodology to the masses, today's special guest, Lloyd Glauberman, Ph.D.,created the LQ app which was designed to help us rethink and then reprogram our relationship to the macro-elements of wellbeing. It officially launched on July 31, 2023.

A renowned Manhattan-based clinical psychologist specializing in mood disorders, anxiety, and relationships, and founder of the Hypno-Peripheral Processing (HPP) method, Dr. Glauberman says we have been thinking about “health and wellness” all wrong. Based on 4+ decades in practice he says most mental, physical and emotional health issues he treats are either caused or exacerbated by the three core macro-elements of wellbeing which he calls Lifestyle Intelligence (LQ): Sleeping, Movement and Nutrition. Seems obvious, and there is an abundance of information that should be helping us, but as a society we’re only getting fatter and sicker. Something must change – and fast.

Dr. Lloyd Glauberman's approach is centered around lifestyle management through an understanding of how timing and rhythm affect our core behavioral ecosystem: eating, moving and sleeping. His newest project, the Lifestyle Intelligence (LQ) app, is a cutting-edge vehicle that takes a unique psycho-educational approach to relearning, rebuilding and maintaining harmony among these three core elements in order to catalyze positive change.

Dogs have long been termed man’s best friend. They are known for their loyalty and devotion. It has been proven how they can bring comfort and happiness to people.  Their faithfulness is unquestioned. Some even claim they have healing and spiritual connections to humans. But what makes dogs stand out? Why are they so devoted to us?  What is the special connection with humans and dogs unlike any other?

Today's special guest, Heather Leigh Strom, is the author of the critically acclaimed and best selling book, K9 Spirit Guides: The Healing Power of Man’s Best Friend.  Heather will be discussing the social connection between human and dogs, what the connection is, and why dogs are truly man's best friend and most loyal companion, She will also be talking about the proof of the fact that dogs facilitate healing, elevate awareness, and expand our consciousness.

Heather has more than thirty years of experience working with and healing the physical body. But it was never quite enough for her. She felt there was still something missing. In the Spring of 2020, a very unique spiritual awakening began to unfold in her life. This is when the Core Four Spirit Guides began working with her, showing her what needed to be healed, and then providing the resources for her to achieve it fully. She experienced profound divine healing, a complete rebirth. With this new elevated consciousness she began to hear the K9 Guides speaking to her. She discovered that her mission is to share their gifts of healing with the world.

When we live in alignment with our basic nature, we come into flow. This greatly affects our present reality. For example, we maintain a daily practice that keeps us in connection and gratitude, become non-judgmental, are nurturing and supportive of the whole, live in the wisdom center of soul, and are devoted to the the shift of ages — the big pivot — which we are in the middle of now.

Today's special guest, Steve Farrell, is with us today to share the three founding premises of living in Universal Consciousness, and to discuss his new book "A New Universal Dream: My Journey From Silicon Valley to a Life in Service to Humanity”.

The three premises are:

All of life is part of a Universal Consciousness animating and permeating the cosmos. We can also say the Universe is holographic and fractal. There are physical and non-physical realms from smallest to largest across the Universe. The non-physical realm is pure love.We are designed to be part of this One Universal Consciousness. The One loves us and we love it when in a balanced state. Our natural state is to support all parts of the One. We are designed this way.The more we give ourselves away the better we feel. It follows that we would feel this way if love and service are part of our basic design.

Steve Farrell is an Evolutionary Pioneer and Co-Founder of Humanity's Team. In A New Universal Dream, he details his journey from Silicon Valley to a life in service to humanity. Alongside Neale Donald Walsch, (author, "Conversations with God"), Farrell co-founded Humanity's Team, a non-profit organization based in Boulder, Colorado which streams mind, body, and spirit courses focused on helping people throughout the world awaken to their deeper selves and the interconnectedness of everything.

In recent years, theories about the existence of multiple and parallel universes, a subject once reserved for physicists and philosophers at the top of their fields, have entered the mainstream. The realm of possibility has been expanded by Oscar winning films like Everything, Everywhere, All at Once and Into the Spiderverse,along with books likeThe Golden Compass, and video games like The Legend of Zelda, and Mortal Kombat.

Today's special guest, spiritual philosopher Peter Canova compares our "reality" to a cosmic holographic movie". In his new book, Quantum Spirituality,he unravels the nature of reality through the twin lenses of quantum physics and ancient spiritual wisdom. It answers the most fundamental questions of existence—how and why was the universe created, how did human beings come to exist and what is our purpose? 

Exploring the perennial principles of Gnosticism, Peter Canova explains how they describe major theories of quantum physics, such as the Big Bang, parallel universes, the Holographic Universe theory, and Einstein’s Relativity. He reveals how to harness quantum spirituality for personal empowerment, access to higher levels of consciousness, and manifestation.

In addition to being a spiritual philosopher, Peter Canova is a linguist, historian, and author of the award-winning First Souls Trilogy spiritual fiction series.
