A Fine Time for Healing

You would think a psychologist who has done millions of dollars in binge-eating research would advocate for the self-love strategy, but after seeing it fail time and time again, Today's special guest, Glenn Livingston, Ph.D.,realized he had to get control over his and other peoples' "fat thinking self." He did it by disassociating from that voice-the fat-thinking self--which gave him permission to eat whatever he wanted.

You might find this weight-loss book a little bit disquieting. You're probably used to the books that subscribe to the self-loving school of management to get control over your overeating.Never Binge Again is unapologetically NOT THAT. It is no joke. It has provided permanent relief for hundreds of thousands of binge eaters.

Glenn Livingston is a formerly obese and food-obsessed psychologist (with, yes, a Ph.D), thousands of private clients and years of doing multi-millions of dollars of consulting to the food industry. But it wasn't until he stumbled upon this system that he solved his own binging problem, his clients and the hundreds of thousands who now ascribe to his method.

The Never Binge Again plan requires people to--get this-treat the ravenous voice in their heads as a Food Monster™, Voracious Dog or Pig! And he teaches you how to cage it so it never undermines whatever healthy eating plan you have set yourself on. With an irreverence that is fun and outrageous, he slyly whispers to you in the voice of your Inner Pig... revealing it's tricky and wily ways -then gives you everything you need to cage it.

Look around you. Look at your community, your town, your city, state, and country. Look at the world itself. Look at our media, our politics, our businesses, our culture. You will see people acting as if they are separate, alone. You will experience people thinking and behaving in ways that cause needless suffering, further division, and reckless destruction.

Today we are excited to welcome Nanci L. Danison, Esq. back for the second time on A Fine Time for Healing. Until 1994 Nanci lived the life of a successful trial lawyer with a national health law practice in a large Midwestern law firm. Then, she died during an invasive radiological procedure before surgery, plunging her farther into the afterlife than previously thought survivable.

Nanci is the author of several books, including her latest, Create A New Reality: Move Beyond Law of Attraction Therory, which she discussed on A Fine Time for Healing on January 25, 2019. Create a New Reality introduces you to the incredible spiritual power of manifesting that we souls possess, and leads you step-by-step through how to create more opportunities to better your life, to replace old beliefs that hold you back from creating a happier life, and to heal yourself of physical and emotional wounds.

Since that show, just one month ago, Nanci has made a stunning connecton between the profound knowledge gained in the afterlife and what she learned while reading Randi Fine's book Close Encounters of the Worst Kind: The Narcissistic Abuse Survivor's Guide to Healing and Recovery. She was given a huge amount of information in the afterlife about innate human animal nature vs. our own spiritual nature. Everything described in Close Encounters as narcissistic behavior was explained to her as normal human animal behavior. She was told that all human hosts behave like that until they are domesticated through parental and social training.

Be sure to tune in and listen to an intriguing discussion on that fascinating concept.

Soon after completing her graduate studies in psychology, today's special guest, Dr. Sharon Prentice, longed to discover “the why’s” about her own intimate experience with death in the form of an SDE (Shared Death Experience), and that of others who had experienced something “weird, unbelievable, odd” at the time of the death of a loved one. Her book, Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light is an emotionally powerful and spiritually gripping story of what lies “beyond” this life. The little known Shared Death Experience—a profound transcendent consciousness—afforded the author a peek into forever-ness, a lifting of the veil between this life and the next. 

Becoming Starlight is the true story of one woman’s tumultuous relationship with God during the soul-wrenching deaths of her daughter and husband, and her eventual redemption as her soul slipped over to another framework of existence—a realm of pure love and light—by means of a Shared Death Experience (SDE) at the moment of her husband’s death. Deeply embedded in Becoming Starlight is a life-and-death struggle with Spiritual darkness and loss of faith. It’s a story brimming with the stuff of life—tremendous love, agonizing loss, quiet rage, inconsolable sorrow, and a complete fall from Grace. At the heart of it is a war between who lives and dies, a battle that brings us face to face with our own mortality.

Dr. Prentice is a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor. She is also a Board Certified Spiritual Counselor (SC-C) and holds Board Certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Group Therapy, Integrated Marriage and Family Therapy, and Crisis and Abuse Therapy.

Returning for the first time in nearly thirty years, The Power Deck, the classic oracular desktop card deck, is being released once again to the delight of today's special guest Lynn V. Andrews'fans. Featuring forty-five beautifully illustrated cards and its accompanying book of affirmations and meditations, The Power Deck represents the wisdom of the Universe as it has been revealed through the Sisterhood of the Shields, a private and anonymous gathering of high-degree shaman women from native cultures around the world.

Lynn says, "The Power Deck helps you find the primal source of your pain, or limitation, so that it can be healed. When you look at it, you will stop for a moment to move into that silent place within you, that place where truth is born. Each card promotes beauty, health, strength, and wisdom in you life." She goes on to say that "we are as in need of a relationsip with the universe, with each other, and with the spirit as we always have been. The Power Deck opens this connection, inspiring and creating an awareness of the shared sacred beauty within all that exists.

Author Lynn V. Andrews has studied with shamanic women on four continents for more than 30 years. She shares her ancient teachings in her more than 20 books. Her most recent work, The Sacred Vision Oracle Deck is a bold oracular system, helping the user to define their presence in the world and, in combination with The Power Deck, creates a bridge between the sacred and everyday life.

Are you doing what you love, yet worried about money? Do you feel torn between following your heart and making a living?

Like many of us, today's guest, author Jennifer Noel Taylor was spiritual and broke, until she had a shocking “Aha!” moment in the back of a police car.Her tragedy was a cataclysmic lesson that completely changed her perspective on the "law of attraction".

Her book, Spiritual and Broke, is a practical guide for entrepreneurs, writers, artists, healers, and anyone who wants to follow their heart - without feeling like a martyr for the cause. This book shows you how to create genuine prosperity, while honoring your true calling in life.

Jennifer Noel Taylor is an energy healing practitioner, self-help motivator, and the CEO of Quantum-Touch, Inc. She has dedicated her life work to helping people discover the healing power of their love.

Jennifer graduated from Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo, CA) with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science and a Minor in Philosophy. After graduation, she started her first job as a Software Engineer at a big company in San Diego. Like so many people, she felt incredibly trapped and depressed at a job that paid the bills but didn’t align with her true passion in life. She innately knew that she had a purpose and felt keenly aware that she was not following her true calling in life.

To cope with the social isolation and depression she felt at work, she studied bodywork and alternative healing. She attended the International Professional School of Bodywork, Esalen Institute in Big Sur, and the Maui Academy of Healing Arts. While working on people, she started to feel the “energy fields” emanating from people. She became fascinated by energy healing and studied various energy healing modalities, including Reiki.

When we lose someone, everything changes. The experience is a milestone that can bring everything to a standstill for a time. To move forward, we need the tools that help guide us ahead and lend support through our ups and downs. 

The only guarantee in life is that it doesn’t go on forever. For those left behind after a loved one dies, the loss can be overwhelming. But the process of recovering is often misunderstood and misrepresented. We never “get over it” — and we shouldn’t.

Whether or not we can free ourselves from the weight of grief or even just muster the energy to take care of things often depends on our capacity to find the resources we need — both internal and external — to help us cope, develop resilience, grow, and even thrive. Today's specail guest, sychologist, grief expert and widow Sherry Cormier explains why no one should expect a grieving person to “get over it and move on.” She offers the 8 most effective tools for healing — and she knows firsthand that they work.

Formerly on the faculty at the University of Tennessee and West Virginia University, she is the author of Counseling Strategies and Interventions for Professional Helpers, and coauthor of Interviewing and Change Strategies for Helpers.

Plant Songs provides readers with the tools needed to incorporate herbal medicine practices into their wellness routines. Nature heals and communicates if we slow down and listen. “The potential for longevity, health, and happiness increases when there is a connection to the cycles of nature.”
