A Fine Time for Healing

After two decades in the study and practice of medicine, today's special guest Sarah Seidelmann took a three-month sabbatical to search for a way to FEEL GOOD again. Having witnessed human suffering early in her career, and within her own family, she longed for a way to address more than just the physical needs of her patients and to live in a lighter, more conscious way.

Her new book, Swimming with Elephants, tells the eccentric, sometimes poignant, and occasionally hilarious experience of a working mother and wife undergoing a bewildering vocational shift from physician to shamanic healer. During that tumultuous period of answering her call, she met an elephant who would become an important companion on her journey, had bones thrown for her by a shaman in South Africa, danced with sacred stones, and traveled to India for an ancient Hindu pilgrimage, where she received the blessing she had been longing for. She discovers an entirely different kind of healing, one that enables her to help those who are suffering in the way she had always aspired to.

Sarah was a board certified Physician specializing in Surgical Pathology at a tertiary care Multispecialty group  in the Midwest. While she thoroughly enjoyed her wonderful practice and partners, after 13 years, she felt a strong pull to do transformative work and to be creative again. By that time, she had four children and her life had become “complicated”. 

She took a 6 month sabbatical from being a doctor and found herself wandering deep into the woods. Sarah was re-awakening her own deep connection to Nature and to herself. At the end of 6 months, she determined that her path was to continue on in the field of personal transformation. Sarah completed Martha Beck’s Coach Training and got certified by Martha herself, who is s a former Harvard Professor and writes the Life Coach Monthly piece for Oprah’s O magazine.

A new study published in the British Medical Journal associated arthritis medications also known as NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen, and Celebrex), with a 35 percent increased risk of heart attacks. The effect begins within one week of starting the medication and persists for as long as it’s taken. Approximately 30,000 – 50,000 people die from NSAID usage in the U.S. each year. 

Today, everyone knows somebody suffering from serious pain. The dirty secret is that many of these people have had heart attacks caused by the very pain medications they thought were helping them.With heart attacks being the number one cause of death in the U.S., and arthritis meds being some of the most frequently prescribed, the new study is  one of the most important health breakthroughs of the year.

He is the author of the best-selling From Fatigued to Fantastic!, Pain Free, 1,2,3!, the Complete Guide to Beating Sugar Addiction, Real Cause Real Cure, The Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Solution, and the popular free Smart Phone app Cures A-Z.

Are you ready for a radical shift in perception-one that may challenge and profoundly alter your idea of who you are and what your purpose is on this planet?

A compelling new book presents information, stories, and simple, yet life-changing practices designed to assist you in doing the work you came to earth to do: Waking up into the Awareness that you are the Presence of Love, and living your unique life of meaning, purpose and fulfillment from within that Awakened state.

Remembering the Light Within comes forth from today's special guests Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick, Founding Faculty and Co-Directors of the University of Santa Monica, the Worldwide Center for the Study and Practice of Spiritual Psychology. Their book affirms that we all suffer from greater or lesser degrees of "Spiritual amnesia."  We've forgotten who we are and why we're here.  The process of Remembering is an active process through which step-by-step you remove or dissolve the barriers within your consciousness that are all that prevent you from knowing your Soul's nature-from experientially knowing that you are a Divine Being having a human experience.  Can you imagine walking through this world in a consciousness that is Awake to Love?  Wouldn't that be Amazing Grace?

Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick are pioneers and worldwide leaders in the field of Spiritual Psychology, as well as teachers and facilitators of Awakening in Consciousness. They are renowned educators, authors, and the Founding Faculty and Co-Directors of the University of Santa Monica (USM), where they have designed, developed, and facilitated educational programs for the past 35 years. Both are licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and Mary is a licensed Clinical Psychologist. They are also the authors of Loyalty to Your Soul: The Heart of Spiritual Psychology.

Consider what it would be like trying to have a productive conversation with an angry inmate serving a life sentence at a maximum-security prison. Life-threatening at worst; unpleasant at best. But today's special guest Douglas E. Noll has been in exactly that situation, as well as many more high-tension confrontations, and has deduced precisely how to bring that conversation back in line respectfully and productively in under two minutes. If he can do it with prison inmates, imagine how well this might work with upset spouses, unresponsive teenagers, unhappy clients, or even road-raging drivers? 

In Noll's book, De-Escalate: How to Calm an Angry Person in 90 Seconds or Less, he shares how to defuse conflicts quickly by focusing on the emotions of the angry person rather than the words being said (or screamed). In this way, habitual responses of anger and frustration are circumvented and cooler heads will likely prevail.

Noll, who holds both a JD and an MA, left a successful career as a lawyer to become a peacemaker. He is an award-winning author, teacher, trainer, highly experienced mediator, and co-founder of the Prison of Peace project. This has been the most profound peace training Douglas has conducted thus far in his career. Inmates who have gone through his program have learned and applied deep, empathic listening skills, leadership skills, and problem-solving skills to reduce violence in their prison communities.

Perfectionism can be a blessing or a curse. When it helps us, it lifts our mood, and we can achieve significant accomplishments. But perpetually seeking an illusion can have serious consequences. It can become a painful, inescapable trap. Its self-sabotaging side effects undermine our goals and creativity and spill over onto our co-workers and loved ones, damaging our relationships. At worse, it can be dehumanizing and compromise our ability to feel love and experience joy.

Fortunately, it’s possible to beat perfectionism! In today's special guest, Darlene Lancer's book, I'm Not Perfect I'm Only Human she discusses different types of perfectionists, from positive perfectionists to negative, common myths they hold, and how relationships are affected. Other disorders are distinguished. Psychological, genetic, and environmental causes of perfectionism are explained with examples of typical symptoms, thoughts, and behaviors. Ten chapters provide steps and exercises to create change and find self-acceptance.

Wonder and Beauty: My Journey from Heartbreak to Healing through the Wonder of Horses is a story about a mother’s choice to quit fighting in the courtroom after years of custody battles resulting in parental alienation and the eventual abduction of her only child. Miller made the choice to save herself and her child by leaving and going back to the birthplace of her son in San Francisco, California. She begins to rebuild her life in the midst of the global financial crash of 2008 after seeing her real estate business collapse, her home foreclosed upon and her life savings vanish in the midst of the hundreds of court cases that took place between her and her ex-husband.

While writing her book the author continued to move forward with the hope that one day she would reunite with her son. One morning in the early hours a dream about reunification with her son came to her and she turned it into a chapter of the book. Her time with horses introduced her to the language of the heart and how once linked in love this bond can never be dissolved. The author and her fiancé moved to a property in Idaho to begin their life together with the dream that includes horses and all of their children.

Charla Miller is the founder of BeautyHealsYou.com — a website and blog that integrates emotional and physical beauty. As a makeup and hair artist she shows women how to take care of their skin and shows them how to bring out their full beauty through the use of simple makeup and hair techniques. Her website introduces different types of healing practices, skin care and makeup tips and inspiring events. When she isn’t busy in her artistry and writing endeavors she takes every opportunity to immerse herself in the healing power of horses. Her intention is to turn her passion for the healing nature of horses into workshops and private sessions and to share these profound healing experiences with others.
