A Quest for Well-Being

— "Open your heart to the truth of Divine Love. You are loved, right here, right now. Breathe in that truth and smile.

Your awareness will expand as you consider how the Money Tree stays grounded. You have a voice inside that can guide, teach, and create with you, if you would only listen. Step into your own powers to create wealth, dancing with Divine Love as your partner." - Kathryn

Valeria interviews Kathryn Eriksen — She is the author of "The Money Tree: Transform Scarcity Thinking to Empowered Wealth Consciousness."

As an attorney, Mindfulness Teacher, and Empowered Wealth Expert, Kathryn discovered a simple truth: whenever she listened to the messages from her mind, she always made different choices than when she listened to the music of her heart. Mind messages lead you down a path of believing in lack, limitation, and fear. Heart music opens up your world, where you are a powerful creator and explorer of all things good.

That's why Kathryn created Empowered Way Coaching. She helps women entrepreneurs who have lost sight of their authentic selves - in their business and in their money relationship. One-on-One coaching programs focus on the Feminine Side of Money and identifying Sacred Money Archetypes. As women connect to that essential realization that they are worthy, loved and divinely held, they step into their power to transform.

— "The great teacher of the Now, Eckhart Tolle, expresses it beautifully, "Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment." What if we stopped judging what presents itself in our lives, and paid greater attention to the reason it was there? What if we took full responsibly for it and no longer felt like a victim of circumstance? How would your life journey change course and lead you in the direction of your awakened self? These are the questions you should ask yourself, especially when your journey has you lost in a forest of debris. The guidance you seek is just a small step in the direction of you. It almost sounds too simple to be true. Yet, you are the "gold" you have been seeking after." — The Now-Ist

Valeria interviews Billy Mandarino — He is the author of "The Now-Ist: Finding the Signs to Your Ultimate Desires in No Time."

— In her groundbreaking book, Ganja Yoga — Dee Dussault, a yoga instructor, brings cannabis-enhanced yoga to North America for the first time.

It has been millennia since yogis have used cannabis to enhance their spiritual practices. Cannabis' potential role for modern seekers pursuing a spiritual path is generating quiet but growing discussion within the Western yoga community. Taking this ancient practice mainstream, Dee Dussault is a certified yoga instructor. Rather than combining cannabis with exercise, Ganja Yoga is a ceremony that makes conscious relaxation an intentional ritual you can develop with practice - a way to live more harmoniously and stress-free.

The use of marijuana during yoga practice can enhance awareness, acceptance, connectivity, and relaxation for some practitioners. The stigma surrounding marijuana dissipates as state laws loosen and marijuana is increasingly viewed as a legitimate supplement for increased wellbeing and health. Her book, Ganja Yoga explains how to set up a sacred space that will enable you to stretch and meditate while using this relaxing substance.

It's the exploration of how cannabis can be incorporated into yoga and smoking practices, and what considerations you need to make when introducing cannabis into your practice. Dee says: "It's more like adding spice to your food than getting stoned out of your mind."

Valeria interviews Dee Dussault — She is the author of "Ganja Yoga: A Practical Guide to Conscious Relaxation, Soothing Pain Relief, and Enlightened Self-Discovery."

Dee Dussault is the best-selling author of Ganja Yoga and internationally-recognized pioneer of the cannabis-wellness movement. Thirteen years ago, Dee became the first person to offer public enhanced-yoga classes, and four years ago she authored the HarperCollins book with the same title, gaining her features in publications like The New York Times, Business Insider, and The Wall Street Journal.

Ganja Yoga has been taught to thousands of students in over twenty US cities, and hundreds of people from around the world have taken the Ganja Yoga Teacher Training. It's been at MAPS' 'Psychedelic Science Conference,' and at SF State University, Emerald Cup, and The Plant Spirit Medicine Conference.

To make things even more fun, Dee is also a sensuality coach, trained in tantra yoga, with a private partner yoga and intimacy practice in Berkeley, California.

— "When you experience life with people at the survival level, it opens your horizons and touches your heart, not just to be grateful for your own privileged life, but sparks wonder about the bigger picture. I was inspired to dig more deeply and began to attend Bible studies. I looked at people I was meeting everyday with different eyes and began questioning the meaning of their lives and how they wound up where they were and if their lives could have been different. Were they like the old me? Had they missed that inner voice, and not followed their hearts? Were there too traumatised by their childhoods, or pre-programmed to pursue the path they chose. Were they too stuck in their past to believe in a different future? What about people who are born mentally or physically handicapped? Is there more to life than we can see? ~~~ Vony

— What is love? To give, and never to ask.

What leads to this love? Grace.

What leads to this grace? Grace is not cheaply bought. It is gained by being always ready to serve, and reluctant to be served. There are many points which lead to this grace:

Wishing well for others at the cost of one's self.

Never backbiting.

Tolerance supreme.

Trying not to worry. Trying not to worry is almost impossible - so try.

Thinking more of the good points in others, and less of their bad points.

What leads to this grace?

Doing all the above. If you do one of these things perfectly, the rest must follow. Then grace descends. Have love - and when you have love, the union with the beloved is certain. ~~~ Meher Baba

Valeria interviews Maria O'hia — She believes in trust and faith.

She trusts that everything happens for a reason and her faith is that all is well and always will be.

It was in college when she adopted this mindset that her life took the direction that led her to where she is now. Away from med school, family, security and safety. At a young age she accepted an arranged marriage, becoming a stepmom to a 12 year old autistic boy.

It was only after her first son was born that her life took form and became stable. Maria was fortunate to work with a psychic who told her that she could see in her visions, standing right behind Maria, a long line of people, of tribes, who were hurting and in pain. Maria comes from the Zoroastrian faith, one of the oldest religions in the world. Zoroastrians were discriminated against even to this day. But the history of torture and murder goes back thousands of years. Forced to either revert to the Muslim faith or be slaughtered if reluctant, the Zoroastrians were executed for their simple belief system of good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. Maria had unknowingly been carrying this ancestral trauma all her life. This and her life circumstances led her on the path of healing. She delved into the world of yoga, shamanism, flower essences, reiki, Louise Hay, Ho'oponopono, and Meher Baba.

Maria was coined 'Mother Love' by a saintly hero of India, carrying with him an unending love from beyond, which sparked Maria's inner journey. Maria feels certain, there is a higher purpose to her calling, and every climb, and every peak has been a wonderful awakening. She envisions love that can be seen and then spread throughout the world. Love for oneself. Love for family. Love for all that is divine.

— The simplicity of silence within natural surroundings quiets the mind while intuitive, and spiritual energy is refined.

Valeria interviews Kent Tompkins — He is the author of "Finding the Balance...The Vision Story that led to A retrospective of images and stories from 1977-2022."

As a kid, Kent hung out extensively in nature in rural western Colorado. His family was consistently supportive of one another, encouraging adventure, diversity and the development of their own unique perceptions and self-sufficiency. He was also gifted with athleticism that paid his way through college. Currently cycling, ecstatic dance, yoga, core work, nutrition and integrative healing friends comprise his wellness lifestyle.

Kent grew up around photographers and healers and continues hunting down images, video footage and wisdom related to what creates a self-healing body and mind and related ponderings. Ansel Adams and other master photographers have poured knowledge and wisdom into him over the years as he continues his documentary photo work.

After finding his way to the Dine' (aka: Navajo) reservation in 1978, he stayed there until 1991. While there, he photographed sacred sites/ceremonies by invitation, was learning and collaborating with elders, artists, healers and putting cameras in indigenous kids' hands. This collaboration continues today through workshop facilitation and documentary work.

His rural roots and experiences within nature aligned with their teachings. His knowledge of physics (the various dimensions and teaching navigation and ways of healing through them), integrative healing, art, and the importance of connecting with one's deep sense of self, continues dove-tailing with his integrative therapy knowledge and expertise in an integrative therapy and wilderness-based practice. Kent works with individuals, couples and families. He loves putting cameras in kids' hands to better understand their world view as revealed up and down alleys and around a campfire.

The simplicity of silence within natural surroundings quiets his mind while his intuitive, and spiritual energy are topics for workshops and mentoring of healers whose "superpowers" are woven into their budding wisdom.

As a seasoned board licensed psychotherapist, he's maintained a private practice over the last 30 years in Colorado and New Mexico.

Kent currently resides in Paonia, CO, with his Kiwi adventure-based partner Jaya.
