A Quest for Well-Being

— Our true nature is simple and beautiful, thoughts are complicated and intricate. Learn to know the difference. Our true nature is always present, in each moment, as it is now. We didn't create it and we can't stop it. Yet we've been taught that what we can't perceive with our mind and senses is not real, that intuition is unreliable and living like this is dangerous, immature and irresponsible. The truth is contrary to this. Our thoughts and understandings are by their very nature temporary and fragile. They come from the assumption that we can actually know or control things. And so we defend, attack, withdraw, and even kill or die for these beliefs. But when we do, the essence of our true spirit is brutally pushed aside and we lose so much of life.

Valeria Teles interviews Ruth Bar Shalev — the author of " What Really Is: How Would Life Look If We Knew That We Are Not Our Thoughts?"

RuthBarShalev is a student/disciple, coach and coaching teacher, leader of innovative projects whose time has come, writer, creator, mother of four and grandmother of three, almost 60 years old.

Ruth has been coaching for the past 30 years and is one of the pioneers of coaching in Israel. She has led and facilitated breakthrough processes in many different fields,

working with the military, women's organizations, the Israeli Ministry of Education, and on inter Arab – Jewish relations, both in Israel and abroad. Ruth has coached thousands of people, hundreds of businesses, startups and state institutions, and trained dozens of coaches. For the past 18 years she has developed a way of coaching and named it: The Art of What Really Is.

For the past three years she has been writing, and has published the book "WHAT REALLY IS" alongside a rich website whose vision

and beauty emerged from a life journey, a journey that seeks truth in her personal life, in the life of her loved ones and of the people she had and has the privilege to coach.

The knowledge which is at the core of all of Ruth's work, wishes to enable a person to remember the wisdom with which we are born, the wisdom of the soul, and to live it in each and every moment and situation. The book, the website and especially the coaching of The Art of What Really Is, teaches a person to distinguish between his or her true nature, and his or her thoughts and the reality their thoughts present to them.

True knowledge is motion, a new vision being revealed and not fixed ideas and conclusions. Therefore it requires a high level of devotion, of giving oneself over, so that the motion, the art of life, can reveal itself.

— Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you had the body of your dreams without stressing over it? To be healthy and at your ideal body weight? Not having to suffer through exercise you don't like or being on the diet that you can't wait to end?

The human body is absolutely amazing. It can self-heal almost any sickness and stay at a happy body weight. It can even tell you how to get there.

Your body has been programmed for millions of years. Now you need to connect with it to become aware of what it needs. Communicating is an easy process. Get to know and crave food that is best for your body, which exercise or diet is ideal, and joyful for you, and how to stay healthy during times when you don't have a chance to be your body's best buddy. The weight-loss and drug industries are some of the highest profitable businesses in the world for one main reason. Their solutions rarely work for the problems. People who don't find help come back to try another diet next year, another miracle pill, or hope to stick with a new kind of exercise program. There is a small chance that they will succeed. These industries are well aware of it. Just as you cannot control your breathing or your digestion, you cannot boss your body around. The only way to win is to become friends with your body. You have to care enough to gain your body's trust in order for it to work with you.

— People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. … I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive — said Joseph Campbell.

Young people want parents to listen more, be more fun and relaxed, be more respectful, and to be less judgmental and more honest. Active listening means we repeat what we think we understood even if we don't agree, including feelings, so the other person can check for accuracy. We don't assume we know what the other person is feeling. Good communication aims to understand underlying needs and motivations, which may not be conscious. We pay attention to learning about different temperaments and personality types, which helps us be understanding and therefore more patient.

— Every moment of being alive is truly a miracle: An opportunity to open and receive the blessing of discovering the most intimate relationship we will ever have. Once we are here and have sufficiently landed our spirit down into the holy flesh and bones of our human experience, real life begins. The life of this present moment is then not only here to be experienced: we also get to participate, contribute and respond with more and more agency. We get to discover how to wield the gentle art of stewarding a genuine life. We are not just here to merely survive the awakening process; we also inherited a deeper potential from the wisdom miracle of our origins and that is to thrive. Being of service and benefiting the whole that we now recognize we are intrinsically one with becomes the primary motive. The kiss that we have always wanted becomes the kiss that we are now able to give. Not the overriding, spiritual bypass, 'make nicety nice, hide & seek, appease and kiss ass kiss' – but the kiss of integrity that lands and reverberates as a benediction, a prayer and confirmation of the real. No matter what fates we have been given; inherent in our birth is the opportunity of a lifetime, to receive, allow and evolve the mystery of being human by being Love itself.

— JOY! It's your choice. Every day! Does life leave you feeling hopeless and joyless? Are your intentions out of alignment with your actions? What choices do you make in life to Discover Your Joy? Do you know you can live in joy every day of your life—but—it is a choice! Joy is our natural default emotion. We came into this world as a joyful being and we are here on Planet Earth to bask in that joy and to expand our joy outward into the Universe.

Valeria Teles interviews Louise Pistole — the author of " Discover Your Joy: Daily Splashes of Inspiration for Living an Abundant Life of Happiness, Blessings, and Inner Peace"

Louise is a JOY-fanatic! She brings her Southern charm and joyful inspiration as she encourages others to discover their own joy no matter where they are on their journey.

As Louise navigated her own difficult valleys in life, she emerged with a strong message of joy to share with other women. Her inspiration comes alive with real-life stories of hope, love, and faith. JOY really is her superpower!

After a career of over 30 years in the financial industry, Louise made a decision to leave the business world and pursue her passion of writing. Her book, Discover Your Joy, was published in 2021.

With her writing, coaching, and speaking, Louise offers encouragement and inspiration to women worldwide. Using both practical wisdom and Biblical truths, she guides others to seek what they are missing in life and to become the best version of themselves.

Louise spends many hours in her flower gardens. Here she finds the tranquil peace and serenity to fill her soul. Among all the plants and paths, there are numerous seating areas to give her places to ponder and write. It's no surprise that she uses flower images throughout her writing and on her website.

After 45 years apart, she recently reconnected with her high-school sweetheart. They married on the beach and found their joy in a vacation home at the coast. Their love story was printed in the April 2019 issue of Sasee Magazine.

— Domestic violence is not a new issue in the military, nor is it a small issue. According to a December 2019 report to Congress titled, "Military Families and Intimate Partner Violence: Background and Issues for Congress," there were 16,912 reported incidents in Fiscal Year 2018, and "there has been little change in the rate or number of reported incidents … since FY2009." In fact, there has been little change in more than twenty years, as there were more than 18,000 reports annually as far back as 2001. And these are just the reported incidents. The Bureau of Justice Statistics found that law enforcement is notified in only half of domestic violence incidents. Lara's experience reveals the human side of these statistics, which affect not just those on military bases, but in households all over the world.

Lara M. Sabanosh reveals her emotional decades-long story of fear, deceit, and abuse that ends with the disappearance and death of her husband. Lara provides a unique perspective of being trapped in the same failed domestic abuse system that she worked for, and is sharing her experience in hopes to bring about change in the system and mindset of the abused—they are not alone.

Valeria Teles interviews Lara M. Sabanosh — the author of "Caged: The True Story of Abuse, Betrayal, and GTMO"

Lara Sabanosh grew up in various parts of the country and for a time, lived overseas in Guantanamo Bay (GTMO), where she was an education service facilitator at the Fleet and Family Support Center and became acting director in December 2013. She spent much of her adult life as a wife, mother and student, eventually completing two doctoral degrees. Six years in the making, her new book, Caged, is an honest and introspective memoir detailing the never-before-told other side of an international, headline story, taking readers through the first twenty years of her tumultuous marriage to Christopher Tur, to events as she lived them on the night he went missing and the aftermath. Sabanosh is currently retired from government service, residing quietly in Pensacola, Florida, surrounded by her loving family, dogs, and grand puppies.
