A Quest for Well-Being

— "I find that most people have no idea who they really are or what they really want. They go through life doing what everybody else has told them to do, living up to others' expectations. Until I had the illness, I never even thought about what I wanted. My life was all about "shoulds"—what my parents, religion, school, government, and everyone else thought I should be and do. Talk about what a friend of mine called "getting should on!"

I never even considered what it was that I wanted . . . until CFS and fibromyalgia left me homeless and sleeping in parks, my dreams shattered. But when I recovered, I realized that not all those things I had been carrying were my dreams. As I improved enough to go back to medical school, I chose to pick up the parts of my own life that felt good to me, that I was passionate about. And I left the rest behind. This created a space for joy and the power to create anything that I chose—including effective treatment for everybody with this illness. The power to be authentically me . . . which, if you think about it, is quite priceless." - Writes Dr. Teitelbaum

— Wanda Pratnicka's book Possessed By Ghosts describes an unacknowledged problem with which the majority of mankind is struggling, namely possession by ghosts. Ghosts are the souls of people who have died but who have not resolved to pass through to the other side of death's curtain. By remaining among the living they are the cause of anxiety, depressions, mood swings, explosive negative emotions, mental illnesses and often also physical illnesses. Pratnicka is a unique healer in that she marries a formal education and philosophy; she earned her PhD in Philosophy, an M.A. in Psychology and a B.A. in Parapsychology; with a natural and innate ability that manifested itself when she was a mere child. She is an author of several books that have been translated into various languages.

— "I know I cannot change the past. I know I will never lose my sadness over the death of my husband and the death of my brother.

— What do you do when you have a giant story to tell, and you're scared to speak it as your own?

Valeria Teles interviews Isabel Chiara — the author of "Eat Your Words."

Coach and Author Isabel Chiara had supported hundreds of clients to actualize their life's greatest potential, to reconsider obstacles as opportunities and how to meet challenging moments with heart. As much as she had dedicated decades to personal growth and development and held master-level certifications from dozen of spiritual schools; she'd kept her lifelong struggle with food well-hidden from her work. Having honed her intuition for decades, nearing her 60th birthday she recognized the greatest gem of wisdom on her journey might not glimmer from a distant mystical star, but would be discovered by stepping more fully into the art of self-nourishment. She knew she had to break her own silence about her struggles in order to connect to her physical body, to deeply explore embodiment. As it is her gift to help others to transform how they see their struggles, she realized she had to support herself similarly in this capacity. The more she spoke to her community about the quandaries of food choice and body relationship, the more universal her personal story became. From this place, she created Giana Giovanni; loosely based on aspects of her own story, but presented in a relatable way so that, true to Isabel's nature, her own healing journey could be offered to others.

Isabel Chiara is the creator of the "Life Actualization Process", and has served as a guide, mentor, and leader for over thirty years. An eternal student and practitioner both of transformational energy modalities, Isabel supports her clients, by helping them to ignite their full passion and align with their most authentic life path, masterfully supporting the liberation of constricting beliefs, definitions, and self-limitations. As a result, her clients are able to access a deeper wisdom and joy within their lives and experience a world of prosperity, miracles, and magic. Isabel spends her time exploring her backyards in Connecticut and New York City in addition to connecting to her deep roots in Italy. She can often be found traveling the globe, whether leading a retreat or on a personal pilgrimage. When at home, Isabel is busy with her career as the owner of multiple businesses.

— Life is a precious, priceless gift. As incredible as this miracle is, it is also delicate and fragile. We are vulnerable regardless of how much money is in our bank account, the amount on the price tag of the jewelry we wear, the model of car we drive, or the size of the house we live in. We can lose it all – and more – in the blink of an eye. That is why we should enjoy life to the fullest every day. Our purpose is to discover the niche created especially for us, to sharpen our skills and abilities, and fulfill our purpose.

Valeria Teles interviews Fu-Ding Cheng — the author of "Map of Desire: Blueprint for Self-Fulfillment."

Fu-Ding Cheng––visionary filmmaker and shamanic artist––began his career as a practicing architect, but has since focused his attention on books, spirituality, and filmmaking. In 1990, he founded Liquid Light Productions devoted to help change the "dream of the planet" through shamanic workshops, art, books and media.

His multi-faceted career includes a prize-winning series of films, Zen-Tales for the Urban Explorer presented as a special retrospective at the Hammer Museum, music videos (Starship's We Built This City on Rock and Roll, nominated "Best Video of the Year"), illustrated album covers (Heart's Dog and Butterfly), and wrote and illustrated a children's book, Dream-House. While teaching film directing at the North Carolina School of the Arts, he created a groundbreaking new curriculum, "Shamanic Tools for the Filmmaker."

However, first priority over all vocational activities has been his life-long devotion to spiritual awakening. Since break-through life-changing experiences in 1995 as apprentice to Toltec shaman Don Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements), Fu-Ding has been impassioned to help spread the deepest wisdom to the widest number of people. For the last twenty years, he has been leading spiritual/shamanic workshops distilled from his life-long quest involving Eastern meditation in the Himalayas, Chinese Kung-Fu, spiritual psychology, and Meso-American wisdom traditions. Based in Venice, California, he is now launching his latest book, Map of Desire, a Blueprint for Self-fulfillment.

— We all have challenges from which to learn and grow. We all experience painful endings so that new beginnings can occur. We all overcome fears so we can become masters of our own destiny and we all heal, release, and surrender to make room for the new to enter. This is the process which enables us to align and lead. We must become individuals fully aware of our interconnectedness, potential, and power.
