Cynthia Lane is a masterful spiritual mentor and teacher. Her path includes 28 years in the Vedic tradition as a TM (Transcendental Meditation) teacher and 15 years of study and practice in the Native American tradition, especially Lakota. She also studied for many years with Bill Bauman, a PhD. psychologist and fully enlightened mystic. Finally, in France in 2014, Cynthia began a profound journey and connection with Mary Magdalene. This richly fulfilling connection has given rise to what Cynthia calls the path of Grace. It is path of allowing, rather than doing; a path of surrender to the power of Divine Light and Divine Love to be the major propeller of our healing and evolution. Cynthia now combines her experience and training with her vast joy, love and expansiveness, which she shares as the work she calls FirstLight Transformations. This work is dedicated to bringing all of us home to our Infiniteness—and taking our bodies with us on the journey. Every facet of our exquisite human expression of the Infinite can come to self-recognize as Divine, so that we live in the total freedom and profound happiness that is an innate part of the human package.

Recovery Recharged with Ellen Stewart: Pushy Broad From The Bronx®: White Flag with Judy Mandel.

New York Times Bestselling author Judy L. Mandel talks about her new memoir, White Flag in which she seeks to understand the nature of addiction while she struggles to save her beloved niece; to fulfill the deathbed promise she made to her sister. Judy L. Mandel is a former reporter and marketing executive. After the death of her parents, she knew that it was time to write the story of her family; their emotional and physical survival of a devastating plane crash that killed an older sister and left a remaining sister critically burned and close to death. Her New York Times Bestseller, REPLACEMENT CHILD, is the story that her parents and sister had unknowingly prepared her to write, through letters and news clips, pointing her to clues of their inner lives. Replacement Child was the #1 Memoir in Amazon, won an IPPY award, a Writer’s Digest Award, and was named Book-of-the-Month by the Jewish Book Club. Her new book, WHITE FLAG, is related to her first book as she becomes aware of the tentacles of transgenerational trauma stemming from the family tragedy—the plane crash in 1952. WHITE FLAG is an investigative memoir centered on her niece’s struggle with an addiction to opiates.
