Authentic Living

Years ago, we heard about something which has now come to be known as the law of attraction—which seemed to be the answer to all of our questions and prayers about how to live an abundant life. Many set right out to attract large sums of money. And a few years later, we all found ourselves in a financial crisis that took the jobs of many, and reduced the income and increased the expenses of many others. While there can be no correlation made between these two events, there are the many, who have spent years practicing the tenets of the law of attraction, and who are now left wondering what the heck is going on. This show will offer you some answers about money, about abundance and about the law of attraction. If you are worried about money—you are not going to want to miss this show.

As we've tried to implement the law of attraction and attract and manifest all of our dreams, we've run into some road blocks that have forced us to question ourselves. Many are advising that we look to the shadow—or the unconscious—to tell us how we are sabotaging ourselves. But the shadow holds far more within it than the darkness about which we typically hear. In fact, for most of us, the shadow also holds within it, the deepest essence of our truest nature. It is this nature toward which the law of attraction is actually driving us. Tune into this show to learn how the law of attraction really works in your life.

We all remember Dee Wallace, playing the mother role, in that wonderfully moving and uplifting movie, ET. Well, she's had an amazing career as actress, playing in other movies, including Cujo, The Howling, Ten, The Frighteners and Critters, staring in four TV series and over 400 commercials. She's one of Hollywood's most sought after TV guest stars. And from there, she became a healer and spiritual leader. How did that happen? Her latest book, Bright Light, tells us all about that unorthodox path from actor to spiritual leader while inspiring us all to passionately follow our own heart and creative wisdom to wherever the bright light of the inner self takes us. Through her acting endeavors and the coaching she received she was able to tap into that intuitive river that some call the zone, and simultaneously let go of emotions and issues from her own past to connect with her inner light. This show will be all about how you can do that too.

We are so excited this week to have Marianne Williamson on the Authentic Living Show to talk to us about her latest NY Times Bestseller, A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever. Most of us already know several of Marianne's other books, including The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman's Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America and The Gift of Change, for as Time Magazine puts it, Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity. We also know that thousands of books have been published on weight loss. But none of these books can offer the permanent plan offered in A Course in Weight Loss. Nor do they offer the powerful lessons in transformational surrender that this book clarifies so well. This could be a life-changing discussion today—don't let yourself miss it!

Are you feeling emotionally and physically exhausted and cynical? Burnout looks a lot like depression, but it's not a biological bogeyman that medication or simple stress management can cure. It's a disorder of hope and will that sucks the life out of competent, idealistic, hardworking people like you; and it will be an ongoing challenge for you to take your power back! Dr. Joan Borysenko is here for the fourth time and this time to talk about her latest book, "Fried: Why You Burn Out and How to Revive." Her view of burn out is a timely and groundbreaking work that straddles psychology, biology and soul. Of course, we know from previous episodes with Joan, that she offers a very warm and personal approach to whatever she does and this book and this discussion will be no exception, as she believes it is her life's purpose to weave together psychology, biology and spirituality in a credible and accessible way.

Peter Tongue is with us this week to talk about the connection between the stars, the earth, and the evolution of human consciousness. He tells us that the information known to medieval alchemists was so sacred and profound that they wrapped it up in allegorical clever word plays. As we move through the month of June, and it's the astrological sign Gemini, ruled by Mercury and Hermes, the gods of clever and hidden communication—Tongue will reveal some of the coded information known only to the ancient alchemists. These revelations will tell us about the connection between Alchemy, the Stars, our beautiful landscape of Earth and US—the human beings evolving on the planet. To live a fully authentic life, it is necessary to uncover our true passion and purpose for being here and this show will reveal to us powerful tools to assist us in the awakening process.

Did I just hear that "Dun-Dun" that goes off whenever "Law and Order" comes on? We do get the two mixed up quite a bit—Karma and Law and Order. What's been passed down to us is a definition of Karma that means that what goes around comes around. So, we can always say to that—expletives deleted—ex-husband or wife, "Yeah, well what goes around comes around!" believing with all of our hearts that they are going to get theirs. Right? And we can say to those selfish, close-minded whatever, whatever politicians that they are going to get theirs too. Then we can wash our hands of the whole affair and assume that in this lifetime or the next, or the next—justice will eventually be done. Dun-Dun! Law and Order. But what if Karma isn't what goes around comes around? What if it doesn't fall in that dualistic framework at all? What if the Law of Karma, gives us something much higher, much more powerful and soul-enhancing than Law and Order? Tune in to find out more.
