“Happiness isn’t a destination, it’s a realization that things couldn’t possibly get any better than having the freedom to perceive as you please and to think as you choose, in a magical, adoring Universe.
“The imagination has been called, “The Scissors of The Mind,” and it is ever cutting, cutting, day by day, the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets his own creations in his outer world.” - Florence Scovel Shinn
“Most people consider life a battle --but it is not a battle, it is a game.” “The object of the game of life is to see clearly one’s good and to obliterate all mental pictures of evil,” so wrote New Thought leader Florence Scovel Shinn.. Florence taught that life is a game and in order to play it well, one must learn to understand the universal laws that govern it. She showed her students and readers how to win health, prosperity and happiness by mastering the game.
Even thought our lives did not come with an instruction manual, each one of us is equipped for the Game of Life. Lisa and Michael explore how to thrive in any environment by shifting your perceptions, intentions, and purpose to create a momentum that elevates you. Each one of us has the ability to change our thinking and approach to life by consciously making different choices, ie: choosing love over fear. We can plant new thought seeds into the garden of the subconscious. By consciously choosing high frequency thoughts, we can reprogram our subconscious. In doing so, that positive energy creates a harmonious world for ourselves and helps us succeed in “winning” at the Game of Life.

When I first met Scott Robinson, I was particularly taken by his peaceful humility, which is an integral part of his whole being. And there is a special kind of gentle joyousness when he shares his wealth of knowledge and his insights into our souls journeys. There are different visions each of us holds for our lives but whatever the vision we all share a Universal Connection through our hearts and the frequency of LOVE.
Each of us has felt a sense of oneness at some time in our lives. It is a feeling that connects our heart to the hearts of others. It may be experienced in in a chance encounter, through an act of kindness or compassion, with a group of people or simply in a meditation. There is a special feeling when we are connected to everyone and everything.
If you have the chance to watch or be with a child, you will notice the authenticity, vulnerability, laughter, tears and pure joy that they naturally embrace while being in the moment. As we grow, we become more analytical, relationships become more challenging, we can become distracted by the responsibilities we take on in our lives. For many of us. we start to feel disconnected from the freedom and inspiration we experienced as a child.
Thoughts, emotions and the physical body are all co-creative tools. Buddhists consider the mind to be a sense organ and a gateway to a broader spectrum of perception that includes your internal sensory system. This extrasensory system or internal guidance system has been referred to as the intuitive realm. Did you know you have both a six and a seventh sense that extends into the multi-dimensional world? So how does it work and how can you have greater access to these senses?
When a loved one passes away, we often struggle to find and accept meaning in the event. Each one of us has all felt alone after the passing of a loved one or friend, especially if the passing occurred suddenly. We may wish for one more opportunity to tell that special person we loved them, we may question why they left us or if we could have done something differently to have changed the outcome. Although we may feel alone, each one of us has a connection with the other side that is around us every day. The other side is closer than we think.
This show is a special gift to you from your loved ones on the other side. Lisa LeRose and Michael J. Russ are joined by Joseph Higgins, Amazon bestselling author, medium, spiritual teacher and intuitive counselor. Joe knew from an early age that we are always connected. He shares his insights on that connection. When it comes to searching for signs from loved ones, Joe knows what to look for and shares an intuitive perspective on how to recognize the signs we receive that our departed loved ones are still around us. His books and research affirm that our loved ones are still around us, waiting for us to receive their messages, to communicate back. and to encourage us to to move forward with love and light.
“You are definitely not alone. We hear the prayers that you speak. We hear your questions and doubts. We see the confusion and turmoil that you sometimes experience, We see how you attempt to learn and live and how you are able to understan the circumstances around your life.” – Channeled message from Joe Higgins’ guides.
Joseph Higgins is an Amazon bestselling author, Medium, Spiritual teacher and Intuitive counselor. He has had the ability to communicate with those who have passed on since an early age.

We learn early on that it is better to give than to receive. Scientific research provides compelling data to support the notion that giving one’s time, talents and treasures is a powerful pathway to finding purpose, transcending difficulties, and finding fulfillment and meaning in life. Researchers at the Greater Good Science Center, University of California, Berkeley, have found evidence that human beings have survived as a species because we have evolved the capacities to care for those in need and to cooperate.
Join Lisa LeRose and Michael J. Russ for a soul nurturing exploration of the pleasant sensation or “warm glow” effect we receive from helping others, and how all loving acts of generosity go beyond just they making us feel good to actually changing our physiology. Discover how the Law of Vibrational Giving can bring you more than you ever imagined!
