My guest today is Audrey Valeriani, finalist in the National Best Book 2008 awards in the USA for her latest book “Boot Camp for the Broken-Hearted” and creator of the fabulous self-esteem dolls who live in your pocket to remind you of how you should treat yourself. We’ll be discussing her book and her work as a relationship coach and discussing some of her research for the book, which was based on hundreds of surveys and questionnaires and interviews with men and women about what they want from their intimate relationships and how to mend a broken heart so that it stays mended! You can find out more about Audrey and her work at www.theaccidentalexpert.com.

My guest today is none other than Arielle Ford, sister of Debbie, and one of the founding partners of the Spiritual Cinema Circle. As a PR expert she helped launch the careers of Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield and Neale Donald Walsch and has handled the publicity for many other leading authors in the field of human potential. She wrote her latest book “The Soulmate Secret” when she decided to apply the tools she learned to launch her successful business to finding the love of her life. We’ll be talking about this book, which is full of funny and encouraging stories and really useful exercises to do to prepare for that special someone. But even if you’ve already found him or her, why not listen in for some tips about how to keep your intimate relationship really satisfying and sustaining.

We’ll also be talking about the Spiritual Cinema Circle – a service dedicated to bringing you films of hope, encouragement and inspiration. Many of these films are film festival award winners yet never reach the big screen because the powers that be most probably feel that the market is too small to create profits. Find out more about Arielle’s new book at www.soulmatesecret.com and more about The Spiritual Cinema Circle at www.thespiritualcinemacircle.com.

My guest today is Michael Brill who, apart from his 31 years’ education and training experience, has 24 years as a numerologist. In this time he has developed a theory that combines numerology, quantum physics, psychology, reincarnation and gematria. In “Numerology for Healing, your personal numbers as the key to a healthier life”, Michael uses this system to empower you to heal emotional and physical problems, which have as their base, abandonment issues, that ultimately become exhausting physically, emotionally and mentally. Detailing more than 200 physical and mental health problems, Michael can show you what the root problem is, so that you can consciously release it. Michael is also the author of “Know your Numbers, Know Your Self” and you can find out more about him at his incredibly informative website www.awakener.com.

My guest today is David Gruder PhD, co-founder of the Association for Comprehensive Energy psychology. David is a clinical psychologist who has trained ambassadors in the World Trade Organisation, and award winning self-improvement author, whose most recent book is “The New IQ, how integrity intelligence serves you, your relationships and our world”. From the moment I opened this book it held me in its grip. It is crammed full of highly revealing exercises and I did them all I’ve even gone on to work my way through David’s 200+ page workbook. How’s that for punishment! In reality, this book couldn’t be further from the concept of punishment. It’s a dynamic road-tested primer to restoring integrity to our board rooms and living rooms, for the sake of our loved ones, our communities, our work, our society and ourselves.

Today’s guest is passionate pragmatist and author of many books on gothic architecture and sculpture, John James PhD. Architect by training, famer by profession and therapist and energy worker for more than 20 years by passion. John’s most recent book is “The Great Field, soul at play in a conscious universe”, which he wrote as his PhD in order to gain state approval to run a University course in Australia. In it he brings together scientific, spiritual and therapeutic data to highlight how important it is to honour our shadow side: how we should stop thinking of ourselves as lacking something in some way and accept, as the Balinese do so beautifully, that we need both our light and shadow aspects, and just go with the flow. He posits that the more we search and struggle, the more we block ourselves off from what we are striving so hard to attain. For more information about John go to www.thegreatfield.com

A huge welcome back to Karmic astrologer, Marguerite Manning: author of “Cosmic Karma, understanding your contract with the Universe”. Mercury, being the closest planet to the sun, completes its speedy circuit in just 88 days, then goes retrograde for 3 weeks. As a tool planet, its function is to preserve, support and fulfil our survival needs in all aspects of communication, whether we are listening to or hearing it, or doing it ourselves. Most astrologers will advise you against doing anything during this period, but Marguerite says that poor old Mercury gets a bum rap. Mercury is where we tap into our splendour, so instead of fearing it we should understand where Mercury falls in our natal chart and using it to our advantage for all it’s worth. My natal Mercury’s in my third house, so my splendour is in the field of writing and communicating and I’ve already lined up a whole list of things I want to move forward in the next three weeks by sailing on Mercury, the messenger of the Gods’ wings! What are you planning to do to harness the incredible gift that is Mercury retrograde? For more about Marguerite, go to www.margueritemanning.com.
