Path 11 Podcast

This episode is inspired by the recent change in one of our first spiritual teachers and New Age author, Doreen Virtue. After having an encounter with Jesus in a meditation, Doreen came to believe that the angels her "spiritual gifts" where actually deceptions from demons. Since this experience, and after decades teaching "New Age" philosophies, Doreen has renounced these teachings to become a born-again Christian. Her professional efforts are now spent as an author and teacher of Christianity. In this episode, April is joined by "Magic and Miracles" host Mary Pikul, and they begin to dig deep into this sentiment made popular by a growing number ex-new agers speaking out on their experiences and it's implications in healing work and spiritual tools that so many have come to experience as positive avenues to well-being.

Lora Cheadle is the author of FLAUNT! After ten years of practicing corporate law in California and Colorado, she chose to change paths to become the radio host and Life Choreographer® she is today. She is a certified hypnotist, personal trainer, burlesque performer, and yoga instructor, as well as a popular writer for People magazine and Elephant Journal. She offers "Find Your Sparkle" coaching programs, workshops, and destination retreats and teaches all over the world. Her home base is in Colorado.

Author Lora Cheadle found herself trapped in a persona she had created of a powerful and successful practicing attorney. She realized that while her career was impressive, she did not feel the same sense of power she projected outside herself inside her own heart. In order to re-connect with her inner "spark," she had to literally peel away the layers she had fabricated, based on what the outside world expected of her. As she started stripping away her layers (both metaphorically and physically by performing burlesque!), she discovered a new way to be in the world, a way that energized and fulfilled her spirit as no fabricated "persona" could do, and she called that approach FLAUNT. FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy & Spiritual Self (New World Library, November 5, 2019) is chock-full of inspiring ideas and tips to make your life as shiny and glittery as possible. In Act 1 of the book, we are taught how to "Recognize and Release" the labels, roles, and scripts that are always running and influencing us. In Act 2, we are introduced to the first three steps of FLAUNT! which include "Revealing and Reveling in" what makes our lives sparkle. And, at last, in Act 3, we take the final two steps and "re-choreograph" our lives to be better than we could have ever imagined. "I believe that women deserve to be seen," Cheadle writes. "And I believe that universally women want to be seen. For who they are. Not for what they do. Not for who they are in relation to others, or what they can give. But for themselves. For who they are inside, at their most raw, authentic, vulnerable, and naked core. I believe that when women are not seen, they cannot be accepted for who they are. When women are not accepted for who they are, they cover their power, dim their light, hide their beauty, and reject uninhibited joy. They lose what I like to call their sparkle, which is everything inside that makes them uniquely, authentically, and spectacularly themselves. When we lose our sparkle, we lose touch with our hearts, we suppress our personal desires, and we fall out of love with our bodies. In short, we fall into a state of chronic self-judgment, and we stop enjoying life fully. . . . When you get naked, and unapologetically expose all facets of who you are in everything that you do, you can't help but sparkle and shine!"

Monica Berg is a CHANGE JUNKIE and she wants to challenge the way you think about EVERYTHING. In her first book, FEAR IS NOT AN OPTION, she challenged readers to eradicate fear from their lives. In her latest book, RETHINK LOVE, she uses years of personal experience teaching and counseling to eradicate false belief systems around love and relationships. Monica is a mother, wife, sister, teacher and friend, who integrates all that she is into her mission and as Chief Communications Officer of The Kabbalah Centre, she integrates her personal mission with this ancient wisdom. Monica was born and raised in Louisiana before moving to Los Angeles. At 17, she began studying Kabbalah and knew very quickly that this was her path, eventually leading her to the serendipitous meeting of Michael Berg, her now husband of 21 years. During her teen years, Monica developed an eating disorder that grew into in a five-year battle with anorexia and body dysmorphia. With her recovery came a better understanding of the disease and a passion to help others. However, it wasn't until her second child was born that Monica had to reevaluate her own belief system. Her son, Joshua, was diagnosed with Down Syndrome shortly after his birth, which was life changing for Monica and her family. The diagnosis led to Monica's credo, "In change, there is great power," and the choice to believe in the beauty and potential of who her son could become and subsequently who she could become. Monica aims to challenge people and encourages them to reframe what they think they know and she's seen the results of rethinking first hand. Monica learns from her students as often as they from her. "I'm inspired by everyone that I come into contact with," Monica says, "Everyone has something valuable to share and we can derive meaning from each encounter." When she's not writing, lecturing, or working with students at the centre, Monica contributes her time and voice to Habitat for Humanity and Something For Kelly. While she is passionate about helping all people feel empowered, she is especially committed to organizations that support women, particularly those with a mission focused on overcoming eating disorders. Monica currently resides in New York City with her husband Michael and their children David, Joshua, Miriam, and Abigail. She is currently putting the finishing touches on her second book, Rethink Love.

Gene Ang, Ph.D. has a healing practice based in Thousand Oaks, CA and sees clients for a number of energy healing and shamanic healing practices. In particular he created the Arcturian Healing Method and uses this as his main healing modality. In addition, he teaches seminars that focus on the integration of science, spirituality, and healing and also teaches the Arcturian Healing Method to others. Gene travels both in the United States and internationally facilitating healing sessions and workshops. Gene received his BA from Stanford in Human Biology and Philosophy/ Religious Studies, and was formally trained as a Neurobiologist at Yale where he earned his doctorate in basic mechanisms of how the brain develops followed by a post-doctoral fellowship on how ultrasound can affect the developing cerebral cortex. After his post-doctoral fellowship, Gene decided to step into the role of a facilitator of healing in order to directly interact with helping people. Most of his work centers around the use of subtle energy to help align the subtle energy body, its channels, meridians, and energy centers to help restore balance and harmony so that healing can occur whether it be physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual. Gene doesn't see himself as the healer but simply as part of the interconnectedness that occurs when facilitator, client, and Source/Love/God interact to bring healing forth. He sees his teaching engagements and seminars as an extension of this interaction that occurs on multiple dimensions to bring wholeness, understanding, and evolution to all involved. www.geneang.com
