The Council Fire | Empowering Talk Radio

With the tragic events that are so prevalent in the news these days, it's overwhelming to think that we could be so affected; the thought of recovery is just plain out-of-sight.

How do we deal with the pain of a tragic event and turn it into a means of recovery? Why do bad things happen to good people? How do we deal with something that is so unfair? Did we do something to deserve such grief as the results of a mad man's destructive behavior?

This week we're talking about Intuition and Energy and our esteemed guest is none other than Penney Peirce!

 

Penney is a respected and gifted intuitive empath with deep psychological understanding, visionary ability, and business sense. She is one of the early pioneers in the intuition development movement, having worked since 1977 with organizations like the San Francisco-based Center for Applied Intuition, The Institute for the Study of Conscious Evolution, and The Intuition Network. 

A popular author, lecturer, counselor, and trainer, Penney specializes in intuition and sensitivity development, "skillful perception," personal energy and frequency training, dreamwork, and future trends. She travels widely, working throughout the US, Japan, South Africa, and Europe as an advisor to business executives, scientists, psychologists, other consultants and trainers, and those on a spiritual path. She has counseled tens of thousands of people worldwide about life and business direction, and the fulfillment of destiny.

Making Sense, Episode Four.

You know how it looks over there... On the other side of the fence... Look at it... All green and nice and pretty.. 

Be careful, though... Looks can be, and quite often are, very deceiving! What you think is something better... is just an illusion. 

When you feel like you're "stuck" with what you've got on your side of the fence, maybe you just need to alter your perception in order to "green up your own grass..." Jumping over the fence may get you away from your grass for a short time, but sure as clorophyll, you'll soon realize that your grass simply follows you around until you get out your gardner's tools and "green it up" and the only one who can do that is you. 

But once you do, just think how many people will be looking at your grass thinking, "Hmmmm.. Sure does look nice and green over there! Wonder what they've got that I don't have?"

Prayer is a challenge for many of us. What should we ask of God? Is anyone listening? Why aren't our prayers being answered? The hard truth is this: God doesn't fulfill needs. For thousands of years, humanity has brought needs to God with little success, often resulting in disillusionment. Now is the time to try something new: A nine-step prayer practice created by our very special guest, Jim Rosemergy, called The Gathering.

The Gathering will lead you to the avenues through which God's power and presence can be expressed. You'll see that prayer isn't something you do; rather, it's an experience of God's presence. Author Jim Rosemergy has seen thousands truly connect with God and transform their lives through prayer. The Gathering is divinely inspired.

Whether practiced individually or within a group, in just 40 days, The Gathering will become your foundation for a genuine, ever-deepening experience of God's immanent presence and unlimited power.

Jim Rosemergy is a spiritual seeker and explorer of the mystical life. His focus is conscious oneness with the One, a perpetual practice of the presence of God. He is the author of more than a dozen books about the spiritual journey, and he is a very popular speaker at churches and spiritual centers across the U.S.

He is also a regular columnist for Unity Magazine and contributing author to New Thought for a New Millennium. He has created many audio programs, including a four-meditation series titled God, My Friend, and teacher’s guides for two of his books, Even Mystics Have Bills to Pay and The Third Coming. Jim is the minister at Unity of Fort Myers, FL.

Moving through challenges with intuition, grace and dignity. Sometimes it's easy to lose your focus and lose your mind when your faced with what seem like unsurmountable odds. 

In this episode of our series "Making Sense," Johnn & Shelley discuss how to take a breath and move through what ails ya! 

Join us for this insightful and well-timed episode of "The Council Fire!"

Imagine you're waiting on the other side of the veil to incarnate into this earth-plane. Perhaps you're a new soul, perhaps an old one. Now, imagine that you're choosing the circumstances for your upcoming journey on this particular planet. What will you need to get your assignment completed? Who will be your parents that will give you their persuasion on your lessons? What geographical location will you inhabit early on or for your lifetime? How will you choose to live, as a victim or as an advocate of life?

If you can look at life this way, even for a moment, it's easy to see that there are no mistakes; only lessons to be learned. In fact, it's the reason you're here, to learn the lessons that will take you to the next stage, the next plane of your existence, the next step closer to Unity, the Union with the Divine. 

So here's your assignment, your contract:

You will receive a body. You will learn lessons. There are NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS. A lesson is repeated until it is learned. Your learning never ends. "There" is no better than "Here." Others are merely mirrors. What you make of your life is completely up to you. The answers lie INSIDE you, not OUTSIDE. Whether you think you CAN or CAN'T, in either case you'll be correct.

Join us for this interesting look at our "Sacred Contracts," as Caroline Myss so eloquently calls them. Our life lessons. Remember, there are no mistakes.

In this exceptional episode of The Council Fire, we’re speaking with Rique Patire, a Hospice Volunteer and the Creator/Producer/Performer of “Centered in the Storm,” a musical exploration of life, death, and family matters told in a humorous, poignant and uplifting way. The program follows Rique’s blue collar Jersey family's journey to accept the loss of their son and brother. It features songs from multiple Grammy winner, Emmylou Harris.

Hospice care focuses on bringing comfort, self-respect, and tranquility to people in the final years of life believing that the end of life is not a medical experience; it is a human experience that benefits from expert medical and holistic support. Hospice cares for patients’ families as well, to help them cope with what is happening and provide care and support to keep the patient at home.

Rique combines his program, “Centered in the Storm,” with Local Hospice organizations as a co-fundraiser and to raise awareness of the many benefits that hospice organizations provide.

This work affects everyone! Codependency is the number one epidemic on the planet today. Absolutely no one is immune to the contribution of this pursuit, even in healthy systems.

Having this knowledge will enable you to move from victim to victorious, allowing you to perceive the world as happening "for you" and not "to you." In this episode, we'll talk about how to reclaim your power, make peace with the past, add forgiveness to your list of qualities of life and show up for yourself like never before.

It's simply a matter of empowerement! Please join us and share this episode with your family and friends!

Our very special guest this week is Spiritual Coach and Author, Scott Kalechstein Grace, but you may know him as "The Spiritual Dr. Suess!"

"Am I a psychic coach? Yes. You betcha! I see auras, read the chakras, hear and talk to guides, the whole nine yards.

And yet, when people hear that I am psychic, clairvoyant, intuitive, etc. they often ask me questions about the future. They sometimes even want me to make decisions for them.

I don't read or predict the future, as I consider that a cheap use of my gifts, as helpful for my clients as serving them junk food. 

I do see, read, and articulate the soul lessons and blessings behind each challenge that a person is facing, the ways Life is attempting to help each person grow out of their stuck places and into their authentic Selves and authentic Power. 

I help people uncover, see and change the subconscious beliefs that are holding them back and give them tools to release them. 

I hold up a soul mirror and reflect their magnificence right back at them. 

That's what I do with my psychic gifts. Predictions are spiritual junk food. The only thing I predict is that as you stop holding hands with your fears, your life will move forward in wondrous ways. 

Who needs predictions, when you have personal power and a magical universe?

AND I DO IT ALL IN SONG!!!!!!"

This will be the show not to miss! Tell your friends and family to set a reminder, reserve the time and call in. Scott has promised that he'll do some live coaching on the air with some lucky callers and even create some songs on the spot!
