Mike Garson is best known as David Bowie’s pianist. He has also worked with such bands as Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins. He's now partnered with Dr. Christopher Duma, a Newport Beach physician who does brain surgery routinely (with rock music piped into the operating room) and who is, indeed, trying to find new treatments for brain cancer and neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's. This dynamic duo is going for the gold to try and heal people with all types of ailments and diseases with music. Medicine and music are combined in a blender of genius with therapy that hasn't been used like this before. Not only do they need people that will dominate the medical field, but they also need the musical genius of Mike Garson to head the project home. The project is called Music Heals, support them today.

Being able to look in the mirror and like what one sees creates a positive self-image, which translates into how we interact with others and how others look at us.  This is an essential lesson found in BODY, MIND, & MOUTH:  Life’s Eating Connection, by Margaret Marshall, founder of the Why Weight coaching method. “Your thoughts control your eating and your weight,” she says.

 

When the person looking into the mirror is unhappy with what he or she sees, this can lead to a vicious cycle of self-fulfilling doubts and negative thinking.  But there is another option:  seize the opportunity to make behavioral and lifestyle changes that will in turn transform one’s self-image.  Most people understand that they are in control of what and how they eat.  Unfortunately, there can be a daily disconnect regarding one's body, mind, and mouth, very often lasting for years.

 

In BODY, MIND, & MOUTH, Marshall draws insights and lessons from her clients' lives, along with her own experiences, to illustrate how “our minds affect our mouths, how our mouths affect our bodies, and how a shift in thought can benefit our health and wellness”.

For over a decade, Paige Valdiserri (http://www.paigevaldiserri.com/) a board certified Traumatic Stress and Intuitive Healing Consultant, has worked with clients suffering or recovering from chronic stress and trauma due to war zone episodes, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, medical or chronic illness, personal traumas or intense professional or corporate settings. 

Paige Valdiserri’s work has taken her to Iraq, Africa, to the Pentagon, to working with veterans of 9/11 and to many locations where first responders are on the front lines. Paige offers a combination of modalities including Chakra energy work, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Hypnosis/Past Life Regression/Meditation, Kundalini yoga techniques, Reiki, Subconscious Restructuring and Biodynamic Craniosacral Trauma Therapy. 

Her work has led her to create a specialized healing method, Energetic Body Dialogue (EBD). Unlike traditional methods, EBD works to align patients with their bodies through physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic properties. By assessing all the components of a patient, Paige is able to create a highly personalized service that leads to wellness, self-empowerment and, most importantly, reconnection to a body once detached from its wholeness.

This week on The Shift we're talking with teen novelist Nancy Rue. The issue she addresses in her latest novel, So Not Okay, is bullying in schools. Her novel is written for teenagers to see through the viewpoint of a child being bullied. We have all been there when we were growing up, but what we assumed at one point in our lives to be harmless actually torments young kids so much that they end their lives. Many people don't realize the severity of the situation and should become more aware of how their children behave towards others. 

We'll discuss the issue of human kindness, how we can stop bullying and how to deal with bullying. Help us push this movement forward and stop this once and for all. Call in and ask your questions. We're also giving away a couple copies of the book to share with your teen. Follow us on Twitter @ShiftWithSkip or on Facebook here. #bullying #sonotokay

Lisa Dwoskin has a degree in both Psychology and Exercise Physiology from the University of Miami. She has owned and operated Metamorphecise Spa and Health Club in Pembroke Pines, Fla. for the past 13 years. She is a life coach, personal trainer, and group exercise instructor.  As Lisa became more experienced in working with clients one on one, she realized that many people were suffering and staying stagnant in one place due to the fact that they could not program their minds to be positive. Lisa felt  that she had to teach individuals that with a positive mind, they can change their bodies and their lives. This is when she incorporated mind and spiritual workouts into her clients regimens.

Lisa has  been in the health and wellness industry for about 25 years, since she was 18 years old.  She built up a great reputation for herself and people want to hear what she has to say.  She leads seminars twice a month to educate people on self-love, healing, and meditation. She talks about fitness, nutrition, spiritual enlightenment, and healthy living. She not only teaches  what she preaches, but she lives it as well 100 %.

Her latest book Metamorphecise comes out soon.

Kathleen Jamie is one of the UK’s foremost poets, the award-winning author of several books of poetry, including The Overhaul, which won the Costa Book Award for Poetry (previously called the Whitbread) in 2013, and two previous nonfiction titles.

Her latest book Sightlines offers a landmark work about the natural world and our relationship to it. In extraordinarily precise language Jamie explores her native Scottish surroundings, intermingling personal history with observations of the landscape. Her travels lead her to studying whalebones in Norwegian museums, exploring remote Scottish islands, and watching icebergs in the Arctic. Sightlines invites us to take a moment to pause and reconsider all that nature gives us.

Sabra Waldfogel grew up far from the South in Minneapolis. She studied history at Harvard University and received her Ph.D. in American History from the University of Minnesota. She has worked as a technical writer and has written about historic architecture for Old House Journal and Arts and Crafts Homes. Her short story "Yemaya” was recently published in Sixfold's January 2014 issue. Slave and Sister is her first novel.

Will they be rivals or allies? The age-old struggle between sisters is skillfully brought to life in Slave and Sister, by Sabra Waldfogel. In the antebellum South, relations between slaves and their owners are conflicted enough; if there are blood ties, the tension can become a lethal storm.

It was common in the antebellum South to raise a slave alongside the heir. But it was a surprise to both Adelaide and Rachel to discover they shared the same father. In a mesmerizing tale marked by impeccable historical accuracy, we begin by learning that scouts for General Sherman stumble upon a plantation that's anything but ordinary: it flies the Union flag and the freed slaves can read and write, and work the former plantation themselves.

Join us on The Shift With Skip as we talk death, perception of the afterlife and grief. We will all face the death of a loved one at some point in our lives, and inevitably, we will face our own deaths as well. Terri Daniel's new book,Turning the Corner on Grief Street begins where her previous books left off, by assuming  that we are ready to accept these experiences as not only necessary for spiritual growth, but also as sacred journeys that can elevate our perspectives and expand us rather than annihilate us. 

Terri Daniel is also the founder of a conference called The Afterlife Conference where authors, spiritual leaders and gurus from all over the world gather to talk about the spiritual realm that is the afterlife.
