Sheena Nancy Sarles is a lifelong student of well-being, a certified Yoga teacher, and a world wide presenter of her created and curated Yoga for Living with Loss™. The losses of her parents, sister, and best friend led her to integrate her yoga practice with her grief. From grief workshops in writing and loss, it became apparent that while grief breaks our hearts, and clouds our thoughts, it also congests in our bodies. She deeply understands that grief is not healed, we learn to live with our grief. Sheena created Yoga for Living with Loss using the foundation of the chakras, energy centers that provide information about our bodies, to bring yoga to the bereaved. She continues to study with many teachers internationally to study the healing relationship of our bodies, minds, and spirits. She has been a teacher, a communications and fundraising professional, is the author of  “Growing Younger Gracefully: Your Guide to Aging with Vitality, Resilience, and Pizzazz”  and creator of GYG Organic Facial and Body Serums™. She teaches internationally and has been published in a variety of publications.  She spends her time in Marblehead, MA.  More information is available at www.GrowingYoungerGracefully.com.

In this time of upheaval and change, the invitation to radically love ourselves and honor our truth is calling to us like never before.  There is a deep call from our bodies and souls to rise from the ashes, and live a more heart centered life. The transformative power of our souls cannot be denied nor dismissed any longer.  As we rebirth, we are healing old wounds, risking our hearts and expressing our magnificence. I am honored to share space with a soul sister, Kristen Lynch. Instead of an interview, this is a vulnerable, heart centered conversation about our journeys and exploration of living a heart centered life.

In this podcast, you will learn:

The grieving process of awakening and remembering who you are

The beauty in living in the present moment, no matter what life brings to you

Loving yourself like never before and opening your heart to Source inside of you

How to live everyday in Source energy and rebirth, remember and return to your authentic self

How did the Holocaust happen? It didn't happen all at once. it happened by reduction - reducing people's freedoms, reducing their identity, reducing them to numbers and ultimately to ashes . The same is what happens in our life when we face life's darkness and nothing is darker than when we are reduced to numbers. Whether it's your weight, age, salary, IQ... you are here to defy your numbers and you do this through the defiant power of your spirit.

As Brene Brown says, “Everyone has a story or a struggle that will break your heart. And, if we’re really paying attention, most people have a story that will bring us to our knees.”

Numb, restless, lethargic, empty, angry, exhausted, confused, dispirited, drained, depressed, hopeless, aimless, purposeless …

Shame, hiding behind our pain, fear, and mental illness.

These are only a tiny selection of the total possible feelings we carry when we disconnect from our Souls – that vital spark of life within us.

But how do we reach this point of total disconnection from life; this existential malaise?

In this podcast, you will learn:

What you need to feel and heal in order to be authentically you

How to reclaim your soul, and gather the fragmented pieces from your own trauma and wounds, to help you remember, you were never broken. 

You are always and always will be, whole.

Dr. Viktor Frankl, author of "Man's Search For Meaning," attributes part of his survival in the Holocaust to Nietzsche's famous reminder, "he who has a why can endure any how." In this podcast Rabbi B will explore the power of why, why he created the Defiant Spirit and why knowing your why will help you endure any and every how.

When we think of our relationship to spirit, we tend to think of it as a one way street. We communicate with them as a pathway to receive confirmation of their presence, give us direction in our life, and comfort us in their absence on our journey in this world.  Although this is true, it isn’t entirely true. In fact, the relationship between the living and the dead is really a two way street. In this talk, Healing The Dead: A Spiritual Two Way Street, given at the Colorado End of Life Collaborative, Master Healer Ariela HaLevi and Rabbi Dr. Baruch HaLevi will share ancient mystical wisdom, principles and practices of how we heal our loved one's in spirit. You can learn more about the Colorado End of Life Collaborative at: https://coeolcollaborative.org/

"The Defiant Spirit" is Rabbi Dr. Baruch HaLevi's "Rabbi B's" new podcast synthesizing the foundational ideas of both logotherapy and the life and legacy of Dr. Viktor Frankl,  with Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical blueprint of existence and roadmap for the soul. In this first podcast he will be exploring some of the foundational principles of Dr. Frankl's message of meaning, hope and inspiration and some fundamental, kabbalistic ideas. No matter what you are facing or enduring you have within you the defiant power of your spirit. It's time to awaken it, live it and illuminate a darkened world.

How did the Holocaust happen? It didn't happen all at once. it happened by reduction - reducing people's freedoms, reducing their identity, reducing them to numbers and ultimately to ashes . The same is what happens in our life when we face life's darkness and nothing is darker than when we are reduced to numbers.
