Philly J. Lay screamed in agony after a medical mishap during back surgery caused a near-death experience in hospital.

This was followed by four years of her being partly bedridden, struggling with PTSD, deep grief, opioid and alcohol addiction for the pain. Until she took back her power and began a self-healing journey that led to her to become an expert in wellness. Author of the The Natural Wellness Journal, she shares her secrets for a thriving healthy life.

Golden Nugget #1

Alternative health specialists see you wholistically.

Western Medicine specialists only address their area of expertise - they don’t even confer with each other.

Golden Nugget #2

First she addressed Diet and Nutrition

She went on a massive detox with intermittent fasting and discovered she had a leaky gut. She was addressing several autoimmune diseases like tinnitus, and vertigo and began changing her attitude to include gratitude.

She also began to ask…not “why is this happening to me but why is it happening for me?” 

Golden Nugget #3

Next came the emotional-energy component of her health quest.

Penny Croal, who specializes in serious disease invited her to a Matrix Reimprinting using EFT Tapping workshop.

“On arrival I thought it was weird,” she says, “but by the end I had released huge emotional traumas that were stored in my body going back to a time when I lost four key women in my life - my mother, sister and two of my best friends. I continued to work with Penny for weeks after that with dramatic healing results.”

Golden Nugget #4

With healing of mind, body and emotions came Philly’s desire to share her miraculous recovery with others in a book - particularly relevant for Covid times.

The Natural Wellness Journal has 56 holistic practices to keep you well and healthy. Written in short chapters, each chapter contains hard hitting facts, space to journal and recommended practices.

Golden Nugget #5

Shortcut to 6 daily practices recommended by Philly J. Lay - all explained in her book and in videos she is producing for You Tube and social media.

•EFT Tapping on the body’s meridian points

•Breath work

•Walk in nature

•Intermittent Fasting

•High Intensity interval training or rebounding

•Intermittent hypothermia (cold water plunges/cold sea swimming as pioneered by Wim Hof aka The Iceman)

Golden Nugget #6

Set your intentions for the day with the Blessing Ball of Light - using Intention, mindset and manifesting.

Golden Nugget #7

Don’t neglect the spiritual aspect of your health.

The Universe has your back is a motto Philly features on one of her T-shirt range.

A former atheist, she says she is convinced of her spiritual alignment with a force bigger than herself - God, the Universe or the field.

https://www.thejourney.com for a free copy of Brandon Bays’ book The Journey which has sold millions of copies worldwide and is the foundation of her globally successful company that offers transformational workshops and training in The Journey.

In this podcast she shares how she helped a $1m scriptwriter overcome writer's block and win an Academy Award and how she overcame her own Silent Saboteurs as an author.

Below are 5 Golden Nuggets from this interview.

What is Journey work?
Journey work is a healing process that was born from her own experience of healing from a basketball sized uterine tumor in six and a half weeks. It is based on the scientific fact that strong repressed emotions affect us at a cellular level - and blocked cells cause illness - mental, emotional and physical.

Summary of key points Brandon Bays gave in the interview:

Golden Nugget #1
Release, forgive, and let go past painful cellular memories. They are the Silent Saboteurs that affect all areas of our life - including writing and creativity.

Golden Nugget #2
At the root of your Silent Saboteur are parents, teachers or Adults from your childhood/teens. The Journey allows us to recognize them, dialogue with them, then cut the ties and let go, forming new empowering beliefs and positive resources.

Golden Nugget #3
Write with a specific reader in mind.
When writing her book The Journey, Brandon imagined she was writing for one specific woman reader who needed its healing message. “So every day I prayed for her. I had her in front of me. I kept saying, I'm writing this for you so that you can go on your own path of healing.”

Golden Nugget #4
Know the spiritual aspects of your life or writing. The Journey allows you to free up your potential at a soul level and express your Grace-given gifts as a writer.

Golden Nugget #5
Forgiveness, part of the Journey campfire process, is a key to releasing the toxicity of repressed emotions keeping us stuck or ill. “The power of forgiveness can never be spoken about loud enough or strong enough,” she says.

Taking the Magical Path to success in life and writing your book is the theme of this interview with Marc Allen.
5 Book Hook Tips: Free Checklist: https://www.writethebookinsideyou.com/freegift

Marc Allen, world-famous Author of 18 books, and head of New World Library, publishers of 650 books, including The Power of Now by Eckhard Tolle, shared with Caryl Westmore the following insightful wisdom about writing and publishing today:

Marc believes totally in writing a book from your heart - not from your head. And definitely advises not to follow a current trend or fad. 
He says: "The secret of writing a good book really is to write from your heart. Write what is inside you, just like the title of your wonderful podcast. Don't write from your head, do not write trying to follow trends or anything like that. Write what's in your heart and soul and what is really meaningful to you."

Although he has been a traditional publisher with New World Library for more than 44 years Marc is a huge supporter of self-publishing, having started his publishing company with his then-girlfriend Shakti Gawain from their kitchen table.

"I just self-published a few little books. And then my girlfriend at the time named Shakti Gawain did a book we published called Creative Visualization. And suddenly, we had this word of mouth bestseller (today her book has sold 6 million copies) and a whole company grew up around my self-publishing efforts".

Facts shared by Marc Allen:

•  New World Library is still publishing and marketing books "the good old way," says Marc.

"We're still doing it the same way of a good solid traditional publisher that gives the author an advance and does not ask any money from the author. We really try to sell books and we make our money off book sales, we don't charge the author."

• "What if you've already self-published,  would you need to show sales of at least 1000 or 2000 books? Would a publisher like yourself still be interested in a self-published book?"Yeah, definitely. We have picked up self-published books, any publisher will. And yeah, if you can sell 1000/2000 on your own, you'll get some interest from some publisher, because in a way, you've done the marketing research, you've shown this book will sell.
• Author Platform counts. "But more and more what publishers look at today is what you as an author can do to promote your book. Do you have a mailing list? Where are you on social media? The buzz phrase now is what's the author's platform? "
• Marc believes in the power of prayer. That's how he picked up the then barely known writer Eckhard Tolle whose book The Power of Now had been published in Canada.

"For a week or two walking around my house, I began to pray to take a quantum leap financially and personally. A week or two after I started praying this, my marketing manager casually mentioned Tolle's book and once I held got it into my hands, I knew it was for New World Library."
A few years later Oprah picked it up at a Book Fair - and the rest is history.

• Did you know? Unlike many publishers, you don't have to approach New World Library through an agent. Says Marc: "We invite authors just to send directly to us too. I'd say half of the books that we publish, roughly, are probably directly with the authors and half with agents. Either way is fine."

In today's FIVE MINUTE FRIDAY, I ask: Do you want to be happier now? Tips from two best-selling books I'm currently reading could make your week much happier or change your life for good.

The two books I'm referring to are The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan, coauthored with Dr. Benjamin Hardy, and from Mel Robbins, The High Five Habit. They're both high on the best-selling lists at the moment as I'm recording this at the end of October 2021.
Let's look at them. And see what happens in the next week if you follow what I describe to you from these books. 

Number one, high-five yourself in the mirror, encouragingly every morning. According to Mel Robbins, author of The High Five Habit you are cheering yourself in a way that you usually reserve for others - yet it's crucial in stressful times to root for yourself. As you look into the mirror, and high-five yourself something magical happens. Instead of seeking love and support outside yourself from others. As you go through your day you realise you've given it to yourself, you sent yourself a message "I believe in you, I see you, you've got this!"

Number two book is The Gap and the Gain. Understanding the difference between living in the gap versus the gain can make all the difference to your happiness. And the way to do that is to not look at how far you've got to go. But how far you've come. Stop harping on where you fall short of your goals and ideals. And instead, notice and applaud yourself for how far you've come. How much wisdom and growth you've gained in the game of life.

That's the powerful message in this book - a true gem of inspiration from authors Dan Sullivan, and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Living in the gap is stressful and leads you to wanting external validation while grasping at material goals to fulfill you. Instead, aim to measure your progress backward against where you started, not against the ideal, says Dan Sullivan. Embrace an attitude of gratitude for where you are right now.

SPONSOR ANNOUNCEMENT
And now an announcement from Break-Free Fast Publishing, today's sponsor: "I'm driving with Nick - wanting to announce that my book You can Break-Free Fast is now available on Amazon, ACX/Audible. So anyone who's interested can hear me reading the book and it's been a big step for me while taking quite a few months since I started recording it and announced I was recording it to the day that my sound guy engineer okayed it and tweaked it and now it's up and ready. So celebrate with me. Hi Five!
