Success in the Long Term Relationship with Angeline Hart

Angeline Hart

Angeline Hart

November 10, 2015 – Couples are the basic unit on this earth, and if we could have happier, longer lasting relationships, happier families, and children raised in environments where they feel loved and accepted, we would have happier communities.

Angeline Hart is a relationship coach and the creator of the quiz, Gorilla Love.

The “Man-imal” types help women to pinpoint the man they’re with and learn more about the one they’re seeking.

The quiz helps women to recognize what’s most important to them and maybe even recognize that some of the qualities they’re seeking are available outside of their romantic relationships.

In this interview, Angeline describes two “man-imal” qualities women should avoid: the Rat and the Crab.

These men are prone to blaming and criticism – a habit and mindset that protects them from vulnerability.

The man’s true nature lies beneath Rat and Crab, but Gorillas, Panthers, and Pandas are out there for the taking.

To hear more about “man-imans” and Angeline’s compassionate approach to relationship, go here.

 

Formal Bio:

 

Angeline Hart is a Relationship Coach with a unique perspective. Although her focus includes helping her clients work through the jungle of dating, she builds toward success in the long term relationship.

Primarily she works with women and initially helps them to see men in new ways.

Today’s media seems to encourage a surface approach based on appearances, such as six-pack abs, thick, wavy hair, and a hot car, ie: Magic Mike or “the sexiest man of the year.”

Rather than use an appearance based 1-10 scale, Angeline classifies men into 12 categories with the names of different animals, which she calls Man-imals.

You can read her blogs on her FaceBook page: “Gorillas Make Great Lovers”, which is also the title of her forthcoming book. Take the man-imal quiz at www.GorillaLove.com.

Rethinking Mental Health with Dr. Eric Maisel

Maiselheadshot2

November 3rd, 2015“We’re getting close to labeling childhood as a mental disorder.”

Psychiatrist and Creativity Coach, Dr. Eric Maisel, gives us a much closer look at the state of mental health and its effect on all of us, especially children.

In this interview, we see how normal childhood behaviors and normal human experiences are being called symptoms of a mental disorder.

As a culture, we need to see the difference between medicine and a chemical with an effect.

As it stands, our language and our chronic labeling are doing us all a huge disservice.

Eric goes on to speak of the changes he’d like to see, including the training of mental health practitioners.

These practitioners would care deeply about a patient’s circumstances.

Instead of chemicals and diagnosis, life purpose, meaning, and meaning-making opportunities would be on the table and part of the discussion.

Formal Bio:

Dr. Eric Maisel has written more than 40 books on a wide variety of subjects. His latest book is The Future of Mental Health: Deconstructing the Mental Disorder Paradigm and describes a future of mental health movement that he is spearheading.

His interests include creativity, meaning, life purpose, and mental health. He works with clients as a creativity coach, trains creativity coaches, and provides core trainings for the Creativity Coaching Association. He also offers writing workshops around the world in places like London, Paris, Prague, Rome, New York and San Francisco and at workshop centers like Esalen, Kripalu and Omega.

He is an advocate for a changed and revitalized view of mental health services, one that does away with our current mental disorder naming system, and is writing the Rethinking Mental Health blog for Psychology Today.

Some of his books in this area include Rethinking DepressionThe Van Gogh BluesBrainstorm, and his latest, The Future of Mental Health. 

In it, he describes what he conceives as the helper of the future, the human experience specialist. You can learn more about this by taking his Human Experience Specialist class.

Eric is an advocate for a global paradigm shift from seeking meaning to making meaning. He’s written about value-based meaning-making in many of his books, including in his latest, Life Purpose Boot Camp.

Committing to a Life of Spiritual Intrigue with David Ault

davidault-greenbackground-600x600October 27, 2015 – If you show up and meet the mystery AND let go of the how, you make yourself available and say yes to your life.

Having grown up fundamentalist Christian, David Ault had enough of religion by the time he was old enough to leave home.

Years later, he was cajoled by a friend to attend a spiritual seminar; David found himself part of a captivated audience listening to Louise Hay.

He started writing music for her speaking gigs, and many years of service burgeoned from there.

As an author, speaker, and humanitarian who opened a school in Cambodia that offers free education to children, David’s work is never done, which is exactly how he likes it.

His new book, The Grass is Greener Right Here, has an underlying theme of perception and how we are “blind to our blessings.”

Because whatever our story, we’re as blessed as we’re willing to recognize that we are.

Formal Bio:

For nearly 30 years David has traveled the world as a New Thought musician, keynote speaker and workshop/retreat facilitator. His focus on remembering the Divine within and reclaiming that connection has empowered hundreds of thousands on their spiritual journey. The union of David’s charismatic message and heartfelt singing has elevated him to keynote speaker of choice in many nationwide churches, centers and global organizations.

“In my world of effect, there will always be someone smarter, prettier/handsomer, richer, braver, and more talented than me.  And eventually I learn that the gift of life isn’t about any of that; it’s about ceaselessly taking inventory of all the gifts I do possess and never abusing them through the waste of comparison.

Throughout the 1980’s, David, along with the late Jerry Florence and Keith Kimberlin made their mark in New Thought history by helping pioneer an unexplored musical genre — “visionary vocal/positive music.” The trio, known as Alliance, became trailblazers when introducing original music specifically designed to support the metaphysical teachings that life reflects our thoughts.  They toured/supported the beginning ministries of such notables as Louise Hay and Marianne Williamson. Alliance’s legendary blend and musical message helped establish them as one of the most successful vocal groups in the Spiritual recording field.

David continued this musical path as a solo artist, releasing one critically acclaimed recording after another including The Healing Bridge, Travelin’ With The Angels, All Is Calm, All Is Bright, And Then It Is Morning, One With The World, and Worthy Shoes.

As an ordained minister, David founded a Center for Spiritual Living in Mobile, Alabama and served as its senior minister for 4 years before accepting the position as senior minister for Spiritual Living Center of Atlanta, Georgia in the fall of 2010.

Through his stateside non-profit, Khmer Child Foundation, David has established an ongoing fresh water well building facilitation project in the Siem Reap area of Cambodia, as well as created a non-government regulated school that provides free education, medical/hygiene assistance, agricultural and life skills training, all against the odds of poverty and bureaucratic restriction. The school, named Future Khmer Child, currently supports nearly 200 children and young adults all year round.

As a respected teacher, writer and columnist, David is the author of the bestseller, Where Regret Cannot Find Me and his new book, The Grass Is Greener Right Here. David resides in Atlanta, GA.

Tantra with Marc Allen

Mark-Allen-photo-02

 

October 13th, 2015 – It’s funny to Marc Allan that Westerners associate the word Tantra with sex.

Because really, at its root, Tantra is about weaving the tapestry for your life.

It’s about Life Mastery.

On our individual paths to become self-realized, we encounter life’s most difficult emotions: anger, fear, anxiety, sadness.

But should we dare to go into those dark,  “poisonous” places, we will inevitably return with our brightest treasures.

Marc believes the capacity to become such a careful observer of the emotional world is a gift.

And in observing that world, we come to know there are 3 levels to everything: It’s outer, it’s inner, and it’s secret level.

As we go deeper into ourselves, we go deeper into our secret.

This episode of Life Mastery Radio with Marc Allan is filled with old, yet renewing wisdom.

Formal Bio:

Marc Allen is the author of several books including Tantra for the West, The Magical Path, The Greatest Secret of All, Visionary Business, and others.

He is an internationally renowned seminar leader, entrepreneur, author, and composer.

He co-founded New World Library (with Shakti Gawain) and has guided the company, as president and publisher, from a small start-up to its current position as a major player in the independent publishing world.

He leads seminars in northern California and gives teleseminars that reach people all over the world.

Our efforts to persevere are what provide us with wisdom. And wisdom is the gift from the past that serves as the foundation for our future.

Marriage Advice by Gerald Rogers

September 29th, 2015 –

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

But also…

When the teacher is ready, the student will appear.

When his marriage of 16 years ended, Rogers decided to write a letter to himself pinpointing what his past self needed to know.

He posted this letter to Facebook, thinking 1 or 2 people he knew might find it helpful; the post went viral.

“Your life is like a garden and you have a plant that represents your relationship – in the beginning, the plant is cared for. During courtship, we give it our best and choose to see the best in it.”

But we have to keep going. People wanting their relationship to last must see that successful relationships are about more than love.

They’re about partnership. Where we deal with money, children, sex and intimacy for the long term…

Ancient Wisdom and Food with Nathan Crane

nathancrane

September 15, 2015 –

Nathan Crane has long been fascinated with what ancient cultures knew about the world.

They charted the stars, erected beautiful architecture, and grew what they needed from the earth.

All this, without modern technology.

Despite that knowledge, however, these cultures still warred and killed. How could civilizations so advanced in one way, be so senselessly violent?

On a trip to Petroglyph National Monument, Nathan was given an answer – they were missing unified consciousness.

They missed a deep idea that we harm ourselves when we harm others.

Nathan believes that if we coupled reverence for Mother Earth with unified consciousness, we could create a life full of joy, love, and meaning.

Get Jolly with Allen Klein

11008474_10152920542081270_5641135454825676223_nSeptember 8, 2015 – Ever met a man who can earn himself a speeding ticket and then continue on his way in high spirits?

There’s a reason Allen Klein can do that – he does not give away his power to other people.

That’s what ruins our days and, in some cases, our lives.

In his book, You Can’t Ruin My Day, 52 Ways to Turn Any Situation Around, Allen provides tools and suggestions for getting over it.

Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy?

Allen’s ideas, however, aren’t just about sloughing off the traffic violation or the dog poo on the bottom of your shoe.

He speaks about grief, moving forward, gratitude, and humor during tough times.

After losing his wife at 34 to a rare disease, Allen dedicated his life to the art of finding joy. He teaches that tears are inevitable in life, but there is also humor, joy, and immense gratitude to be experienced.

We have to ask ourselves – what is going to win? The anger? The sorrow? The alcoholism? The hurtful opinions of others?

We can be grateful for not only what is going right in our lives but also for the not so great stuff.

There is much wisdom in this interview and tons more in Allen’s books.

Formal Bio:

Ever hear of a “Jollytologist®”? Well meet the world’s one and only Allen Klein. Through his books and his presentations, Klein shows people worldwide how to deal with everything from traffic jams to tragedies.  Allen Klein got into this unusual line of work after his wife died of a rare liver disease at the age of 34. He saw how humor helped her, and those around her, cope. He also saw how humor helped him get through that loss. He now teaches others how to find some in trying times. Those audiences include people in 48 states as well as Israel and Australia, and clients from IBM to the IRS.

Klein is an award-winning speaker and best-selling author. He is the recipient of a Toastmasters Communication and Leadership Award and a Certified Speaking Professional designation from the National Speakers Association. (Less than 800 of its 4,000 members have this honor.) Klein has authored, among other books, The Healing Power of Humor, Quotations to Cheer You Up, Up Words for Down Days, and The Courage to Laugh. The first book, The Healing Power of Humor, shows people how to use humor to deal with everyday trials and tribulations; the latter book, The Courage to Laugh, documents how people have used humor to triumph over tragedy.  Klein has a master’s degree in humor from St. Mary’s College in Minnesota (and that’s no joke!) And he is well suited to his subject. Years before becoming a “Jollytologist®”, Klein was nicknamed the “King of Whimsy” because he designed all the children shows at CBS television in New York City. Among those productions was one you probably remember the Captain Kangaroo show.  Although no longer working in the light-hearted world of children, Klein still believes that adults need to take a lesson from them and lighten up. To help adults do this, Klein is both the editor of The Mid-Month Mirth Memo e-zine, founder of International Mirth Month (every March), and President-elect of the Association of Applied and Therapeutic Humor (www.aath.org).

EFT with Dawson Church

Dawson_005-199x300

September 1, 2015 – When experiencing high levels of stress, blood drains from the forebrain to flood the muscles, preparing us for fight or flight response.

This response completely compromises our ability to make wise and sound decisions.

Now for the good news:

Dawson Church, PhD, author of Genie in Your Genes, explains that it’s not only possible to lower these stress hormones that overburden the system and cause a host of problems, but we can also boost our cell rejuvenation hormones that have major positive effects on our health.

In our interview with Dawson, we cover EFT and use Todd as our “handsome Guinea pig” for a tapping session.

EFT, combined with meditation,  connects us with the storehouse of wisdom and blessing inside of our bodies.

Another fantastic point raised in this interview is the notion that talk therapy, reiki, body work, whatever form of healing we’re doing for ourselves, is wonderful AND (as many of us know), not a single one of them is the panacea that cures all.

EFT just so happens to be a free, effective, and scientifically proven technique to use in conjunction with other self care we do that cultivates a relationship with our inner guidance.

Formal Bio:


Dawson Church, PhD,  is an award-winning author whose best-selling book, The Genie in Your Genes, (www.YourGeniusGene.com) has been hailed by reviewers as a breakthrough in our understanding of the link between emotions and genetics. He founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare (www.NIIH.org) to study and implement promising evidence-based psychological and medical techniques.

His groundbreaking research has been published in prestigious scientific journals. He is the editor of Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, & Treatment, a peer-reviewed professional journal (www.EnergyPsychologyJournal.org), a blogger for the Huffington Post, and a reviewer for the APA’s Mental Health Mobile Phone Application Review Database. He shares how to apply the breakthroughs of energy psychology to health and athletic performance through EFT Universe (www.EFTUniverse.com), one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web.

Reframing Your Story with Kim Schneiderman

kim-schneiderman

 

August 18th, 2015 – Show Synopsis:

Most people understand that their life is an unfolding story.

But few step out of their story to ask themselves who is writing the script, what the story is about, or what tools are needed to learn and grow.

Kim Schneiderman believes that is when we really suffer – when there’s a storytelling deficit.

Turns out, our ability to envision ourselves as the lead character in our life’s story is crucial to our well-being because how we tell the story adds meaning to our lives.

Her new book, Step Out of Your Story, Writing Exercises to Reframe and Transform you Life, is an intervention into our suffering and a tool that helps people see, thus experience their lives differently.

Schneiderman, in her work as a psychotherapist and workshop facilitator, has discovered that most people prefer “low impact” routines.

Meaning, though we’re surrounded by challenging characters that could help us grown beyond our perceived limitations, our negative, underdeveloped stories prevent us from meeting that challenge.

Kim teaches that the antagonists in our lives are our personal trainers, helping us develop those flabby parts of ourselves that need more work.

Formal Bio:

Kim Schneiderman, LCSW, MSW, is a psychotherapist, workshop facilitator, former journalist, and spiritual essayist who lives and works in New York City.

Her new book, Step Out of Your Story, Writing Exercises to Reframe and Transform your Life, offers a story lens on life that help us see ourselves as ever-evolving characters growing through changes and challenges that show up in our narratives, which are works in progress.

As a writer, journalist, and therapist, Schneiderman believes our lives consist of stories that can be told in infinite ways. Every time we open our mouths, turn on our Ipads, or “put pen to paper,” we make choices about how to tell a tale, about highs and lows, relationships and jobs, heartaches and joys.

To read her full bio, go here.
