  • We all know how important it is to have goals and make plans for how we want to live our lives. Have you thought about how you would want the ending of your life to be? Why would that be important and how does it enhance our ability to live more fully now?
    These and many other questions are answered in this week's episode when I meet with the Spiritual Director of Empowered Endings, Elizabeth Uslander.
    Elizabeth and her husband Bob Uslander, MD are on a mission to transform the experience of Life, at any stage in the face of illness and dying. They help individuals and their loved ones move beyond fear and discomfort when facing a serious illness or the end of life so they can live as full, present, and peaceful as possible, until their last breath.
    Bob, who’s been practicing medicine for more than 30 years (22 of them in the Emergency Room), saw firsthand that the quality of most patients' end of lives was missing. As a result, he co-founded Empowered Endings, with his wife Elizabeth who’s the Spiritual director, to support people through their end of Life.
    In this conversation, we discuss the significance of open and honest conversations about mortality and the value of how planning reduces stress and anxiety allowing freedom to live fully.

  • Are you ready to take a quantum leap into hope and your heart in 2024? In this interview I talk with Phoenix Rose about her new book, Hope and Heart, A Quantum Leap into the Aquarian Age, where she encourages you to trust in yourself, and follow your intuition to guide you to a more expanded and meaningful life. 
    Hope and Heart, A Quantum Leap into the Aquarian Age (fifty years a student of metaphysics, a long time Rosicrucian, amateur astrologer, and lover of science and nature), and was published by Balboa Press. Her book is an inspirational, multi-faceted poetry and prose anthology about love, nature, optimism, self-reflection, and a new understanding of consciousness and science through Quantum physics.
    Theoretical Quantum physicist, Amit Goswami, PhD., whom she frequently quotes from his numerous books, contends that “not matter, but consciousness, is the basis of all being.” If accepted by all science, this could prove the notion of an interconnectedness – a Oneness - of all life, and radically change the thinking of humanity. One day this could reunite science and spirituality.
    The Poetry section is divided into six themes: Nature, Innocence, Going Within, Love, Aspiration and Joy. Mostly written since 2006, but ranging from 1963 to the present, her sixty poems are 'sprinkled' with the author's burgeoning artwork.
    Her prose is Aiming High, Quantum Hope, A Paradigm Shift in Science and Peace Begins Within.
    The author shares that we have responsibility and creative power to elevate our consciousness toward a higher level, our Home Sweet Home; and quoting Rumi, who said, “What you seek is seeking you.” Finally, she admonishes us to “Keep anticipating your creative Quantum leaps and always have hope!”
    Phoenix Rose has an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree from North Lake College near Dallas, Texas, and at the University of Texas at Arlington, was inducted into the Alpha Chi Scholastic Honor Society.
    A writer, artist, student of life, and perennial volunteer, she studied astrology in the 1970s with Arlene Kramer, Uranian astrologer and former president of the American Federation of Astrologers, and later studied with Mae R. Wilson-Ludlam, PMAFA.
    In Ontario, the author is a member of several local community groups – one for Climate Action, another to preserve nearby wetlands, and two writers’ groups. She has developed and facilitated numerous community workshops on metaphysical and spiritual topics.
    In her spare time, she enjoys Taoist Tai Chi, yoga, forest bathing, gardening, reading mostly non-fiction and historical fiction. To recharge her creative “well” she especially relishes taking walking meditations along the beaches of Georgian Bay, Ontario and those near Charleston, SC with her husband. They recently retired after twenty years of ballroom dancing lessons. The mother of three, she has six grandchildren, and wants the best future for them and all humanity.

    To help provide comfort, support, love, and happiness to those dealing with grief and loss, she founded the Grief and Happiness Alliance.

  • Are you ready to take a ride down the rabbit hole and expand your consciousness? In this episode with psychologist, author and spiritual teacher Christina Donnell, that is exactly what we do. 
    Christina Donnell, PhD, is a psychologist, author of two books, and spiritual teacher, who studied Eastern traditions and the shamanic energy practices of the Q’ero (Care-o) Indians of Peru for nearly three decades. She is the founding director of Winds of Change Association, a Minneapolis-based educational organization offering programs that cultivate humanity’s evolving consciousness.
    Her new book is Encounters with Living Language: Surrendering to the Power of Words — Think Eat, Pray, Love meets Carlos Castaneda, with a twist of Rilke! This story of profound awakening to intelligent creative consciousness chronicles Christina's 92 Illuminations —deep internal dives into stillness and light she calls illuminations—that offered her privileged moments of expansion and insight arising spontaneously through her body and consciousness, that allowed her to channel the pure language that weaves reality. As she describes the unfolding illuminations, readers are transported beyond ordinary consciousness, and open doorways to the quantum reality that is all around us. The quantum field is not so mysterious or hard to imagine as we've been told. We are in it. It's an Energy Soup and we don't have to go anywhere to get there! This really excites me! It's a new way of looking at our world, how connected we truly are, and that we live and breathe in the quantum reality of All that Is.
