Spiritual Integration with Life Coach Laura

 I’ll be talking with Amanda Zabel about her upcoming Heart Quest retreat and about how communing with nature can help us to better know our true selves.  We’ll also be talking about the challenges and benefits of taking on personal transformation and growth.  Amanda is a licensed professional counselor who is passionate about transformation.  She says, “Transformation means more than choosing a different way of doing things or changing your job or your relationship status.  It means going to the core of yourself and getting to know the truth of who you are.”  This will be the last episode of this show for a while as I enter a time of personal growth and exploration that will be taking most of my time and attention.  Thank you for listening and I hope to be back some time down the line.

Just a few years ago Allison Amick was working in the corporate world, but since then she has made the shift to a life that is a truer expression of both her gifts and who she really is.  Allison does Flower essence consultations for both people and animals; working with nature to co-creatively support and anchor the shift from where you are to where you want to be.  We’ll be discussing her journey towards a more authentic life for herself as well as how flower essences can be of assistance in just such a journey. Flower essences are herbal infusions made from the flowering parts of plants which address specific emotional and mental aspects of wellness.  "To understand how flower essences work requires a recognition that the human being is more than a physical body, but also incorporates a "body" of life energy, a "body" of sensitivity and feelings, and a spiritual essence or Self. Flower essences are energetic imprints of the life force of plants which interact with these subtle bodies of the human being, and evoke specific qualities within us. We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while the flower essences work through the medium of water."  ~FES Flowers Contact Allison Amick at www.transformationfromwithin.com  650-544-7328

"You can't live your values unless you know what they are," says Jo Kline Cebuhar, author of "So Grows the Tree: Creating an Ethical Will - The Legacy of Your Beliefs and Values, Life Lessons and Hopes for the Future." Jo has been an attorney and entrepreneur for 26 years. Her journey to this book began with her loss of loved ones to death, both sudden and lingering. As the chairman of Iowa’s largest hospice organization, she came to understand the importance of and right to peace and dignity at life’s end, which was the path to her first book, "Last things first, just in case… The practical guide to Living Wills and Durable Powers of Attorney for Health Care." Whenever Jo spoke, people were most interested in Chapter Ten: A legacy of values and beliefs, The Ethical Will, and that trail led to this book. As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. And so grew this book. You are never too young to begin reflecting on what has been most important to you through your life. Also, an ethical will doesn't have to be a long document. It can be a letter, a poem or song, a video, a scrapbook, or whatever method you can dream to record and share your self and your values. Jo is a frequent speaker and workshop leader on end-of-life issues and creating Ethical Wills and lives in a state of bliss called Iowa with her husband and two cats. www.sogrowsthetree.com

Sandy Phocas, the founder of Co-Creative Evolution, is a shamanic practitioner who began her work as a psychiatrist, later training in multiple healing and spiritual practices, including with shamans in the US, South America, and Africa.

Her passion is sharing this path with others by helping them to not only heal, but to profoundly access their own truth, power, and creative life force energy.

Stephen Lewis is a founder of EMC² and is the co-author of Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness. Lewis has been exploring energetic balancing for more than 25 years and his extensive studies helped him create The AIM Program of Energetic Balancing in which over 50,000 participants worldwide have enrolled. The AIM Program has earned the endorsements of Dr. Wayne Dyer, Rev. Michael Beckwith, Marci Shimoff and Kevin Trudeau. AIM has also been featured in national magazines including Science of Mind. Lewis has always made an explicit distinction between the healing that is the natural result of a shift in consciousness as compared to the medical trio of diagnosing, treating and, hopefully, curing. That medical trio is the work of medical professionals and is done TO you. Healing, on the other hand, is definitively in the realm of spirituality and must be done BY you. Lewis points out that true healers don't actually heal you, but rather teach or inspire you to find the healing power that you naturally possess. All healing is a result of your consciousness directing your Life Force. I''ll be asking him not only to explain how the AIM program works but also how his life path has been a reflection of his values and beliefs. I'll also be asking him to share his tools for coping with stressful times.
