According to Daniel Clark, we are sometimes gifted with an invitation “to see beyond the limits of our own religious ideologies and beliefs—to see God, the world and people like we’ve never seen them before.” And that is what we are going to be doing this week as we peer over the edge of the cliff of the end of 2010 into 2011. Dan’s very popular book “Life After Religion” is subtitled “Freedom from Beliefs that Cripple the Mind and Kill the Spirit.” He tells us that we have an inner guidance sys...

Sometimes what’s going on just has the capacity to deflate us, doesn’t it? We lose our inspiration to just keep on keeping on. Well, today we are going to be talking to Dr. Jonathan Ellerby, coming back to the show for a second time today to teach us how to be inspired or re-inspired. This is not your crack-of-dawn rise and shine speech; nor is it your rah-rah motivational sales pitch. No, this is real inspiration. Inspiration that comes from the inside out. As he describes it, it is a “no-pill ...

Sara Wiseman returns to the Authentic Living Show this week to talk to us about raising the psychic child. In this day and age where intuition is becoming more and more of the norm, the intuition of our children can be warmly and supportively received, rather than, as it was in the past, shunned and dismissed. Sara’s latest book, “Your Psychic Child” teaches parents and others how to do just that. We can learn how to mirror and support the intuitive life of all children and to assist and receive...

Consciousness. The “Law of Attraction.” Clearing blocks. Shadow work. These are the terms we hear. But what do they really mean? Is consciousness the same as “getting rid of ego?” Does the law of attraction mean that we should always master our thoughts and our words? Does clearing blocks mean that we are to purify ourselves? Does shadow work mean that we clean out the shadow of all of its “negative energy?” What, after all, is “negative energy?” This show is going to challenge everything you th...

Staying present is one of the hardest things we must learn to do if we are to integrate body, mind and soul. As David Ord, our guest for today puts it, “A lot of us have moments when we are present, but we can’t sustain it throughout our workday and time with our family. We either drift into thought or we become emotionally reactive to something that upsets us.” Sustaining that presence is what Michael Brown’s book The Presence Process is all about. And David is coming today to talk to us about ...

What does it mean to forgive? Does it mean that we absolve? That we allow them to “get away with it?” If you are thinking in these terms, then you are not yet ready to forgive. Forgiveness is a process. And it really has nothing to do with the person you are forgiving—unless you are forgiving yourself. In fact, we don’t even start out that process aiming toward forgiveness. Typically, we start it off in pain. Nanice Ellis comes back to the Authentic Living Show again this year, on the day before...

Dr. Christiane Northrup is recognized both nationally and internationally as the veritable guru of women’s health. A visionary pioneer who recognizes the connection between mind, body and spirit, she has brought that connection to the world of medicine in a way that no one else has yet been able to do. She is an OB/GYN physician and author of two New York Times bestselling books, “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom” and “The Wisdom of Menopause.” Her third book, “Mother-Daughter Wisdom,” was a 2005 ...

The word “power” is fraught with all kind of connotation, including “control,” “manipulation,” “abuse,” “bullying” and yes, even the word “help.” But these are all externalized views of that word. From an internal perspective power can be seen as the attainment of an authentic stand with and for your Self. Fear, on the other hand, is the foundation from which most of us live our daily lives—whether we admit it or not. Not so long ago many of us were touting the word “fearless,” and claiming our ...

We’ve heard it again and again recently, teen suicides based on bullying, particularly the bullying of someone who is or is perceived to be gay. And then we heard Joel Burns, openly gay City Councilman from Ft. Worth, Texas, in his passionate and tearful plea to gay and lesbian teens to hold on to life—don’t let bullies drive you to suicide—because it’s going to get better. Why are these children bullied? Because we don’t know yet how to receive and accept differentness. This week, we are going ...

Though much of what we hear and see in media tells us differently, the only way to live a meaningful life is to live in poignant touch with the soul. Thomas Moore, our guest for today, is an expert on the soul. With 3 videos, 10 audio recordings and 18 books, including his original bestseller, “Care of the Soul,” and others such as “Dark Night of the Soul,” and “The Original Self,” Thomas Moore has enchanted us all. While he does not paint a pretty picture of happy-ever-after proportions, he urg...

When do we say enough is enough? In this day in which our economic crisis seems to be swallowing huge chucks of what we have previously valued, we are ramping up our schedules and our stress levels trying to get back to how it used to be. And in the process we are forgetting all about our earlier plans to pursue happiness and peace. Wayne Muller, bestselling author of Sabbath, as well as three other books: Legacy of the Heart; How, Then, Shall We Live?; and Learning to Pray, is going to challeng...

How did we come to this place in our collective psychology in which we value image more than authenticity? What do we fear our bodies can do to us—in terms of our social value? Are other people’s images of us so very important that we will kill ourselves to maintain a higher image in their eyes? How did they get to be more important than we are? Our guest today has lived through and overcome her own body image issues and now lives a happy and fulfilling life. In her book, “Love Your Body, Love Y...

What is your mythology? Do you know? Or, are you living it out as if? There are many different mythologies by which we run our lives, by which we run our economy, by which we run our politics, our religions, our fates. Even our desires are very often based in our mythologies. Could it even be that our mental/spiritual/physical/emotional health is based in our mythologies? How can we activate principles that seem to be applicable for all of us if both our cultures and we as individuals are living...

There are many out there today who call themselves healers. Some are truly gifted; some are, to put it bluntly, charlatans. Dr. Eric Pearl ran a successful chiropractic practice for 12 years when his patients started feeling his hands on them even when he wasn't touching them. He started receiving reports from them that they had been healed from devastating diseases. His work has elicited great interest from top doctors and medical researchers at hospitals and universities worldwide, and he has ...

Dr. Larry Dossey, is back for the second time to talk about his latest book, “The Science of Premonition: How Knowing the Future Can Help Us Avoid Danger, Maximize Opportunities and Create a Better Life.” Now not only do we find that premonitions are common, but we can learn of the science behind them. Dr. Dossey is known around the world for his keen ability to bring scientific understanding to spirituality and for his advocacy for the role of spirituality in healthcare and wellness. He is the ...

We tend to look at healthiness as a product of good nutrition, and a healthy dose of exercise, in combination with good genes, good medicine and good luck. Most recently, we’ve added low stress to that combination. What this means is that we are basically looking to the externals to bring us to good health. But Ivan Rados has a different take on it. Author of the book, “Health: It’s All About Consciousness,” Ivan believes that health and sickness are a reflection of our essential being. In fact,...

There are so many of you out there right now conspiring with your fantasies to write that book. You think about it and you wish for it and maybe you’ve even written some of it. But you are still uncertain. Your fears, your dreams and your obligations all line up for the midnight arguments with your soul. You feel that you were meant to write it, but well, you are stuck. This show and the upcoming event put on my Linda Joy and Lisa Tener are for you. Linda is the publisher of the women’s magazine...

Nash Mourad is a coach, corporate facilitator and trainer, who has written a book called “How to be Right About Everything: An Awakening Journey into Unlearning.” And this week we are talking to him about what it is that we are unlearning and why. He and his partner developed a firm called, Emergent Awareness through which he has served as an executive management consultant for a variety of Fortune 100 companies and government agencies. Nash wants to teach how we can improve our lives by fully a...

This whole business of relationship is pivotal point in our history. Not only are we looking at primary relationship in a whole new light as we create new ground rules for a new way of relating from love and intimacy rather than security needs, but we are also looking at all of our relationships differently. Work relationships, friendships, race relations, and issues of sexual orientation are all factoring into our new understanding of relationships. Gary Zukav’s latest book “Spiritual Partnersh...

Joan Borysenko is back this week for the third time to talk with us about guilt, for guilt can be a major block to our resilience factor. Her latest book, “It’s Not the End of the World: Developing Resilience in Times of Change” will be combined with one of her earlier books, “Guilt is the Teacher, Love is the Lesson” in an in-depth discussion of this devilish master craftsman of our lives. In the extreme, many of us live whole lifetimes driven by guilt and responsibility for other people’s stuf...

Like any new thought, humanity has had to experiment with the law of attraction for a while to see if it is really effective. And we have mixed reviews on that front. Some are saying that the law of attraction has brought them excellent results. But others are saying that they struggle and struggle to think so-called “positive” thoughts and eliminate all “negative” energy, but without much change. While this show will not debunk the law of attraction, we might need to think about it from a diffe...

This thing about staying young has become quite an important topic today, with many visiting their doctors regularly to keep up with their Botox shots and many others seeking facial change, and launching body work, vitamin and nutrition programs—all in an effort to sustain the grace of youth. But our guest today tells us that the body already knows how to stay young. She is Caroline Sutherland a medical intuitive who has written several books in a series called “The Body Knows,” the latest of th...
