Divine Ice - Paul Nicklen gives us a glimpse of Arctic wonder

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:44:00 +0000

~ I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
- John Burroughs -

Polar Obsession. What an amazing treasure awaits with this book! Paul Nicklen is my guest Thursday, 11/12/09, on Conscious Living.

The ice encrusted world he explores and shares through his lens is absolutely breathtaking. And beyond that, his encounters with the wildlife who thrive in that arctic Eden are priceless.

This is a world most cannot engage - even on a tourist trip...an ecosystem that changes as we continue to remove and/or damage all that supports it. The world Paul showcases requires a certain indomitable aptitude and ability to navigate, as well as a robust physical nature and a body thermostat comfortably set at Ice Cube.

Of stuff and things upcoming - Dr. A.C. Ross and Leslie Scott

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:40:00 +0000

The weekend flew by and it was so beautiful here. Autumn color is in full burst.

One of the highlights was the Native American showcase featuring Arvel Bird and Edgar Cruz and a book signing appearance with Dr. A.C. Ross, aka Ehanamani, author of Mitakuye Oyasin, "We are all related." (The reviews.)

I hope to check in with him in a couple of weeks for an interview and will post the date when we are set. I still have a few projects to get set up before I do any more scheduling.

This week, the guest is the creator of the game Jenga. Leslie Scott is sharing her story of what it took to "turn 54 wood blocks into a worldwide sensation" in the book About Jenga. Nearly 50 million games have been sold... an astounding success. Was it easy? No. So what did it take to make it fly? Thursday we talk.

Jenga at the office... :)

The People's Chemist says, 'You are what you eat.' - and that's the problem

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:02:00 +0000

- Our healthier ancestors consumed a mere 10 pounds of sugar annually. The average today is 150 pounds! Risk of the pandemic killers can increase by a whopping 50% due to the sugar sabotage according to the leading medical journals. - Shane Ellison - "The People's Chemist."

Check out the Conscious Living quickie interview with Shane -10/27 - for more details.

On his Blog, Shane tackles Swine Flu. Is it a real threat?

[" I don’t think American’s are going to fall for the vaccine scare, which means that the pharmaceutical pigs urging us to get the jab are gonna have a lot of unsold inventory.

Few people realize that immune function is a direct result of proper nutrient intake.

If we are not getting the right nutrients or ingesting items that deplete the body of them, our immunity fails. In this sense, immunity is a choice. You choose whether or not you’ll get the right nutrients to ward off “biological nasties” like H1N1 or any other variation of influenza…

It’s all in the book - Over-The-Counter Natural Cures."]

One product we cover in the interview is Nutritional Yeast. What is it (a) and what does it do (b) ?

A. Yeast is considered by many to be the most valuable supplement available. It is a complete protein and contains more protein than meat. Yeast is an excellent source of B-vitamins including B12 and it contains the glucose tolerance factor that helps in the regulation of blood sugar.

B. A lot. Information.

There is no supplement that can work efficiently without the necessary fuel to engage it. The food choices determine our health. Shane says if it tastes sweet - spit it out. And that will be your first act toward radical dietary realignment. Eat healthy!

-- As I say that, there is a half eaten bag of Gummy Lifesavers (now hidden to keep me from eating the rest before the Halloween trick-or-treaters carry them off!!) that I can attest made me feel much worse after I ate them... let alone the trigger to eat more is like the potato chip addiction... Sugar takes no prisoners!

Updates on guests

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:24:00 +0000

Check the Talkshoe (www.talkshoe.com) site - show number 11638 - for the most current Conscious Living guest line-up. I have had to switch a few dates around to meet schedules and make sure I have the information and confirmations ahead of time.

UPS seems to have my location in the Twilight Zone -- hmmmm... so we punt and go with the press release rather than the book.... but I really do like to read the book first. :)

Adding more content on my other blogsites and negotiating some new writing opportunities. I would like to provide more content volume but am limited to working when I can. But I am still expanding my art projects (www.wendyscoffeehouseart.com). I need a break from the words to help keep me focused.

Looking forward to interviewing Tori Hartman about her amazing color cards... see you soon.

Soaring with Eagles - Shamanic energy - clearing negative space

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 02:01:00 +0000

~ Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ~ Douglas Adams

At the same time I posted this beautiful video... my note arrived on this event.
Scroll to the bottom. Wonderful.

Five years ago it was so hard to connect with others who had undergone a dramatic shift - either spiritually or in conscious awareness. I am finding more resources to connect to with each passing day... As I come across those, I like to pass them on. Here is an excellent resource for conscious creatives. Explore. The one that resonated for me is Janet Smith Warfield.

Heads up on a great guest. David Franklin Farkas is an intuitive who offers his expertise clearing and cleaning buildings of negative... or might we say counter productive... energies. -- I call it shifting energy... In his words, here is his description -- a gifted intuitive and spiritual healer, does remote energetic healing work clearing and protecting people, places and spaces. He works on cases involving buildings, land, people, events and situations of all kinds.

-- One area of interest I like: He also looks for public service projects, especially old psychiatric, tuberculosis and other hospitals, prisons and other places where many people lived and died.

Old mill buildings, schools, museums and historic homes which have been 'repurposed' are also considered. He has worked with downtown revitalization projects to shift the movement and vitality of neighborhood business. He clears many children in need, and returning veterans at no charge.

Check out the show on Talk Shoe 10/22/09. We hope to get together again for more talks. I'll keep you posted.

Issa - A new novel about the lost years of Jesus

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:33:00 +0000

Author Lois Drake tackles the lost years of Christ in her novel Issa - the Greatest Story Never Told -- Drake says the idea for the story was inspired by her travels to Tibet and the book, The Lost Years of Jesus, by Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

Drake followed up with extensive research to create her story...marrying Christianity and Buddhism.

Ms. Drake is a lover of Tibet and its ancient culture. Together with her husband she has made numerous trips to Tibet. They founded Friendship Homes and Schools, a nonprofit organization that began by assisting orphans in Tibet and remote parts of China.

Interview today at 2pm central.

Moments with Baxter - and a Review from Carol Upton

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:52:00 +0000

In the course of doing the interviews on Conscious Living, I get to meet a lot of great people who work to set up those interviews. Carol Upton is one. When I found out most of her work focused on clients who dealt with animals, I kept thinking there must be a way I could help with that. I posted her review on Petsense.com in August --- after you see this video --- the book is even more amazing.

And this sounds like a great read. Enjoy!

MOMENTS WITH BAXTER - Comfort and Love from the World’s Best Therapy Dog
Melissa Joseph, San Diego, CA: Sage Press, 2009
Reviewed by Carol M. Upton

All over the world, the therapeutic value of dogs is gaining a higher profile. They are showing up in hospitals, nursing homes and mental health facilities, enhancing the lives of people with special needs. Baxter is a therapy dog with a strong, silent voice that knows no boundaries, yet reaches into the hearts and minds of the hospice patients he visits. He is frequently referred to as an angel.

Moments with Baxter is an inspiring collection of true short stories taken from Baxter’s peaceful interludes with those who need him most. Memories are elicited and distance gained from long-standing pain as this extraordinary dog reminds us of the incredible healing power of animals. The patients touch and talk to Baxter, find joy in the love he so freely offers, and always recognize that he is opening a door for them.

Author Melissa Joseph describes these highly emotional encounters in simple, heartfelt language.

Baxter looks deeply into each person’s eye and creates a light in the room that I assume will glow long after we depart.

Joseph frequently touches on what we know to be the unexplainable:

We are evidently now farther away from Tom’s awareness. He has made some sort of mysterious transition and Baxter is now part of his inner circle.

The reader gains the insight that Baxter lives moment to moment, just like all animals. Death is simply part of their experience and they accept it. Baxter is able to convey that acceptance with a silent, loving spirit, so that peace replaces the fear and despair with which some hospice patients are grappling. Through his devotion to his calling, Baxter lifts the pall that some of us associate with the transition from one world into the next.

Included in the last part of the book is a chapter covering what a reader needs to know if they think their own pet would make a good therapy dog. This is a useful section detailing important features of a therapy dog and his or her owner as well as certification requirements and benefits of the experience.

The patch on Baxter’s therapy jacket says “Paws Awhile for Love”. Readers of this unusual book will find themselves doing just that.

Inspired Wedding Moments -- Thank you Amy and friends!

Some days I happen upon items I really don't have a place for...but I am touched by them and some I just have to share ...

They remind me how wonderful the world we live in, how creative the people and how lucky we are to have the opportunity to access all of this extraordinary energy, enthusiasm, love and inspiration at flip of a switch, the click of a mouse.

All things 2012 - and The Twelve with William Gladstone

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:56:00 +0000

~Come out of the circle of time
And into the circle of love. ~
Rumi

Enigmatic and engaging, it was a delight to have author William Gladstone speak with me about his new book The Twelve. Drawing from his life experience, including time working on the Rod Serling show "In Search of Ancient Mysteries", and a near death experience as a teen.

Of the near death experience, he says there was very little support for that concept in the 70's and the whole thing was chalked up to lack of oxygen to the brain. The effective counter to that for him, and proof his experience had merit, was meeting another near death experiencer who had a similar version of an encounter involving a twelve scenario. His involved a sense of energy. Hers had names. The story (his personal story and the novelized version) is fascinating. The draw -- we all have the 2012 deadline.

At present, no matter what topic the book, one must have a solid marketing plan in place to launch and support it. As a writer with an extensive background in digital publishing, William is more than prepared to get the word out. He also has the film option to consider.

His ace is a blessing from the man considered to be the foremost scholar of 2012 information, Mayan Scholar Jose Arguelles, also the creator of the Harmonic Convergence event (and planning the next).

He says "The (book) proves the point: The 2012 prophecy is true -- something wonderful is going to happen in 2012, and its anticipation is seeping into all of us. The success of your work can only contribute to the mass awakening which is so essential for the opening to the higher consciousness that awaits all of us. "

Compared to The Celestine Prophecy, this book has the potential to engage the reader with a real time blockbuster ending... in the current process of unfoldment. Here's to joining the celebration - beginning in August 2012.

“A is and is not equal to A” -- read 12thebook.

Animal Communicator Nancy Kaiser has a new column on Petsense Blogspot

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:25:00 +0000

~ Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. ~ Anatole France ~

Shifting Consciousness - and manifesting change

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:52:00 +0000

~ Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. - Carl Sagan

The shift we seem to be intuitively gravitating toward and tapping into in consciousness has manifested at least one inspiring movie challenging us to upgrade our thoughts - to believe in our future and in the role of the individual as an agent of change in the process. Where is this new sense of global oneness taking us? That is entirely up to us.

Related to that, I had a wonderful interview on Conscious Living. Author of The Business of Changing Lives and the founder of ThinkQuest, Allan Weis had a dream. The result of which has impacted the future of hundreds, if not thousands of kids and their communities.

His philanthropic vision is worth modeling and a testament to the impact that one person can make in organizing, networking and banding together with like-minded and industrious others to pay it forward.

It takes more than money to seed a creative endeavor. It takes time, energy and active human support.

Now here's the movie tease to add another spark of inspiration for big changes.

Conscious Living -- Allan Weis update -- wednesday at 4pm C

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:19:00 +0000

Okay - this is the fun of pre-setting the show...the system locked us out...

And I am so Glad Allan was up for a second try!! We rescheduled ... sssooooo - tomorrow at 4 pm central time...I will be talking with Allan Weis. (KU grad!)

Since we had to set up the next time I had a chance to preview and ask a question or two. Got to talk about the future of technology... amazing stuff that will make a user feel like they are immersed in an atom or a Doctor will be able to get inside the body for a close up to see the textures of the organs and determine whether they are healthy... absolutely incredible.

Sorry we missed today -- maybe it's for the best. Rather than ten minutes - we get to talk for 30... :) The future looks incredible!!

His book... The Business of Changing Lives. And from the reviews I have read -- seeing what Allan has done inspires others to jump on to the Change wagon. ;)

ThinkQuest Founder Allan Weis and The Business of Changing Lives

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 03:24:00 +0000

What a wonderful vision and concept -- ThinkQuest is a project that gave and continues to give --- even though the program is on a hiatus at the moment. Those students who have been touched by it are out touching others.... and that wave will make a huge impact.

Provider of Funds for projects like ThinkQuest: Oracle.org

And some of the thrills of victory for the winners!

Allan Weis has a new book - The Business of Changing Lives. Here's an Amazon subscriber's review of the book -

"M. Roberts (REAL NAME) - Amidst the daily barrage of selfishness in the news, reading this book was a breath of fresh air and inspiring actions by Allan Weis and his colleagues and the many, many young participants worldwide. Weis provides an inside look at the fascinating evolution of the internet both on a technical level and a sociological or business level. His many specific examples and illustrative sidebars give substance to the story. Weis' company took the unusual approach of trying to use all its money to do good with the objective of having no money but a meaningful legacy at the end. I found this both an easy and compelling read."

Join me for a conversation with Allan - 9/22/09 - about his thoughts on his project, how he views the world and the kids who have the power to change it!

Dog and God...and Gracie

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 22:45:00 +0000

Today - I kissed the fur on my wonderful pal Gracie's neck... and hugged her as I held her close to me. I whispered to her in her ear... "I need you to know.. I love you very much... always..."

She squirmed in my arms and turned her face toward me. Wriggling a bit more, she touched her face to mine and licked me.... one of the few times she has ever done so... on the mouth.

It almost made me cry.

Spiritual Film Festival in Sun Valley

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 23:10:00 +0000

If you have time to squeeze in a getaway to enjoy the fall beauty - Here's a suggestion to help rest, relax, rejuv and restore .... The Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival.

Event speakers include Stephen Simon, Co-founder of Spiritual Cinema Circle and Jim Walsh, Founder and CEO, HESA Institute.

Jim will be speaking about the work of the HESA Institute and Intentional Chocolate, at the film screening, Cracking the Cosmic Egg, an introduction to a new frontier where science and spirituality are combining to improve the human condition.

You may also want to be there for an audience sampling of one of first prototype products to come out of HESA's technology-Intentional Chocolate. The study on that showed that people who ate chocolate infused with good intentions from another actually had an improved response.... fascinating stuff.

Re-claiming your mind power with conscious programming tips and tools from Eldon Taylor

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:12:00 +0000

~ We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive. - Albert Einstein -

Eldon Taylor has made a life study of the human mind - with doctoral degrees in psychology and metaphysics. He is a Fellow with the American Psychotherapy Association (APA) and a nondenominational minister.

The fascinating part, while completing his education, Eldon was a practicing criminalist for over ten years, conducting and supervising investigations, and testing to detect deception. His earliest work with changing inner beliefs was conducted from this setting, including a double blind study conducted at the Utah State Prison, 1986-87

Choices and Illusions was the book that introduced me to Eldon Taylor. I like his newest book even better. Mind Programming: From Persuasion and Brainwashing to Self-Help and Practical Metaphysics is a very good tool to help identify and disengage from the constant cues and subprograms running in our daily lives. It is an encouragement to stop operating our life on autopilot.

One of the amazing things about the spiritual and metaphysical jumpstart I got from my nightlight connection was a very disciplined instruction on how to better connect with my own inner guidance.

I had to learn how to reformat my brain harddrive to redirect and channel my conscious awareness to actively filter some of the daily message onslaught and then to shift focus to better engage new abilities and new conscious programming.

There is never a time when the mind is truly off but it can be contained and focused in more productive ways when we identify where our current programs are running amuck.

Paraphrasing from Eldon's web information - ["We all have dreams, goals and ambitions and most of us know the power of positive thinking. Why then do most of us fail at putting this into effect?

While you may know that your thoughts create your reality, what you do not know is the incredible amount of research that has been carried out simply to discover ways to control your every thought and desire. Tweaking your psyche has become big business. You may think you're immune, but you are not! Never again will you be able to ignore the truth-your very thoughts are not your own! But what can you do about it?

In Mind Programming, Eldon Taylor not only exposes the massive efforts to program your thinking, he also provides you with all the tools to take back control.

Learn how to hypnotize yourself and program your own subconscious. Access your higher self through automatic writing, mind mapping and dowsing. Uncover the truly practical approach to metaphysics that will give you the connection you have been looking for."]

Of the glowing reviews, this one stands out --"Mind Programming" is a masterpiece. Eldon bravely demystifies mental manipulation so you take charge of your thoughts and actions. I highly recommend it. - Shelley Stockwell-Nicholas, Ph.D. - President of the International Hypnosis Federation. -

In Mind Programming: From Persuasion and Brainwashing to Self-Help and Practical Metaphysics, Eldon provides the insight, information, and easy-to-use methods that will empower you to realize the life of your dreams.

If you can't buy the book just yet, start with the material on his website or on YouTube. The information will at least enlighten you as to options available for shutting off or being more selective in regard to what you choose to fill your IV drip on the daily information glut.

Going with the flow - Manifesting Life

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:34:00 +0000

Your mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. -
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. -

As I have shifted to incorporate more of the metaphysical topics on Conscious Living, the downloads have continued to increase.

It would seem there is a growing interest in conscious manifestation. I don't have plans at this time to make a connection with Esther and Jerry Hicks but I do know many people who meet to share and discuss their views on the subjects presented. They have a keen interest in their information and have found it helpful in addressing difficult issues in a more productive and empowering way.

_ For over 20 years, Esther has translated blocks of thought from "Non-Physical Source Energy" - which she also identifies as her "Inner Being" or "Soul" - and who refer to themselves in the plural as "Abraham" (no relation to the Biblical figure). _

I identify with her approach but I do call what I do channeling and I have a visible counterpart with the electrical display through the nightlight. My non-physical source prefers to be called "Energy" - the group term is "Messengers of Light".

Whatever the process of connection is called - it allows us to get results that put us in touch with higher guidance.

Here is Esther on Going with the flow -- 2007

Esther & Jerry Hicks are the authors of numerous books based on the Teachings of Abraham and their latest book, "Money and The Law of Attraction", reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

Haunted Kentucky horse farm for sale - ghosts and new vacuum included

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:06:00 +0000

~ Boldness in business is the first, second, and third thing. - H. G. Bohn -

Haunted hotels have no trouble using what might otherwise seem a checkered reputation as a tourist draw, And it would appear the lure is becoming even more attractive with the success of the ever growing crop of paranormal shows on television.

In places like The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado and The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the ghost tour is enough to ensure a mini paranormal buzz for the novice ghost hunter but some jaded souls may not be satisfied with such a short time to test their metaphysical metal. Rather than a brief visit, they may actually want a more challenging engagement.

So, while spending a night or two at a haunted hotel is a close enough encounter for most, those who have yet to be convinced or are undaunted with the potential for unseen company might have no problem considering rooming with ghosts full time.

Enter Lura Kecthledge who has a listing for her Haunted Kentucky Horse Farm on eBay. The sale price includes all contents of the house... "including a new vacuum."

I spoke with Lura and she was very candid about the spirits who hang out with her. She says, in the seven years of living on her Kentucky horse farm, she has had plenty of ghost encounters and can't honestly say it isn't haunted. To that end, she's even willing to take a lie detector test (at someone else's expense) to make her case.

Ketchledge is also actively seeking a literary agent and hopes there might even be a movie deal somewhere down the line. She says the house has helped inspire her three books on the paranormal and insists she has a wealth of ideas as a result of her life experience with ghosts. Three books might be just the beginning.

At the time of this writing, there is no buyer for the property; but there must be some interest. In three weeks, the eBay listing generated 4 thousand views.

Selling a property that is considered to be haunted can be tricky. Laws vary from state to state in terms of what must be disclosed. Some property owners have intentionally kept low key and said they really couldn't be sure one way or the other. Besides, not everyone believes in ghosts.

Whatever one believes, one can still give Lura credit for laying all her paranormal cards on the table and creating a winning, quirky, property pitch in a tight housing market. She's managed to generate interest and interviews with all of her local television media outlets. It's just a matter of time before the national shows follow suit. Hopefully, the ghosts know how to pass the inspection.

Here's the clip of Lura and her home I tracked down after I stumbled upon her "So You Think You're a Psychic" vid on YouTube.

Love life ... and heal

noreply@blogger.com (wendy) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 23:19:00 +0000

~ Almost everything I've learned about life, I've learned from dying. - a favorite quote of Laura Alden Kamm

"Laura Alden Kamm is an acclaimed medical intuitive, remote viewer, author and spiritual teacher. In 1982, Laura awoke one Sunday morning with mind-searing pain in her head. Within 11 days she was dead, her spirit crossing over to the other side."

When I first connected with Laura, I knew we shared a common trait - enthusiasm for living. I have not died but I have had extraordinary paranormal and metaphysical experiences and awarenesses that have allowed me to gain new insight about how connected we are at a soul level, how much our thoughts determine our present and how what we believe can lift us higher if we don't get caught up in what we think we know. Life is a playground for learning.

No state is beyond healing, but the outcome may not present a manifest form on the material plane. Regardless, we always have the power to determine our attitude. And when we are truly healed -- we have no attachment to a particular state of being. We simple are. Where that takes us... is where we are going.

Again from Laura's info - Many truths are illuminated when you die. Two of which are: No matter what happens, you are always okay. Secondly, that you are forever, forever loved. When you live from these truths in each moment, you will truly know freedom and peace.

Site info: "Laura has a way of assisting people in turning over the rocks and stones within their lives. She assists them in looking at the shadowed side of things and the emotions and behaviors that have contributed to their issues. Although her work addresses the body and its physical issues, in actuality, this is soul-level work.

Laura believes it is the body that speaks to us, in both whispers and screams; hence, it is the body that is the commonly used mouthpiece through which we can hear the voice of our soul, attempting to direct our lives toward our most organic and authentic way of being. We are the healers and we need to listen to the voice deep within."

What exactly does a medical intuitive do? Laura offers a Q and A on her site. Answers. To learn even more about Laura, what she does and how she views life, explore her site. Energymedicine.org.

She'll soon be doing her own podcast and plans to start that project in September. I'll let her fill you in when we talk this week on Conscious Living.

We plan to continue connecting as well. I love the exchange of ideas and perspectives. Healing is a daily process. When we are given extraordinary abilities, it is good to have an opportunity to share that with others who prefer to skip a near death encounter as a trip of the trigger to a more awakened state.

I'll shift gears and move to another aspect of healing more focused on the mental awareness aspect. How to start the healing process for that? Be here now. (Ram Dass) Focus on all that you are in this moment and expand that to incorporate all that you have yet to know and yet to become.

What might we have forgotten in this present state of duality, or separation from all-that-is that can be remembered from a higher state of knowing or an afterlife encounter? We are one.

Spiritual teacher Ram Dass offers a perspective on conscious awareness and what it means to be here now.

Ram Dass was asked if he considers himself to be enlightened. The condensed answer: "What do I know about enlightenment? Every day I’m still learning, and I want to keep sharing and learning with people. But I’m still thinking about enlightenment, so I guess I’m not enlightened."
