Empowered Caregiving - Thriving, Not Just Surviving: A Conversation with Cindy Laverty Athletes need coaches because the job they do requires concentrated attention, hard work, and wise attention to their mental and physical balance. So do stage performers and top executives. Caregivers need coaches too – yet few get the kind of support they need. No wonder 20% of caregivers are clinically depressed, 16% become ill, and all are at greater risk for cognitive decline, loss of short term memory, 23% more stress hormones, 15% decline in antibody function, etc. Cindy Laverty suddenly found herself falling down a rabbit hole as she had to quit her job and let go of her lifestyle to care for a chronically ill relative. She realized what a need there was, and when her care-giving challenge ended she set out to help others by developing an effective way to help others in a similar situation – and she wrote an easy-to-read book, Caregiving – Eldercare Made Clear & Simple. In this conversation we will examine the

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #184 was taped on September 14 2015 on a summery evening at Singing Brook Studio and features Mariam Massaro on vocals, twelve string acoustic guitar, kalimba, native flute and ukelele, Dameron Midgett on mandolin, banjo, crystal bowls and didjeridoo, Robert Sherwood on piano and engineering and Craig Harris playing marimba and congas. Mariam’s “Sharhi Rabe, Blue Lotus Queen”, a raga in D, begins today’s show in a mystical, drifting space inhabited by Mariam’s twelve string and then by degrees a driving jam powered by low piano figures against impassioned congas and electronically-treated banjo from Dameron. “Holding Onto Your Dreams” follows, an inspiring song from Mariam that boasts a minor key folk arrangement and a hopeful, emphatic lyric. “Mateo Gabriel” is a particularly special song from Mariam, celebrating the birth of Paris Shortridge and Pedro Fernandez’ first son, a birth midwifed by Mariam. “Watching The Sea Sunset” is a beautiful and mysterious creation built on a

Violence & Versus Reverence for Life Violence and all the headlines versus reverence for life Why do we choose to seek revenge rather than heal our lives and relationships? When is anger appropriate? How can we all make a difference?

The Gift of Our Compulsions, Our Core Compulsion is To Struggle Mary O’Malley is an author, teacher and counselor whose work awakens others to the joy of being fully alive. Her inspired and transformative approach to compulsions offers a way to replace fear, hopelessness and struggle with ease, well being and joy. Barely surviving her childhood, at 26 she found herself lost in a labyrinth of self-hatred, confusion, and despair. Then one spring morning she walked into a room where Joel Kramer was to teach a hatha yoga seminar. As soon as he began to speak, Mary became intensely alert and deeply fascinated. As she listened to what he had to say, it felt like her life had been lived inside of a b-grade, black and white film, and all of a sudden it became a full color, four star movie. She felt vibrant and alive, curious rather than reactive, compassionate rather than judgmental, and trusting rather than fearing. Even though the years of living in deep despair were very painful, they all now made sense. In fact

He is an international authority on biofeedback and self-regulation.In this lively conversation we will explore some of the latest discoveries in biofeedback and tools for self-healing. In a world where our health care system is actually a “sick-care” system that requires us to be ill in order to function Dr. Peper focuses on the inner potential we all have to respond to disease and illness. We will explore some of the powerful ideas in his latest book, Fighting Cancer: A Nontoxic Approach to Treatment, written with Robert Gorter, MD. The model presented here is science based, and appears to be effective, humane, nontoxic, and stunningly successful for a wide range of cancers. Supporting the immune system to fight cancer from within is critical to complete care for the patient, and Fighting Canc

"Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #183 begins with the lazy, hazy strains of Mariam’s “Sunshine Drenched Day” played by the Gaea Star Band with Mariam on vocals and baritone ukelele, Craig Harris on marimba and Robert Sherwood on piano. Recalling a hypnotic summer reverie, the piece drifts from theme to theme like a bee to flowers before coming to rest on a lovely, energized piano figure. We drift into “Waiting For The Moon To Shine”, another drifting, hazy piece that rises up around a never-changing piano ostinato from Bob, and features another beautiful celebration of summer from Mariam. A cunning series of reharmonizations from Bob turn this pretty piece in on itself one last time and we float away as if on the mist. To celebrate the life of Wayne Dyer we offer “Intention”, a new song from Mariam that binds a veiled and hypnotic groove from Craig on congas and Bob on piano to Mariam’s inspiring requiem. A disciplined, Minimalist cycle yields to wild exploration and a gradually quickening pulse until we re

Why Love Never Dies! Even For An Agnostic with Ken Page LCSW On September 17, in honor of the "annibirthary" of my beloved husband's bodily departure from the earth plane, I invited Ken Page to join me to talk about the "loss" of a loved one. Because Ken fell so in love with "Love Never Dies" and our continuing love story, he generously asked if we could devote the show to talking about my book and our story. Ken is an agnostic who says he isn't sure if there is an afterlife! Yet, Ken openly shares his own experience with my Dialoguing with the Departed technique. As he reveals, he was able to heal a relationship with a loved one in spirit using my technique even though he still has doubts as to the existence of the afterlife! Ken's experience is a wonderful confirmation for you, proving that my Dialoguing with the Departed technique will enable you to heal unfinished business with those in spirit even if you don't believe in the afterlife. Join me for a fascinating discussion with Ken and see how the

Childhood Molestation to Healing Spirit to Sassy Shoes~ A Conversation with Margot Silk Forest About 20 years ago my then 11-year-old daughter said to me in that oh-so-innocent way kids can do, “Daddy, when I look in the faces of grown-ups sometimes I see a very sad child. Isn’t there something we can do to help them?” How could I possibly say no to her? The outcome of that conversation was the CD entitled Inner Child Healing. It’s goal was to speak to that child within coming to give its support, comfort, love, and healing. What was unique about this program compared to all the others I have done, was that it not only included guidance into a state of deep relaxation, once the listener reaches that state of relaxation they hear the voice of my daughter speaking directly to the inner child: “I am a child, like you, and I know how sad you can be…”. Our idea was that instead of hearing an adult speaking to the inner child, the listener’s inner child might be more open to hearing the voice of another child. C

David Christopher author of a Nautilus Silver award winning book, The Holy Universe: A New Story of Creation for the Heart Soul and Spirit. The Nautilus award is the most prestigious book award in transformational literature. He describes the reason for writing The Holy Universe and says: “Like so many people who left the faiths of their youth, as an adult I yearned to believe in something. But as the religious interpretations of the scriptures proved deeply unsatisfying to me, so too, did the cold, factual stories of modern science fail to speak to my spirit. I struggled with being in an unjust world seemingly bent on ecological self-destruction. I craved spiritual direction that encompassed more than self-help, a story that could help me create meaningful work for myself that made a difference in a world of mass extinctions, deep injustices and spiritual poverty
