Dr. Ben Lerner is America's Maximized-Living Mentor, and author of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Christian Booksellers Association bestselling book Body by God: The Owner’s Manual for Maximized Living and the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall-Street Journal Best-seller One Minute Wellness. His breakthrough strategies for total health and well-being are the foundation to his thriving local practice in Celebration and the many clinics he owns and consults for around the world.  

An academic all-American wrestler in college, he has served as physician for the US wrestling teams in six World Team competitions and two Olympiads. At seminars, conferences, and media appearances throughout North America, he shows people how to apply the four laws of Olympic success to achieve optimal health, outrageous happiness, and prosperity. Dr. Ben lives in Celebration, Florida with his wife, Dr. Sheri Lerner. He is the proud father of Skylar,  Nicole, and Cael.         

Dr. Ben's passion for Maximized Living is rooted in personal tragedy: he watched his father die at the age of 52, and his mother suffer a stroke shortly thereafter. In the midst of these traumatic events, he realized that his parents’ poor health was not the result of a single problem—instead they needed to eat better, exercise more, be less stressed, and manage their time better.

It was this quest for a holistic approach to sustainable health—maximized living—that propelled Ben Lerner, first to major in nutrition and psychology at the University of Albany in New York, and then go into Chiropractic at Life University in Marietta, GA. In Chiropractic he discovered a proven pathway to build health instead of merely treating disease.

Seeing hundreds of thousands of patients from all over the world over the last 15 years, he’s witnessed firsthand the frustration of his patients as they tried their hardest and yet failed to make the lifestyle changes they so desperately desired. His compassion for his patients propelled him to develop the attainable, step-by-step methods that are found in his ground-breaking books and the cutting edge care found in his centers.

His Center in Celebration, a prototype for Centers For Maximized Living world-wide, specializes in spinal reconstruction and rehabilitation, scoliosis correction, and nutritional testing and treatment for both children and adults.  The particular focus is on serious cases that have not found help from traditional medicine and ordinary Chiropractic care.

Karen Abrams first came to Theta Healing after watching a friend completely transform her life. Through Theta, Karen gained immediate and lasting relief from chronic health issues that had overwhelmed her for six years.

Not only did it have a profound effect on her physical health, but Theta also helped heal Karen’s personal relationships and bring her a welcome sense of inner calm. It expanded her educational businesses—she began to get a more steady flow of clients and money. Her creative work as a singer-songwriter reached new heights. She started consciously creating her own success.

Inspired by the changes in her own life, Karen began to study Theta intensively and is now a Master Theta Healer and certified instructor. Over the past 8 years, she has filled her practice with clients and healers from around the world.

Listen to Karen’s Midlife Miracle Radio interview, “Finding Courage to Pursue Dreams” with host Moira Shepard (MP3 format recommended for high speed connections only).

Background

Karen’s Theta Healing practice has been years in the making. A UCLA graduate in Psychology, Karen honed her listening and observing skills through her extensive experience in the education field. From middle school pupils to university students, from top private schools to struggling public schools, Karen has worked with a broad range of students in diverse environments for 30 years.

Her background in education programming is both qualitative (she developed programs in stress management and confidence building) and quantitative (in 1993 she founded Upgrade Academic Coaching, a company dedicated to teaching students to improve their test-taking test performance, concentration, and study techniques).

All this, coupled with her sense of humor and her ongoing commitment to personal growth make her a natural Theta Healing practitioner and instructor.

Inspired by the deep devotional mood of Indian singing and music, Jaya Lakshmi began leading kirtan with harmonium and 12 string guitar and writing her own devotional songs in the early 1990′s on the island of Hawaii, shortly after receiving harinam initiation from Srila Govinda Maharaj, a great Vaisnava saint from West Bengal, India, who graciously bestowed on her the name “Jaya Lakshmi”, which means “victory to the goddess Lakshmi”, the Hindu goddess of fortune and spiritual wealth.

She has since created 4 solo albums on Sequoia Records* and recently released the double disc album ‘Live at the Altar of Love’ June 2011 in collaboration with her partner Ananda. She is also known as the lead singer and songwriter for the techno-tribal group ‘Lost at Last’ that toured the US West and produced 3 albums during the years of 1997-2004. She continues to explore the format of mixing of electronica and sacred chant (‘kirtronica’) through composing and performing with Ableton LIVE.

Her ecstatic singing and kirtan leading, often accompanied by other talented artists, has had a powerful effect amongst various communities in the islands of Hawaii, the West Coast, and Europe, always creating a deep sense of intimacy with the divine. She has a unique style that blends beauty, power and purity to create a truly transcendental sound driven by her deep connection with spirit. A gifted songwriter, she weaves English, Sanskrit, and prayers of other spiritual traditions with musical influences from India, indigenous trance, Celtic, psychedelic and folk rock.

She has sang on stage with Jai Uttal, Shimshai, Tina Malia, Dave Stringer, Phil Lesh, and Benjy and Heather Wertheimer among other great artists and played for many yoga classes and retreats with well known teachers such as Saul David Raye, Sianna Sherman, Janet Stone, Pete Guinosso, and Dawn Cartwright.

* Her four solo studio albums Ocean of Mercy (2003), Jewel of Hari (2004) and Sublime (2008) and Radiance (2009) are available on Sequoia Records, all magnificently embellished by the fine guitar and sarod work of Deva Priyo and tabla master Daniel Paul. On Sublime also featured are bansuri flute player Manose, Ananta on violin, Yoko Silk on cello, and Luna Marcus on support vocals.

As a vocal artist she is featured on Steve Gordon’s Drum Prayer (2002, Sequoia Records) and William Ackerman’s Hearing Voices (2001, RCA/Windham Hill records), and co-produced the track ‘Tantroktam Devi Suktam’ with Ben Leinbach on his new compilation album ‘Sangha’ (2011 White Swan Records)

Since coming together with Ananda in November 2010,  she has been steadily involved in their collaboration of sacred music and creating Altar of Love Immersions which involve teaching yoga together, performing music and holding ceremony.

She has practiced Hatha yoga regularly for over 16 years, diving into Anusara yoga since 2007, and practicing Kundalini yoga daily since partnering with Ananda.

The mother of two beautiful daughters, Jaya Lakshmi is also the Special Events Representative at Luna & Larry’s Coconut Bliss, currently based in Eugene, Oregon.
