David Lion is a gifted young man in whose specialty is helping people find their way and reconnect to their soul essence.
He specializes in helping purpose-driven people who are willing to make changes in their lives by helping them become clear on their blockages and by tapping them more deeply into their deepest desires, truths, power and potential.
While he was always intuitive and spiritually connected in his own way, he didn’t always know it. For him, he thought, “this is how everybody is”.
He spent a good portion of his life dedicated to the arts of magic and hypnosis, passionate about inspiring others and demonstrating the impossible. At the time, his only desire was to make people feel good and inspire possibility.
Little did he expect, magic would take him on a journey that would awaken secrets and gifts inside of him that he never thought possible.
On 1/11/2012, David met his first mentor, a man named Alex.
Seeing David’s purpose and potential, he took him under his wing to help further awaken his intuitive gifts and abilities.
After nearly 4 years of intensive and often rigorous training, David began to evolve from student to master - rediscovering the abilities that he had as a child, but that he had long forgotten about.
He simply called this discovery “Magic”
At that moment, it became clear to him that his higher purpose was to reconnect others to their “magic” and to make magic normal again - like he believes it was in ancient times.
Through his mastery of the mind and expertise as a mentor, David has already awakened and re-aligned thousands of souls, both synchronistically and through the way in which he creates his living. However, what brings us here to these words is that he has recently been feeling himself very strongly called to step out of the underground world and take his teachings to the masses.
In this new chapter, David wishes not only to help the spiritually open get more in sync with their soul selves and abilities, but to help mentor the current and future spiritual teachers and leaders of the world with the hopes of ushering in a new age of spirituality.
One where magic is natural and happiness is more common. All through sharing the wisdom and messages he’s been receiving of the new wave to come.
What’s unique about David’s methods is that his teachings are extremely grounded and practical. No previous knowledge of spirituality is necessarily required as his approach is what he refers to as “no fluff”.
What we personally found so appealing about David’s ways are his emphasis on the necessity of fun. This offers a whole new twist in spirituality that will not only unlock more of the human/spiritual potential, but allows us to break away from the old modalities of the mind and the idea of spiritual practice being so “serious”.
It is with this in mind that we would like to introduce you to our son.
He is a special boy, as are the rest of you, and so we ask that you treat him well and as one of your own.
We look forward to the journey that you will all usher in together.
In light, love and happiness.
We wish you well,
Isis.

He condenses and simplifies abstract metaphysical concepts and powerful success principles, making this life-changing information accessible to everyone. James has thus far written ten books. You can see James in the groundbreaking docudrama, Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy.
(Feel free to use or not use that last sentence as you see fit.)
Regarding questions/talking points:
A great reference for talking points is to just refer to the table of contents of my book for subject ideas to talk about. Here are the titles of those 20 chapters for your easy reference: Desire; Belief; Expectancy; Money Mindset; Money Goals; Think End Results; Think and Feel As If; Speak As If; Act As If; Affirmations; Visualization; Environment; Organization; Laws of Money; Intuition; Plans; Right Livelihood; Self-Image; Personal Energy; Radiate Financial Increase.
And here are 7 possible questions
1. Attracting money with mind power--that's quite a concept. What would you say to people who are wondering if that is really even possible?
2. Is this basically another form of "positive thinking?"
3. Belief seems to play a big part in what you teach. What is the importance of belief in the process of attracting money?
4. And can you explain what exactly you mean by the term "money mindset" as you use it in your book?
5. In chapter eight you write about the "speak as if" technique. What exactly does that mean, and how does the way we speak affect the way we attract money?
6. I think the "act as if" technique is one that students of metaphysics should be familiar with. How does that apply to the task of attracting money with mind power?
7. The use of affirmations seems to be popular these days. How does one use affirmations to create better financial circumstances?

Nine years ago, this October 28th, I finished treatment for iiic colon cancer. I was 47, and had been a Resource Specialist for over 25 years, mostly in San Diego. But my chances of recurrence were high, so I retired early, thinking that I had about five years to live (if I was lucky). Chemotherapy was devastating to me and not having a job was depressing and scary. I worked at home to rebuild my strength and my life’s purpose. Always a yoga enthusiast, I found I couldn’t do what I was used to doing. Others must be having the same issue – trying to find a way back to a ‘new normal’? I became a yoga teacher and yoga activist. I am a listserv consultant on many cancer sites and made a yoga cd, gave away over 3,000. The YCS cd is now available for free download, and in Spanish, too. Russian is the next language and I hope to have it translated into as many languages as possible. I speak at cancer symposiums and teach YCS yoga in San Diego. I am putting a 45 hour teacher training on line by January 2013. We hear so much about yoga to rebuild and regain strength, but for me, it was about dealing with the emotional, physical and psychological effects of cancer where yoga has done its greatest healing. I specialize in teaching patients in therapy and long-term treatment.
Jean Di Carlo-Wagner, M.A., E-RYT500, yoga therapist is a 12-year colorectal cancer survivor (2003). She used yoga to help herself regain a 'new normal' and then became a yoga teacher to help other survivors. Her work is free to cancer patients at YogaBeing.net. Jean attends cancer conferences and speaks on the benefits of yoga for cancer survivors. Survivor, advocate, activist, teacher and friend.

So I never did really give it a go. Maybe someday.
Lisa"

- Laura Van Tyne is a psychic and former public-school teacher. One morning she discovered her daughter could see and talk to ghosts and other beings. Many of these beings were nefarious and soon their home turned into a “house of horrors” with sleepless nights and many events they could never share with family and friends. Psychic ability, spirituality and karmic laws are tied together. She shares that when we begin to understand how they work, we gain insights that are crucial to our soul evolution and spiritual paths.
