Guest Occupation: Quantum Energy Practitioner
Guest Biography:

Chris Kehler is a quantum energy practitioner/healer who specializes in finding the trouble areas in the body and the stressors within that area by using the pendulum and chart method of dowsing.

After working 30 years in the printing & newspaper industry, Chris retired in 2007, a door opened for Chris which would lead him into the world of energy healing. Realizing that his intuitive nature was more than just coincidence, Chris began taking courses in many different modalities. To his credit, Chris has found great success and certification in Dowsing (pendulum), Radionics, Healing with metaphysical tools, Quantum Touch, Muscle testing (applied kinesiology), Foot bath detox and Live blood analysis.

Chris has learned very quickly that when working with universal energies, one must think not just outside the box, but WAY outside the box. By this we mean that all possibilities need to be considered when working with a person’s ill health. Not only are things like virus’s and infections tested for, but, also “off the wall“ possibilities like: entities, aliens, demons, karmic debt and how well your body is grounded to the earth are considered.

After the problem area and stressors have been located, the “frequencies” of the stressors can be neutralized with the use of Krystaline metaphysical tools and Radionics. With this protocol, it is possible for pains and ailments to be alleviated within a short period of time.

Chris's work has become a worldwide phenomenon in energetic and remote-distance healing as he works with anyone and everyone in the entire world via Skype and telephone, which has gained him and his clinic worldwide notoriety.

Guest Occupation: Aboriginal Shaman, Holographic Kinetics, Dreamtime Healer
Guest Biography:

Steve Richards, the Australian born-Aboriginal Shaman who created “Holographic Kinetics” developed Quantum Dreamtime Healing and teaches people around the globe.  His website offers a wealth of material that is distilled from aboriginal healing going back tens of thousands of years.  

Dreamtime Healing using Holographic Kinetics is an advanced Aboriginal healing technique based on an ancient understanding of Lore. This healing modality can assist people to clear their issues by helping them to access the causes of their problems. The causes may be in this life, a past life or in one of their ancestors lives and Holographic Kinetics can help to bring them back into balance. It can also assist to clear inter-dimensional interference from a persons energy field. Steve Richards, the founder of Holographic Kinetics introduces this technique and talks about the need for us to heal our spirits from the trauma that we have carried with us through time.

​​EL–In HK, there is a similarity with Dr. Corrado Malanga’s liberation methods in that the soul/spirit must be connected with first, after which understanding on the interference issues arise through the deeper connection with Soul/Spirit. However, when this connection takes place, the heart center is “the portal to the Soul” and feelings may arise to be processed.

Steve created a free YouTube channel with a 14-part video series.  Part One, the Introduction:

Guest Biography:

On Sunday, May 25, 2014 - Professor Lois Weiner, PhD will be back - but from England - with her guest, Mary Compton, President of Teacher Solidarity to continue speaking about the global assault on teaching, teachers and their unions.

About Teacher Solidarity - see more at: http://http://www.teachersolidarity.com

"Education in almost every country in the world is subject to the grip of neo-liberal education 'reform' which is slowly starving out public schooling, promoting privatisation, destroying teacher professionalism and aims only to produce a minimally educated workforce, which can read instructions and advertisements but is discouraged from thinking critically about the world.

Teachersolidarity is an independent website which records the resistance to such reform of teachers, their unions, communities and researchers, who are fighting to defend public and democratic education. It aims to bring such people together, through sharing experiences, learning from one another and giving and receiving solidarity."

Lois Weiner is a professor of education at New Jersey City University, where she coordinates a Master's degree in Urban Education for experienced teachers. She has published widely on urban teacher education, school reform, and teacher unionism and is a past president of the Special Interest Group on teachers' work and teachers unions of the American Educational Research Association. She taught high school for 15 years, in California and New York, and was an activist in the teachers union. Currently she is a member of the New Politics editorial board and maintains a website with information about the global project to de-professionalize teaching.

Her Story: "Throughout my work life, as a classroom teacher and union officer, then college professor and researcher, I’ve believed that teachers need to work with parents as respectful partners and stand up for social justice. I think transforming teachers unions is an essential part of that project. When teachers unions live up to their potential, they plant the seed of democracy in the schools, giving teachers voice. That’s one reason the unions are being attacked so viciously in the media.

But democracy at the school place also means sharing power with parents, community, and students. As a former teacher and parent of a child in the NYC schools, I’ve seen the inequality of the system and the marginalization of critics. It’s easy under these conditions for parents to blame teachers - and vice versa - for what are actually the system’s failings. That’s what occurs in New York City, and it’s a dynamic we have to stop. Teachers Unite, from its inception, has been committed to bringing teachers, students, parents, and community together as allies in fighting for social justice in the schools and in our city.

Today more than ever we need to create mutually respectful relations between teachers unions and communities who want quality schools for their children. Many teachers are fearful of speaking out for kids. Others are just starting to realize the extent of the danger facing us. We need to build a social movement that pushes back on reforms that use the rhetoric of equal opportunity to privatize our schools, increase competition for scarce resources, and worsen conditions for the vast majority of students.

Teachers Unite embodies my goals for education, and I am proud to have served on its Board of Directors. I think its work is so essential to New York City that I make it the recipient of the royalties from my new book, “The future of our schools. Teachers unions and social justice.” We need to work fast and smart to save public education in NYC, and I think Teachers Unite is one of our best hopes to do that."

Guest Biography:

Tina Malia’s prodigious talent spans many musical genres and disciplines. As a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer she has distinguished herself in styles ranging from pop to world devotional to electronic. Her own diverse and growing catalog of albums is complemented by studio and live work with iconic artists such as Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Jai Uttal, Kenny Loggins, India.Arie, Idan Raichel and Bassnectar.

The other unifying factor in Tina’s musical universe is her vision — an all-encompassing artistic perspective that embraces many of the world’s musical cultures, languages and spiritual traditions. 

Creativity and diversity are her very lifeblood. Of Korean and Yugoslavian descent, Tina was tutored in classical piano and voice from an early age by her mother. But it was her dad who fostered her interest in choral singing and popular music forms.

Most recently Mr. Martell garnered worldwide attention by recreating a working model of one of science’s most profound mysteries – the “Baghdad Battery”. Residing in the national museum of Iraq, the discovery of this 2,000 year old device suggests the modern day battery was not invented in 1800 by Count Alassandro Volt, but was in use two millennia earlier. Mr Martell’s recreation was instrumental in proving the Baghdad Battery was capable of generating current.

Lecturing throughout the world, Mr. Martell has dedicated his studies to Ancient Artifacts, Planet X, Ancient Astronauts and the structures on Mars. Due to growing interest in his research, Mr. Martell created a network, of what is now, one of the world’s most visited websites attracting over 1 million new visitors each year. The website ranks in the “Top 10″ most visited paranormal websites on the Internet according to Google.

Today, Mr. Martell is planning stages of several groundbreaking international research expeditions. The expeditions focus on gaining access to ancient locations, ancient artifacts, and other archaeological relics not currently accessible to the public. By bringing worldwide attention to these hidden artifacts, Mr. Martell hopes to usher in a new era in the Ancient Astronaut theory and the Lost Cycle Of Time.

Aside from Mr. Martell’s research and lectures, he is also the founder of Booya! Media, a successful mobile app company. Mr. Martell has founded several successful companines in the digital and mobile technology space over the last 10 years.

Guest Occupation: Founder/CEO, Yes to Success, Inc.
Guest Biography:

In the winter of 1981, while working as an account executive for an LA investment company, Debra attended an evening seminar entitled, "Money Magic." Thinking she was walking into another dry financial tutorial, she sat transfixed as the seminar leader shared radical ideas about how prosperity is really created – ideas that had nothing to do with working hard or investing wisely but rather using energetic tools like the now popular “Law of Attraction” to create prosperity. Feeling as if every fiber of her being was resonating with the seminar leader's words, she knew that night that her life's work was to study this knowledge and share these principles with the world.

The next morning she quit her job and spent the next several months studying the laws of true success and prosperity as expounded on by icons of western “esoteric” thought such as Napoleon Hill, Wallace Wattles, Earl Nightengale and Florence Shin. In early 1982, she founded Yes to Success Seminars, Inc., a company dedicated to teaching enlightened, timeless principles of success and prosperity – in modern day language.

By 1983, Debra's seminar was being taught in over a dozen major US cities. By 1984 she had reps teaching her ever-growing body of knowledge in seven countries internationally.

Debra soon became a favorite talk show guest and appeared on radio and TV and in print media from coast to coast. As a sought-after speaker, her client list included Mattel Toys, McDonnell Douglas, the Xerox Management group, International Trade Management, Women in Management, Women in Banking, Business and Professional Women, and more.

Her seminar was the launching pad for many now-renowned transformational leaders including Marci Shimoff, Janet Attwood, Peggy O'Neill, and Extreme Leadership’s Steve Farber.

By 1987 she was being represented by a top literary agent and had a book deal in the works with a major publisher—and she was in the middle of negotiations for her own day-time talk show.

In 1988, her world stopped. No, there was no accident or catastrophe. Her world stopped when the mid-wife handed Debra her new baby girl. And, being true to her own teachings, she chose to follow her heart and for the next two decades devoted her life to being a mom-at-home to her daughter and her son who was born three years later.

Although she fit in a few keynotes, wrote a book on how to cook for your vegetarian children as well as the best-selling Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul, and ran a successful home-based business, she only worked when there were no basketball games to cheer at, recitals to attend, or birthday parties to throw--and she was almost always home to tuck her children in, read them a story and kiss them good night.

Fast forward to 2012. With her baby girl happily employed in the world of fashion and her son running his own successful business in the basketball world, although she took a break from her career as a professional speaker to be a professional mom, the timeless principles of her Yes to Success seminars are as useful today as they were when she first founded her company in 1982.

Debra is once again sharing these principles with the world and helping thousands more say Yes to Success. Adding richness to her already vast wisdom is the profound and invaluable insights into the human spirit that she gained from being a mom.

Guest Biography:

As the world watches with curiosity and admiration, as Pope Francis tries to turn around the Catholic Church, one might wonder what the beloved Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Clare might have thought of this Herculean effort. After all, they were among the first to call for a simple, unembellished church that teaches the love of all things, cares for the sick, the poor while touching the heart of joy in all. And that’s precisely what bestselling author Bruce Davis, Ph.D. wondered…which is how he came to write the beautiful, moving and charming book The Love Letters: Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi Meet Pope Francis.

Guest Biography:

Each of us lives with insecurity—the prospect of losing a job, physical illness, emotional suffering, divorce, the death of loved ones, our own mortality. When we feel our lives may be falling apart or risk being overrun by these powerful emotions, we long to connect to who we truly are, to know the certainty and peace that comes from our core, because only then can we face—and surmount—life’s challenges. A contemporary thought leader who has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Network’s Super Soul Sunday, Panache Desai calls upon us to harness the power of our authentic selves through our unique soul signature—our spiritual DNA—and be guided by our true purpose. In his first book, DISCOVERING YOUR SOUL SIGNATURE he gives readers a day-by-day spiritual roadmap to confront negative emotions and overcome them energetically, in a way that allows us to tap into a deeper sense of worth and well-being.

Guest Biography:

Born and raised in Europe, Anna moved to the United States at 13 years old, where she quickly adapted to her new life and home. After graduating high school in 2001 in Glendale CA, she attended Cal State Northridge, where she graduated Cum Laude in 2005 with a BA in Linguistics, and an emphasis in German. Part of her college experience involved living as a foreign exchange student in Germany for one year, thus learning a new language and expanding her understanding of culture and worldview. After college she went on to pursue her dreams of acting and modeling, which she did for over 6 years. During this time she felt spiritually un-fulfilled, and so invested in her spiritual and creative endeavors, thus pursuing a path to Enlightenment. During her training as a Hypnotherapist in 2008, Anna delved deeper into her natural healing abilities that she was born with, and anchored her intuitive knowledge with certificates in Reiki and Theta energy healing, EFT, hand writing analysis and specializing in Past Life Regression hypnosis. In 2009 she graduated from the accredited Hypnosis Motivation Institute of Tarzana with a certificate in Hypnotherapy. Since then she has been seeing clients regularly and fully committed herself to a career of healing work.

“This is the most wonderful and rewarding job I can imagine. Having been born with a deep love for Spirit and people, I see the divine in each and everyone. Through my education and studies of human behavior I have learned to unlock the mind and bring about healing. The human body and mind are the result of the past, which can be easily healed with intention, hypnosis and various energy healing modalities. I believe that the only limiting factor is ourselves, and that we truly can achieve anything and everything we put our minds to and have the will to pursue. I am grateful for having discovered Hypnosis, as it has truly changed my life, and I like to offer it to as many as possible to positively change theirs” ~Anna

Guest Biography:

Albert Einstein is most famous for proving the relationship between Time and Space, known as the Law of Relativity or E=MC². The power concealed within the core of that remarkable theory has been incorporated into a dynamic approach to living called the Personal Time-Map System now being introduced to the world at by Rev. Thabiti, the system’s inventor.

“Where” a given person is right now can be mapped out geographically, but “when” that person exists is a function of their Personal Time-Map. Personal Time-Mapping (PTM) does not predict which direction a person will choose, but it does reveal what will happen—or what someone might expect—as he or she moves through each new time period on that person’s Time-Map. The Time-Map shows an individual’s movement through time in the same way a map of a country would show that same individual’s movement through space.

Guest Biography:

Dr. Steven Zarit has done considerable research as regards how the stress experienced by family caregivers can best be managed. His recent research focuses upon the benefits that caregivers derive when their elder attends a day care facility. This arrangement allows them a valuable respite from their caregiving efforts. His studies indicate that having this support even results in caregivers' level of stress hormones decreasing. 

Dr. Zarit developed the Zarit Burden interview that measures the extent to which caregiving might be placing a "burden" upon those who accept this "responsibility." It has been used extensively in both therapeutic and research settings.

Guest Biography:

Itasha's teachers have been many. s she describes herself: The journey long and beautiful.

My Earth teachers have been Lakota Medicine Men Martin High Bear, Frank Fools Crow and Devere Eastman {Brave Buffalo} of Eagle Butte, South Dakota. They made and presented me my pipe. I have completed my four year SunDance and am a Sacred Pipe Holder.

I spent 26 years in sacred spaces. Often for years at a time, isolated from mainstream society, while being taught by the Medicine, Holy people.
