NEW Music Heard Between Talk Shows! We'll Be Your Favorite!

Headlined Show, Paradigm Shifters October 13, 2020

This week on Paradigm Shifters:

 

Hello Fellow Paradigm Shifters - Let's talk about shifting paradigms. How do you think? How do you define yourself, by income, beauty, health, education.... purpose in our society? List those attributes and "belongings" for a moment. Is what you described true to the real you? Interesting question isn't it?

 

My guest this week is John Petersen, founder of the Arlington Institute. John is a "futurist" and, with others, over the past 30+ years, has been influencing directions in our country. He's been involved in the Military, then, wanting to find different ways of empowering people, he moved into think tanks in the State Department, and onward into the White House, to advise some forward motion into the world.

 

We are honoured to speak with John about what to expect in the coming decades. Life has changed. Our systems are being totally disheveled, or indeed torn apart. We have heard that that would be happening but let's ask John how we ride out the chaos that

is already perking throughout our society. John will suggest what to expect, and be consciously designing our steps forward.

A Message from Veronica --

 

Hello Everyone,

 

Here we are again. The energies are moving fast and are confusing but many new opportunities are rising through our Covid-ed world Here are a few inspirational pointers!



Be aware of your energy, realizing that as we lift our frequencies, the outcome of the drama and trauma changes. It is easy enough to test it out. Breath deeply through your nose. Run the breath to the base of your spine - now draw it back up. Back up along your spine into your brain. Now again from the deep breath that fills your brain. With your outbreath, breath it back down your spine. Then back up your spine to fill your brain again. 3 times is good. More is even better. Then visuaiize your world with feeling.

 

Ask your own Guidance to inspire the way. As you do, notice the heaviness or fear, the question of what on earth to do, loosens up. You will find direction and incentive, and the love it takes to grow your trust.

 

Keep at this and find yourself surfing through the white waters of today.

 

Maybe its time for a chat with the Guides. Call for your session or book it on acuity.com It'll be wonderful to catch up again.

 

With much love



Veronica

*DRIVE-THRU FALL FESTIVAL, OCTOBER 31st!

Well, we had to get “creative” in our approach to our normal “Trunk and Treat” Community Event this year.

SO….we will be having a VERY SAFE (Covid-friendly) Drive-thru Fall Festival and will be giving each child a bag of treats.

These “treat bags” will be handled with the greatest of care and in accordance to the CDC guidelines.

We will have a few church members greeting and handing out the treat bags that evening in a very fun and unique way.

Each bag will not only have treats, but also:

~~Information about our church

~~Service Times of our church services

~~Special HOLIDAY SERVICES and LIVE NATIVITY INFORMATION!

~~Information about God’s Love and Plan of Salvation

~~A free DVD of the JESUS movie for each family!

~~Information for prayer needs

~~A special “pumpkin flashlight”

~~and much more!

 

I think this year could be even LARGER THAN EVER…because many places may cancel their own events because of COVID, so please help out by doing this for us:

**Start praying for the event!

**Instead of donating candy this year, we are asking for a financial donations so we can purchase each item at one time and keep items safely handled as possible.

**HELP SPREAD THE WORD by posting this poster on Social Media, emails, texts and everywhere you can:

Are you excited?  I am sure am.

I PROMISE we will take LOTS and LOTS of pictures to share with you so you can see all the families that we reached!

Thanks!

Frank’s departure from agnosticism began when he contracted a serious illness in 1997, which shifted his outlook, restored his faith, and transformed his way of being. A published author, Frank’s third book, Spirituality in the 21st Century, was written for all those who yearn for meaning in their lives and a vision with which to achieve it.

    6. See politics, environment, and other social issues through the lens of your spiritual journey.

Frank P. Daversa is a published author who writes books and conducts interviews for the spiritual community to help them understand new and revolutionary ways to live and thrive in today's world. He was raised in South Hempstead, NY. It was during his college years that he honed his writing skills. He earned his A.A.S. degree in 1981 with honors. Two years after earning his B.S. degree in 1986, Frank moved to Houston, TX. He worked 14 years in the corporate world before becoming a writer in 2007.

SpirituallyRAW The Ass Whipping Truth Guest, Christine Breese PhD January 15, 2020
Founder of University of Metaphysical Sciences, Gaia Sagrada Retreat Center, and Founder of Free Retreats For All

Christine Breese, PhD is the Founder of: University of Metaphysical Sciences, Gaia Sagrada Retreat Center, Wisdom of the Heart 501(c)3 Non Profit Free Retreats For Everyone, Radiant Life Academy

She is 54 years old but still has youthful enthusiasm and vitality. She also has wisdom far beyond her years. She attributes it to the spiritual self-work she did to transcend depression, abuse, suicidal feelings and learning how to enter the realms of joy and happiness.

Because she has overcome the depths of despair she can help you do it too. For the past 30 years, she has been leading workshops, retreats, spiritual courses, and helping others find happiness too. She spent much of her own spiritual journey without money for retreats or workshops, so she wants to give you the chance to be in Satsang whether you have money or not.

Christine is in high demand with millions of views on her videos and tens of thousands of followers, but she wants to make time for you. She travels with her team to bring these retreats to a place near you so you don’t have to travel. She is often referred to as the “Mother Theresa” of spiritual retreats because she cares deeply about those in need who are disadvantaged.

Christine is dedicated to the awakening of humanity, changing the world for the better, and helping those who are trying to improve their lives and attain an understanding of spirituality. Christine leads powerful meditations in these retreats to take you deep into who you are. Come and realize yourself for who you really are.

Christine Breese books:
Reclaiming the Shadow Self
Fearlessness in the Paradigm Shift
and the soon to be released:
Choose Yourself: The Power of One to Change the World
and Integrity Handbook for Leaders, Teachers, Healers and Students

A Quote from Christine Breese:

“In the silence of your heart, you will find the truth. No one can tell you what is right for you better than you. You are gazillions of years old. You are wiser than you know. You are God dreaming, learning, and growing on a journey of self-exploration. You are a collector of experiences for Godself. It is all the same one living all these lives and having all these experiences. It is the same one in you, the same one in me, the same one in a blade of grass, experiencing creation from that particular point of view. How much more worthy can you get than that? You are the center of the universe from your point of view!”

“So awaken angel, and get back on mission. I am here to remind you of who you already know yourself to be, or at least encourage you on your path. Let go of the past and who you thought you were. Dream a good dream now. You are allowed! Take back your power from the places you lost it (fear, sadness, anger, loneliness) and be the creator being that you are. We have a world to change, and it first starts with each of us becoming that which we already are!”

During this time Suzanne placed 4th in the women’s divi-sion of the Chicago Marathon and became a member of the NBA cheerleading team the Chicago Luvabulls.

Following her coaching and competition career, Suzanne went on to work for the Chicago public schools, where she created a fitness program for Jose Clemente Orozco Academy, “The Magnificent Workout for Kids” was named one of Illinois’ best school fitness programs by the Chairman of the President’s Council on Fitness Arnold Schwarzenegger.

She created Right Fit because she wanted a facility that CARED more, was able to educate and train people in the power of movement, and give all members of the population a chance to experience the power of strength and exercise. 

Suzanne remains the majority owner of Right Fit, and works daily to advocate the importance of movement and exercise in daily life, works within the community on fitness and wellness initiatives, is the Head of the Run the Ridge 5k/1k Run Walk and Kid’s Dash, continues to present and educate on fitness and wellness initiatives, and speaks and shares her world recognized fitness program for youth with Autism, Raise the Bar©.

Get on Track Health and Wellness (GOT) is a 501(c)(3) organization located in Lombard, Illinois. GOT offers services and programs to empower youth and adolescents to prioritize health and spend less time on technology. These programs are customized to each individual and will focus on six key areas: movement, nutrition, mental wellness, strength and conditioning, coaching, and education. 

The COVID-19 pandemic closed businesses, retail stores, schools, and churches around the country. For two years, children were forced to turn to technology for all education, social, and entertainment needs. GOT's inspiration is to create greater balance around this reliance on technology. The organization wants all youth and adolescents to have the guidance, tools, and confidence to adopt healthier lifestyle choices 

GOT will draw from its 35 years in the Fitness and Wellness industry (working with youth and adults of all populations) to more effectively match our clients with the appropriate treatment and plan. Our commitment is between the youth/teen and the family.

GOT"s target market is technology-addicted, sedentary youth and adolescents. The end customer will be children, adolescents, and young adults ranging from age 18 to 35 who are addicted or have a mental preoccupation with technology. GOT will rely on the family (parents, grandparents, relatives, etc.) to identify their loved ones as exhibiting technology-addicted behavior. GOT will market its services to teachers and school districts who can help identify and refer students to GOT's programs and services.

CHATS ABOUT NEW ALBUM AND TOUR

EXCLUSIVE!

 

Magnum guitarist Tony Clarkin is a man who seems to never stop working. He is responsible for writing all the material released by the band, and on top of that he produces their albums from the very first demo to the final mix. On their latest album The Serpent Rings, Clarkin and Magnum’s other original member, vocalist Bob Catley, prove all over again just how perfectly this established system works.

Magnum have recorded eleven new songs which feature all the traditional strengths of the British act and also live up to the band’s ambition to explore a more rock-oriented direction.

The new album was recorded by the Magnum line-up consisting of Clarkin, Catley, keyboardist Rick Benton and drummer Lee Morris, plus their latest addition, bassist Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Place Vendome, Unisonic, among others), who joined the fold to replace Al Barrow.

Magnum’s major European tour has been scheduled to start in March 2020, initially with a number of headlining shows, to be continued by a first-rate package together with Gotthard from Switzerland. This extremely successful collaboration first passed the litmus test a few years ago, and Clarkin, Catley & Co. are very enthusiastic: “Along with some classic numbers, we will also present four or five songs from The Serpent Rings,” the band promises, providing even more reasons for their fans to mark the dates in their calendars.
