A Quest for Well-Being

— Strong healthy relationships result in strong healthy families. Healthy families cultivate boys and girls into intelligent, responsible, and accountable men and women who will have superior family values. In today's society, there is a low number of people in strong, healthy relationships. The average couple is still figuring out how to properly love one another. This needs to change. Many of us grew up in environments where the ideology of forming a strong relationship was not taught or discussed. This was mostly because the family was burdened with adverse conditions like single parent households, missing influential male role models and financial instability. Dealing with these life stresses can make it very easy for us to lose focus of building strong, healthy relationships. Going forward we must desire and learn how to manage strong successful relationships and use them as foundational building blocks of our culture. Then we need to instill this cultural knowledge in our children. Time is of the essence because our children will quickly become adults and will form their own relationships. We must act now and pass blueprints for maintaining healthy relationships. Valeria Teles interviews Treamell Lawrence — the author of "Dear Brothers Dear Sisters Listen Up!"

— A powerful woman is one who is deeply connected to herself. She is a woman who listens and takes action upon the internal guidance she feels. A powerful woman can emanate a magnetically palpable presence without saying a word. She can be surrounded by chaos and be at peace inside herself because she knows she has access to the source within her and all around her. She knows that she is the source. She knows that her compassion, love, gentleness, strength, feminine beauty, grace, joy, anger, passion, her shadows and darkness are her power. A powerful woman can go unnoticed because she chooses to. She can blend into the trees in a forest or she can stand on a stage with a spotlight shining on her, sharing her wisdom, her humor and passion to a captivated audience. A powerful woman knows she has the power to choose; how to be, where to be or who to be, if she listens. Her internal language is the Language of the World speaking from within, through her feelings and her body. And outside she witnesses the world speaking to her through color, sound, story, music and people; all the things that she loves. She is life and life moves through her. When we accept this power, we can learn to enjoy it and truly feel pleasure in this aspect of ourselves.

— Sleep hygiene, hot baths, kiwi fruit, breathing techniques, acupuncture, counselling, supplements, sleeping tablets... Over twenty years, Joseph Pannell tried it all. Nothing worked. The more he tried to force sleep, the more he fed his anxiety and obsession – and the more insomnia stripped from his life. Joseph couldn't get up early as he couldn't sleep at night. He couldn't see his friends at night. He couldn't do the job he loved. He couldn't share a bed with his wife. He simply couldn't. For two decades, slowly but surely, insomnia took over his life and stole his happiness. And then Joseph found CBT-I. Everything changed. Every thought, every action, CBT-I had seen it all before. His insomnia was not unique. Your insomnia is not unique. It always boils down to two problems: sleep drive and hyperarousal. By addressing both through behavior changes, sleep knowledge and cognitive restructuring, Joseph went from being somebody trying everything they could to make themself sleep to being somebody trying everything they could to stay awake. After overcoming his insomnia, he trained with one of the world's best sleep physicians so he could help you overcome yours. Valeria Teles interviews Joseph Pannell — the author of "You Can Sleep Too!" Joseph Pannell is the author of the evidence-based sleep book 'You Can Sleep Too!" He has trained with sleep physician Daniel Erichsen and completed the CBT-I SleepScience course. Having suffered with chronic insomnia himself for over two decades, he finally overcame it with the help of one of the world's most experienced sleep physiologists. He has an excellent first- hand understanding of insomnia and is living proof of how effective and life changing the sleep knowledge that he disseminates can be. He works with corporations via webinars and seminars to provide workplace sleep education, and he will be working with TEDX speaker Raj Adgopul to help provide sleep education in India.

— Ultimately, it came down to "What am I passionate about?" The answer to that question was "My spirituality". That's what I love, that's what I am passionate about. All that I had learned from my Order, about life, its mysteries, and how to work with the powers of the Universe -- that's what turns me on. After coming to "know" that, I turned my focus on how do I make this a new life. – Says Jeff Valeria Teles interviews Jeffrey Segal — an Author, Life Coach, Artist, Founder Of Mystic Journey Bookstore And Mystic Journey Crystals, And Speaker. Jeffrey Segal was raised and educated in Los Angeles. He went to Occidental College and then to law school at American University in Washington, D.C. After securing his JD in 1985, Jeffrey returned to Los Angeles and began what turned out to be a 25+ year legal career. Before beginning that career, however, Jeffrey failed the bar exam. This "failure" turned out to be one of the most positive events in Jeffrey's life. It was this "failure" that "inspired" Jeffrey to turn to a set of spiritual teachings he had been given, but had never looked at, to help him overcome the bar exam hurdle. These teachings, and the manifestation techniques contained therein, not only helped Jeffrey pass the bar exam the next time, but they became the guiding life principles he has used ever since to create all that he wanted in his life. It is these teachings that are the core of this book. Jeffrey then began his legal practice. But after ten years he started to become disenchanted. As time passed, this feeling became disillusionment, lack of fulfillment, and ultimately an intense desire to get out of law. But the 'golden handcuffs' were too tight. He couldn't leave. That was until, after some twenty years of practice, Jeffrey "created" a cancer in his body, a cancer to finally force him out. While the doctors initially thought they had caught the cancer early, a follow-up test revealed a lymph node abnormality. The doctors wanted Jeffrey to undergo chemotherapy. Jeffrey instinctively knew, however, that this was not the right path for him. Instead, he chose a course of natural/alternative healing. He put together a team of healers, including an acupuncturist, a bodyworker, an energy worker, and a traditional therapist to guide him on his path of healing. After six months of working with his team, the abnormality had completely disappeared. It was during this time of healing that Jeffrey decided to leave the practice of law and follow his passion in the realm of spirituality, and create Mystic Journey Bookstore.

— A mother seeks to unravel the truth of her past after learning that her daughter never existed in this mysterious and poignant novel about healing, acceptance and the magic of possibility. Annie Beyers has everything―a beautiful house, a loving husband, and an adorable daughter. It's a day like any other when she takes Hannah to the pediatrician…until she wakes hours later from a car accident. When she asks for her daughter, confused doctors tell Annie that Hannah never existed. In fact, nothing after waking from the crash is the same as Annie remembers. Five happy years of her life apparently never happened. Annie's marriage is coming to an end. Now a successful artist living in Manhattan, she's no longer home in their beloved upstate farmhouse. Her long-estranged sister is more like a best friend, and her recently deceased dog is alive and well. With each passing day, Annie's remembered past and unfamiliar present begin to blur. Haunted by visions of Hannah, and with knowledge of things she can't explain, Annie wonders…is everyone lying to her? Valeria Teles interviews Kelley McNeil — the author of "A Day Like This."

— Dr. Ronald L. Mann provides individuals the tools to move beyond the limitations of body identification with the more limited definition of self that is defined by one's thoughts, feelings, emotions, and physicality. Being "awake" has a much more profound meaning than just getting up in the morning after a night's rest, drinking a cup of coffee, and getting started with your day's activities. It is realizing a more expanded state of self beyond the limited "ego" to a higher sense of Self or the soul. Consciousness wants to evolve through us. We are all on a journey of returning to the source of Love. On our way, we can either coast along with the current or use a paddle to speed our journey. We are all going home.

He practiced as a licensed psychologist from 1976-2002. He has appeared on Fox Sports Network, Fox Boston 25 Morning News, the Gary Collins Show, Good Morning America and numerous radio interview shows. Dr. Mann has written six books, including an LA Times bestseller: "The Yoga of Golf; Bouncing Back: How to Recover When Life Knocks You Down," "The Making Of A Champion: Success is an Inconvenience" (written for and with Head Football Coach Joseph Taylor," "Learning to Win: The Coaches Guide for Mastering the Mental Game of Golf," and "Bouncing Back: 2017 in Crisis!: How to Prepare for and Recover From Life's Greatest Threats."

— The best gift we can give our planet is working to live in a vibration of peace and love. If all humans were emitting mostly love and peaceful vibrations, we could restructure the world. If all of humanity took the time to focus on self-growth, spirituality, and mindset work, imagine the world we "could create. Perhaps contrast is only necessary to create that world. Sandie Gascon see our planet and all the beings on it as a single organism. Humans can either be pathogens, fighting each other and destroying the host along with each other; or we can be one with the planet, working to nurture it and grow. One cannot meet any of the world's issues with anger, resentment, and hate. That only brings more of it. First, we must finish the war going on in our own bodies and minds. End the violence that is there. Be in a state of allowance for what is happening within you and in the world, while believing in your ability to influence your surroundings. Raise your vibration to these higher levels of consciousness, Heal Yourself, Body, Mind, and Spirit, and help change the world.
