Here's Help to Open Your Heart to Love: John Audette, EP 362
John Audette recognized the life changing effect of Near Death Experiences. NDEs unleash personal capacities that increase synchronicities, promote healing, and open hearts to divine love. Reincarnation is real. When you know that your life is an eyeblink in time, that you will not die, you will be able to give up believing that you have to grab all that you can right now. You will turn to opening your heart to the love that is all around us and in you, with diminished need for reciprocity and increased desire to radiate the love that comes through your heart to other living beings.

Mr. Audette is the author of “Loved by the Light: True Stories of Divine Intervention and Providence,” available at Amazon.com. He also contributed several chapters to books by other authors about spiritually transformative experiences and non-local consciousness.

Ask & You Will Receive: Gary Schwartz, EP 358
At 3AM one morning, atheist scientist Gary Schwartz asked Source for a better name for God. He distinctly heard Sam. He attempted to verify this communication through books and colleagues, and he did. That scientific verification hurled him beyond materialistic science into communication with spirits who need to connect with their loved ones. His work is opening up for each of us avenues for communication with non-material loved ones.

The Dead Still Need You! Rondi Lightmark, EP 357
"The greatest gift anyone can give you is their own death". Author Rondi Lightmark's grieving for her deceased husband Jim, led to direct communications with him. This communication fostered major psychological and spiritual developments in her and most profoundly, the ability to receive Jim's love as well as to continue loving him. Grieving involves body, 'who am I without Jim" and spiritual. The body aches and needs direct care. Rhondi knows Jim is still with her as are other deceased persons. Her spiritual seeking has led her to a vastly greater realm which she experiences and knows she is a part. \
Rondi has a Masters in psychology from Saybrook Graduate School with an emphasis on consciousness research—some of her professors were Stanley Krippner, Ruth Inge-Heinze and Eugene Taylor, and David Feinstein. She is also certified in the family systems therapy of Bert Hellinger. She encourages you to connect with her teachers through the links in her bio in this post.
Her 2023 memoir about the loss of her husband won a Nautilus book award. It includes how her dream of becoming a writer was realized in connection with an extraordinary event in her home. This occurred on her return from a workshop with the spiritual philosopher David Spangler.
Key influences in Rondi Lightmark’s life include the philosophy of the Austrian spiritual scientist, Rudolf Steiner, and her time working as a writer in the spiritual education communities Omega Institute and Esalen Institute.

Uncovering Your Intimacy Frequency: Bree Greenburg, EP 355
Bree Greenberg experiences the web of interconnections highlighted by synchronicities! She is very familiar with ontological shock--when your world crumbles in front and around you, nothing you knew exists anymore (except maybe your daughter). She took years to find and stabilize her sense of self, her energy signature so she can now vibrate harmonically with others. She has become more honest, more vulnerable, less demanding, more truthfully herself. And she continues to evolve. And helps others find their true selves, to become in touch with their true Eros--the creativity that comes from creative love.
Bree Greenberg, LMFT has a passion for creating individual, organizational and global creative liberatory change. She is the founder of the former Vermont Center for Integrative Therapy which opened in 2010 and was one of the first mental health centers to combine ancient systems of healing interwoven with current cutting edge systems of care. She is known for her dynamic speaking presence and her ability to weave disparate elements into new forms that change view, conversation, and care.
Bree is an adjunct faculty member of Dartmouth Medical, and has spoken extensively at institutions, hospitals, conferences and universities on topics in integrative medicine, eating disorders and addictions. She has trained and supervised over 150 practitioners from disciplines ranging from internal medicine to yoga therapy. www.breegreenberg.com ig @breegreenberg0

Feeling the Phantom Limb: Rick Leskowitz MD, EP 354
How do the dividing cells of an embryo know where there need to go to create a baby? Psychiatrist Rick Leskowitz knows that an energetic template guides those cells to their proper places. Templates also seem to guide the creation of synchronicities, partly influenced by your intentions and partly influenced by current mysteries. Being able to feel the energy field of a man's amputated leg convinced Rick that we are more than flesh. More than bones. We have biofields that shape our minds and bodies, that help us get into the flow, into the zone and that participate in coincidence creations through resonance and entrainment with other people and our surroundings.
Dr. Eric (Rick) Leskowitz was a consultant psychiatrist for over 25 years with the Pain Management Program at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston, where he founded the Integrative Medicine Task Force. He holds an appointment at Harvard Medical School, has studied energy healing, meditation and hypnosis for over 40 years, and has had 50+ articles published in leading scientific journals. He has also edited three textbooks, and his documentary film about group energies and sports, The Joy of Sox: Weird Science and the Power of Intention, was broadcast on PBS. The Mystery of Life Energy is his latest book. https://www.TheMysteryOfLifeEnergy.com The Joy of Sox film (PBS): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgh11r8xB7ltgm7P6Qujblw
