Channeling Spirit Guides with Paul Selig • 038
Ep 038: When I first started Mind Love, I wrote a bucket list of people I wanted to bring on my show… and no joke, this person was top of my list. Our guest today is Paul Selig - author, psychic and spiritual medium. A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. He's also the author of my 5 favorite books of all time: What really makes this guest special is he didn’t just write these books, he channeled them. He spoke the text aloud, which was then transcribed… with NO EDITING. And for those of you calling bullshit, he did the last two in front of a live audience.Today we will learn:
How Paul Selig activated a spiritual awakening that left him clairvoyant
Which behaviors may block spiritual channeling
What Paul sees as the most important teachings he’s channeled so far

Overcome Anxiety and Rewire Your Brain with Ashley James of Learn True Health • 033
Ep. 033: Today we’re talking about anxiety. It’s been one of my most requested topics, which makes sense because it’s apparently become the number one mental health issue in North America. It’s estimated that 1/3 of the American adult population experiences anxiety-related issues. Anxiety can affect everything because everything is connected. Our minds and bodies have limited stamina so when energy and resources are being funneled into dealing with some chronic issue, it takes away energy and resources for other things like brain function, immune response, general healing, digestion, all… the… things. In learning to overcome anxiety, we learn to rewire our brains which can be used for all the other things we want our brains to do… like form positive habits, think happy thoughts, react better, and even learn faster.Our guest today is Ashley James, a master practitioner and trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy, Hypnosis, and coaching as well as the host of the Learn True Health Podcast.Today we will learn:
How and why anxiety affects your whole life
How to effectively form new habits
3 techniques to eliminate anxiety, whether it’s around a specific event, the outlook of your day or the span of your life

Ep. 032: For a lot of people the word intuition can seem very woowoo. It’s more universally accepted when referring to mother’s intuition, but intuition be critical to both career and business success as well.

Candice was an intuition child but she didn’t really know what to make of her gifts. She found out the hard way that if you ignore your true calling and live a life that’s not aligned with who you truly are, you lose a whole lot of yourself. But when she finally started to listen to her inner wisdom, her gifts began to strengthen. The more she developed her psychic abilities, the more she realized that everyone around her was intuitive, even if they didn’t realize it themselves. Now she leads intuitive development workshops to show people how to recognize and trust their own intuition.Today we will learn:

How to tell the difference between intuition and imagination
An exercise to actively manifest something specific
