Once plagued by severe anxiety attacks, Joshua Bloom developed a way of being that grounds the body into a state of wellness. He calls this process Quantum Energy Transformation™. Quantum Energy Transformation is based on the science of Quantum Physics and the Cellular Biology research of Bruce Lipton. It works at the higher levels of energy to create deep energy movement at the cellular level of the body for natural healing and removal of blocks. Unlike other modalities, Joshua claims this process transforms trauma quickly and easily. In this episode, Joshua tells some of his remarkable healing stories and we discuss questions such as: What causes illness? How does healing happen? How did Jesus heal people? Why can’t we just change our thoughts? Joshua Bloom is the author of The Ultimate Answer is Inside and the executive producer of the movie of same name. https://www.quantumenergycenter.tv/ Free Gift: https://quantumenergycenter.mykajabi.com/let-go-of-overwhelm-opt-in-for-Rev-Carolsaunder-1

John Paul Rice began his film career in the movie, Remember the Titans (2000), and is currently the president/producer of No Restrictions Entertainment, a film company that produces bold, cutting-edge and authentic stories that humanize issues rarely shown in Hollywood movies. Among them are A Child’s Voice, which exposes child trafficking and the most recent, Game Day, an authentic and powerful story about a dysfunctional family that fights passionately among themselves, but never gives up on each other. In this episode, Rice shares his belief that unconscious trauma (child abuse) and forsaking our inner child are at the root of today's polarities. He joins Rev. Carol for an interesting conversation on forgiveness, healing, consciousness, unconditional love, our inner child, and how the various fragmented factions of today can heal and reconcile. https://www.norestrictionsent.com/

Three years ago, on a sunny California day at his house near Calabasas California, Christopher Peter’s life and physical reality were obliterated. From out of the clear blue sky the creators of the universe entered his life in the flesh and never left. In this episode, Peters begins by sharing his tumultuous life story. With movie producer Jon Peters (portrayed in the movie, Hairspray; executive producer of Caddyshack, Flashdance, Rain Man, Man of Steel) as his father, and actress Lesley Ann Warren (Cinderella, Victor Victoria, and Desperate Housewives) as his mother, he was immersed in the world of entertainment. He was one of the first producers to start, create, and get approved a no-holds-barred fight show - UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship - with a major television network, Showtime. Peters’ Hollywood upbringing was devoid of spirituality and religion, which makes his current day, ongoing relationship with beings of light so fascinating. You decide what to believe as he shares the creator beings’ message to humanity. Christopher tells his background story first. He begins his encounter story at 27:47.

Bob Vetter is a healer and cultural anthropologist whose life work concerns the intersection of spirituality and healing in diverse indigenous cultures. He studied the traditional Mesoamerican healing system called Curanderismo with teachers both in the United States and Mexico, and maintains a healing practice and community temazcal (traditional Mesoamerican sweat lodge) in New York. In this episode Bob tells his unique story that begins when he was a graduate student at University of Oklahoma, seeking the last Comanche medicine man to interview for his graduate studies. It then traverses a multitude of relationships with Native American elders, ultimately resulting in Bob becoming an adopted nephew, son and grandson, and healer in his own right. Along with his adopted uncle, medicine man Richard Tartsah Sr., he authored the book Big Bow: The Spiritual Life and Teachings of a Kiowa Family. He currently hosts the podcast, “Healing and Spirituality in World Cultures."

Many years ago, artist Monique Rebelle's personal life was a source of depression and she eventually became suicidal. It was at this point that the amazing, miraculous occurrence of a full kundalini rising took place and changed her life completely. Her book, Transcendence Calling - the Power of Kundalini Rising and Spiritual Enlightenment catalogs her experience in detail and outlines a path to open the gates of each chakra. In this episode, Monique explains kundalini and we take a deep dive into her unique understanding/revelation about each of the seven energy centers. https://www.moniquerebelle.com/

Ronna Detrick is a storyteller. She also coaches and creates unique ways for women’s stories, both past and present, to be understood as a powerful and sacred source of wisdom, encouragement, and hope. This matters to both men and women because we are in relationship with each other. We've all inherited interpretations of classic stories, and whether we know it or not, they impact the way we form our world. The stories of women in the Bible are told through a lens that can keep women limited, held back, silenced, shamed, and playing small. In this episode, Rev. Carol and Ronna have a lively conversation about the story of Eve, Hagar, and other women in the Bible. You will gain insight into how new stories can change your experience of your own self, life, and God. https://www.ronnadetrick.com/

Teresa Wagner has loved and communicated with animals all of her life. For the past 30 years, she has worked as an animal communicator and offered grief support and counseling for those with lost or deceased animals. In this episode, we discuss what animal communication entails and learn that it is an expression of our natural state rather than a special spiritual gift. We learn how we can spiritually support animals (and humans) who are suffering, and what to do when animals make a home where they are not wanted. We enter the magical world of inter-species communication and realize that this sacred connection is the original intention of Creation. Teresa has authored the audiobook, Legacies of Love; A Gentle Guide to Healing from the Loss of Your Animal Loved One. She also facilitated Sacred Swim trips to swim and communicate with humpback whales for 19 years.

The transformation from trained killer to Zen teacher, monk, and peace activist is the story of Claude Ashin Thomas's life, which he rawly tells in his memoir, "At Hell's Gate: A Soldier's Journey from War to Peace".
