Joan Ranquet, Animal Communicator extraordinaire, ‘talks’ with your animals to see what’s going on with them.
They have problems just like we do – fears, anxieties, behavioral glitches – even temper tantrums! Joan finds out what their story is and helps resolve the problem.
We find out how she does that; what scalar energy and standing waves are and why that’s important; how to affect the parasympathetic nervous system of your critter to help it find relief, and so much more!
When her boat capsized, Nathalie Kelly was slammed in the head, resulting in massive damage to more than one part of her brain. This was no ordinary brain injury!
Listen in and find out how she endured – and actually grew from – years of having to simply lie flat and not even move a muscle…even her eyes…
…how she persisted in trying to find answers, even through horrific headaches and completely debilitating dizziness and disorientation so bad she had to walk with 2 walking canes…
…and how she got through embarrassments and humiliations that are so common for TBI sufferers who cannot remember or cannot read or walk, and can no longer function in the simplest ways.
Have you or anyone you know said this? “I Gained A Zillion Pounds After Having My Gall Bladder Out….”
Today I want to introduce you to Dr.Miranda Jorgenson, who will help us understand exactly why that happens. Discover why so many people gain uncontrollable weight after gall bladder surgery, and the six critical things you or someone you know can do about it.
(Special surprise! At the end of this article you will find a surprise goodie for you!)
Even if you still have your gall bladder, you may be experiencing pains, unwanted, uncomfortable symptoms, and uncontrollable wight gain.
If you know of anyone else who has this problem, or who has had their gall bladder removed, I invite you to share this particular show with them, because it may help them out, too.
Did you know that over half a million gallbladders are removed every year in the US? It is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures.
What’s really distressing is that even after having had their gall bladder removed 87% of men and 68% of women experienced weight gain after their gall bladder was removed. Many people still experience the same symptoms as before!
I invited Dr. Miranda to be my guest after reading articles about this problem on her site. Because I, too, suffer from massive weight-gain after my own surgery, and like many others, find it impossible to lose it.

I found out something really important after I was well again after having had my gall bladder removed.
I was feeling dehydrated. I knew I needed minerals and electrolytes, but I didn’t want to get a commercial sugar-laced drink. I didn’t know what to do.
So I googled ‘how to make electrolytes,’ and found out that you can make your own hydrating drink simple as pie! All you do is take a quarter teaspoon of sea salt (no iodine) and add it to a cup of water with the juice of half a lemon: voila! Electrolytes! Hydration!
The article I read said that the lemon has nutrients and minerals that we need, and the salt and acidic juice make the right electric charge we need to rejuvenate the system. Cool.
So if you need electrolytes after getting worn down playing sports, getting through an illness or having extreme diarrhoea, this is a home remedy that really works.
It’s not at all bad tasting, and if your body needs electrolytes it will love drinking it. It’s safe for little kids–better, actually, because there isn’t a ton of sugar in it. Sugar upsets the electrolyte balance, weakening it (never mind the other things we already know sugar does to the system).
Disclaimer: No, I am not a doctor or physician. I’m telling you about this because it works for me. If you try it and get hurt in any way, it’s your responsibility, not mine!

This is for you guys in the crowd!
Ken Solin, a men’s activist, is the author of Act Like A Man. He says, “the title is a play on what men are told over and over from the time they were boys.
Most of what I focus on is for women, but when I found Ken Solin and his books, I thought what a perfect match for you guys in my audience!
“It’s hard to get men and their emotions in the same room at the same time,” says Solin.
“And it’s harder for men to connect to their feelings than it is for women. Women start talking to each other when they’re little girls. Men compete.”
The result is a disconnect between men’s hearts and minds and an emotional gridlock with women.
Ken says men have a hard time opening up to each other, don’t know how, and don’t know even where to begin. Or what that might even do for them. Or how it benefits their relationships with women. (see link below to get Act Like A Man)
He offers a solution like the one he created for himself many years ago.
After many years of creating a lot of wealth…and yet feeling miserable…he started on a journey of courage to create something profoundly different for himself, something more fulfilling. He hasn’t looked back yet – and has helped scores of guys do the same.
Want safe guy friends?
If you’re a guy (or if you know a guy) who wants safe, loyal, long-term guy friends, and to find out how to ease the pressure of all the pushed-away anger, fear, worry, etc. that’s lurked inside of you like un-spent ordnance since you were a kid, and you didn’t know what to do about it, here are some answers for you.
I was so pleased to speak with Ken – he’s a man who’s done the work!

What is the one (most important) thing most people forget about when they do a Treasure Map?
People create treasure maps, mind maps, time-lines, PERT (Project Evaluation Review Technique) Charts, ad infinitum.
And they get real success with their mapping, I might add. I know I have, personally, many times: it’s how I create all of my business sites, books, and marketing campaigns.
Being a coach and executive success trainer, I see literally hundreds of people taking classes and trainings on how to make your dreams come true, how to manifest, how to make money, how to get your perfect man…you name it. I’ve seen it, as I am sure you have, too.
We know that clearly visualizing something stimulates the Reticular Activating System in the brain. This stimulation creates real vibrational frequencies that the brain then continues to radiate. According to the principles of attraction, these frequency emissions “attract” the reality we want to create right to us.
There’s a major factor that is imperative to take into account in order to boost your Treasure Mapping success: your emotions, because it’s best go into a manifesting process in as highly optimized state as you can create: excited about what you want to create, enthusiastic, curious, expansive, willing to embrace your new concepts and experiences.
I have seen people get caught up by the so-called negative emotions that emerge when they make their Treasure Maps. Suddenly, doubt has entered the scene. (It’s OK, though – you’ll see!)
I’ve heard: “I can’t succeed; I’ll never have any money (my dream house/mate/job, etc).”
Or, “Making this Treasure Map won’t work.”
Or “I don’t really expect to be successful.”
Being able to recognize and receive the success that is right there for you is also important, but your ability to do so can be blocked by limiting thoughts and beliefs.
Those emotions can range from fear of having success, fear of failure, anger that they were never allowed to have these things, anxiety that “this will never work,” “my husband will think I’m silly,” “my wife won’t believe this,” “I could never have a house like this,” etc. There can be as many fears as each picture on the Maps.
“Ah!” I hear you say. “But that’s just part of life, and you just need to ignore those and push on through!”
And no, just pushing through doesn’t get it. Doesn’t work. At ALL.
Why? I’ll show you. It’s a complete waste of energy and your own personal power to ignore and push back your feelings. Let’s look at this:
There you are standing at the Treasure Map table, with your blank poster board, magazines, scissors and glue. You just cut out an image of a gorgeous house on the beach. You’re holding it in your hand, considering where on the poster board to put it. The house is a close copy of the one you’ve wanted for years.
And you’re suddenly in tears. Huh? Why are you crying?
But here’s where most people go wrong. Instead of being present with and appreciating the emotion, they try to stop the feelings. They sheepishly look around, feeling embarrassed and foolish for “being so emotional.” They try to go on with their mapping.
But when they do that, they’ve lost out on a gift of power their own energetic system was trying to give them!
There you are again, with your map in front of you. You feel the emotion coming on.
Instead of holding your breath and trying not to cry, you say to yourself, “Wow, I’m feeling so much energy right now!” without naming the feeling sad, angry, fear, anxiety. No names, OK?
Just notice that you are feeling energy out of proportion to what you normally experience.
As you notice, tap with your index and 2nd fingers on the tips of your collarbones right at the bottom of your neck. This is a major meridian point. Tapping there stimulates it, smoothing out your internal energy system.
Look to see: where is the feeling in your body? Do you have:
Clammy hands?
Sweaty hands?
Tight throat?
Weak in the knees?
Tight belly and chest?
Find exactly where it is and pinpoint it.
Then describe it:
How big is it?
If it had a color, what would it be?
If it could make a noise, what would it sound like?
If it had texture, what would it be?
How is it feeling in your body?
Some people feel feelings that are actually outside of their bodies! The feeling can be in front of them, to the side, or above or below them, with colors, sounds, etc.
Now that you have pinpointed and examined this feeling, pretend that you can speak with it and that it will answer you. Ask it what its purpose is.
Nine times out of ten, these feelings are fear-related to some event in the past, and stick around to help you avoid anything that will mean feeling or having the same kind of experience again.
It’s main function has been to protect you! Odd, isn’t it?
So now that you are a big girl or boy, all grown up, it’s time for you to thank that feeling for protecting you.
Tell it that it’s inappropriate for you to keep behaving as you did as a scared child, and you want to make your own choices about whether or not you are in danger anymore. So you will make 2 requests of it:
1. To shed the fear (sadness, anger, etc) factor, and come on along as an ally, rather than a preventor. Most times the energy will say yes.
2. To agree with you on some way it can warn you about what it thinks of as danger, and yet lets you remain in charge. Like, instead of making your belly tight and you start cringing and crying, it can simple say in your mind, “Watch out!” Or show you a red flag. Or make chills go up your back.
Now that you have thanked that feeling, and have released your judgements about it, look to see what it’s like now. Most people report that it looks lighter, smoother, more pleasant and supportive.
Are you still tapping? Good! Feels better now, doesn’t it! You can stop now, and check how much better your feel, just from reading this report!
All it was was energy that had gotten stuck in your system – twisted or turned to the point that it was backwards to your intended outcome.
Now that you can turn your energy around, look at that picture of your house and say, “Wow! Yes! Of course I can have that!” Which, of course, is true!
Take the judgement off, and look at it as sheer, undiluted energy that you could harness and use for your own.
Now you can take that energy and use it to create,
or continue living, your Dream!
It’s easy to see how utilizing the energy that was previously blocking you can give you an enormous boost. I hope you’ll use that boost each time you feel something that you don’t like.
Not liking how you feel is a good indication that there is stuck energy in your system. That you can clear it, harvest it and use it creatively!
Isn’t it amazing that all this time you have avoided feeling bad without understanding that those very feelings were trying to let you know that there was a jam to be cleared up?
Now you know what to do:
Notice you’re feeling “bad” – having one of those “negative” emotions.
Tap on your collarbone.
Check out where the feeling is in your body (or outside of it).
Get a good idea of where it is, what it looks, sounds and feels like.
Ask it why it’s there.
Make a new deal with it.
Decide what you want to do with all that new energy!
Now get back to your poster board, it’s waiting!
aloha,
Angela Treat Lyon

I’ve been entranced watching Deborah D. Miller use EFT, the Emotional Freedom Techniques, to help kids with cancer in Mexico.
When I got Deborah on the phone, she gave us such a clear, powerful example of what can be done for kids with tapping. And not just the kids! Whole families, their friends and communities are being affected. Wait til you hear!
In the US, when you get those funny ‘chills’ that mean something moves you profoundly, it is called goose bumps. Here in Hawaii, we call it chicken skin – and I got lots of it when I was speaking with Deborah!
You’ll hear how kids who have chosen to die heal and live; how their friends help them tap even though they thought tapping was silly; and how whole villages and families in Mexico now know how to tap….Deborah’s work at the hospital (OaxacaProject.com) isn’t about illness, it’s about creating wellness.
Click HERE for the first part of my interview with Deborah. During Deborah’s work, she helps kids uncover beliefs they have that they ‘should’ die because they believe it will help a sibling live, or cause less stress in the family…you’ll see what she does to help them alleviate and resolve those beliefs, what happens when she does, and the incredible affect on the community at large.
Click HERE for the second part of my interview with Deborah (about 10 min). What daring thing will Deborah do now, after she has been given $10K to help give Tappy Bear to the kids? Listen in as she describes how she is working on a special program to help kids, parents and practitioners, and what that will involve.
Click HERE for the third part of my interview with Deborah (about 10 min). If you’re an EFTer, you may want to perk your ears up on this one….
Deborah specializes in empowering individuals by helping them release their blocks and inhibitions followed by instilling new beliefs that allow them to step into their own power.
She has created EFT scripts and audios to help individuals with the EFT process, particularly with kids with cancer.

Having thought of myself as a renegade artist for so long, I never thought I’d be teaching anything – much less the subject of business or marketing – at any government agency.
So it was a real surprise when a friend of mine who is the course director at our local Honolulu Small Business Administration, called me and asked me if I’d like to give some classes there.
There are people who really could use what I know! So I put together four possible classes they might want to run.
So you can see the various possibilities, here’s what I proposed:
They wanted the internet marketing one.
That was a surprise, but I didn’t mind.
Then I had to think, “who is my audience? Who will be coming, and how do I prepare my class for that group?”
In your local SBA, I can almost guarantee you there will be at least one person who knows that women comprise 52+% of today’s business owners.
Women are sick and tired of the push marketing model, and are naturals for pull, or attractor, marketing, AND not only know how to do it, but have had a major presence in the bazaars and marketplaces of the world for hundreds of years.
What will teaching at the SBA get you?
If you offer a course at the SBA, you won’t even believe what that will get you. They have hundreds of members who are in biz who read the monthly press release that goes out announcing the classes.
That exposure alone can increase your readership considerably if you give a website address that has an opt-in box on it with an attractive offer for people to go sign up on your list.
Do you know something most people do not?
Do you have a skill or talent you can share?
The credibility from having taught just one class there would be all you’d need to catapult you into a whole new sphere of influence!
I suggest that you go down to your local SBA, if you have one, or a town near you, and see what’s up. If they have classes you can register for, take one and get to know the admin people, and make friends.
Then call them and mention that you have something they can use – and if they take it, you’re in!
…. or whatever your skills, knowledge or expertise is in.
Offer something that has to do with whatever you know how to do, and whatever you would feel comfortable showing a complete newbie how to do it.
Once you teach there for a few months, your name will get around as the one to go to for whatever you’re known as the expert at. People will start calling you and asking for services. So in addition to what you do online, you’ll also have a good local clientele.
Why would you want a local clientele?
Because you want to connect with and stay in touch with your local community; you don’t want your face in front of your computer screen all day anymore; and because it ain’t good for your bod to be sitting all day long.
I guarantee you that you know more about your subject than the “normal” person out there – and that makes you an expert to them! Try it!
Doing local classes strengthens your internet marketing expertise by improving your communication skills and self-confidence. You go!
I had the wonderful honor of being interviewed by Levi Ben Shmuel, who writes a great blog post for the Huffington Post, on the Sunday radio show in Santa Fe, NM that he hosts with 2 others.
I invite you to listen in on this shorty (5 minute) interview, where I describe graphically how big the problem of the Great Garbage Patch is: transradio.com.
They question me about my Paint 100 Paintings in 100 Days project to raise awareness of the problems around our consumption and discarding of plastic water bottles, and about the Great Garbage Patches in the oceans (there are five) – in the post called The New Good Life – John Robbins, Maitreya & A Floating Garbage Patch (show 1386) Sep 19th, 2010 Posted in Ecology & The Environment – Look for Hour #1. I was on the air from about minute 46 – 53.
I’m including Levi’s latest blog post – The Festival of Sukkot: 7 Nights, 7 Guests, 7 Inspirational Ways of Seeing.
I enjoyed it because he described a Jewish festival about which I had not one clue before. I was fascinated to discover about each of the 7 Guests, their essences, how they offer different gifts, and how to use these in your own daily life.

One of California’s foremost stone sculptors, Patricia Bengston-Jones is a shining example of a Daring Dreamer – someone who doesn’t take Normal for one minute and who bucks the odds to live her Deepest Dreams. Not because of any rebellion, necessarily, but because it’s simply who she is and what she does.
She’s a powerful example of someone who really lives her passion, not alowing the numbing, everyday trance that surrounds us that says, “get a job, be norrrrmaallll…” overtake her!
I was really taken with her work. I love the raw, mythical quality of it, and how she allows the stone to be stone, rather than trying to make something pretty-pretty out of it. It’s stone: heavy; plain; figured; textural; translucent; eternal; even humorous.
I love how her forms give you an inkling of a story, but not much more than will tickle your own frames of reference and put you on the beginning of a path to create your own stories from the images.
Here is one of the pieces I loved the most. Although these are all maritime themed, not all of her works are. Let’s Clean the Barnacles Off: made from Travertine and Slate, 10″ x 7″ x 20″
Here’s what she has to say on her site: PBengtson.com
“As a seeker of knowledge, with ten years of landscape and (color) field painting in 1972, I returned to finished my education, to find answers in my search of the ‘unknown’.
“This led me into sculpture and using concepts of the prehistoric monumental stone sites and myths. I visited England, Italy and Mexico, and lived in the Southwest.
I used the monolithic forms, arches and stacking or layering to denote the passage of time in my sculpture
“This background information along with the mythology of the Vikings, has helped me research my own heritage which combines Swedish and Northern European.
“My endless search has helped to shed some light on the unexplained phenomena of my past cultures. It enables my sculpture to come together as a ‘Passage to My Heritage.’ ”
Make sure you visit her site for more mythical, powerful stone and glass work – especially check out that gateway she’s carving in the image above! See lots more of her works at her website, PBengtson.com.

When I was a child, I admired the fact that my mother was a professional artist.
She painted stark watercolor land and seascapes, inspired by the windswept beaches, watering holes and harbors up and down the New England coast that she and my dad sailed through.
She was often commissioned to do pastel portraits of our friends, neighbors and their kids. I remember going with her to the portrait sittings and playing with the siblings of the kids who were sitting. We were all bored, and made fun by creating our own portraits. That’s where it all began for me.
This is one of her watercolors of Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, where we lived.
I wasn’t such a huge fan of her portraits, but I loved how she could get across the idea of the glassy water of Bar Harbor, Maine using one swipe of her brush, or the freedom of a gull in the air with only a squiggle made perfectly, freely just-so. Because of her, I started drawing at age six, and never stopped.
I used to pore through her art history books, study her sketches, snitch any old art materials it looked like she’d abandoned, and practice on her scraps of paper.
One of the things I remember clearly about her books were the gory, hideous war paintings from before World War I.
I didn’t realize that at the time that they were painted, drawings and paintings were the only way that anyone could communicate what was happening to people in one part of the world to the people in another.
Instantaneous communication is so now ubiquitous – even back then in the 50s with our dial phones, radio and the beginnings of TV – that I thought it was just sheer perversity that anyone would want to paint such subjects.
I misunderstood the function of art before radio and TV. I didn’t get that Goya’s paintings and Daumier’s drawings were like newspapers today, conveying what was going on at the time.
If you look back at their amazing work: Francisco Goya (see here) and Honore Daumier (see here), could have unquestionably been Pulitzer prize reporters for their eras. Nonetheless, I was dismayed by their subject matter – most of which was far milder than what is “normal” to see in the media today.
I decided that I’d never paint or carve anything so gruesome. I wanted to see color, light, delight, soul, depth, honesty, courage, beauty, inspiration, power, connection to the divine. I decided, too, that I had to go beyond just making art – I wanted to live my life artfully, as well – although I really didn’t know quite how to do that yet.
Over the years since those days, I have made a practice of just that: trying to live my life as artfully as I can. I’ve found that attempting to make each thing I do perfect leads to stagnation, boredom and huge anxiety (will it be good enough; can I do it?). Instead, I just slow myself down a fraction to be able to breathe in and out, look at what I’m doing or the person I’m with, then appreciate them as much as I can. When I do that, life seems to light up somehow.
I’ve noticed that people who have a hard time don’t quite reach the levels of success they’d like, or the relationships or money they want. They are also the ones who forget to add beauty to their lives.
I have also noticed that these same people also have a tendency to speed through their lives as if they are being chased by some huge expectation … that they simultaneously believe they will never attain!
Speeding through life produces an inability to appreciate your surroundings, your relationships, yourself or what you do accomplish.
You can’t – at least not as fully as you would, otherwise.
Think of the word “appreciation.”
The root word from which it is derived means “precious.”
To appreciate is to make precious, dear to your heart. Imagine if you stopped long enough during your day to appreciate your feet, and how they carry you all over the place. Even though you give them so little attention, there they are doing your work.
That’s living artfully.
Think of your kitchen. It’s where all the food in your life comes in, gets stored, cleaned, and prepared for your life fuel. How much do you appreciate your kitchen? What would it take to stand in the middle of that kitchen and look around, radiating appreciation to the counter tops, the sink, the fridge, the floor? Not much!
Then do it with other places in your house. You’ll notice that there will be places you’ll want to clean up a bit, maybe move some furniture around, open windows. Don’t be so anxious to do it right away, though.
Give the room your love first, and ask yourself, if I were to really love myself, and live artfully, appreciating and doing everything the best I could, how would I like this room to be?
Make mental notes as you go through your day as to what you could slow down, take a breath in and out, and appreciate. Then do it. Doesn’t have to take long at all!
Make mental notes about what you’d like to change in your house, your behavior, your relationships, your business. Make changes gradually, and celebrate them and how those changes make you feel.
Note and appreciate the people, things, and places that you want to honor for having stood by you for a long time. Even take a second to write a line of appreciation on a card and send it off to one of those people.
I know you can do it, and that the more you do, the better you’ll feel. And the better you feel, the better your life will be, day by day by day.
One of the most precious things that can help make your life as great as you wish it to be is an unshakable support system.
Whether that consists of your family, friends, co-workers, business team or a great coach, that support is essential.
These are the people (or person) to whom you can go and feel safe, and by whom you feel loved and uplifted.
With them, you can open your heart, let your hurts fall out on the floor for examination and healing, without any judgement or criticisms or you-should-haves.
They love and support you with massive amounts of love as you be with that pile of scary stuff, deal with it, and decide what to do next.
They stand by you as you go through and transform your circumstances, attitudes, thoughts, or situations so you end up feeling good, so you feel open and delighted again.
You know for certain that they have the uplifting energy and sweet, unbiased love and support that only someone who believes in you can give you.
You know for sure that, even if they don’t have any solutions for your problem, any new perspective through which to look, they still love you without judgement. And that they will be with you until and as you choose something new, something that does work for you.
You also know that, even if you don’t don’t like what they have to say, they will tell you the truth of their own experience; they will give you their opinion and perspective; and they will tell you how they feel.
And you know that they will never insist that you do anything their way–that yes, they’ll have their say, but they know that you need to make your own decisions that may even be in direct opposition to what they say or would do, themselves.
It’s a gift beyond measure. It’s like having a rock to lie down on in the sun and breathe in new light and life. It’s strength where there seemed, before, to be none. It’s a line to life when life itself seems impossible. It’s a mirror for the depth of your own power, the power that takes you where ever you want to go.
These are the kind of people who ask you what you’d like to get out of this situation, rather than joining you in blame, shame, resentment or pity parties. You’ve found a gem. What a gift!
If not, I invite you to become one, yourself, to at least one person.
You’ll find out what it’s like, to be that generous, that kind, that truthful. It will grow you faster than you can even begin to imagine. And one day you’ll see that you’ve had people like this in your life the whole time–you just never knew it. You just never recognized them.
If you do you have people in your life who love you and support you, who make you feel safe and like you can do anything you set your mind to, then send them love and gratitude, because they need it, too!

Annabel Fisher is the founder of AAMET (Association of the Advancement of Energy Techniques). I want you to see how her courage and determination helped her continue on through a terrible illness to come out the other side and create a world-wide organization that helps thousands of people become emotionally free.
In today’s chaotic world, her story serves to remind us that we really can persevere and triumph.
Click on the icon to the left to listen in on our interview as we talk about how she and I both used EFT (tapping) to relieve ourselves of very intense, chronic conditions that we feared would be with us for the rest of our lives.
Take careful note of what she did to help herself, and how at first it seemed like it backfired on her!
She had been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and was very painfully going about her life feeling ill, exhausted and in a wheelchair. I suffered from suicidal depression. We were both filled with anger, fear and resentment–and ended up clearing it all.
OK, you’ve heard of people using tapping to get rid of illnesses, depression and pain before, but I bet you didn’t know that, for a while, tapping felt like it was making things worse for us both!
I had been tapping for 4 or 5 weeks (this was 2002, when I was an Artist-in-Residence living in New Zealand), and I thought I was the only one this seemingly backwards experience happened to, and felt very discouraged. Find out why that happened to us, and what our answers were–hers in the UK, mine halfway across the world in NZ.
You’ll also find out about why she started AAMET in Canada, where else it is now available, what her trainings are like and who else she recommends for those of you who want to become top-notch practitioners.
If you are attracted to becoming an EFT practitioner, please know that there are very good training and certifications available other than Gary Craig’s.
These workshops and programs help you get hands-on training with other live students, so you not only increase your knowledge and understanding of tapping, but also your ability to work one-on-one with other, real human beings. This is training you won’t get sitting there watching DVDs.
I highly recommend Annabel’s trainings.
She is the Creator of The Healing Game Process, and is the leading authority on using this process to reclaim vibrant health and true authenticity. She is the host of the radio show, The Healing Game.
Annabel Fisher has worked with thousands of chronically ill clients from around the world since 2004. Her journey with this work began when she healed a chronic health condition of her own, in which she was wheelchair-bound. As a result of her work in the field of chronic illness, Annabel wrote the book, The Healing Game: Transforming Chronic Illness Using EFT
This is a little video of an interview featuring me with Liv Delicious host, Helena Summer Medena, in Hawaii.
Angela Treat Lyon on Living Delicious with Helena from Helena Summer Medena on Vimeo. 27 minutes.
Can you imagine yourself walking in the door one day and announcing to your 5 kids and husband that you want to close up all your affairs where you are, and move–lock stock and barrel–all the way across the ocean to another country? Where they don’t speak a word of the language?
It’s a true story! Saskia Roell rallied herself, her husband and their 5 young kids, and moved from Holland to a tiny seacoast town in Massachussetts.
Find out why on earth she would want to do such a thing out of the blue, and how she did it–seamlessly and in fun.
Click on the Daring Dreamers Radio logo to the left to get to my 32 minute interview of Saskia.
You’ll be inspired and moved at how one person can create such a sense of adventure and excitement that a whole town ends up supporting them – even right up to when their household possessions come – how the kids learned English in only a few months, and what kind of job opportunities presented themselves right at their feet

Rupa Marya: Respected Doctor, accomplished Musician, is such an inspiration to those of us who are not strictly right or left brain oriented. She’s the perfect embodiment of the idea that left informs right, right enhances left. She juggles two seemingly disparate careers – and thrives doing it!
In short, she decided to go for her doctorate, but couldn’t stay away from music. She decided to do both–and kept each side secret from the other! As I searched for other viable news reports about her, I found these two articles below. I hope you enjoy reading about her!
From ABC news: (Read the whole thing HERE)
“Rupa Marya grew up seriously thinking she would become a doctor. She also wanted to be a singer, it was what her parents – immigrants from India wanted for her as well. Her heart was also in music so she felt pressure to choose between medicine or music.”
From Boston: (Read the whole thing HERE)
She says, “”Watching this country become more fearful and journalists becoming the mouthpiece of the administration, I became so angry,” says Marya, on the phone from Sweden. She performs with the April Fishes Tuesday at Johnny D’s as part of a North American tour that includes the Montreal Jazz Festival and Quebec City’s Festival d’Été.
“I couldn’t pick up my guitar,” Marya says. “It was too painful. But then I started to think about what would it be like to create music that reflected what I wanted to see in the world, to give a voice to the things that weren’t getting any airtime. I started with an assignment to write 10 songs about love, compassion, and uncertainty in a time of love across borders.
“How we convey information to one another is something that’s very interesting to me,” Marya says. “As a doctor, there are so many ways you can miscommunicate, and it’s always a challenge. How do you tell somebody they’re dying? How do you tell an audience that people in their neighborhood are living with so much fear of being deported that they don’t seek proper medical help? It’s like the riddle of my life, and I explore it several different ways, through music, and through these kinds of investigations.”
Although much of Judith’s career was spent in corporate America, now she taps on dogs (and humans!)!
Take hope and inspiration from this, especially if you have a job you hate or that doesn’t pay you much–you, too, can learn to tap and help people.
Listen in as she describes how she helped her friend’s angry, sad and confused pooch stop acting out after his best friend died.

Have you ever been told to hush up?
Or told to lighten up?
Or maybe someone said to you: “get a thicker skin,” or “you’re too sensitive!”
Or, “Get serious!”
And did you end up trying to be some way that was completely not ‘you’ in an attempt to be loved or more acceptable?
I have. I’ve been shushed, told not to laugh (right!) and in particular, not to laugh so loud. And, “You’re too much!” If I had a dollar for each time I’ve heard that I’d never have to work another day in my life.
I simply, naturally, as part of my energy make-up, have lots of ‘swift,’ substantial, powerful energy. It comes with Angela Treat Lyon territory.
But I used to think that, in order to be more acceptable, I ‘should’ be more quiet, speak more softly, walk more gracefully–that there was something wrong with me.
Ha! There certainly wasn’t! Yes, of course I’m OK with me now, but I sure didn’t used to be. And I used to compensate for what I thought of as my blunders and gaffs by trying not being my natural self. I ended up trying to be an ideal that just didn’t fit me, and I felt like a fraud, unaccepted and really, really angry. I was living a lie, and I was afraid to live my truth.
This week, I finally availed myself of Carol Tuttle’s Online Energy Profiling system. I wish now I had gotten it before when I first heard of it. She really hits home when she says that the very thing you don’t like about yourself or that you’ve been criticized for may be your greatest gift–even your mission!
I am really impressed with the clarity and quality of Carol’s site, the videos and Carol’s delivery. BUT–most of all, Carol’s knowledge and ability to deliver it in a soft, yet incisive way, while simultaneously weaving in pointed stories about herself and her own family and how profound this information has been for her, had me riveted.
I am so impressed. I’m not a sit-down-and-watch-videos-for-hours person, but I sat in this very seat and spent three+ hours watching each online video segment, beginning to end. They were that good. No, they were astounding.
No hype, no this-is-how-it-is, no you-must-do-this or thats–just clear information that makes things understandable. So simple–yet complex and deep; interwoven so neatly. It was such a pleasure to listen, watch and soak in every word she said. I even watched a couple of the segments more than once–unheard of for me–I’m a watch-once-and-that’s-it person.

See what you have to say to these phrases and questions:
Have you ever been told:
You’re too much!
Lighten up!
Get a spine!
Don’t be so loud!
You don’t need to be a perfectionist!
You’re too sensitive!
Or been asked:
Why do you always have to be the life of the party?
Why do your legs bounce like that–are you going somewhere?
Who the heck cares about your family tree, anyway?
How can you sit there without moving an inch?
Other than collapsing into I-can’t-be-me, or feeling angry and rebellious that you’re not OK the way you are, or just ignoring the hurt.
But if you were familiar with the four types of energy, you’d know that each one of those questions and statements fits one particular profile. And if someone said one of those things to you, you’d know how to respond!
If you have been told that you’re the life of the party, did you know that you have an important mission? Don’t let people misread you anymore–you do have value, just the way you are. Could you imagine Goldie Hawn trying to be serious? Wrong!
And doesn’t it get old being told you’re too sensitive, get a thick skin?
Did you know there’s a purpose for your sensitivity and you’re just as valuable and precious as anyone else? And did you know that highly sensitive people are in the forefront of thought and design in the world?
I was able to use Carol’s energy type information this week with a client when I realized that I was using words that fit my own energy style rather than hers, and she was blocking them like a wall. When I started using words that fit her energetic style, she opened up immediately. This is way beyond NLP!
I want you to imagine how you’d like your relationships to improve–whether with family, friends, clients, co-workers or complete strangers. They will once you understand the energy types better.
You’ll find out what mission 1s have in the world, why 4s like to wear black, why 2s are so obsessed with past and future, and why us 3s are so bold!
Carol shares some poignant anecdotes about herself, her husband and her kids–how their lives improved and how much more they understand and appreciate each other now that they get what their energy configurations are.
I wish I’d had this understanding right from the start–what a difference it would have made–maybe my family and I wouldn’t have had the ultimate dysfunctional experience! We all could have lived our truthful beingnesses.
I strongly recommend Carol’s Online Energy Profiling system.
What makes Energy Profiling® one of the most accurate assessment tools is it’s reference to not only personality traits, but to our unique expression in body language and physical features. Because personality can be altered, adapted, and shamed, many people are not living true to their dominant expression in all areas of life. Consider the possibility that the way you doodle and your facial features may say more about who you really are than your personality!
Discover what Type of person you are by discovering your unique Energy Profile® today and start living true to the power of you! Pretty amazing.
