Soul-Odyssey Radio affords me the opportunity to interview some very interesting and knowledgeable authors.

10 Ways To Tell If A Product Is (Or Isn’t) Really ‘Natural’

Beth Greer is a bestselling author and Green living advocate. Beth was able to heal herself from a benign tumor that was causing her a great deal of pain in her chest. Although surgery was recommended she courageously learned about natural remedies and removing toxins from her body, her home and her cosmetics to live a truly healthy life. Her work is endorsed by Deepak Chopra, Ralph Nader, Peter Coyote and Dr. Joe Mercola. Beth is leading a movement of awareness and responsibility about healthy home, work and school environments.

It is such a blessing to see that Green living is a movement. Back in the late 80s when people began pursuing what was then called the “New Age,” it was seen as odd if you wanted to protect your children from sugar, additives and processed foods. I remember when I was in college and I went into my first health food store. Have a refrigerator section with carob and bulk grains seemed so exotic to me. I remember reading the classic book “Sugar Blues” by William Duffey and being so blown away by how much sense it made that we have way too much refined sugar in our diets.

When my children were little  I was in my earth mother stage and lived on a farm. I was somewhat macrobiotic and would not give my children sugar. Beth describes a similar experience when her child first tasted the dreaded chicken nugget. In my house my oldest daughter had gone to a birthday party in town and brought home a goody bag with chocolate in it. Her little brother got a hold of it and hid behind the couch shoveling it all in at once. We didn’t see him do it. The next thing we knew he was jumping all over the room from couch to window seat to couch and began throwing plastic kid chairs all over the place. When we saw the empty candy wrappers we didn’t need an FDA study to tell us that he was reacting to the sugar and very likely the caffeine in the candy.

I am grateful that in the 2000s environmental consciousness and a connection between what we eat and our health is a mainstream idea. We do need to put our emphasis on disease prevention especially now that we can pinpoint many of things that really do work. Take a listen to this week’s show and learn how you too can have a “super natural house.”

Dr. Lee Vickers has taught thousands of people how to heal themselves and access their Divine light to live fuller, happier lives of abundant energy. Listen to this interview with host Deborah Herman as she and Dr. Vickers discuss “Bodies of Light,” how it works and how you too can access it for yourself and those you love.

Deborah and her mystic wonderhorse "Tonk"

I have spent most of my adult life aware of being on a Spiritual Path. I have mystic gifts that help me understand the world in what my mother used to call “technicolor.” Some people who are of a Christian background consider the gifts to be those of the Holy Spirit. I am grateful to have a sensitivity to the world around us and to be able to use those gifts to help people feel the presense of the Divine Spark in their everyday lives. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized that my mystical gifts also extended to understanding the thoughts of animals. It was difficult to grasp at first. I can relate to Eddie Murphy in the more recent “Dr. Doolittle” movies when he discovered that the animals wanted him to help them out with everything. Once they knew he could hear them he was put in charge of the complaint department. One of my first experiences as an animal telepath was with a group of draft horses. I was visiting a farm and waiting for a friend who owned the horses. I was daydreaming when I noticed that two horses had turned from their hay and were staring at me. Then I heard very distinctly “you don’t belong here.” I looked around and noticed that there was no one there. I looked back at the horses and thought to myself. “No, it couldn’t be.”

I love horses. They are so straight forward.

They were checking me out horsie style

When I realized it was the horses talking to me with their thoughts I reassured them. “Your mom said it was okay for me to visit here. I am waiting for her.” As soon as I sent the message with my thoughts and said it out loud for good measure the horses both turned around and went back to eating their hay. If you love animals and want to know what they think, follow my blog and my many adventures with animal communication. They have a lot to say. They really want us to understand them. I will share tips on how you can understand your beloved pets.Sometimes it is all about the food as you would expect. But sometimes they are far more observant and say the darndest things. They can tell us many things about ourselves and the world around us. My horse, Tonk, taught me a lot about animal communication. He sends me thoughts and pictures. I even have some videos where I have translated his thoughts into English. That is how my animal communication gifts work. This is my first blog post so I want to introduce some of the future topics. The blog will be about animals but will cover other subjects of spirituality as well including spiritual writing and publishing, books to influence the journey on this planet, guests who join me on my radio show, how you can develop your own gifts, and how to promote yourself in the digital age. I also welcome your suggestions and guest bloggers on the many topics we will be discussing. I love that the internet has opened so many avenues for communication with like-thinking people.
