Do you confuse spirituality with religion? We can be both religious and spiritual, or religious without being spiritual, or spiritual without being religious. By Dr. Margaret Paul.
You go to church every Sunday and you say your prayers every day. Does this mean you are a spiritual person?No.You practice yoga and meditate every day. Does this mean you are a spiritual person?No.You belong to spiritual group and are devoted to following the teachings of the group. Does this mean you are a spiritual person?No.What, then, does it mean to be a spiritual person?Being a spiritual person is synonymous with being a person whose highest priority is to be loving to yourself and others. A spiritual person cares about people, animals and the planet, and strives to be a kind person. A spiritual person knows that we are all One, and consciously attempts to honor this Oneness.You can go to church every Sunday and say your prayers every day, without caring about being kind and loving to yourself, others and to the planet. You can practice yoga and meditate every day without being conscious of what is loving and what is not loving in your thoughts and actions. You can belong to a spiritual group and devotedly follow the teachings, yet still be judgmental toward yourself and others in your daily life.There are many people who do not practice a religion, who do not meditate, pray or belong to any group, who are very spiritual people. These people naturally do caring things for others. They think about how they can help. Their thoughts are kind rather than judgmental toward themselves and toward others. When you look at them, you see kindness in their eyes.There are many religious people who are anything but kind. We all know of religious people who are extremely judgmental, righteous and outright mean. Can you be both religious and spiritual? Of course! But only when you are operating in your religion from your heart rather than from the learned dogma of your mind.Years ago I very briefly attended a "spiritual" group. People would meet in an auditorium to hear the leader of the group speak. The second time I attended I heard a number of parents yelling at their children and judging them to try to control them. These parents were being anything but kind with their children. That was the last time I attended the spiritual group. The focus of the group was surrender to God, but love was rarely in the picture! They obviously had a very different experience of God than I do.My experience of God is that God is the energy of Love that created us and sustains us. In my experience, "God is Spirit" (John 4:24) and "God is love" (1 John 4:16). Anything that is not of love, peace, joy, truth and kindness is not of God. Praying to God does not mean that you are allowing the spirit that is God - the love, peace, joy, truth and kindness that is God - to guide your thoughts and actions. Practicing yoga or meditating does not mean that you have invited the love that is God into your heart, or that you are turning to that ever-present love to learn about what is in your highest good, and the highest good of others and the planet.If you want to be a spiritual person, then let kindness be your guiding light - kindness toward yourself, toward others, toward animals and toward this beautiful planet that is our home. Recognize that we all have the spark of love that is God within us, and learn to honor that love so that you can know and experience the Oneness of all that is.Practicing Inner Bonding and learning to be kind to yourself inevitably leads to kindness to others. Inner Bonding is a powerful spiritual path.

Kat James- Total Transformation
Monday Oct 21, 2019
Monday Oct 21, 2019
Kat James transformed her body and skin beyond recognition after a 12-year eating disorder and autoimmune disease nearly took her life. Without drugs or deprivation, the principles, strategies and resources that took her years to stumble on ultimately cured not only Kat's heroin-like addiction to food (resulting in a loss of ten dress sizes), but the skin-disfiguring liver disease and other issues that destroyed her health, beauty, and self-image for more than a decade. Today, at forty-four, and with none of the effort typically made to maintain such dramatic weight loss and transformation, Kat continues to defy the no-pain, no-gain, "boot camp" myths of beauty and slimness in her well-researched teachings, and in her vibrant living example.Called "a master of self-transformation" by Self magazine's Mary Christ Anderson, Kat's advice and programs have been featured on Today, Hallmark Channel's New Morning, TBS' Movie and a Makeover, and in nearly every fashion and natural health magazine, including Vogue, Glamour, Oprah's magazine, O, Alternative Medicine, and Natural Health. Through her newly updated and re-released bestseller, The Truth About Beauty, national health columns, PBS special, and acclaimed, cruise- and villa-based Total Transformation® programs since 2000, Kat has helped thousands to mastermind their own healing transformations using science and strategy, rather than suffering or short-sighted quick-fixes. Known for her powerful "lifestyle upgrades" that produce visible change in a matter of days, and for her collection of one-of-a-kind resources that spell the difference between failure and success, Kat's teachings have consistently enabled others to replicate her own remarkable results, and garnered the endorsement of many leaders in nutrition and health.Adding a compelling dimension to Kat's rare perspective are her years in the world of fashion as one of the most sought-after beauty experts and celebrity makeup artists of the 90's. A former consultant and on-camera spokesperson for Maybelline, Max Factor and Revlon, Kat's aesthetic background, along with years of creating illusions of perfection on models as she struggled to conquer her own beauty demons has deepened her grasp of the emotional, physical, and superficial constraints that must be shed in order to unlock the true radiant potential in each of us.The recent re-release of The Truth About Beauty has garnered James the 2009 Silver Nautilus Book Award. After ascending to #1 out of 200 titles at Beyond Words Publishing in 2006, primarily by word of mouth, publishing giant Simon and Schuster's Atria Books division honored The Truth About Beauty with a Featured Re-release in January of 2008. Kat's part-memoir, part how-to encyclopedia—relied on by consumers and professionals alike—is now comprehensively updated. With forty percent new material, book-wide research updates, dramatic success stories, Kat's highly anticipated collection of Recipes for Transformation, and her Total Transformation® Teleseminars and full-curriculum Teleprograms to reinforce its application, the featured re-release takes readers' transformations to unprecedented levels.

Sunday Oct 13, 2019
The podcast is the culmination of almost 20 years of studies, people and concepts. I tried my best to remain pure of heart to provide the best information possible. About what you ask? Why we are here and all the questions about what in the hell is going on. I ask nothing from you other than if this message makes sense to you please share it with everyone. What message? WE ARE ALL ONE, and together we can solve humanities problems.

Positive Talk Radio- Dolly Mae Conscience Consultant

Sunday Oct 13, 2019
I made money. I lost money. I did not know what psychic was. Now I am one. I traveled, taught and consulted; everywhere. I learned a few things on my journey to make me think outside the box. I started doing readings as a joke and learned that is the best training. I wrote a couple of books to offer new perspectives. I learned to do regressions so I could uncover my own issues. In an accidental 4 hour intensive consultation one night people freed themselves of paralyzing burdens; so I added it to my bag of tricks. I learned to have a listening ear, to hold space and to meditate. I embrace change, kicking and screaming. My worthiest goal is to have every thought be loving. I fail well and often. I keep trying. I love what I do. I am happy. Dolly Mae Consciousness Consultantdolly@dollymae.com 206.992.2074 Call or email me. We'll have a cup of tea and talk. Things will be better. You'll see.

Sadly Michael has passed on now, but he truly left behind a lasting legacy. As he lays out in his book anyone can learn to heal others through "laying on" of the hands, using energy to actually heal what problems you may have, both in person and remotely. His goal was to teach others how to use his system for good. Rest in peace Michael, I hope this podcast helps to bring awareness to your book so that you can continue your work!

I spent 25 years as a sportscaster on Seattle area television and 10 years as a digital media host for the Seattle Seahawks website. I’m a U.S. Army veteran, author of three books, media consultant and public speakers. I’ve hosted hundreds of nonprofit events and find time to give back whenever I can. I’ve lived in Newcastle with my wife Mika since 2003 and we both love it here!
