IH4Y Radio Show with host Karen Claffey Today's Topic: Life After Cancer; Rejuvenation & Detox Program With guest Lee Majewski, Hatha Yoga, Yoga Therapy, Rejuvenation & Detox for Cancer Patients/Chronic Cures for Chronic Diseases. It is documented fact that cancer cases are on the rise throughout the world. Most of the patients choose allopathic treatments involving chemotherapy and/or radiation. Typically, chemotherapy and/or radiation leave patients physically exhausted or debilitated. The body so treated has been subjected to poisons, which indiscriminately attacked the body cells for a long period of time. Long chemotherapy results often in “chemotherapy-induced cognitive dysfunction“ or “chemo brain”; and patients suffer from depression, mental confusion, lack of ability to focus and loss of short-term memory. Such states often lead to crisis in values in the lives of the patients. Lee Majewski invites cancer patients to participate in a Detoxification and Rejuvenation Program. Based on yoga philosophy and Naturopathic science, this comprehensive three-week program is designed specifically with gentle yet thorough cleansing in mind. www.kdham.com/cancer www.kdham.com/chroniccures/

Today's Show Topic: AstroPsychology; Vedic Astrology, Your Health, Your Destiny With guest Vitaly Padalets, Astrologer, Yoga Teacher, Tours for Harmony | www.physculture.org Astrology, specifically Vedic astrology or Jyotish, is a great diagnostics tool which can give detailed insight about a person’s character and the destiny with which they have come into this life. An astrologer can also see what energies are influencing the current creation of a person's life and destiny. With this knowledge, the astrologer provides a sense of awareness of these influences as well as practical suggestions as to how to change the negative effects of past actions and put the consequences from positive decisions and actions to good use and service. An astrologer can provide informed guidance on many topics such as: Goal in life The subconscious programs, emotions, thoughts and actions that are holding you back from being happy, healthy, successful. Personal relationships, business relations and compatibility Where to live Talents, profession, how to make money Where the focus in life should be now and in the future. Vitaly's approach to AstroPsychology: Philosophy to me is “what we KNOW or need to know” and psychology is “now that we know, what do we DO with it? How do we change our desires, thoughts and actions?” With that in mind, my goal in AstroPsychology consultations is to help another understand the main goal in life. How can they practically go about life to be harmonious on the four levels: physical, social, intellectual and spiritual. By helping a person become harmonious on these four levels, I am sure that they will develop a strong foundation for a happy, healthy and successful life in all spheres. I would like to underline how important it is to have the right approach to astropsychology consultations or any consultations for that matter. Without the right intention, mindset and proper outlook on life, an astrologer or anyone who is trying to help another could discourage a person from working on themselves and changing their life and even drive them away from unconditional love and damage their life. It would be like a doctor who smokes yet tells patients to stop smoking. Therefore, we at PhysCulture put a great emphasis on working on ourselves first and being sincere and open with our lives with everyone we meet. We wish you unconditional love, harmony, happiness, health and success.

Self-Care Reform: How to Discover Your Own Path to Good Health with guest, Rusty Gregory Rusty has served in the fitness industry for the last 25 years as a personal fitness trainer and for the last five years as a wellness coach. He recently wrote a book and supplemental journal, Self-Care Reform: How to Discover Your Own Path to Good Health, addressing the issue of helping people start and sustain their own personal wellness program. He has used his own experience as a trainer and my training as a wellness coach to formulate a program that meets the need of moving people towards healthy lifestyle behaviors. Also, he has written a second book, Living Wheat-Free For Dummies that was published six weeks ago. We’ve been told for decades that eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, managing our stress, getting enough sleep, and stopping smoking is prudent preventative health care, and it is. But, it hasn’t worked! We’re sicker, fatter, and more stressed and sleep deprived than ever before; not to mention soaring healthcare costs. Why? Because many times there is disconnect from the health information we receive and our desire to take action. Believing we should take action, but don’t, only leads to ambivalence and prolonged inaction. This is where Rusty's program (book/journal) steps in. It bridges the gap between information and action. It addresses the ambivalence that can paralyse our will to take action with our health with its create-your-own style program. It doesn't take the place of an existing wellness program, it reinforces it.

IH4Y Radio Show with host Karen Claffey May 28th, 2014 topic Kababah Yoga; Heal Your Body and Awaken Your Spirit with guest Audi Gozlan from Montreal, Quebec Over the years, Audi Gozlan, LL.D. has learned to fill his life with rich and diverse experiences. He practices law but he is also well known for his writings and paintings. He is a fervent academic and has dedicated a stream of his life to the pursuit of spiritual and physical enlightenment. These days he’s most excited about two seemingly disparate ideas: the ancient Jewish mysticism of Kabalah and the wildly popular art of yoga. Audi believes that each of us is the author of our life, and has the power to write a story of fulfillment that may determine our future. Life is a book that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The pages of this volume are the narratives that document our trials, challenges, and passions. A masterpiece is not about the cover of the book. Rather it is about the energy and influence the book will have on you. Does your story have a purpose? A sense of unity? A direction? Does it have a heart? Kabalah Yoga is the fruit of Audi Gozlan’s long-time dedication to both physical and spiritual advancement. Kabalah Yoga teaches that by posturing into the Hebrew letters and flowing into the spelling of meaningful ideas, you will improve your story by bringing more inspiration, beauty, love, and harmony into the world.

Guest B Grace Bullock PhD, E RYT-500, Intervention Scientist, Author, Educator, Certified Viniyoga Therapist www.mind-bodytherapy.com Do you often find yourself in emotionally charged situations that leave you physically and emotionally exhausted? High intensity emotion often triggers the same brain systems responsible for coping with trauma. These systems require a tremendous amount of energy. In the case of chronic, high intensity emotion, these systems become depleted, as do we. Emotional intelligence is at the heart of happy, successful personal and professional relationships. Mindfulness-based emotional intelligence skills allow us to examine and understand our emotional sensations, experiences, and reactions so that we can better handle high intensity events. Many of these skills are derived from ancient yogic philosophies and practices including pranayama, meditation, mantra and others. We will explore the basic tenets of emotional intelligence from both a Western and a yogic perspective to see how the powerful synchrony of these philosophies can help us to manage emotional stressors, and to be present for our students, and our clients/patients.

Guest: Antonio Sausys, BA Psychology, MA Somatic Psychotherapy Yoga Therapist, TV Host specializes in one-on-one yoga therapy for people with chronic and acute medical conditions as well as emotional imbalance. Founder-director Yoga for Health (International Yoga Therapy Conference: www.yogatherapyconference.com, Author: http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Grief-Relief-Practices-Transforming/dp/1608828182 www.yogaforgriefrelief.com With her guest Antonio, Karen will unravel grief and how it can be a path towards self-knowledge and transformation. Grief is not always about death. We all have experience with grief, from faded youth to failed love to the loss of a job or valued material possession. And far from being strictly emotional, grief can express itself in a variety of physical forms such as poor posture, insomnia, lack of energy, shortness of breath, even actual physical pain. Antonio learned from his teacher and mentor Lyn Prashant, that we don’t get over our losses, we transform our relationship to them. He believes that grief is a potent source of self knowledge. Then, there is a natural progression from one to the other: if we are able to transform our relationship to grief in a way that results in improved self-knowledge, then we can establish a new identity. We identify ourselves through the persons and things we are attached to; when we lose them, we lose part of who we are. Yet we continue being, only in a way that is not known to us. The process of finding our new self is multi-layered. It involves understanding and dealing with the physical symptoms of grief; actually completing the grieving process; and re-identifying our selves, not based on preconceived or relearned notions but instead on our true essence, the one we’ve come so much closer to thanks to having been stripped of our previous identity. http://www.ih4y.com/
