Living in Joy focuses on how love and A Course in Miracles can transform your life. Joy heals. This show covers topics such as forgiveness, prayer, healing, abundance, prosperity, awakening, listening to the Holy Spirit, and the power of God-centered living. Each week, you will learn how to apply the simple practices of A Course in Miracles in your life.

When you make a decision to see beyond the appearance of sickness and problems, and consistently hold your focus on love and the truth, sickness and problems disappear. Join Lisa Natoli each week for inspiring stories, words of encouragement, practical tips on how to easily move from fear to love, and interviews with top spiritual teachers and authors whose lives have been transformed by A Course in Miracles.

    The Great Paradox: You're Not a Body, Yet the Body Will Be Strong and Healthy

    Does your body seem frail and weak to you? Do you often feel like a prisoner in it, bound to aging, aches, pains, sickness, and limitation? If so, this show is for you. A Course in Miracles is very clear that you are not a body—you are  free. Yet there is an interesting sentence in Workbook Lesson 135 that says, "The body will be strong and healthy if ... " Come join Lisa Natoli as she talks about this idea, along with how defenses and planning are attacks against yourself. The body needs no complicated structures of defense, no health-inducing medicine, no care, and no concern at all. As you perceive the body as being apart from you, in service to the Holy Spirit, it becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument through which the mind can operate until its usefulness is finished.

    Settle Every Problem Now With Trust

    All problems, difficulties, pain, and sickness come from one thing: the belief in separation. If you experience pain and problems, you are living off-centered, alone in a world of seeming separate bodies that you think have nothing to do with you. Come join spiritual teacher Lisa Natoli, cofounder of the Teachers of God Foundation, as she talks about trust. Trust is the recognition of everything as perfect, exactly as it is. When you don't have trust, you want to control other people's behavior and attempt to change circumstances. Without trust, you have to always be alert and on guard so things go your way. With trust, you see everything as perfect. On today's show, Lisa gives a visual description of "being in the center" (where you have no problems) and "being in the outer circle" (where all problems and difficulties occur). You don't have to suffer, at all, ever again.

    Thought and belief combine into a power surge that moves mountains. Jesus gives a four-step remedy for healing in A Course in Miracles, and it's so simple anyone can do it. It requires you to forgive, love, and let go of fear. If you are willing to do that, you can heal anything. It requires a total commitment and constant mind-watching, which most people are not used to. We are used to complaining, criticizing, blaming, feeling guilty, attacking, gossiping, judging, comparing, and looking outside ourselves for healing and solutions. Jesus says, "You are much too tolerant of mind-wandering." Come join Lisa Natoli, spiritual director of the Teachers of God Foundation, as she shares the four steps for the correction of fear that lead to healing.

    If you have ever wondered why you say you want peace (and joy and happiness), but your experience is conflict, depression, anger, guilt, and doubt, tune in to today's show with Max Just and Lisa Natoli! If you don't have peace consistently, the reason is simple: You don't want it. A Course in Miracles gives us four obstacles to peace, and the No. 1 obstacle is your desire to get rid of it. Do you throw love away when it shows up? Do you look for things to criticize, judge, and fight with when things start to get peaceful? Do you feel stress and anxiety when things start going good? This is a normal, habitual pattern for most people because we have trained ourselves for conflict and struggling in life. Peace makes most people nervous. They think a peaceful life will be boring, so the mind does things unconsciously to stay in drama. If you feel that you really do want peace and you are ready for a life of joy and happiness, where you feel centered, clear, and grateful, this show is for you!    For more information about A Course in Miracles and the Teachers of God Foundation, please visit teachersofgod.org.

What can you do to have a more consistent experience of awareness and your self as Presence? Join Lisa Natoli as she talks with Rupert Spira, author and teacher of nonduality, about the importance of practicing. Also in this one hour, a great description of the ego from a nondual perspective and how to relate to the body regarding health, healing, and sickness. Rupert describes how we get "a first glimpse" into our True Nature, but that first glimpse is not enough to dismantle the belief of separation, which you may have been practicing for 30, 40, 50 years. It's like playing the piano. You may have played the piano alone for 10 years, the way you thought you were supposed to play, and may not be aware of some of the habits that keep you from being great. Same with the belief in separation. When you live a certain way for so long (believing in separation, believing in sadness, depression, guilt), it takes a moment for new habits to become your new way of being: The Light of Pure Knowing.    For more information about A Course in Miracles and the Teachers of God Foundation, visit teachersofgod.org.

Join Lisa Natoli as she talks about one of her top role models and inspirations in her own life: American dancer and choreographer Martha Graham (1894–1991). If you feel that you are "too old" to do things you love, this show is for you! Martha Graham was 76 when she felt her life was over, after a lifetime of great success. When she stopped dancing, she lost her will to live, began drinking, and ended up in the hospital for a long time, much of it in a coma. Graham not only survived her hospital stay, but thrived. In 1972, she quit drinking, returned to her studio, reorganized her company, and went on to choreograph 10 new ballets and many revivals. Graham choreographed until her death in New York City from pneumonia in 1991, at age 96. Also in this one-hour show is Louise Hay's story. She started her life in her 50s after making a decision to stop being a victim and begin sharing her light with others. Now is a great time to connect with the light you are and start doing the things you really love to do.    For more information about A Course in Miracles and the Teachers of God Foundation, please visit teachersofgod.org.

He was joined in God's will—and when you line up your will with God's will, miracles occur. In today's episode, Lisa Natoli gives two simple (but radical!) procedures to use every morning—every day!—from A Course in Miracles to have a happy day.    For more information about A Course in Miracles and the Teachers of God Foundation, please visit: teachersofgod.org

    Paul Gaudreau: Buckle Up and Trust—Recovery From Addiction

    What is addiction? How do you break the shame cycle? How do you recover? What does gratitude have to do with it? Come join Paul Gaudreau, who is 36 years' sober and almost a lifetime of living the ideas A Course in Miracles, in this show as he describes his definition of addiction as self-imaging, being self-contained, self-seeking, and self-defense. Recovery occurs in service, gratitude, and looking at your thought system. Addiction is an idea of yourself separate from God, stuck in an illusion of your own making, acting out in shame, guilt, blame, and fear. Many people are addicted to the word addicted—addicted to being a recovered alcoholic, addicted to figuring it out, addicted to relying on themselves instead of relying on God. Paul describes how he had to "buckle up and trust" and take an honest look at what was going on around him. He had to look at the shame cycle, how he had acted out, and how he was willing to go to his darkest spots and be willing to see what was there. Are you tired of being angry, sick, and tired? Are you willing to see things differently? Listen in. This interview with Paul contains many brilliant actions you can take in your own life to see change and get out of your own self-containment.

    What are you parking spots for the ego to hide in your life? Do you know? Are you ready to find out what you are afraid of, and do something about it? Come do the work, discover Who You Are, and join this inspiring interview with Katja Maria Strandgaard, one of Lisa Natoli's teachers who she turns to for guidance. Katja is a healer, therapist, and teacher of A Course in Miracles who receives messages from Mary Magdalene. In this talk, Katja says one of the ways you can notice if you are hiding is if you are blaming someone. Blame is one of the ways the ego hides, hoping you will never notice and never look at your own unconscious fear. Come figure out how you are attacking yourself. How do you keep yourself small and limited? Do you speak up when you are afraid and correct it in your own mind, or do you hide behind a spiritual idea such as "I'm not a body" and "I need do nothing"? Once you know the ways you hide, you can do something about it. You can confront the fear, allowing the light of God to shine it away.    For more information about A Course in Miracles and the Teachers of God Foundation, please visit teachersofgod.org.

    Robert Perry: Discussing the New and Complete Annotated Edition of "A Course in Miracles" by the Circle of Atonement

    There is a new Course in Miracles book in town and it's a masterpiece! Come join Lisa Natoli as she talks with Robert Perry, internationally well-known author, lecturer and teacher. He is also the editor of the New and Complete Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles based on the original handwritten notes of Helen Schucman. Robert Perry, founder of the Circle of Atonement has spent the past 10 years working with a dedicated group of individuals to carefully restore A Course in Miracles to a version that is as close to the original as one can possibly get. As many people know, there has been extensive editing over the 50 years since ACIM first appeared on the scene in the early 1970's and over 45,000 words were left out, mostly from the first seven chapters of the Text, and the wording of the first four chapters had been edited to the point where only about a fifth of the sentences has retained their original wording. In this one-hour talk, Lisa tells the story of how she was initially turned off by this new edition, having already read every version every published of A Course in Miracles including all the original manuscripts. She describes how she couldn't possibly believe this version was different, and she didn't even want to read it. Her husband Bill Free was the one who finally got her to read it, to at least look at it, and how once began to look at it, she found it to be extremely different in the best way possible from other versions. The way the material in this new version is presented makes it easy to read and understand, and apply to situations in your  life. Here is a life-changing message from Jesus giving a clear, direct practical and simple approach (with specific detailed instructions!) about how to ask for guidance, how to hear God's Voice and how to give miracles to experience miracles. It also includes 33 essays (called Cameos) which are original message from Jesus to Helen Schucman and Bill Thetford with clear commentary from Robert Perry, which Lisa Natoli believes will be helpful to many in their own practice of having a direct relationship with their own inner Teacher. If you have felt that A Course in Miracles is "difficult to understand" and "doesn't make any sense" (which are often heard statements), then get ready to be inspired by tuning into this one-hour talk and then head over to Amazon or to the Circle of Atonement to order a copy of this brilliant and beautiful new version of Course in Miracles.

    If you feel disturbed by recent events with Donald Trump becoming president of the United States of America, tune in! Max Just and Lisa Natoli discuss their "point of viewing" of what they see and hear. Learn how to see with perfect perception. Also, Max talks about the importance of "admitting your inauthenticity about your authenticity." Many people say they want peace but cannot find peace, and wonder why. The first step is to be honest and admit that you don't really want it. Don't try to find peace. Don't try to make it happen. Simply come to a place of authenticity and see what is really going on in your mind. A Course in Miracles states: "When you have seen your brother as yourself you will be released to knowledge, having learned to free yourself through Him Who knows of freedom."    For more about A Course in Miracles and the Teachers of God Foundation, please visit teachersofgod.org.
