Since then, Lee has produced fourteen Kryon books, and was the co-author of three Indigo Children books. These Indigo books introduced the world to the term “Indigo Children” in 2000, spawning many follow-up books by various authors, a movie, a documentary, and lots of interest worldwide regarding our changing kids! The Indigo books have sold almost half a million copies world-wide in twenty-three languages.  Lee is the original channel for Kryon and his service to humanity as a channel for Kryon has been recognized by the Delphi Metaphysical University who awarded him an honorary doctorate degree of Science, Transpersonal Psychology, & Metaphysics. In addition, Lee Carroll has been listed as one of the “100 most spiritually influential living people” by the prestigious WATKINS “Mind, Body, Spirit” magazine from the UK for over six consecutive years.  In 2012 Monika Muranyi began her journey with Lee when she launched her first published book, The Gaia Effect. Monika went on to publish three more subject-driven books from the vast collection of Kryon channels. As a result, she has masterfully helped tie together the complex subject of who we are and why we are here. Throughout her books, Monika has posed dozens of questions to Kryon that provide us with greater understandings and new realizations about our esoteric truths.  Their partnership in the Kryon work has resulted in the creation of three beautifully illustrated oracle card decks, two Kryon Apps for the smart phone, and a weekly online gathering of old souls who participate in the Healing Wednesday program.

So the question is, when a patient presents with a blown out tooth and can't afford to spend a ton of money, can we restore the tooth with a composite filling and will it last? Our guest today, Dr John Gammachia, says yes we can! In fact, a great deal of his practice is based on doing this as he pushes the envelope with today's advanced composite materials utilizing the latest bonding technology, and of course, meticulous clinical technique. Today we'll talk to Dr. Gammichia about how he does this with such a high rate of clinical success and at the same time maintains a very profitable practice. Dr. Gammichia owns a private practice in Orlando, FL, lectures throughout the country and has published articles on how to use composite for severely broken down teeth. He is a courtesy faculty member at the University of Florida in the Department of Operative Dentistry.

I thought, ‘Okay,that's just an ocean breeze washing over me.'”I am one with the morningI am one with the worldAnd my soul is exploringThe ocean breeze that has unfurled“I have so much dental trauma that I cope by making up songs while I'm under theinfluence of nitrous oxide. I feel like if I go to the dentist, I'm at least gonna get a goodsong out of it for going through all that pain and misery.”There's a voice that's demonic but I am focusingOn ocean breeze in the distance blowing evil far from meIt's a great story. Hearing her tell it, and listening to the song, it's also believable. Butevil is real for her, both in her personal experience — having lived through 25 years ofnarcissistic abuse — and in her day work as a social worker and mental health therapistspecializing in trauma.“There's still stuff I'm deprogramming from, and I'm still in recovery from that situation,but there are situations in the world that are not ‘just' narcissistic abuse, butpsychopathic and sociopathic abuse as well.”“I'm expanding the metaphor to mean the demonic presence in the world,” she said.“Ocean Breeze” is a way of calming the soul, combatting the mental, spiritual presenceof evil, whether it's fanciful, like hearing Satan in a dental drill, or the much moredestructive kind that is all too common in what she calls “the 3D world.”The song features slow, melodic rhythms of guitar, banjo, and mandolin, timed by drumsbeating at the pace of a heart at rest. Nicole-Marie's lyrics are delivered in her deep,soothing voice. Doug Rusk is a featured vocalist on the track and is also the leadguitarist.She and Rusk are also featured in the video, produced by Smokescreen Media.“I was really impressed with them. I'm going to work with them on another video soon,”she said.Nicole-Marie's voice can climb. It has changed since she lost all hearing in her left earmore than a decade ago. Her right ear loses hearing intermittently and sometimes, shesays, she is legally deaf.“I used to be a first soprano when I did choir in high school. Since my hearing loss, I'vebecome more like an alto. I've learned to sing in that method — I don't know what it'scalled, actually — but you hear by feeling the vibration in your body. On some of thosenotes, I might not even be able to hear what I'm hitting.”Abuse, hearing loss, cancer. She has survived and is recovering still from a great dealof evil herself. Her music and her life are conducted in accordance with her spirituality,which is at heart a non-denominational Christianity influenced by a pan-spiritual outlookand yogic and other influences.Christianity is fractured, a “divided kingdom,” she says, and needs to be much lessjudgmental, which is inherently divisive, “because we don't want to be conquered bybeing divided.”“I want to inspire other people to make the highest vibrational choices for their lives,”which she defines as making life choices and decisions out of “gratitude, love, joy,contentment,” rather than out of fear, anger or guilt.“Ocean Breeze” is the lead single she is promoting from Roars, Flames and Embers,but two other songs from the EP hold special meaning for her.“Pour out the Oil” was inspired by Kim Clement's prophetic writings on the biblicalEsther. The song features a woman, she said, who would “pour out the oil, pour outhealing to the world.”“I wanted to put in influences of biblical women, powerful women,” she said. “So I putEsther in a verse, and then Mary of Bethany, in a verse. Both were powerful biblicalwomen. I wanted to focus on that and what I think will be the return of the divinefeminine.”She added, “And I'm not referring to the Barbie movie.”The other song is “Beyond the Stars.”“That one was written in the voice of God. I wrote it after experiencing some workplacebullying. It's like God speaking to me, saying, ‘I know who you really are, no matter whatother people call you, or say about you. I know who you really are.' It's aboutforgiveness, too, of the bullies and of anybody that has to live in this crazy world. I thinkit's a very healing song.”Nicole-Marie has been putting out music since 2003. Her catalogue includes six albumsand EPs and several singles. She lists her genre as “spiritual folk rock” and those are allpresent, each by itself sometimes, sometimes in combination.She has performed live, but not since the pandemic. She is dealing with a case ofperformance anxiety but wants to perform again. She especially wants to go on a tour.That reality is in a world that lies a little way down the road.In the 3D world of now, there is promoting “Ocean Breeze” and Roars, Flames andEmbers and, also, “I'm working on my next music video. That's where my immediateattention is.”“But beyond that, I hope to do some shows, get over some of my fears and inspireothers to face their fears and get over them.”

Season 6 is all about transition issues for you, the buyer. What do you as a soon-to-be practice owner need to start thinking about? After you've decided to purchase your dream practice, how do you deal with the staff, the patients, the money issues you're going to come up against? I'll talk with experts and even do some solo episodes to explore these questions. The final two episodes of this season are all about dental memberships. How do you alleviate the fear of patient attrition? Many dentists have leaned into the idea of dental memberships. How do they work? What is their value? Is this an avenue you should look into for your own practice?   Check out Dental Menu here: https://www.dentalmenu.com/   Find me at DentalBuyerAdvocates.com
