Podcast appearances and mentions of ger lyons

The road to Royal Ascot is heating up — and The Final Furlong Podcast team has all the angles. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Laura Joy, Adam Mills, Jamie Wrenn and Archie Brooks to look back on a brilliant weekend of flat racing with an eye on Group 1 targets and long-range Royal Ascot punts. We kick off with Lead Artist's Group 1 Lockinge win, and debate who's best placed for the Queen Anne Stakes — Rosallion, Notable Speech or Dancing Gemini? The team weighs in, and Laura names a 10/1 shot she believes is the bet right now. Babouche, Ger Lyons' Group 1-winning juvenile, impressed in the Lacken Stakes — but is she worth backing for the Commonwealth Cup? We also debate the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes, with a confident 33/1 tip, plus takes on French raiders and Aidan's Aussie-bred wildcard. Can See The Fire be a Juddmonte International filly? What next for Rebel's Romance and Kyprios after their latest runs? And we scout potential Royal Ascot 2yo stars — including an Albany outsider to watch. Form Tools: Proform is the essential tool for punters looking to make money from betting on Horse Racing.

In a remarkably frank, open and honest discussion Lyons doesn't hold back when it comes to discussing his views on Irish racing, so be sure to check out this latest edition of Talk A Good Game #TAGG

For Beyond's "Spirituality" talks, listen to an interview with Ger Lyons from Ireland. For 30 years Ger has studied many healing traditions from around the world including pre-Celtic Druidic traditions, which have opened and empowered him as a healer, as many ancient gifts have emerged from his own paternal Druidic Blood Line. Some years ago, Lyons was attacked and brutally traumatized, which left him severely mutilated and wounded with deep scars, and in an extreme state of agonizing pain in a totally burned out body. Survival was unlikely. Death would have been a blessing. He was driven and inspired to survive. Four harrowing years later, his healing gift had paid off. The healer completely healed himself. This experience led him to receive an incredibly deep, first hand insight and understanding of how trauma operates in the body; how the body deals with it; and how it is possible to heal it. His work is about helping people to realize the limitless potential and possibilities of our true expression for life's mystery.

In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, listen to For Beyond 50's interview with Mailea Miller-Pierce in Portland. She has been trained and continues her ongoing training from Ger Lyons from Ireland. He is a mystic, seer and traditional healer practicing the old ways that are from his ancient, pre-Christian lineage, going all the way back to the nature-based druidic traditional healing, based on the Tuatha De Dannan, or the "people of the goddess Danu" who worshipped nature and the divine feminine. You'll learn about this ancient form of Celtic Medicine that can address the roots of an original imprint and have it to be released and transformed in an alchemical way.
