Would you like to feel the magic again in your life? Do you want to be more creative? Our guest today is Colette Baron-Reid, an internationally respected author, artist, educator, spiritual intuitive, medium, and oracle expert. Today she discusses her latest book, The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality, which she co-authored with Anna Denning. She explains how she is an empath and an artist.   Colette talks about studying line art and how she realized her doodles looked like neurons.  She researched the connection between doodling and the brain and how this puts us in a state of flow. Drawing in this way keeps us in the theta state. Colette explains how circles and lines make up shapes which were the earliest form of communication. She asks us to think about "how we want to feel" and how that's so important for manifestation. With brain plasticity, it's been proven that we can become a completely different identity and go beyond limiting beliefs. Colette researched the science behind manifestation and the idea of frequency. We live in a conscious, quantum universe. The universe is listening to you. You can have hope and be in awe when you see the results of how the world is responding in magical ways! This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: www.colettebaronreid.com 

 Did you know that your brain function can affect spirituality? If your brain controls everything in your body and mind, does it also somehow affect your relationship with God? Today's guest, Dr. Daniel Amen, is a physician, child and adult psychiatrist, brain imaging specialist, bestselling author, and the CEO and medical director of Amen Clinics. Dr. Amen takes a holistic, practical approach in linking a dynamic feedback loop that exists between the brain and the events in our lives. Today he discusses the neurological connection we have to our souls as well as offering tips for a healthier brain, no matter our age. Dr. Daniel Amen has studied the brains of loving people, as well as evil people. His research has shown that racism and hatred often involve problems in the brain. People like this may hold grudges as they can't let things go. They cannot change their opinion because of brain function.  Dr. Amen has compared the brains of inmates, including murderers, and tests have shown clear deficits in the activity in their brains. If they are medicated, they may become calmer and more understanding. He further discusses the importance of examining our thoughts. He suggests writing out what you are thinking. Must you believe every thought you have? Try talking back to depressive thoughts and try to think in a more positive direction. This will start to balance the brain function. You can apply these methods to begin to gain a sense of relief. He also discusses the importance of physical exercise, as well as learning something new. This is so imperative, especially as we age. It increases blood flow to the brain and can be used to help prevent memory loss. Dr. Amen also discusses supplements, including Ginkgo Biloba, St John's Wort, and Vitamin E. If you would like to try supplementation, always be sure to consult with your healthcare practitioner first. Dr. Amen has also studied how prayer and meditation improve brain function. He suggests teaching children this as a method of focus, rather than playing video games which has the opposite effect. Dr. Amen and his clinics are dedicated to improving lives through education, the latest advances in neuroimaging, and individualized treatment plans. He has numerous bestselling books and at this time of this interview, his latest book was "Healing the Hardware of the Soul." Info: AmenClinics.com

Do you long for something deeper in your life? Are you innately drawn toward spirituality and curious about what you may find? Do you think we as humans are naturally wired to search for deeper meaning in our lives? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us. We are able to cultivate circuits in our brains which help us to become more spiritually aware. By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr. Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.    Dr. Miller is a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she founded the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology.
