Is it possible that numbers can help predict the outcome of the US Presidential Election based on the candidates’ birthdays? Would you like to learn more about yourself by studying your birth date, and determining your own personal Numerology? Expert numerologist and best-selling author Glynis McCants joins us today to talk about the recent Presidential debate, as well as the upcoming US election. She talks about the history of numerology, based on her extensive study of the Pythagorean Number System. Glynis interprets the numbers and explains how they work in our lives and in our relationships. She knew the science of numbers was her calling and she’s done tens of thousands of readings, not only personal, but for world affairs as well. Today she talks about who the US Presidential candidates are, based on their numbers. This is determined by their birthdates, as well as the birthdate of the United States. She discusses President Biden, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Tim Walz, JD Vance, and the relationships they have with one another.   She explains about the personal month of each of the candidates. She also talks about her psychic skills which help her in reading the numbers. She talks about days that are good, called “natural match days,” and the difference between them and “caution days” where things could go wrong. So how can you get good results during a caution day? Glynis suggests biting your tongue. There are also challenge numbers. She talks about chemistry during those dates. Glynis believes we will have tremendous voter turnout in the United States. Election day is a Five Day, because it’s Nov 5. She talks about movement and the importance of getting out there to vote. She also explains how to find your own Personal Number – this is based on the month and day of your birth and reducing it to one digit. She explains how you add this number to the World Year Number, which is 8. This is because when you consider the year 2024, you add  2 + 0 + 2 + 4 to get a sum of 8. She talks about how sometimes it’s best to go inner, when things feel like they are not working, or you keep hearing the word “No.” She reminds us that sometimes “Rejection is Protection,” and better things are on the way. After evaluating approximately 15,000 Numerology Charts, she wrote the book “Glynis Has Your Number,”  which quickly became the best-selling Numerology book in the country and has been translated into fifteen other languages as well. If you’d like to order a Numerology reading report that tells you all about yourself, or a Numerology Chart Comparison report, just visit www.numberslady.com and type "Lisa" in the promo code, and you will get a special discount.

 What is “channeling”? Who are these beings and where are they from? Today’s guest is Darryl Anka, who channels an extraterrestrial entity called Bashar, which is an Arabic word that means “messenger.” After experiencing two UFO sightings in broad daylight in Los Angeles, Darryl began to research this subject and became familiar with an array of metaphysical topics, including channeling. During today’s interview Darryl explains how he became a channel and what that really means. He and Lisa have a deep conversation in which Darryl talks about raising your frequency, the misconception of linear time, and how if everything is happening simultaneously, then Bashar could be a future version of Darryl himself.   Darryl also discusses conspiracy theories and how to get clear within yourself and discern to make empowering choices, rather than a decision to fill an emptiness.  He explains how we can only experience that which we are the frequency of and how we can vibrate toward solutions. This is perhaps a more advanced version of physics. When you apply these principles and techniques, you can experience dramatic and positive results. They further talk about detachment and how we really, truly do not know the best, highest outcome, but we must make positive decisions and strive for the freedom to make empowering choices.    Darryl has channeled Bashar’s information internationally for nearly 40 years, providing powerful methods by which people can change their lives in positive ways.  Bashar’s information has been published in more than 20 books in the U.S. and Japan and hundreds of CDs and DVDs have been distributed worldwide through Bashar Communications.     In addition to his channeling career, Darryl also has more than 30 years of experience in miniature effects, storyboards, sets, and designs on three "Star Trek" films, "Iron Man," and "Pirates of the Caribbean," among many others.     Over the past few years, Darryl has shifted his film career to writing, directing, and producing and has created three feature films, including a documentary called “First Contact” about how he became a channel for Bashar.

Would you like to be able to hear your intuition? Do you believe by enhancing your intuitive skills, you can contact those who have crossed over? Lisa continues the conversation today with Intuitive Medium Susan Grau who talks about her near-death experience, the passing of loved ones, and how grief is in charge, when we don’t address it. When you are feeling vulnerable, unresolved grief sneaks in. Susan explains how we can step into the grief and into the pain. We tend to want to run away from pain. We deny it. This offers us breaks in our grief. If we can lean in, we can move through it. We must move through the pain, whether through talking, therapy, or physical movement. Susan is an internationally celebrated celebrity intuitive medium, soul healer, author, grief counselor, and speaker. She specializes in grief and addiction therapy, guiding people to healing and recovery.  In her new book, “Infinite Life, Infinite Lessons,” she talks about her near-death experience as a very young child and all that happened when she was on the Other Side. She learned we all have free will and can make choices. She discusses Fear vs Intuition and shares ways to tap into your intuitive self. Fear feels like panic. Intuition is smooth. It’s a feeling. It’s important to feel into your body and trust your intuition. If you have a bad feeling, she asks us to trust that feeling. Your body knows. It’s a smooth type of knowing. Fear is a reactionary feeling. Susan discusses the feeling of “knowing.” It’s solid. You don’t question. You don’t need a reason. It’s a solid understanding. Susan also talks about the importance of forgiveness. She talks about the level of love she found when she had her Near-Death Experience. She was abused as a child and needed to find self-forgiveness. It was more important that she forgave herself. She didn’t want to give power to her abusers. She asks us to take action if it feels something is wrong. When Susan has a problem, she goes into action to find a solution. We are reactionary beings. She suggests we pause, then take action. Her goal is to help people heal themselves through love and guidance. Her NDE at a very young age did not stop the difficulty she experienced throughout life. She developed her inner guidance, her inner knowing, and explains how she “feels” her truth. She feels it in her gut. She also listens to her Spiritual Guides. She utilizes her clear knowing to understand what is going on around her. She shares how she is clairvoyant, clairaudient, claircognizant, and clairsentient. She explains how good mediums can access the personality of those who have crossed over. In her work, she feels the personality and essence of the person come through. She explains how grief is an extremely low vibration. A medium can vibrate a little higher. The soul of the loved one vibrates at a very high vibration. This makes it harder to access them. She suggests remembering something joyful that will raise your vibration. This makes it easier to hear them. They communicate their essence and beauty; the essence of who they really are. Souls want to heal their loved ones. They are not in a state of suffering. They can communicate without the pain and fear. There’s no reason to have the pain and fear on the Other Side. If you are talking with them, as time goes on and you practice, communication becomes clearer. You can get validation. Listen to what they say. It’s not an ending, it’s a new relationship. It takes time. We must be kind to ourselves. She also talks about our pets who have crossed over and the Room of Companions that she saw in her NDE. Our furry friends are happily playing and ready to greet us on the Other Side. Our Soul is our healer. It’s our bind to the Divine. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: SusanGrau.com.

Are you able to tap into your intuition? Or do you sometimes feel it’s hard to hear? Would you like to learn ways to calm mind chatter and be able to listen to messages from your Higher Self? Today’s guest Intuitive Medium Susan Grau has a new book, “Infinite Life, Infinite Lessons.” She had a near-death experience as a very young child. She saw three lights during this terrifying experience. She believed they may have been angels. She describes her experience of being at the bottom of a staircase and goes into great detail about what she saw and heard during this experience.   Susan talks about studying under Dr. Raymond Moody, expert on near-death experiences, who said this could have been the equivalent of “going into the light.” Susan describes hearing prayers and thoughts of many others during this experience as she was in a beautiful and loving room. She then saw a golden path. She followed it and went into a room that held the Akashic Records. She describes very vivid memories of the place and the tablets. It was as if she was watching a movie. Spending time in the spirit realm felt safe. But sometimes during this experience, she would be a bit afraid and still want to be with her Mom, as she was so young at the time.  She knew she would always be connected to her. During her NDE, she didn’t want to go back, but the spirits promised she could go back to her Mom. She talks about then seeing spirits in her room and playing with them, although sometimes in the night it could be a bit scary for her. She shared how she could see and communicate with them. Her mother was afraid for her, so she asked her to not talk about it. As she was going through life, she remembered that her Spirit Guides told her she would go through a difficult life journey. Her traumatic experiences ultimately enabled her to understand and help others. Susan is an internationally celebrated celebrity intuitive medium, soul healer, author, grief counselor, and speaker. In addition to working as a professional medium and life path intuitive, Susan’s diverse range of certifications include: Reiki Master, Sai Maa Diksha Practitioner, Karuna Practitioner, and Certified CADC II - Addiction Specialist. Additionally, she is a licensed hypnotherapist specializing in past life regression, a respected professional teacher of the metaphysical arts, and an honorary member of the Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA). Susan specializes in grief and addiction therapy, guiding people to healing and recovery. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: SusanGrau.com.

Sept 11, 2024, marks the 23rd anniversary of one of America’s darkest days. To shed light and understanding about the collective grief and trauma so many faced, we are joined by spiritual teacher and best-selling author Guy Finley. Guy is the Founder of Life of Learning Foundation and the best-selling author of “Letting Go,” “The Secret of Letting Go,” and more than 25 other books. His books have sold millions of copies in multiple languages worldwide. Today he talks about how to look at tragedy and specifically addresses 9/11 and the pain that ensued. He shares how 9/11 changed us and also taught us resilience. He asks us to ask ourselves have we learned the lesson in that pain, both as a nation and as a collection of individuals? And if we have not, then did that event unite us in a new understanding? Or did it divide us further?  Whether a national tragedy or a personal situation, how can we learn the lesson of pain? When we come upon a tragedy, it may also divide us further. Guy deeply examines the nature of “blame” and how it is so difficult for us not to blame. Typically, the first reaction to tragedy is to point the finger. After 9/11, our freedoms were affected literally overnight.  Who is to blame? If tragedy doesn’t change us, it becomes vague. What did this situation reveal to us about ourselves? What freedoms have we taken for granted? Prior to 9/11, security was much different at the airports.  How can we use these unwanted moments? Do we go into panic? Guy says there is no psychological fear without negative imagination. So commonly, the pain makes us place blame. When we can recognize it, we can realize it serves no purpose to blame. We can liberate ourselves from a mind with a negative imagination.  We can liberate our minds from the past. We can realize that each moment is new.  There is a way to train ourselves to process the negativity. This is a different level of consciousness. The solution to the suffering is to realize that the pain has no idea what to do. We cannot buy into the negativity and continue to place blame. We must change as individuals before we can see change in our world.  Guy asks us to consider, “What is your relationship with the Divine?” In the moment when there’s a problem or pain, when we resist it, we are resisting our reaction to it. It seems to threaten us. When we resist, we feel attacked. It’s a misunderstanding of the event. So, how do you illuminate the event to come to a new conclusion?   Silence can help. If anxiety is guiding you, then fear and negativity are the rulers at that moment. Anger, fear, and worry all lead us toward negativity. What we give our attention to is what we are in relationship with. This guides our experience.   If we are afraid, there’s something that believes the fear is real. According to Guy, “The fear is real but the ‘Why’ is a ‘Lie.’” Our lower brain creates a response of tension. Guy offers prayers to allow the Divine to let us know the truth. He also teaches free classes online twice a week. Info: GuyFinley.org  and GuyFinley.org/online for free classes.

Do you believe that your mind plays a role in healing? Are you familiar with the power of positive affirmations? Today’s guest fully believes in the power of the mind and what an incredible honor it is to have on the show mega-bestselling author of “You Can Heal Your Life” Louise Hay. She is also the founder of the world’s largest self-help publishing company, Hay House.  Today she’s talking with Lisa about the movie “You Can Heal Your Life” which contains hours of footage and plenty of positive affirmations that you, too, can use to heal your life.  Louise discusses her journey with cancer and how she took a positive approach to turn toward optimal health. She made the decision that she would heal her life and life brought her people who were all able to help including nutritionists, teachers, and others. After six months, the medical community declared her cancer-free. Her diet and affirmations were so important, but most importantly Louise says she learned to forgive. After a very challenging childhood filled with abuse, she knew she was carrying resentment and knew she needed to release it. She looked into the childhoods of her parents and realized they both came from very difficult places and passed along what they learned. This was the key to forgiving them both. She talks about affirmations which heal including, “All is well”; “Only good will come of this”; “Everything is working out for my highest good”;  and “I am safe.” This is Part 1 of the conversation, and we air this in her honor. Louise Hay made her transition on Aug 31, 2017, at the age of 90. Info: HayHouse.com and LouiseHay.com
