Aside from our own health benefits, he will tell us the role of Fungi in the restoration, specifically used to repair petroleum-contaminated, fire-affected, or heavy-metal contaminated agricultural or natural ecosystems; lands considered scorched earth after a natural disaster. John teaches several classes, one of which is how to build your own business with mushroom products.

34. Holistic Edge Radio w Guest Gwen Kaiser Thetahealing to Address Impossible Issues for Pets or People from Illnesses, Fear Blockages to Past Lives & More, Host: Enoe Aracely Brown May 30, 2024

Gwen Kaiser, an animal activist, has dedicated her life to healing pets as well as people. She helps us understand how using a very specific meditation method created by Vianna Stibal based on our Theta brain wavelength, can heal pets or people in the present time, from childhood to family genetic lines, to past lives. Often lives that carry forward inexplicable behavior into our present life. All of which affect our actions and may keep us in mindsets that are nonproductive. This is also true for pets, and may explain bad behavior by some pets that have no explanation and that can lead to traumatic consequences for the animal, but might be able to be addressed by Thetahealing successfully.

That  incident led her to meet a new friend and business partner, who co-founded with her nonprofit called Reenies Rabbit Rescue, a non profit organization, located in Hudson Valley, where she oversees the care of about 100 rabbits, guinea pigs and cats. During this time, Gwen found the extraordinarily powerful modality called Thetahealing. After studying it for over 12 years, she became a practitioner and launched her practice as a Theta Healer in 2017.   
  
Thetahealing is a world-renowned meditation technique and spiritual philosophy founded by Vianna Stibal in 1995, who experienced spontaneous healing from her own cancer about 30 years ago, and since then Vianna has witnessed countless other spontaneous healing in others. She learned her purpose was to teach this technique and get across to others that all things are possible when we clear our limiting beliefs system and learn to connect to the creator or universal force.  Vianna Stibal’s books have been translated into 25 languages and she has trained instructors and practitioners who are working in 180 countries with an estimated half a million practitioners worldwide.                                                                                                                                                        Guest Contact:

32. Holistic Edge Radio w Guest Josie Casteneda How A Curandera’s (Latin American healer) Tools Can Be Modernize to Give Us the Ability to Heal Ourselves Host Enoe Aracely Brown, May 16 2024

In this part one of a two-part interview, Josie Casteneda, a former corporate manager in the fashion industry, was leading a life of stress and disillusionment. She found solace in returning to her Mexican roots which were seeped in folk herbalism and other forms of healing. During this talk she explains how she has learned to modernize the approach to Latin American healing, and at the same time keep the work authentic to the tradition and balanced with the holistic practices she was introduced to in the US such as meditation, Reiki, yoga therapy, and nutrition. Her audiences are often individuals who feel disconnected from their roots to corporate workers who have gotten lost in their job and need to be brought back to themselves. She is able to guide them by offering approaches each person can use to heal themselves, which gives the individual a new form of independence who often feels obliged to be dependent on one healer, after she teaches them ways to take care of themselves.. She will speak about how this work is evolving, and some of the controversy involved among past healers and modern healers in Latin communities. In the upcoming part II, Josie will describe how some of her healing techniques work and the  sacred practices she uses to create each product in her line of remedies.

31. Holistic Edge Radio w Guest Yasmin Boland: Leading British Astrologer Teaches How to Use Ancient Moon Practices as a Manifesting Tool - Host: Enoe Aracely Brown, May 9 2024

Yasmin Boland is the #1 astrologer in Britain. She has researched, studied, and revived the ancient Moon practice used for millennia to manifest the future in the tradition of Indian yogis and Celtic practices. She  named these practices Moonology. Yasmin  informs us how following simple steps by anyone can change our life for the better. That it is not based on whether you believe in it or not, it's more of a practical way to build a plan with focus.  She calls the secret sauce of getting it right is based on preparing ourselves through simple spiritual cleansings and clearing our emotional state of mind.  With over 25 years of research, visiting such places as an Southern Indian ashram, she learned how all rituals of manifestation can be blocked by held grudges and lack of forgiveness. She explains that it's not about simply lighting a candle and making a wish, that intention is developed in steps, so it can be heard clearly and turned into a reality. Yasmin has been the No. 1 astrologer in Britain, as well as the top seller of astrology books/oracle cards in the British Sunday Times, and several other British periodicals.
