"If I die, I'll leave a beautiful world."

This is an interview for the book Healing Happens: Stories of Healing Against All Odds. 


Avital:         We have on the line Dr. Bernie Siegel. He has transitioned from being a pediatric surgeon to running support groups, and considers himself in a way now a life coach. He has written about 14 books, and of them most noted for his very first book Love, Medicine and Miracles.


                   He developed a therapy program called exceptional cancer patients and that’s
where he utilizes their drawings, dreams, images, and feelings to create a system of care-frontation. He is also known as one of the top 20 spiritually influential people living on the planet by Watkins Review.


Avital:         Bernie, would you walk us through one of the stories of somebody whom you
helped heal beyond what we normally see in the...

Nine Days to a New You

What if within one day you could feel a greater sense of joy, release all pains in your body, feel the energy of a child, have a calm clear mind to accomplish any task, and open a direct connection with the Divine? And then after nine days you would notice a significant weight loss and bad habits being broken so you can maintain the weight loss and continue to lose weight if needed? The solution is the Nine-Day Diet, a cleanse created by the great yoga guru Paramhansa Yogananda.

For those of you who have never done a cleanse before, do not worry because you can eat as much as you want. The point is to eat high nutrient foods that are easy to digest and promote digestion.

Imagine the roads in New York City. Because the city never sleeps, there are always cars and the roads move slowly. With the influx of people moving at once to Portland, rush hour has bottle necked and is very slow. Yet people sleep in Portland allowing the roads to empty and the first cars in the morning to...

Healing Happens: When You Have a Reason to Live - Part 1

 
This is an interview for the Healing Happens Interview Series. David John St. Clair is an amazing Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, and NLP Trainer.

David:         It started in 1988 or ‘89 when I met a Japanese researcher, Dr. Hiroshi Oda.
He approached me at Marburg University and talked with me about spontaneous remission, and about the power of the mind and the soul combined when people have the diagnosis of terminal illness and cancer.

He shared that he started to interview 36 people in Japan and Asia who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. One guy had cancer in the lungs, in the bones, and in the liver. They told him, “You just have three months to live.” They did x-rays and Hiroshi told me, “There was no therapy at all for him. They just said, ‘If you have money, take all the money you have, and go on vacation. See different countries and spend it for yourself because the maximum we can give you...

"Nothing Happened." Healed to Forget the Pain

This is an interview for the book Healing Happens: Stories of Healing Against All Odds. 

Avital: Hello, thank you so much for being here. We have Gail Lynn with us. She runs a center called Energy Genesis Life Center. It's in Colorado but she has people flying in from all over the world, specifically 48 states and 9 countries, to take advantage of this technology called Energy Genesis. It helps relieve emotional, physical and environmental trauma through vibration, sound and light.

Welcome Gail. I have been hearing that this machine is having huge effects on people and that’s why they're traveling from all over the world, and sometimes it’s helping people who were told there was nothing to do for their situation. Would you tell us one of those stories please?

Gail:    Absolutely. I have so much fun here. It’s kind of comical too because I’m constantly finding out people have different experiences. I had an 80-year-old lady coming here on a...

The Big Picture Principle: A Three Step System to Simplify the Rules of a Healthy Diet

You have probably been bombarded with all sorts of advice and ideas on all the latest diet fads. Instead what you may be craving is a simple shift in mindset and an approach that will allow you to make better choices without sapping your willpower and beating yourself up. If you understand some basic principles that are easy to remember, you will feel more empowered to take control of your health and to create more vitality in your life.


As a child I started reading nutrition books. I became particular enough about food that my mother was concerned I was anorexic even though I had a big appetite. I actually only went through one phase where I was counting calories and the amount of nutrients I was getting. Most of the time I wanted to enjoy life and not be too particular.

When I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, hypoglycemia, and food allergies I had even more to learn about food and unique diets for those conditions. After I did all of my...

Three Causes of Thyroid and Autoimmune Disorders For Everyone to Know

If you have been following my work, then you know I once had issues with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, and now I learned how to control them. At the time I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, it was not as commonly known that the cause was Hashimoto’s. Today, test results reveal about 97% of people with Hypothyroidism have Hashimoto’s.

Hashimoto’s is an auto-immune disorder. Oftentimes, auto-immune disorders are defined as the body attacking itself. I would like to propose a different meaning; that the body is trying to heal something which seems to be foreign and harmful. Whether that is due to your own body feeling foreign, or is due to the activity of an outside invader, I will explain below.

We often like to find reasons for disease so that we have something to blame, and we also prefer a clear explanation for what we can do to heal. Sometimes the symptoms of disease get exacerbated because of something we did not know. And sometimes disease presents...

Healing Happens: For Diabetes - A True Story

For your inspiration, a story of Angela healing from diabetes when all hope was lost. This is part of a longer interview with Coach Ruben, author of Evolving Health, to be featured in my upcoming book Healing Happens: Stories of Healing Against All Odds

Avital:                  I was curious if you have any stories where you have seen a major shift in somebody from what typically would happen in that situation in the medical industry and the success that you were able to achieve with that person.

Coach Ruben:     Certainly. I think one of my favorite stories to tell is that of Angela. I met her when she was 15 years old and I coached her in swimming. I coached swimmers professionally for 30 years. She was one of my outstanding swimmers.

When we first met, she was very disillusioned, unhappy, and frustrated. Her previous coaches had told her, because she had gotten...

The Contradiction Between Natural Healing and Conventional Medicines

"How can I dissolve the contradiction of being vegan with pills for diabetes?"
A letter from a student and my response...

Hi Avital,
I wonder if you have an idea for me of how to solve a present conflict. My doctor told me this week that I have diabetes and must take pills now or it's danger (high sugar in blood can cause major problems). I do yoga and love pranayama meditation. I'm also vegan and like to be close to nature as much as possible, even in city life. So having to take pills into my body is very upsetting...
Thank you... love and peace to you...


Dear Friend,
I am sorry to hear the news about your diagnosis. I also want to commend you on taking action right away and trying to make a conscious choice. 
 
I was very upset too when I was put on thyroid medication. I did not know of other options and trusted my doctors so I took the medication. I was told one of the side effects of the thyroid medication was osteoporosis. I had a silent prayer that somehow I...

Our True Potential for Healing

What I find most inspiring in Paramhansa Yogananda’s book How to Achieve Glowing Health and Vitality is the understanding of our potential for truly healing ourselves. This book accurately reflects the path I have traveled in facing my own health challenges. We can feel caught – victims of the pain we experience or of the prognoses of doctors.

I was told I would be on medications for the rest of my life, that there was nothing I could do about it. The turning point for me came when an energy healer at Ananda Village in Northern California told me just the opposite.  My initial doubt dissolved when I met someone who  had actually healed herself from the condition that challenged me.

The door opened to my own potential for healing. Yogananda explained, “No disease is incurable. Some diseases are beyond the reach of medicines, which by their nature are limited, The medicine is non-curative – so doctors call the disease incurable! But the power of...

Seven Years to Heal

Seven Years to Full Cellular Rejuvenation: A Mother and Daughter's Healing Journey

They say it takes seven years for all the cells in the body to fully regenerate. A year ago both my mother and I completed a seven year cycle. Before those seven years both my mother and I were known to be active energetic people. At the beginning of those seven years we both noticed challenges with our health. At first we went about our normal business and hoped it would go away. Instead the challenges became more debilitating and we started a long quest to discover the source of our health issues.

It was quite strange to have constant headaches, extreme fatigue plus a few other odd bodily symptoms. As a yoga and fitness instructor I needed my physical body in order to teach and felt I was expected to be a role model of good health. I could not hide that my painful knee prevented me from leading all of my fitness classes. I never told anyone my muscles seemed to be getting weaker rather than...
