Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest DearJames, on air from March 6th
DearJames is an intuitive advice column, offering Insight, Answers & Advice… To Your Life Questions. The Insight, Answers & Advice are intuitive/clairvoyant in nature and are intuited from the Universe / Source.
DearJames is also a community, whereby resources for inspiration/motivation, charitable giving, discussions and the search for something “greater” in one’s life may be experienced, shared and realized.
You will experience here, my routine use of and faith in, the “Universe” / “Source.” Society uses many different names for the source, depending upon your faith, culture, religion, belief system, etc. For me, “source,” is all that is. It is that, which we are all connected, born from and return to. It exists in a higher realm than earth, and yet encompasses earth, the Universe and all that is.
In all aspects of life, I firmly believe the Universe / Source, speaks to each individual soul.
It is our internal compass.
It is only the degree in which each individual soul “tunes-in,” to that internal compass, that allows it a “greater” or “heightened” sense of connectivity and guidance… A higher intuitive sense of awareness or consciousness of the events occurring, not only in our own lives but also in the lives of those around us and the greater of society as a whole… the “collective consciousness.”
We are all part of the grander “Oneness,” or “All That Is,” as we are each individual souls, of the collective whole, on this journey of experience called “Life.”
JOIN SARA AND DearJAMES IN DISCUSSION OF OURS SOULS HERE
Having begun this journey in 1992, and having read for individuals, both nationally and internationally, I can say with all honesty and sincerity, I did not come to this calling easily, and yet I did. It was and is an inherently innate gift. For me, there is no greater life gift, than the ability to help your fellow souls, on their journey through life. The ability to intuitively help people you’ve never met, met for the very first time, or known for lifetimes, overcome obstacles, push past / through fears, realize their inner potential, their dreams, and/or just make better decisions in life, is electrifying and humbling, awe-inspiring and reflective. It comes with great care, consideration and responsibility, great humility and grace.
DearJames is a conduit, a vessel, through which the Universe may communicate and I am a willing and humble steward of this communication. It is one way in which I am able to share this gift.
May the gift of Intuitive Insight, Answers & Advice, be yours, and may your journey through life be filled with conscious awareness of All That Is.
Another year in filmdom has come and gone, and countless movie reviewers have issued their best and worst lists for 2017. And so, with that said, it’s time to add my voice to the chorus, with my choices for the cream of the crop and the curdled cream best discarded.
In the interest of full disclosure, I must confess that I did not screen every film that was released in 2017, most notably those that were distributed through limited or select channels, such as the Netflix exclusive “Mudbound.” However, I did spend considerable time staring at those flickering lights on the big screen last year, enough to make me feel comfortable in offering up my selections for the pictures that I believe represented the best and worst of past 12 months.
A lifelong movie fan and longtime student of metaphysics, Brent Marchant is the author of the recently released book, Consciously Created Cinema: The Movie Lover’s Guide to the Law of Attraction, a reader-friendly look at how the practice of “conscious creation” (also known as “the law of attraction”) is illustrated through film. He’s also the author of a predecessor work on the same topic, Get the Picture?!: Conscious Creation Goes to the Movies, which is soon to be re-released in a new, updated edition.
Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Anoushka, on air from February 20th
Relationships, the forever rolling of the dice, who will we get? how do we know how to recognise narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic person and how do we get out of a relationship of abuse?
All this will be spoken about here in a 3 part series on emotional abuse and how it affects our selves, our children and any future relationships.
Anoushka is the founder of Balance Psychologies a brand where recovery and wellbeing are at the heart of everything I do. I am a trainee psychologist and my specialism is in narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic relationships.
I am also the writer of Balance Psychologies blog. Since December 2015 I have been using my blog and YouTube videos to help others transform their lives and understand the shady and crippling effects of being in a relationship with someone with a narcissistic personality disorder. After sharing my own experiences of a 7-year relationship with an individual with a narcissistic personality disorder, I realised I wasn’t alone in my feelings and experiences, there were many others that have suffered at the hands of a narcissist. Ever since I have been driving my insights into empowering survivors, tips and tools to help individuals get out of this traumatic abuse and realise that none of this was their fault but to realise that they are wonderful and special individuals with a big heart – that needs to be protected.
“Thoughts Become Things: International” with Neomaya Davila aka Neo Positivity and his guest Linda Marsanico, on air from February 20th.
Linda Marsanico, a writer, healer, spiritual coach and licensed psychologist (NY), received her doctorate in social psychology from Loughborough University, England. At the prestigious Postgraduate Center, New York City, she took a three-year, postdoctoral internship, clinically focusing on psychodynamic counselling with children, adolescents and families.
Linda’s coaching philosophy is referred to as facilitation and collaboration, which rests on an equal relationship: the client as the ‘expert’ on self, and the facilitator as the ‘expert’ on theories for psychological, behavioural and spiritual change.
With the notion of ‘play’ taken from the work of D.W.Winnicott, the English paediatrician and psychoanalyst, Linda utilizes the beauty and function of playing: involving fantasy, creativity and energy flow. The task is to align the conscious and unconscious mind, with the specific goal of moving toward desired changes, nurturing the healing process.
JOIN NEO AND LINDA AS THE TALK SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY HERE
For eight years, Linda was a member of a spiritual group on Long Island, New York where she learned chanting and meditation techniques. She studied Integrated Energy Therapy® and Vortex® modalities. She is a Reiki Master.
Her paper “Change, Transformation: In Other Words, Compassion Leads To Changes In DNA,” citing the work of Gregg Braden and Dr. David Hawkins, was presented at SEPI, The Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration, in 2006 in Los Angeles.
Since 2008 Linda has conducted workshops on the blending of our mind, body and spirit at the Sedona Creative Art Center in Arizona, the META Center, New York City, as well as in her Brooklyn and Manhattan offices.
Linda has written a book about her continuing journey to love and compassion and its role in robust health. She looks for a publisher who shares her excitement about the project, to bring the book to The New York Times Bestseller List.

Shares tools for weathering the storms in this Age of Surprise
“We are entering The Age of Surprise, the 21st century. The mystical gates of a greater reality are poised to open, leading the way for humanity to regain intuition, spectacular ideas and expanded compassion and healing on a global scale. Live in the Tao of Surprise, and our challenging times will become our greatest gift of revelation and redemption.” Deirdre Hade
Welcome to the Age of Surprise. We are now at the greatest Doorway that humanity has ever entered- a time when the unexpected has now become expected more often than not. 2017 brought some of the largest hurricanes in U.S history and massive flooding in Texas. Thousands of acres burned throughout the US, including the 273,400 acres Thomas Fire that quite literally burned right up to the hedges of Deirdre Hade’s home in the hills of Montecito before the mudslides levelled her property with boulders the size of cars.
Experts say we should brace ourselves for more and larger disasters to come. It’s no wonder so many are feeling deep anxiety and stress. How can we deal with all of this? How can we stay grounded and connected? Is there any hope or redemption to be found in these disasters?
Mystic and spiritual guide Deirdre Hade shares illuminating insight into the healing mystical experience in The Age of Surprise and shares the tools to navigate this age with grace, forbearance, humour and resilience. Find the calm in the chaos in the Age of Surprise.
Deirdre Hade is a born mystic and visionary. Dedicated to healing those who have suffered from trauma, pain, and loss, Deirdre founded the non?profit organization The Foundation for Radiance which has worked closely with the Women’s Prison Association of New York and Nuevo Amanecer (Sister Trinidad Lopez’s program for women rescued from abuse and sexual slavery in East Los Angeles). She designed My Angel Pillow with Kellee White to bring the healing comfort of angels to children in hospitals all across the country.
A keeper of the World Peace Flame and founding member of the Association for Transformational Leaders of Southern California, Deirdre is a member of Jack Canfield’s Transformational Leadership Council, an organization of 150 world leaders in the field of personal transformation (including John Grey and Marianne Williamson). Deirdre’s teachings on the Power of Meditation are featured alongside the writings of other modern-day spiritual luminaries such as Neale Donald Walsch and Don Miguel Ruiz. She has been honoured by Dr. Iziz Fuqua and the Circles of Light, receiving the F.L.O.W.E.R. award for her pioneering work in energy healing. She has also been knighted by the Sovereign Order of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem for her humanitarian work.
A profound sensitive and psychic, Deirdre headed off to college at 17, determined to get a degree in anthropology. A chance meeting with Joseph Campbell, American mythologist and author of Hero with a Thousand Faces changed the course of her life. “Don’t go into anthropology,” he told her. “It will ruin your gift. You already have what we are all looking for.”
That same auspicious year, Deirdre was given a photocopy of the then unknown book, A Course in Miracles. For months, she voraciously studied the texts. This, along with her mentors in the southern gospel churches, gave her innately scientific mind a spiritual foundation. (Her parents were research scientists in biochemistry and physiology). At 16 she and her mother had a spiritual awakening allowing her mother with terminal breast cancer to live 13 years longer than expected. This became the foundational work for Deirdre’s Radiance Healing and Meditation System. Deirdre went on to have a successful dance career working with Robert Joffery, founder of The Joffery Ballet NYC, Frank Borman of the Royal Ballet of England to name a few. She founded an inner-city dance program for disadvantaged youth in the Memphis / Mid-South Region. Her Company, Celebrations of the Sacred, was a pioneer in the field of sacred dance.
Deirdre’s inner gifts and search for self-discovery brought her under the mentorship of elders and teachers in the mystical Christian tradition, the “I Am Presence” teachings, the Hindu Vedic tradition and Mussar and Lurianic Kabbalah, which she studied for over 20 years under the tutelage of two esteemed Rabbis in Los Angeles. Deirdre is overwhelmingly grateful to her mentor in personal psychology and women’ studies former head of USC Psychology dept. Dr. Lawanda Katzman Staenberg.
In 2004 Deirdre founded Radiance Healing and Meditation now simply called The Radiance Journey, a system of energy healing and mystical wisdom from the ancient knowledge of the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life. To date, Deirdre has given Radiance personal healing sessions and Radiance Journey Retreats to thousands. At The Omega Institute, The ACADEMI of Life, Urban Zen Center and Deepak home base in NYC, The Evolutionary Healing Institute in Miami, Florida, The Chopra Center at La Costa , Canyon Ranch Resort and Montecito’s own Sacred Space. In 2018 she will be the main presenter at the Kripala Center in Stockbridge, Mass.
Her Radiance Pure Energy Program for energetic clearing and healing has been sold in over 132 countries. Deirdre’s book, The (not so) Little Book of Surprises, released in 2016, was presented by Donna Karan to a standing-room-only audience at her Urban Zen Center in New York City. Recently married, she and her husband William Arntz have created The Mystic and the Physicist: An Exploration Into The Vanishing Point Where Science and Spirituality Meet presented to standing room only at Deepak Homebase, NYC this fall. They are currently filming this as a series.
The mother of two children, Leilah Katherine Franklin and Eric Harel Franklin, (“The two greatest accomplishments of my life!”), in 2014 Deirdre married her great love, William Arntz. Today they live happily ever after in Montecito, California.
