14/14 Soul Mates and ancient philosophies

Airing April 7th, 9th and 11th at 8:00p.m. PST. on Transforming Relationships with Host, Julieanne O’Connor! Interview with Aria Cunningham, Author of The Princess of Sparta: Heroes of the Trojan War

The love that you receive is equal to the love you give… And for those rare souls who give with no thought of receipt, on those I bestow my special favor. Only they are worthy of the eternal love; the force that breaks the bonds of brotherhood, that transcends the vagaries of pride and ego, a binding of souls that endures across the Ages.” – Tryphosa, Priestess of Aphrodite

Book CoverTune-in for an enlightening and candid interview with Aria Cunningham, Archaeologist and Author of the Historical Romance novel The Princess of Sparta: Heroes of the Trojan War.  We discuss the concept of soul mates, ancient philosophies on love and the soul, and the emerging field of Engendering Archaeology: a new discipline of studying the past through a female centric POV. It all culminates in her exciting new take on the Trojan War mythology with dynamic female characters, epic love and sizzling passion.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The true story behind the epic love that sparked the Trojan War and has captivated the world for 3,000 years…

Helen of Troy, arguably the most infamous woman in ancient history, was not the seductress of Homer’s poems. Her humble story began as a Princess of Sparta: honorable, loyal, with promise to become a powerful queen. Given in marriage to Menelaus of Mycenae, an abusive husband who neither wants nor needs her, she clings to a prophecy made to her about a great destiny, and even greater love.

That destiny awaits her in Paris, a noble prince of Troy. Unjustly cursed at birth by a dark omen claiming he will cause the destruction of Troy, Paris is a haunted figure. He is a man who has never known love…

Until the day the Fates intervene. He meets Helen and the two souls linked by common destiny and purpose are reunited. Their love becomes legend, provoking the greatest war of ancient history, shaking the foundations of the world, and paving the way for the rise of Greece and Rome.

Star-crossed young loves and tunic-tearing passion, Cunningham paints this popular story with an exquisite brush.

EARLY PRAISE FOR “THE PRINCESS OF SPARTA”

“I quickly found my ideas of Helen the bratty beauty fall away, and be replaced with a more female empowered version. What Cunningham quickly reminded me of, is that there are many sides to one story, and I might just prefer this romantic one the best!” iErlynn @ Books Hug Back.

An intricate web of conflict; honor, power, family, love, sex and the powers of the Gods. It transported me to a world of mystical proportions and took me on a journey where I rooted for my heroes, always fearful of what the star-crossed lovers’ fate might be. Powerful, gripping, sexy.” C.T. Hayes, Slackwire Films

Vibrational Eating

Fruit__Vegetables_and_Grain_NCI-450x300Improving your health starts with improving the way you eat.

Everything in this world has its own unique vibration, and this includes our bodies, and the foods we eat.  The faster our mind and body is vibrating, the more conscious, aware and in sync we are with the world, and with all of those around us.

Through the Vibrational Foods radio show, Val helps guide you in eating real, whole foods; foods that are naturally high in their vibrational frequency, which in turn allow you to raise your vibration.  Learn how to shop for and cook foods as Nature intended us to eat; fresh, whole, natural, and as locally-sourced as possible. Discover what your body needs to thrive and how to find these all important nutrients in great- tasting foods, right in your community.  Become empowered to take charge of your eating and your health. Becoming empowered is one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself!

ValMacDonald_Nutrition_sRegistered Holistic Nutritionist, Val MacDonald, enjoys enhancing the relationship her clients have with their bodies, with their food and with themselves.

Val experienced poor health in her 20’s and 30’s, largely due to eating too much sugar and refined foods, but also due to not understanding her body;  the ways it prefers to move, the importance of its’ relationship with the mind, and the physical and spiritual practices that both body and mind need in order to rejuvenate and restore.

What started as a journey of self discovery for Val, has evolved into a passion for helping others discover their own path to wellness and inner peace.

The Piece of Cake program reflects this passion for helping others with this discovery process.  As a participant, you are guided to respect your body’s boundaries and to respect all that your body does for you; to stop judging your body for the way it looks and to accept and love your body the way it is right now; to learn food myths and truths and eating guidelines that nourish your body for life; to discover how to eat mindfully instead of emotionally and how to balance your blood sugar to prevent food cravings; to find physical and spiritual practices which energize your body and your mind; to recover from illness and reclaim your health, no matter where it is that you are starting; and finally, to access your inner richness and awaken your magnificence, to live your life the way you are meant to live!

Val MacDonald Nutrition & Wellness Solutions offers nutrition and wellness counselling, classes and workshops and the Piece of Cake Program to transform your health with grace and ease.
