Quantum Spirituality with Sara Troy and her guest Lauren Walker, on air from May 10th
Lauren has been named one of the top 100 most influential yoga teachers in America. Her new book outlines Walker’s system to help anyone who feels overwhelmed or anxious, as well as those struggling to recover from an intensely traumatic experience.
In Lauren Walker’s THE ENERGY TO HEAL: Find Lasting Freedom from Stress and Trauma Through Energy Medicine Yoga (Llewellyn; May 2022), Walker offers a crash course in her unique combination of energy work and yoga: Energy Medicine Yoga (EMYoga). Grounded in science and ancient healing practices, EMYoga provides tools to help us in the face of anxiety. Walker provides simple, step-by-step practices and gentle tools anyone can use to make EMYoga work for them. Whether in the midst of a crisis, on the brink of a meltdown, or just grappling with the stress of day-to-day life, EMYoga can help anyone alleviate stress and reclaim the joy in life.
In down-to-earth language, THE ENERGY TO HEAL explains what energy and Energy Medicine Yoga are, and why EMYoga is so effective. This approach to restoring emotional balance draws on two powers everyone has: energy and the mind. With knowledge and compassion, Walker discusses why energy is not only the best medicine but also essential for healing from stress and trauma.
Along with basic yoga poses and simple practices like deep breathing, THE ENERGY TO HEAL teaches how to use a unique tool: the 5E Star. Based on Chinese medicine’s Five Element Theory, the 5E Star sheds light on the five main difficult emotional responses we have for any event—fear, anger, anxiety, worry, and grief—and acts like a compass for calming whichever powerful emotion we’re feeling. As Walker emphasizes, “life isn’t a one-and-done thing,” and likewise EMYoga is not a “one-and-done practice.” EMYoga is replicable and accessible, regardless of age or physical abilities, and even for yoga first-timers. Through her guide, these practices can readily become incorporated into daily life.
Lauren Walker has been teaching yoga and meditation since 1997 and created Energy Medicine Yoga while teaching at Norwich University, the oldest private military college in the country. She now teaches EMYoga across the US and internationally. She is frequently quoted and cited as an expert in Yoga Journal, Mantra Magazine, and Yoga Digest, and a feature article about her yoga work was published in The New York Times. Her two previous books, The Energy Medicine Yoga Prescription (2017) and Energy Medicine Yoga: Amplify the Healing Power of Your Yoga Practice (2014), both won the Nautilus Silver Award for Best Mind/Body publication. In 2016, she was named one of the top 100 most influential yoga teachers in America.

Sara’s View of Life, with Sara Troy, on air from May 10th
I have just finished doing a show on Stalin, Lennen, and Putin and their love of poisons and killing people who offend them. It is very scary to know that there are still people in the world that will kill so easily and also take such pleasure out of it.
People who take such pleasure in killing others because of their existence or who challenge their authority because they feel threatened are people who are empty inside. They have no soul, or heart consciousness and therefore can not take responsibility for their actions and they do not care. When they take such pleasure in killing and the pain and suffering of others, there is a sickness inside of them that is more than just emptiness.
All these dictators are lost souls, little boys trapped in an injured empty vessel and they need power, lots of it to feel important. But, no amount of power will ever feed them enough, for they are forever empty of kindness, caringness, and love. It would be sad, but for the souls that have been tortured by their hands.
Now with Bio-Weapons being threatened of which they are prepared for and we are not, who knows what will happen if we do not stop this man Putin.
We all face pain in our lives, we all have challenges to overcome, that is where we find our strength, courage, skills, and abilities in life, through the process of healing, growing, and discovering how awesome we can be when we feed the right will.
The Devil is within every one of us, if we do not feed him, he has no voice, but when we feed and invite him in, he can take over very fast, leading one down the rabbit hole of hate despair, violence, and death. The only way to beat the devil is to face him, stand tall as a whole, in unison and in force of self-love, inner strength, and higher vibrations of love, for that will shatter him, them, into pieces.
They will never embrace love or consciousness, for there is too much loathing inside of them for themselves. While they blame everyone on the outside, their inside knows it is their choice and they must own it, and that scares them the most. The bully must face a stronger force, a force of unity, empowerment of the community, and in the power of love, but know this, imprisonment won’t kill them, but to take their power of control away from them, is death in itself.
So while we see all the hate pain and suffering we have inflicted upon each other over the centuries, let us look to the power of empowerment, of the higher energy of love, kindness, caring, and compassion, for these, are the weapons that will win, hate only destroys, love creates.
Each and every one of us faces the devil in some way, will you let him win, or rise up to a vibration he can’t reach? it is up to every one of us. Choose wisely.

Sara Troy with her guests John O’Neill and Sarah Wynne, on air from May 10th
Washington, D.C.—Communism must kill what it cannot control. So, for a century, it has killed artists, writers, musicians, and even dancers. It kills them secretly, using bioweapons and poison to escape accountability. Among its victims was Anna Pavlova, history’s greatest dancer, who was said to have God-given wings and feet that never touched the ground. But she defied Stalin, and for that, she had to die. Her sudden death in Paris in 1931 was a mystery until now. The Dancer and the Devil: Stalin, Pavlova, and the Road to the Great Pandemic by nationally bestselling author John O’Neill and international lawyer Sarah Wynne traces Marxism’s century-long fascination with bioweapons, from the Soviets’ leak of pneumonic plague in 1939 that nearly killed Stalin to leaks of anthrax at Kiev in 1972 and Yekaterinburg in 1979; from the leak of the flu in northeast China in 1977 that killed millions to the catastrophic COVID-19 leak from Biolabs in Wuhan, China. Marxism’s dark past must not be a parent to the world’s dark future.
COMMUNIST CHINA PLAYED WITH FIRE AND THE WORLD IS BURNING
Nearly ten million people have died so far from the mysterious COVID-19 virus. These dead follow a long line of thousands of other brave souls stretching back nearly a century who also suffered mysterious “natural” deaths, including dancers, writers, saints, and heroes. These honored dead should not be forgotten by an amnesiac government trying to avoid the inconvenient truth. The dead and those who remember and loved them deserve answers to two great questions. How? Why?
The Dancer and the Devil answers these questions. It tracks a century of Soviet and then Chinese Communist poisons and bioweapons through their development and intentional use on talented artists and heroes like Anna Pavlova, Maxim Gorky, Raoul Wallenberg, and Alexei Navalny. It then tracks leaks of bioweapons beginning in Saratov, Russia, in 1939 and Soviet Yekaterinburg in 1979 through Chinese leaks concluding with the recent concealed leak of the manufactured bioweapon COVID-19 from the military lab in Wuhan, China. Stalin, Putin, and Xi, perpetrators of these vast crimes against humanity itself, should not be allowed to escape responsibility. This book assembles the facts on these cowardly murderers, calling them to account for their heartless crimes against man culminating in COVID-19.
“There have been tyrants and murderers [throughout history], and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it—always.” —Mahatma Gandhi
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began nearly two weeks ago on Feb. 24, people all over the world have watched the brutal destruction of apartments, supermarkets, and city centers. They have also watched the heroic and likely hopeless resistance of the Ukrainian people ranging from farmers fighting tanks with tractors to outgunned, untrained mothers joining the front lines with Molotov cocktails.
Those witnessing the graphic news ask why? Why does Vladimir Putin direct such a horror? Why do the Ukrainians fight so fiercely against fearful odds with such courage? To understand the passionate resistance of the Ukrainian people to the fanatical, brutal assault of Stalinist Putin, look to the history of their national anthem, Ukraine, and brutal Putin himself.
As we see the massive overwhelming Russian troops, tanks, and planes moving to crush the much smaller Ukraine resistance, an old Ukrainian song is often heard by crowds sheltering with children below ground. The crowds began to spontaneously sing a haunting melody beginning with the words, “Thou art not dead Ukraine … as in the Springtime melts the snow, so shall melt away the foe.”
A video of a housewife singing the song while clearing bombing debris became popular on YouTube and is now played all over the world. Written in the 1860s, the Ukrainian national anthem was banned in Stalin times. Humming it would bring a quick death sentence. For hundreds of years until the Soviet period in the 1920s, Ukraine was a land of small farmers called Kulaks, much like the working farmers of Ohio or Iowa, and roving bands of herdsmen called Cossacks. The Cossacks were generally considered Europe’s greatest horsemen, fiercest warriors and freest souls. Their songs, much like our Western songs, were played and sung by guitar players known as Kobzars. Their romantic and beautiful ballads sang of great love and fierce war on the steppes (plains) of Ukraine and of the rides of the famous Don Cossacks and explorers. They were the retained history and culture of Ukraine.
The Cossacks became loyal Romanov followers in the 17th and 18th centuries. The last great successful cavalry charges of history were Ukrainian Cossacks led by the so-called Black Baron in World War I, inexplicably breaking the back of modern Austrian machine gun and artillery units through courage and sabers. Because of their love of freedom, the Ukrainians were enemies of the Soviets from the beginning, particularly Stalin. He levied terrible revenge. As part of his own 1928-1932 “cultural revolution,” Stalin determined to control ideology and culture, banning words like God, killing many thousands of priests, and purging the arts. In 1931, the Kobzars in Ukraine were summoned to Kyiv to form a union and meet with Soviet leadership. Hundreds were instead shot and dumped into a secret mass grave with their instruments. Their songs and even their instruments were banned on penalty of death. Stalin then began the collectivization of all agriculture in this great breadbasket, seizing all land and forcing the entire population into collective farms owned by the State.
The collectivization experiment was predictability a failure. Stalin’s answer to reduced production was to initiate a slaughter in 1932-1934 sometimes called the Holodomor. Stalin seized most grain, including even the seed stocks required for the next year’s crop. Those who resisted and their families were shot. Wealthier families were sent to be worked and starved to death in notorious projects like the White Sea-Baltic Canal. At least 6 million Ukrainians and perhaps many more perished by starvation and execution during the Great Famine as it came to be known – the greatest genocide other than the Holocaust in modern European history. Until their freedom from the Soviet Union in 1991, the Ukrainians were a bitter, enslaved people retaining in their hearts, but humming only secretly “thou art not dead, Ukraine.”
Putin’s background controls Putin’s actions. His grandfather was Stalin’s cook, and his father a World War II exterminator of humans for Stalin. Putin continued in the family business as a KGB officer who, like Stalin, was a self-made man of steel who avoided all combat but utilized deftness and poison to accelerate his rise and eliminate opponents. Asked about Putin when he became president of Russia in 1999, Putin’s mentor Anatoly Sobchak said, “Putin is Stalin.” Several days later, Sobchak and a bodyguard died suddenly of heart attacks without any prior history of coronary disease.
Like his idol Stalin, Putin pursued a dream of a Soviet empire that has graduated from being a retail poisoner of hundreds to a mass murderer of many thousands and potentially millions in Ukraine. And like Stalin, Putin may well succeed in his conquest of the physical land of Ukraine through vast numbers and brutal weapons, overcoming courage and homemade Molotov cocktails.
Putin will fail, however, to conquer the souls of the Ukrainian people. Writing songs is sometimes more important than writing the laws. When the Putin statues, like the Stalin statues, fall, the Ukrainians will again openly sing from their national anthem, “We’ll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom,” and summon forth from their graves the long-gone Cossack leaders to once again fight for Ukraine’s freedom on the steppes.

ECO Solutions with Sara Troy and her guest Lisa D. Foster, on air from May 3rd
Lisa D. Foster: is an entrepreneur, environmentalist, and author of ‘Bag Lady,’ who took the germ of a green living idea and grew it into a national business phenomenon. When she realized that Americans were throwing away a billion bags a day, Lisa D. Foster discovered reusable bags. Over the next twelve years, she changed the way Americans shopped. She remained true to her original purpose to reduce plastic waste and beat the odds to create a thriving company with an environmental mission.
Recounting my experience as a purpose-driven entrepreneur, my story provides a blueprint for using entrepreneurship to make the world better.
I’m very excited to announce that my book, Bag Lady: How I Started a Business for a Greener World and Changed the Way America Shops, released on Earth Day, April 22, 2022.
Those of you who have known me for a while may remember me in my previous career as a leading supplier of reusable bags in the US. If you have known me a really long time, you might even remember me as the high school English teacher I once was.
About a year ago, during the lockdown in the middle of the winter of Covid, I sat down to write about becoming obsessed with reducing plastic waste and transforming myself into the Bag Lady, an entrepreneur on a mission to get Americans to adopt reusable bags. Last fall, I found Tim Ward, publisher of Changemakers Books for John Hunt Publishing, who recognized the value of my story for other people that want to make a difference in their communities.
We are on 5 sites and 16 audios and 2 video platforms as seen here.
When I first learned about reusable shopping bags in 2005, the US was throwing away a billion plastic bags a day. The impacts of all those bags on our environment and our taxes kept me up at night. It hit my moral center. Getting other people to switch to reusable bags became for me, a moral imperative. I believed that if American shoppers knew what I knew, they would switch to reusable bags too. So, I did what any good English teacher would do. I took the facts about bags and turned them into a story. Then I took the story and turned it into the basis for starting a business for a greener world.
When I started, I had no idea how to build a business. I was an English teacher making cold calls overlooking the faculty parking lot. Very quickly, I found myself building an international supply chain and managing major accounts. I had to overcome the naysayers, an insanely steep learning curve, and my own mistakes. Ultimately, I beat the odds and created a thriving company with an environmental mission.
Now, I’m sharing the lessons I learned to inspire others to do the same.
