It seems a little counterintuitive that something good can come out of the strange times we’re living in now. A lot of us are in pain, some of us have experienced loss and all of us have questions about how we’re going to navigate through the uncertainty that’s sure to continue for the foreseeable future. In dreamwork, we say that nightmares are a good thing, that through the dark images comes new clarity and insights that were hidden before we were forced to face them. The same holds true now, ...

We all have those habits that no longer serve us. Some are visible, like smoking or biting our nails. Others are internal, like self-loathing and defeatism. Simply telling ourselves to stop is not enough. The triggers that bring on those habits are deeply ingrained and take more than a conscious act of willpower to make them go away. So what can we do? It turns out, a lot. This week, I turn to teacher, author and motivator Rex Sikes, who has devoted his life to helping others create their best l...

If you’re like me, there are times when you talk to yourself. Mostly it’s to self-criticize or to remind yourself of something you need to do. But did you know there is a way to self-talk that can actually change your feelings or behaviors? It’s called Soul Talking and this powerful tool is the subject of this episode of Dream Power Radio. Soul Talking is a meditation that can release the negative “junk” from your true self and all that you consist of. This technique was developed by my guest, J...

Did you pay attention to your dream today? I hope so, because that dream could give you guidance for your life choices or at least provide some insights on how to get through your day. Sometimes the dreams we have as children are even more powerful, as the images they provide can stay with us our entire lives. We discuss the importance of all dreams with Kathryn Ridall, whose new book Dreaming at the Gates gives advice on how to deepen our relationship with dreams, prepare us for major life chan...

There’s an old saying in the self-help world: Fake it till you make it. It’s the concept that you envision yourself as the person you want to be which enables you, over time, to actually be that person. The same holds true for laughter. When we laugh all the time we’re engaging in an act of self-healing, even if we fake that laugh. For those who find it hard to laugh by themselves there’s a cure: Laughter Yoga. We take a look at this practice and how it works with Laughter Yoga Master Shelley Be...

The other day I was watching the old movie Wayne’s World and chuckled when Wayne and Garth were bowing their heads to Aerosmith and proclaiming, “We’re not worthy!” Then it got me thinking about how many of us go through stages of our lives where we tell ourselves we’re not worthy or we’re not deserving to have whatever positive benefit is out there waiting for us. All of us have these kinds of self-limiting beliefs that stop us in our tracks. Are we doomed to relive them over and over when face...

One of my favorite ways to ease my stress is yoga. The gentle movements, stretches and breathing always make me feel good and clear my mind for whatever the rest of the day brings me.

This episode of Dream Power Radio takes a look at the many facets of this ancient process with yoga master, Giselle Toner, who tells us: •how you can benefit from yoga •what type of yoga is best for you •what beginn...

There’s no doubt that everyone’s stress levels have been set to high right now. With so much uncertainty out there, it’s only natural this is the case.

Fortunately, there are ways we can let go of our anxieties and increase resilience and our wellbeing while dealing with the ongoing pandemic. One very effective method is called G...

There’s an interesting phenomenon going on. More people are talking about their dreams than ever before. You can’t go anywhere without reading an article or social media post about COVID-19 being the catalyst for a big new wave of dreams. Weird dreams. Dreams about masks. Dreams about being chased by a giant Coronavirus molecule. Dreams about being freaked out by being in a crowded room. Dreams about being alone in the world. As a dream expert I say, “Hooray!”. The rest of the world is coming to...

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. We use outside events to make excuses for why our lives aren’t what we want them to be. Instead of focusing on our dreams, we dwell in our worries. Instead of living large we diminish ourselves and often given up before we’ve even crossed the starting line. If you’re a regular listener to these podcasts you know I’m all about offering solutions on how to live your dream life. That’s why I’ve called on Dr. Dravon James to come back and help us navigate t...

Okay. Okay. You’re home. You’re bored. Cabin fever has sunk in. You’ve vegged out on TV and baked enough goods to last until the next millennium. Now what? You know there’s more you can do but perhaps don’t know where to start. This pause in our lives is a gift to us, if we know how to take advantage of this time. My guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio, transformational expert Wendy Darling, has suggestions on how to rid yourself of ennui and become the productive person you know you’re m...

A lot of people have been telling me they’re remembering more of their dreams these days. I guess there’s something about a pandemic that brings out our subconscious thoughts of uncertainty, fear, panic and, yes, hope and inspiration. One of the greatest modern dreamworkers, Jeremy Taylor, told us that our dreams “reflect inborn creativity and the ability to face and solve life’s problems.” How do they do this? We explore the role dreams play in our lives with noted dream expert, Robert Hoss, wh...

These past few weeks have been hard on everyone. Even if you’re fortunate enough to not contract COVID-19 or lose your job, life has changed drastically. Being home all day can feel confining and being away from family or friends can feel like a deprivation. No one would blame you if you’re full of fear and spend the day moving miserably from your daytime to nighttime pajamas. If you’re a mother, it’s doubly hard, as you have to keep a smile on your face for your children who may or may not unde...

So now you’ve got a lot of time on your hands. Assuming you’re healthy and not in any danger, what do you do? Maybe you’re thinking it’s time to write that book that’s been in your head forever. Is it a good idea? How do you know? And how to you go from idea to manuscript to publication? I posed these questions to someone who would know. Susan Shapiro is a New York Times best selling author and long-time writing teacher who teaches her students not only how to create good literature but how to m...

It may seem like a contradiction. How is it possible to thrive during the worst crisis most of us have ever faced? The world as we know it has changed. Overnight, we’ve been forced to rethink how we live and the actions we need to take to stay healthy. It’s enough to make anyone want to crawl into a hole and hide. That feeling is totally understandable. Fear is the first natural reaction to the unknown, especially a negative unknown. As I write this, I can’t predict what’s going to happen tomorr...

When we talk about understanding dreams or getting a handle on any aspect of our lives, we usually think in terms of words: talking or writing out our thoughts and insights or using techniques that involve conversation or verbal discussion. However, we can take advantage of one of our other senses—our sight—to visually describe what’s going on in our subconscious. Often when we draw pictures of our dreams we gain new understandings that aren’t seen in words. This is also why art therapy has beco...

Are you one of those people who skirts around a ladder on a sidewalk instead of walking underneath it? Do you shudder at the sight of a black cat? Does a feeling of dread pour over you when you see Friday the 13th on a calendar? We all have superstitions—those irrational fears that some object or some event will bring us bad luck. Where do they come from and why do we continue to believe in them, even when our rational mind knows better? We tackle the world of superstitions with renowned psychic...

How many times have you set a goal or intention and seen it fall away over time? I’ve done this myself time and again over the years. In the past, I’ve told myself I want to lose weight or create a project or change a bad habit and then never follow through due to inattention and inaction. Then I beat myself up for it, creating a downward cycle of spiraling self-doubt. I don’t do that anymore and that’s because I’ve learned how to keep my focus on what I want to achieve in my life. One tool that...

We’ve all read books and seen movies about soldiers in wartime, stories about their actions in battle, their deprivations and the sacrifices of those they left behind at home. We never hear much about their dreams and what they tell us about their reactions to all they are enduring. But these dreams can reveal volumes about their inner thoughts, fears and premonitions. My guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio, historian Jonathan White, has taken a special interest in the dreams of soldiers ...

It’s a fact of life: We’re all growing older. How do you imagine it’s going to be for you when you reach your golden years? Do you see yourself climbing Mount Everest?

That is certainly the case for my guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio, Max Izenberg, who claims she’s healthier now in her eighties than she was twenty years ...

People have fantasized about talking to animals forever. They’ve even developed apps that claim to translate your dog’s yaps and whimpers. If you’ve got a pet, I’m sure you’ve wondered what would happen if you could have a two-way conversation. Is she happy with you? Does he want to tell you about something that’s hurting him? How can you let her know you’ll return from your day at work? The answer may be that you can communicate with your furry friend. We explore this and many issues about how ...
