Fun on the radio last night

What a great night guesting on Talk With Ondre Live on www.openmindradio.com last night. We talked about the mind, body and spirit connection in health and illness, as well as the importance of having faith in yourself. We began the show talking about the increasing amount of aggression and frustration that we have been seeing around us in response to an increasingly stressful world which has been leading to feelings of loss of control.

Ondre spoke with our first caller about the importance of making important choices based on feeling passion about what you are doing. When we make choices based on the passion we feel, it helps keep us active, involved and caring about what we are doing. Too often we make choices based solely on finances or on what others will think, or host of other reasons that have nothing to do with what we really want to be spending our time doing. Without honoring our passion and listening to our inner guide we ultimately end up feeling empty and discontent.

Melanie, who we had spoken to last week about issues of hypervigelance in response to trauma, called to let us know that she and Max were happy and well, working hard at turning last weeks advice into a daily practice of new perspective and mindful breathing. It was wonderful to hear the smile in her voice.

Our third caller was concerned about her son and didn't know about how to go about getting help for him. Ondre asked her to trust in finding the right doctor and/or therapist for him. I offered up that her faith in her son and his ability to come through this difficult time was much more powerful and helpful than her worry about him.

With our final caller we suggested coping with worry and fear through coming up with a plan for dealing with the worst possible scenario. Ondre pointed out the dangers of allowing stress to get to the point where it affects health. Once again, we discussed the fact that faith in ourselves and our ability to cope will help us, and that our worry will not.

Throughout the evening we also talked about the importance of social connection and how without realizing it we can actually push people away with our lonliness. Random acts of kindness can bring kindness back our way again, and a simple smile or kind word to someone in line at the coffee shop can bring a smile to your and someone else's face. It's easier to feel good during these times of difficulty than we realize sometimes. It's important to remember that it's all about perspective...how we look at things really does make a difference. We have a choice.

Once again we addressed the similarities between intuitive healing and psychology, especially in terms of setting an intent and empowering people to take responsibility for their own health and well being. As expected, the night was filled with good energy. I was so honored to get to be a part of it all.

We let listeners know that if they want to hear more from me or Ondre we've got a couple of events coming up:
1) I'll be holding a free lecture on Making Healthy Choices, the second in a series of three concerning
Managing Your Stress to Protect Your Health. The lecture will be held on Wednesday, September 15th from 11am to 12pm at HealthSouth Scottsdale Rehab Hospital at 9630 E. Shea Blvd. To RSVP call 480-551-5400 and ask for Melinda. The third lecture on Effective Communication will be on October 27th from 11-12 at HealthSouth once again.

2) Ondre has two workshops coming up next week in Grass Valley, California as part of his Gift Tour on Friday September 17th and Saturday, September 18th. Check out the workshop link at his website www.ondre.com for more information on these fabulous workshops. I had the opportunity to attend one of these workshops a couple of weeks ago in Los Angeles. It was amazing. I learned so much about what Ondre does and how I can apply some of these lessons to the helping work that I do. It's an opportunity not to be missed.

And of course, you can almost always catch Ondre live on any Thursday night from 7-9pm MST on www.openmindradio.com where he hosts Talk With Ondre Live. Who knows, you might just catch me sitting in for a surprise guest appearance again sometime!

Watch for future events on our FaceBook pages: Sari Roth Roemer and Ondre Healer.

Be happy and well,
