Season 1, Episode 11: Heather Hans – Visionary, Healer & Teacher

In this episode, I get to speak with Heather Hans, an internationally renowned visionary, healer & teacher, and author of the book, The Heart of Self-Love: How to Radiate with Confidence. Heather is a professional speaker, video host, producer, artist, and consultant, using her experience, skills and talents to teach people how to love themselves and each other.

Born in an Indian-led, Colorado ashram to a Jewish mother, Heather recognized her calling as a spiritual teacher by the time she was eight years old. She immersed herself in diverse studies of mystical traditions and brings those spiritual principles into her social work; as well as utilizing them in the tangible, results-oriented business world to help people excel.  Her numerology path (a personality typing system discovered by many ancient cultures, teachers, and mathematicians) is 33, also known as “the Christ path” and the “path of the avatar.” Naturally nurturing and highly clairvoyant & sensitive, she is able to see beyond the veil and identify the gifts that people possess, as well as what prevents them from reaching their goals. She can accurately sense a person’s energy and identify their astrological sign and numerology path without even meeting them and is able to harmonize living systems, including people, organizations, relationships, and the physical body. These traits make her an unusually powerful teacher and facilitator.

Prior to founding her company, Love Heals Productions, LLC, Heather left a successful career as a university instructor and Certified Public Accountant, employed by Arthur Andersen and Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, in order to pursue her passion of uplifting people and helping them transform.

Overcoming a difficult upbringing exposed to loss, addiction, oppression, abuse, and physical ailments, Heather has reached goals she once thought were impossible. Celebrating her gifts, learning from her pain, and sharing her story have allowed Heather to emerge as a channel to teach others how to excel, evolve, and embrace their power. In addition to her healing and teaching work, Heather is a mother, runner, and active volunteer in her community. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, USA and enjoys a good laugh above all else.

Season 1, Episode 10: When & Why Self-Help Fails

In this, our first Sunday episode, your host, Michael Neeley will take you on a discovery of the reasons why your efforts at personal development (self-help) have fallen short or missed the mark.

While the self-improvement genre continues to grow by leaps and bounds, do you ever wonder why people keep devouring the material? Wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that if the books (or workshops or seminars) were working, that we wouldn’t ever need to buy another self-help book again?

YET, statistics have proven otherwise.

From my work in the development of my book, The Art of Forgetting, I have distilled the challenge down to three basic elements, which I share in this podcast episode.

Season 1, Episode 9: Guided Meditation #1 with Michael Neeley

Whether you are a regular practitioner or a beginner, the intention of this guided meditation is that you stoke the fire of your passion for the practice. If you’ve been meditating much in life, a lot of this may seem very basic; however, it is always important to remember the beauty of its simplicity. So, please consider this a refresher.

If you are a novice, it will all seem new to you. Please enter it with the understanding that this is not a normal guided meditation – because there is no such thing. A guided meditation can take on as many forms as the variety of a butterfly’s wings. Today, you will be guided and informed simultaneously. I hope to dispel some of the prevalent myths and misconceptions about meditation. And while there are many schools of thought on the topic, in all of my studies on both meditation and Buddhism, I have found the basic premises to be the most beneficial.

Conscious Divorce: Turning Pain Into Pleasure

Few subjects are as touchy as divorce. This became very apparent in the response to my recent article in elephant journal where I advocate a new paradigm. Conscious Divorce isn’t so messy, nor even that painful. The choice can be yours.
