Why Spiritual Teachers Are Getting Physical: The Body as Your Gateway to Higher Consciousness

Doreen Mary Bray, who has worked between worlds for over 40 years as a naturopath and mystical guide, carries a radical message: your body isn’t a vehicle you’re trapped in—it’s what your soul longed for and chose. She teaches that souls wait lifetimes for the privilege of embodiment, selecting parents, place, and form to walk on beaches, feel touch, and experience love.

In interviews, Bray will reveal how souls choose incarnation and what that means for how we live. Drawing from her book The Angel and the Avatar, she’ll explain why anxiety and depression may be your soul’s language trying to break through, and why learning to honor the body as sacred—not fix or transcend it—is the awakening our time demands. Listeners will discover practices for hearing their soul’s voice and understanding embodiment as the miracle it truly is.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS:

You say souls long for embodiment and choose it—what does that mean for someone who struggles with their body?
How can someone tell if their anxiety is actually their soul trying to communicate?
What’s one practice to begin honoring the body as the soul’s sacred gift?

How to Reclaim Attention in a World Built to Distract

We live in a world designed to hijack our attention. The average adult now spends over seven hours a day on screens, yet many feel more scattered, reactive, and stuck than ever. Author and senior UCLA mindful teacher Mitra Manesh says this isn’t just a focus issue; it’s an attention crisis quietly eroding our freedom to choose.

On your show, Mitra will reveal why even intelligent, successful people often live in “survival mode,” how constant stimulation weakens our decision-making, and why reclaiming attention is the first and most important step toward true freedom.

Drawing from her inspirational fiction, The Attentionist: New Choices for a New World—a parable in the spirit of The Alchemist—she offers a transformative blend of storytelling and insight, packed with techniques and practices for improving attention as a transformative force in all aspects of life.

This is a timely invitation to shift from reaction to creation, and a powerful case for why reclaiming attention may be the most radical act of personal power in our time.

A Bold Plan to Train 700 Million Entrepreneurs. Could it Work?

David Selley isn’t your typical 87-year-old. He’s a globe-trotting entrepreneur, married for 65 years, and now launching a Guinness World Record attempt—to become the oldest author to publish the most books in a single year. But behind the bold headlines is an even bolder mission: to train 700 million entrepreneurs around the world, many of whom have been overlooked by traditional education systems. That’s not to say Selley is anti-education. Inspired by the late Sir Ken Robinson, he believes in learning—but questions whether everyone needs a B.A., M.A., or Ph.D. Drawing from decades of experience across three countries, three careers, and a lifetime of business success, Selley shares how our creativity—so vivid in childhood—often gets stifled by rigid systems that reward conformity over innovation. Ask him: What inspired your goal to train 700 million entrepreneurs—and why do you think it’s possible? How did your own daughter’s creativity spark a lifelong concern about how schools shape us?

Now former international ad exec James Flaherty is proving that age is no barrier to purpose, reinvention, or joy. In his new book “Loving Longevity: Make Your Next Years Your Best Years,” Flaherty tackles aging with the same wit, guts, and creativity that made him a standout in advertising—and in life. He speaks candidly about caregiving for his partner with dementia, navigating grief, staying connected across generations, and how older adults can rekindle their sense of purpose.

With 7.5 million depressed seniors in the U.S., Flaherty’s message is as urgent as it is uplifting: the script for aging is due for a rewrite.
