***The Twenty-First Season***

Show # 270;   7/16/2011:  Sherry Ackerman

Sherry refers to herself as a socially engaged philosopher who believes in "doing philosophy on the streets".   It’s not that she hasn’t done the academic scene.  She accumulated four, yes four, graduate degrees and did a 35-year stint as a Philosophy Professor.  Then, one day a light-bulb went off inside her head that reminded her that Socrates had done his thing “on the streets” and not in the ivory tower.  So, she waved goodbye to the University and has been out there—among the flotsam and jetsam of Humanity—ever since.  But, what does that really mean?

It means that she has spent more time with horses than humans—time that steered her toward learning how to homestead and create green solutions for modern living. She has cultivated a deep insight into what constitutes real sustainability.  She’s decided that sustainable living is a cornerstone of integrated spirituality.  She is not talking about recyclable grocery bags and hybrid automobiles.  Sure, they are a start—but she is talking about something much deeper.   Radical lifestyle change based on observing the Universal Laws of Nature.  This is Spirit: where transcendence meets immanence. Yin and Yang. Shakti and Siva.

Her fertile, organic gardens, animal husbandry skills, and practice of living simply on the land has given her a gift of freedom from anxiety and tension and an opportunity to live harmoniously in an increasingly complicated world.  It gives her space inside her head for the Mind of Meditation.  Less distraction.  Less noise.  She lives a Good Life.  It’s that simple.  And, it’s so easy that it’s hard.

America is at a crossroads--where there is an opportunity for people to take their lives into their own hands and live in a simpler, less routinized, more socially sensible manner.  Good Lives.  This means, though, giving up a lot of old ego-entrenched patterns and hubris.  It means changing our values.  It means realizing that we are not the center of the Universe.  It means living One Life in One Love.

Sherry offers a blueprint--a practical course in radical stability through voluntary simplicity.  She offers it to you as a catalyst to begin writing your own story-- a guide to finding personal freedom.  She has written a couple of books that map out the territory, loudly and clearly.   If you are into animals, particularly horses, you will really resonate with her book, Dressage in the Fourth Dimension.  If you want to go a step further and move into gardens, lifestyle and sustainable living, then The Good Life: How to Create a Sustainable and Fulfilling Lifestyle is going to give you a lot of grist for the mill!

Show # 271;   7/16/2011:   Gary Layman

Gary is the author of the newly released book, “I AM LIGHT, The Prodigal Path and Beyond.”  He is also a visionary artist, minister and conscious teaching channel for the Melchizedek Order.  In his writing, Gary describes the archetypal journey that all human beings participate in, traditionally referred to in the parable of the prodigal son. 

What makes his narrative journey unique and contemporary is how he leads the reader through the seemingly ordinary events in our lives toward the palpable realization of who we are as conscious beings.   Beyond the seeming memoir format, Gary gives the reader tools for healing and conscious Self-Realization.

The contribution of his " Solar Harp " visionary painting and presentation helps us initiate a new season of BRIDGING HEAVEN AND EARTH toward our collective goal of returning humanity to Oneness. In this vision, we are all concluding our Prodigal sense of separation and returning to Unity Conscious.

Show # 276;   10/15/2011:   Chris Celine

Chris’ childhood world was one of abuse, repression and terror. This is what she believed the world was about. Until, from the depths of her despair, Chris began searching for a new way.  Her conscious spiritual journey began when she was called as a young adult, determined to find new life and freedom from this limited world, to a higher quest for the Truth of herself.  Chris studied many forms of spiritual practice, including Buddhism, Native American, Judaism and others, and soon became aware that the Source of All Life is within all traditions.

Approximately 15 years ago, Chris entered into a deep Shamanic/Healing Path centered in the heart of Brazil.   She remained fully committed and dedicated to her journey in this form for eight years, healing most of the false ideas that she carried through all of her lifetimes.  After this, Chris was called to enter a several year retreat.  During this time, she was guided to enter fully into the teaching of A Course in Miracles.  Chris received the transmission completely through her heart, and guided by her prayers, intention, and deep devotion to be healed of all that held her prisoner in this temporary illusion, her heart completely melted and she awakened to the Truth of All Love.  Since Chris’ awakening, she has dedicated her life to guide, with radical gentleness and complete devotion, all beloveds who have a deep desire to come home easily and gently.

Show # 278;   11/12/2011:  Lori Ann David

Lori Ann is a professional landscape designer/landscape contractor, artist and sculptor since 1983.  She has produced many award winning private and commercial/public projects and art installations.

Lori Ann’s work is an ongoing synthesis of her lifetime of creativity in the renaissance arts. She began at an early age sewing with her Sicilian grandmother and mother, noted seamstresses, and making shoes with her grandfather and contemporaries.  Always one for original fashion, this gave way to her own original couture, which remains to this day. Never one to stop learning or creating, she has mastered most skills and techniques that are required to create anything.

In her early days of farming on a Pacific Northwest island, she learned to weld as a necessity, while driving tractors and combines, haying, raising grain crops, cattle, sheep, poultry, organic crops and products, all the while running a successful custom shoemaking studio. This led the way to becoming one of the most highly sought after designers and fabricators of Topiary, the art of living sculpture. Thousands of shapes, displays, gardens and installations later,   Lori Ann started experimenting with these steel welded forms, adding either fiberglass, ferro-cement  or other permanent shaping exteriors, and adding ceramic tiles, handmade tiles, glass, mirror, semi-precious stones, stones, and other materials.

These mosaics & sculptures are made to be interior or exterior, are completely water-proof, and are all structural climbing objects. If you can imagine it, it can be made.

Lori Ann currently has these works in progress:

A 10’ roadrunner, a herd (5) of full size horses, flying hummingbirds (5’x 7’), a huge peacock with very big fanning tail (7’x 9’), a Dancing starfish (3’ to 8’), and a 9’ strolling razor clam.

Michael awakens souls.  With compassion, humor and wisdom, he heals thousands of people from around the world and helps guide them to their true destiny and life purpose. Michael, who has previously appeared on Bridging many times, believes that no matter the circumstance, everyone can find happiness and spiritual fulfillment if they just know how.

Born and raised in Japan, yet educated in American schools, Michael has spent a lifetime bridging gaps: not only between East and West, but also between men and women, young and old, mind and body, heart and soul.

Today, Michael is revered around the world as a master teacher, life coach, visionary, healer, clairvoyant, and pioneer of spiritual healing and psychic development.  His award-winning book, You Are The Answer, is highly celebrated and his powerful seminars are booked long in advance as people flock to experience his unique 'No Pain - All Gain' approach and profound healing work.

Michael is regularly asked to make media appearances, endearing radio and television audiences with his laughter, compassion and insight. He has been featured on CNN, NBC's The Leeza Show, Bridging Heaven & Earth, The Aware Show, Hay House Radio and as a guest expert in the film, The Indigo Evolution.  Michael was also included in ABC News’ The Century: America’s Time with Peter Jennings.  Currently, he is starring in the documentary feature Who Are You?  and writing two new books, Making Your Difference The Difference You Make: A Guide to Growing Up Awake... and Psychic! and Healing Your Heart: The Journey into the Heart of Healing.

Michael has always felt compelled to continuously expand his work further and share his message and gifts with a global audience. In 1994 he committed to building an international "spiritual community without walls" with his wife, Raphaelle, also a spiritual healer, teacher and clairvoyant. Together, they formed their own successful publishing company.  Now based in legendary Mt. Shasta, California, Star of Peace Publishing specializes in the publication and worldwide distribution of media product within the spiritual empowerment, healing, growth and intuitive development genres.

In between teaching, writing and dedicating his life to awakening as many people as possible to their soul purpose, Michael also gives of his time, energy and wisdom as director or advisor on numerous boards, including: The Institute for the Integration of Science, Intuition and Spirit, The Hawaiian Village of Cultural and Healing Arts, Heartbeats of the World, The Bridging Heaven and Earth Foundation, Friends of the Aware Show and Moodtyme, Inc.   He is also a consultant to CosmiKids and Our Love of Children Foundation.

Show # 281;   12/10/2011:   Inelia Benz

Inelia arrived on this reality matrix for one lifetime only, and there is but one mission she arrived with, and that is “to raise the level of vibration of the planet”, after which, she will cease to exist.  This places her in the position of having no attachment to her own life, awareness, development or enlightenment as an individual.   Inelia is not unique, as there are thousands of individuals like her on the planet at the moment.

Inelia’s assignments have changed very little throughout her life.   She has been involved in assisting lightworkers and lightwarriors in their awareness path as well as exploring and investigating what the "dark side" is up to.  She has also been developing tools and exercises which are quick and effective in the raising of awareness and vibration of individuals and the collective.  Inelia’s journey has not been without its dangers, failures and injuries, but has been worth it.

In the 90s and 10s, Inelia used the internet and books to share a message of empowerment.  But she kept her identity and name to a minimum.  On January 2010, she received a request from "Source" to go public as a person, which she has done. The first action she took was establish the website ascension101.com, and place as much material there as she could.  This latest assignment has been growing steadily, and reaching a broad spectrum of sentient consciousness in and around the planet.

Inelia’s main messages are:

•                The biggest secret that “the powers that were” do not want you to know, is that each individual can create, manifest and manipulate his or her own reality. 

•                Collective reality is based on “agreement”.

•                The human race acts as a collective, and by keeping the masses asleep, the collective can be steered whichever way those who are into “power over others” want it to go.

•                What keeps the masses asleep is the energy of fear.  Most of the worldwide media, technology and policy is geared to propagate and infuse the collective with fear.  By processing and integrating fear, a person can no longer be manipulated by external influences.  By reaching a critical mass of individuals on the planet who process personal and collective fear, we break the chain and the collective wakes up en masse.

•                The Shift is not something that will happen overnight, but something that was strong enough to be felt in the 50s, and has been accelerating ever since.

Show # 282;   1/14/2012:   Selacia

Selacia is an internationally known writer, intuitive healer, and guide to others on the path of spiritual awakening. Author of Your Guide to Earth’s Pivotal Years, she has been a writer her entire life. She is a former foreign correspondent with The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and other media. As an international journalist, she has decades of experience in the areas of world politics and social change, healing and consciousness, and spiritual transformation.

In her professional journalism career, Selacia covered the White House, U.S. Congress, G8 meetings, economic summits, key heads of state such as Margaret Thatcher, and world trade talks. During her time in Washington, focusing on politics and macroeconomics, she reported on the Federal Reserve, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Fannie Mae. This early background gave her an insider's view of today's global economic meltdown and the politics of global imbalances.

The author is a pioneer in DNA intuitive healing, serving people everywhere who desire wholeness and a heart-centered life. In her global healing work, she has addressed the United Nations (S.E.A.T.), and her writings are read in sixty-four countries.

This prolific writer has in her ancestral family tree the beloved writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The American poet Longfellow (1807-82), best known for works including The Song of Hiawatha, had a gift of simple, romantic storytelling in verse and a sound lyric sense. His works were rooted in literature rather than in life. On the other hand, Longfellow's descendant, Selacia, focuses her writing in ways that reflect real life.

She has dedicated her life to spirit and to helping others connect with their true spiritual nature. Naturally intuitive from an early age, Selacia has a lifelong connection with her own inner wisdom. Her spiritual guides include a group of highly evolved nonphysical beings called The Council of 12. The loving energy of these wise guides has become an integral part of Selacia's life and work.

Selacia is known on all continents for her global meditation events focused on personal and planetary healing.

Over the past two decades, Selacia has undertaken in-depth studies involving healing, consciousness, and ancient shamanic and spiritual paths. As part of that, she has studied with a number of great teachers, including those from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, as well as leading edge visionaries and healers. She lives in Southern California.

Show # 284;   2/11/2012:  Elena Tonetti-Vladimirova

For the past eight years, Elena has traveled internationally teaching her world-renowned "Birth Into Being" workshops on the average of 12 countries per year.  Elena shares a unique, innovative, and highly effective approach to Limbic Imprint Re-Coding.  Beneficial for any adult interested in their own personal evolution, as well as for pregnant couples and families planning conscious conception and birth in the future.  Limbic Imprint Re-Coding invokes our cellular memory of well-being, unlocks the mysteries of our behaviors, and realigns our actions with our emotions and desires.  For pregnant couples, Elena's workshops often lead to ecstatic birth experiences.

Since 1982, Elena is one of the leaders of the “Conscious Birth” movement in Russia.  She is also director and producer of the magical video, "Birth As We Know It"(2006), an award-winning documentary that is making a difference for hundreds of thousands of people in 57 countries—literally without any marketing or advertizing.  The movie also has, at present, been translated into 12 languages by local volunteers.  The powerful and informative film is about the correlation between the birth trauma and the quality of our life as adults, and about what it really takes to prepare for conscious birth and to deliver a baby gracefully, minimizing trauma for all involved.

See http://www.BirthIntoBeing.com for Elena's calendar of events, workshop description, numerous interviews, articles, photos, etc, including the 10 min trailer from "Birth As We Know It" or call her at:  530.566.0199 (California Time Zone)

"a world-wide energy amplifying process using art and the collective energies of many.....basically it is that each artist produces an all-new (so it is fresh, spontaneous and NOW) work of art (painting, sculpture, collage....anything that comes through them) based on the theme " Bridging Heaven & Earth "....the collective energies of so many unbelievable, creative, people, from all over the world thinking, meditating on, and manifesting  “Bridging Heaven & Earth " will be huge......

Then we will put the art on the Bridging television show that goes out all over the U.S. to over 150 cities and is shown on the Internet.....we will put all pieces on our website and feature them in the Bridging newsletter....gallery openings, shows at beautiful venues.....it's all open, inclusive, and infinite.....

Also, whatever we sell the art for will be split with the artist and the Bridging Foundation so each individual artist, as well as the Foundation, will be supported.....

That's it, in short.....the response has been unbelievable....
