"Surprising Research Findings on Love: How to Boost Your Inner Angel and Intuition"

Ever wonder why you get in the same dating and mating ruts? And why is it that some people seem so different now from how they were at the beginning of the relationship? Some of the key reasons for these problems lie in our lack of mindfulness about our intuitive signals. We tend to minimize our doubts or don't pick up the clues that give us valuable information about the other person. Even if we are observant, we often don't know what to observe. Soon, we fall back on our emotionally personal "default drives" and end up repeating the same mistakes without our knowing it. The result-same relationship issues even if we think we've picked a "different" person for sure this time!

This chat offers unconventional, solid research-based advice on questions such as:

1. How can I boost my intuition and trust myself more about choosing partners who are right for me?
2. Should I trust in "chemistry" with a person? What if there isn't any?
3. And what about sex? How soon? And what's wrong with following my feelings?
4. What should I really look for and ask about on dates-including cyber-dating?
5. What are true deal-breakers in a relationship? Religion? Race? Goals?
6. What if my parents don't like the person I've chosen?
7. What are my personal Angels and what will they do for me?

Dr. LeslieBeth (LB) Wish offers her surprising, lively and caring advice, based on her solid, long-term research for her next book on intimate relationships. She is a nationally esteemed psychotherapist and author, recognized for her work in trauma, work and love. She gained prominence as the Clinical Director of the New England Institute of Family Relations, the first Masters and Johnson-based sexual dysfunction clinic in New England.

"Psychic Gifts Written in Your Numbers"

In the language of Numerology, we find words like prophets, psychics, healers and mediums. Do certain numbers predispose you to being clairvoyant and others to being clairsentient?  What combination of certain numbers are the makings of a medical intuitive?  Can we gain insight as to how we receive messages from “above” by looking at our numbers? Everyone is psychic to some degree as your energy, which is defined by your numbers, speak of your talents and abilities and “yes’ even your psychic ability. The numbers clearly tell us what we are capable of.

Numerology also speaks about another kind of energy which influences our lives and that is the energy that creates our experiences. Some people are actually destined to connect to the world of the paranormal as that is what their soul sought in this lifetime. For them, it is a journey of spiritual discovery. For others, it is an opportunity to not only experience the world of metaphysics but also to teach and enlighten others. Is this “what we came to do?” Join Alison Baughman as she discusses psychic ability as seen through the numbers. After tonight's talk, Alison will provide an opportunity for Spirit Chat guests to ask questions, and will conclude this special evening with a session of mini numerology readings.

"Food and Feelings:  How to Make the Most of Each One"

It’s all too easy to deal with stress and internal distress by eating, but this behavioral pattern serves neither our appetites nor our emotional well-being.  Food is for fuel and pleasure and emotions are our guides to interacting effectively with the larger world.  Karen R. Koenig has been teaching compulsive, emotional and restrictive eaters how to eat “normally” and separate food from feelings for 30 years.  A recovered food-a-holic, she is an expert on the psychology of eating, an author of four books, a national speaker, and a cognitive-behavioral therapist with an international following. 

She is funny, warm and wise and draws on her decades of clinical experience, along with her own history of food misuse, to teach people how to acknowledge, identify and handle stress and distress without hitting the refrigerator. A graduate of Simmons College School of Social Work, she is a co-founder of the Greater Boston Collaborative for Body Image and Eating Disorders, sat on the Advisory Board of the Multi-Service Eating Disorders Association of Massachusetts, was the Assistant Director of the FACE Program (Focus Awareness on Chronic overEating), has taught “Quit Fighting with Food” workshops for three decades, and lectures across the country on transforming eating behavior.

Karen’s first book, THE RULES OF “NORMAL” EATING, which has been translated into Chinese and Romanian, sets out her cognitive-behavioral approach to resolving under-eating and over-eating problems.  Her second book, THE FOOD AND FEELINGS WORKBOOK, is a popular self-help guide to effective emotional management and healthy food regulation.  Her third book, WHAT EVERY THERAPIST NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT TREATING EATING AND WEIGHT ISSUES, covers a wide range of eating- and body-image related topics for the general therapist.  Her fourth book, NICE GIRLS FINISH FAT:  PUT YOURSELF FIRST AND CHANGE YOUR EATING FOREVER, is being translated into Portuguese and is the first book to address women’s connection between eating and being too nice.  She is working on another book which details the unconscious, underlying emotional conflicts that prevent people from losing weight and keeping it off.

Karen is frequently quoted in national magazine articles about food and weight, and is a popular radio show guest.  She writes weekly blogs at www.eatingdisordersblogs.com/, moderates two message boards at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/foodandfeelings and http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dietsurvivors.  Visit her websites at www.eatingnormal.com and www.nicegirlsfinishfat.com.  She lives in Sarasota, Florida where she has a thriving in-person and teletherapy practice.

"How a Belief in the Afterlife Affects One's Grief"

As they witness near death experiences, more and more medical doctors are becoming open to the possibility that our consciousness survives our physical deaths. In addition, a great many mental health professional are now integrating survival and afterlife concepts into their practices - realizing that a belief that a deceased loved one still survives is a very powerful tool in grief therapy. It is important for people to be exposed to as much of the evidence as possible. If they come to their own personal conclusion that there is life after death, it enables them to live productive and meaningful lives - lives that they may not have thought possible after losing a loved one.

Forever Family Foundation is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization that supports the premise that life does not end with physical death, furthers the understanding of Afterlife Science and survival of consciousness, and offers support to the bereaved. Among the active members of the organization and the executive board are scientists, researchers, medical doctors, educators and mediums who have devoted substantial parts of their careers to the investigation of the survival hypothesis - an existence beyond this physical world.

The organization was founded in 2004 and now has thousands of members not only in the U.S., but internationally. Among our services are an informational website: www.foreverfamilyfoundation.org, a free quarterly published newsletter entitled Signs of Life, a weekly radio show of the same name, afterlife discussion groups, medium certification program, the Sign Registry, and various special evets, lectures, and conferences. Membership in the organization is free of charge.

"Spirit in the Lab: What Can Science Tell Us about the Afterlife?"

The scientific study of mediums is over a century old.  At this time, we can conclude that certain mediums can report accurate and specific information about the deceased loved ones ("discarnates") of living people ("sitters") without any prior knowledge about the sitters or the discarnates, in the absence of any sensory feedback, and without using deception.  At the Windbridge Institute, we study mediums, their experiences, and the information they report.  We are ultimately interested in how mediumship may be beneficial in criminal investigations, hospice care, grief counseling, and other aspects of society and healthcare.

Julie Beischel, PhD, is the Co-Founder and Director of Research at The Windbridge Institute for Applied Research in Human Potential.  Her research interests center on the survival of consciousness hypothesis ("life after death") and include proof-focused studies on mediums' communication with discarnates and process-focused studies on mediums' experiences of that communication.  Dr. Beischel received her doctorate in Pharmacology and Toxicology with a minor in Microbiology and Immunology from the University of Arizona.  She was the first recipient of the William James Post-doctoral Fellowship in Mediumship and Survival Research at the University of Arizona where she served as Co-Director of the VERITAS Research Program with Dr. Gary Schwartz before moving the research and the screening and training of prospective research mediums to Windbridge in January of 2008.  More information about Dr. Beischel and the Windbridge Institute can be found at www.windbridge.org
