Shanta is joined today by a special guest Dr.Zoha Fazel, Sharing in first person below about Dr Z.who From a young age, spirituality, the mysteries of the subconscious, psychology, and love have captivated me. There was a time when I grappled with my own life’s purpose and questioning my own potential. Through deep dives into the subconscious mind, exploring spiritual teachings, and fostering a connection with a higher power, which I affectionately refer to as God, I found my inner light. With that came my life’s purpose and finding my soulmate, whom I have been married to for over 20 years. Today, her heart’s mission is to guide others to discover that same inner brilliance and purpose.We have an authentic talk about in what ways Dr. Z helps her clients.Connect with Dr Z.https://spiritguidedtherapy.com/meet-dr-zoha/https://gamma.app/docs/Unleash-Abundance-4-Week-Transformational-Class-gq8j4s5f5gsg1aiUnlocking the doorway to Love:https://www.amazon.com/Unlocking-Doorway-Love-Manifest-Soulmate-ebook/dp/B08MT168KSUnlocking your Inner Healing:https://www.amazon.com/Unlocking-Your-Inner-Healing-Reprogramming-ebook/dp/B0CCK8YLQR/ref=sr_1_2?crid=KBYBSWIOS8FQ&keywords=dr+zoha+fazel&qid=1705701576&s=books&sprefix=dr+zoha+fazel%2Cstripbooks%2C127&sr=1-2Abundance Planner and Journal:https://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Planner-Journal-Zoha-Fazel/dp/B0CJL9SGJ6Connect with the host:www.authentictalks2.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/authentictalks2.0withshanta/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/CoachShantaGenerally/Website:Authentictalks2.com***Extending an open invitation for you to come back again and again!

    Shanta has an authentic talk with Best Selling Author Brandy Gilmore about her new book,Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body, Brandy shares the key to unlocking these results, providing readers with profound clarity and understanding of self-healing that is mind-expanding and even "fills in the gaps" so that mind-body healing can make logical sense!Brandy shares a bit of her story of how she came to a place where research was an absolute must. The time and effort she put to research on pain led to ground breaking discoveries.Several others are already raving about Brandy’s work and have endorsed her book, including:** ~ Sharon Stone, Actor, Producer, and Artist “Having worked with Brandy, not only over the years but recently through COVID-19, I’ve been able to focus and release stored toxic energy and traumatic ideas. I highly recommend this work. It’s centering, balancing, healing, and, moreover, self-empowering.”  **~Jack Canfield, Co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul ® series & The Success Principles™: “I highly recommend this book. It is empowering and has the ability to transform the way the world sees health and healing.”**~ Anita Moorjani, New York Times Best-selling Author of Dying to Be Me, What if This is Heaven and Sensitive is the New Strong. “Brandy Gillmore provides a valuable perspective on the ability to promote healing, along with a wide range of tools and techniques for enhancing physical recovery through the mind-body connection. A must-read.”  **While Brandy now has the look of a striking model—, I mentioned this to Brandy off air that she was stunning!!! tall, athletic, vibrant, and smiling—it’s hard to imagine that she suffered from an accident that left her disabled and in excruciating pain. On many days, she was stuck in bed, not wanting to move or even breathe at times. She relied on a wheelchair, walker, and cane for mobility. When Brandy's doctors advised her that there was nothing they could do, she began desperately searching for a cure.At the time of her accident, Brandy’s career involved troubleshooting network outages for one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, solving complex issues. So, when she was stuck with no solution, she began to "troubleshoot" her health in search of a cure. But that was only the beginning…After Brandy healed herself in 2010, she didn’t want to just “talk” about her healing; she wanted to help others see proof that our minds really do possess the power to heal our bodies. In 2015, Brandy made that goal a reality. For the first time, she was able to demonstrate self-healing in real-time under thermal medical imaging. This remarkable feat captivated people's attention and propelled Brandy's work to new heights. Shortly after, she was invited to deliver a TEDx talk, marking a pivotal moment in her journey.Since then, Brandy has continued to demonstrate incredible healing results using medical thermal imaging. She also demonstrates these results on her award-winning podcast, Heal Yourself. Change Your Life and speaking engagements for medical professionals and general audiences. The Book is available on Amazon and where books are sold ********************************BRANDY GILMORE:Health Medical JournalTEDx TalkWebsite:  https://brandygillmore.com/https://brandygillmore.com/master-your-mind-book/*******************************Connect with the host:www.authentictalks2.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/authentictalks2.0withshanta/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/CoachShantaGenerally/Website:Authentictalks2.com***Extending an open invitation for you to come back again and again!
