Listen Now to this Free Winters Meditation: -   Enjoy a journey within to the source of light, an experience and reaffirmation of Love, and an opportunity to kindle compassion and joy and radiate peace and spirit to the world. Listen Now to this Free Winters Meditation:   A Beacon of Love and Peace Guided Imagery Meditation Script: Journey within Come to your senses, and notice to what degree you are seeing, hearing, feeling and thinking about things in the external world. As I count, relax and allow your senses to release any hold on the exterior, allow your awareness to come within. Find a place in your heart and mind in which you feel stable, calm, peaceful, and loving. Use whatever spiritual, psychological, energetic, and physical tools or technique to help you accomplish this. Experience yourself being visited by those you love and have loved, and those who love you and have loved you. Be aware of what a gift love is. Feel it kindling warmth in your heart. • Imagine as clearly and lovingly as you can, your connections to the rest of humanity, to the world of nature and the land, and to whatever spiritual forces and images of sacredness are meaningful to you. Feel those connections enhance your presence by enabling you to be part of a larger wholeness, one graced with compassion, love and an intelligent, wise awareness. • Hold your sense of yourself within that enhanced presence and feel its energy go out to your immediate environment, connecting in loving ways with the specific world around you. Imagine you are overflowing with this energy, that it radiates from you like a beautiful golden light, spreading out to all around you. Feel yourself respecting and honoring the light of those around you. And if you wish, imagine it spreads out from you and from your kindred spirits and loved ones, that it flows out to the community, and even planetwide, drawing together in peaceful collaboration, people who have been split apart by differences of race, politics, ethnicity, religion, geography. As you feel and see them, hold them in the grace of a loving, peaceful spirit, and imagine they discover peaceful ways to communicate with each other. And if there’s a specific area of conflict you wish to direct this energy towards, visualize that conflict dissolving into peace and agape – true love. Now, as you gradually return your senses and awareness to the world around you, imagine that your very being radiates light, like a lighthouse, a beacon of stability, peace, calm, forgiveness, love, and compassion. Imagine waves of light and love spreading out and joining with the waves of other, similar, lighthouses – other people working to express peace, compassion and love in their lives. And as these waves connect, they are weaving a web of light that is spreading all around, empowering all of us, everywhere.

Recent research in the field of depression has been truly fascinating of late (especially to those of us who need to decide if or when to utilize antidepressant medications). Dr Kirsch, professor emeritus at the University of Connecticut has conducted a meta-analysis that suggests strongly that, as Dr. Kirsch states, "Antidepressants at best have a small and clinically insignificant effect for mild, moderate and even severe depression." The drugs "may be slightly more effective than placebo for people with very severe depression, at the far end of the scale," Kirsch adds, "but even that small difference may be a placebo effect." Listen Now: Dr. Miller's experience, based on careful selection and observational criteria, is that in certain cases antidepressants can have significant and even lifesaving effects when used in conjunction with cognitive behavioral and stress management techniques. Research has also revealed depression to: cost US businesses more than $51 billion per year due to absenteeism, be at the root of a great number of physical illnesses, produce an enormous amount of human suffering – even heart attacks. What’s more, the Archives of General Psychiatry reports that Antidepressant use among pregnant women is linked to autism in their children.   We also know that there are effective tools – self-applied techniques of meditation, cognitive restructuring, and guided imagery – that can enable a person to heal that depression and all its symptoms. Depression is dangerous – not only to your physical health,  but to your energy and creativity as well as your relationships and your very soul. It must be treated quickly, or even more damage will occur. This is because depression produces and is produced by damage to the membranes of the neurons of certain parts of your brain. The Audio program Escape From Depression can help you confront the attitude, emotion, and thought patterns responsible for the stress and the damage. The tools it offers help empower you to change your mind and change your life. Through deep relaxation, focused concentration, and guided imagery you can use the power of your mind and your brain to guide the cells of your body back to health and on to high-level wellness and success.

Author of The Watchman's Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction Rebecca Costa is a sociobiologist who offers a genetic explanation for current events, emerging trends and individual behavior. A thought-leader and provocative new voice in the mold of Thomas Friedman, Malcolm Gladwell and Jared Diamond, Costa examines “the big picture”– tracing everything from terrorism, crime on Wall Street, epidemic obesity and upheaval in the Middle East to evolutionary forces. Retiring at the zenith of her career in Silicon Valley, Costa spent six years researching and writing The Watchman’s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction. In her book, Costa explains how the principles governing evolution cause and provide a solution for global gridlock. When asked why the book has special significance today, Costa claims, “Every person I know, rich or poor, educated or not, wants to know why our government gets more in debt, our air and water more polluted, our jails more crowded, our security more tenuous and our children more violent. We seem to have lost our ability to solve our problems. The Watchman’s Rattle offers a genetic explanation for our paralysis, and prescribes a way out.” Listen Now: The success of Costa’s first book led to a weekly radio program in 2010 called Rattler Radio. In 2011 the program was renamed and syndicated as The Costa Report. The Costa Report is currently one of the fastest growing radio programs on the Central Coast of California. A former CEO and founder of one of the largest marketing firms in Silicon Valley (sold in 1997 to J. Walter Thompson), Costa developed an extensive track record of introducing new technologies. Her clients included industry giants such as Hewlett-Packard, Apple Computer, Oracle Corporation, Seibel Systems, 3M, Amdahl, and General Electric Corporation. Costa is known for marketing the world’s first computer-aided design and manufacturing systems (CAD/CAM), computer networking, and first multi-media microprocessors. She also pioneered the early markets for optical disks, internet-based marketing, electronic engineering records retrieval, wireless keyboards, digital scanners, just-in time inventory software and a host of other innovations in use around the world today. Raised in Tokyo, Japan, Costa lived during the Vietnam conflict in Vientiane, Laos, where her father worked in covert CIA operations. She attributes her ability to see the “big picture” to her cross-cultural education and upbringing. She graduated from The University of California at Santa Barbara with a Bachelors Degree in Social Sciences. Rebecca Costa lives on the central coast of California with her beloved dog, Tonka.

About Healing Times Radio: Conversations with Extraordinary People Welcome to Healing Times Radio. Since being a part of the launching of the holistic approach to healing and the field of Holistic Medicine 40 years ago it has been Dr. Miller's passion to seek out other thought leaders – the movers and shapers who could see the disaster looming for our world and were setting about crafting the tools that would help transform the world. Those few who, like Dr. Miller, were in the medical and psychological field could see the enormous waste in our health care system, the crisis it was leading to. The tools they developed – guided imagery, mindfulness, meditation, wellness, nutritional medicine, and physical exercise physiology – are now transforming mainstream medicine.
