Be Present: The Diane Ray Show

Today we are going to explore the possibility of healing from diseases like cancer and how much power we really have to experience spontaneous remissions. It’s rare but it can happen. Spontaneous remission from cancer is documented in medical literature in only 12-24 cases a year. Medical science is amazing, and I am a big believer in supporting science and research to help cure disease. The fact that we can stop diseases like measles, polio, and others is a gift. I’m grateful there is a vaccine for Covid. But I also recognize that there is a lot more to learn and there are things that happen that can’t be explained. Joseph Selbie has written a book called The Physics of Miraculous Healing and he says that extraordinary, rapid, miraculous healing is possible. I want to find out more about this because I think there are things that we have to be open to while at the same time not fall prey to science denying.

Many of us are familiar with the five stages of grief outlined by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross- the Swiss psychiatrist and pioneer in near death studies. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. What you might not be familiar with is the 6th stage of grief which is meaning.

Change and transition are a big part of the human experience. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus is credited with the idea that the only constant in life is change. Only fragments of his writings remain, one in which he says: Everything changes and nothing remains still; and you cannot step twice into the same stream. Buddhism teaches that change is an inevitable part of life, and that nothing is permanent. And of course David Bowie said- Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes Turn and face the strange Ch-ch-changes Pretty soon now you're gonna get older Time may change me But I can't trace time. Today we are going to talk about change and loss- two topics that most people I know avoid. Dr. Katie Eastman is a licensed psychotherapist, life coach, and organizational change consultant who specializes in the transformation process of change, loss, grief, and growth. Change and loss are part of the human experience and Katie has written a beautiful book called Uplifted-Inspiring Stories of Loss, Change and Growth- that illustrates the principles of transformational change after loss. Katie's mission is to help others become stronger and more resilient while dealing with change. Connect with Dr. Katie Eastman Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I’m Diane Ray and if you came across this podcast you might remember me from Hay House Radio or Unity Online Radio, or maybe even one of the radio stations I worked at in Florida, Texas, and California. I have been doing this for a long time. When I decided to get into the podcast game and launch a show, I wasn’t sure what to call it. It seemed that all the good names were taken. I wanted people who were interested in the same things that I am to listen – topics like metaphysics, spirituality, God, is there a God? Paranormal phenomena, life after death, and people doing extraordinary things with their lives that could inspire others. I know it’s a diverse list. The more I stressed over a name for the show, I kept thinking of the advice of Louise Hay the founder of Hay House. She would say the point of power is in the present moment. So that’s what I took for inspiration. To try to Be Present with what is going on right now.
