    Lights Out with Kelly Cole

    Lights Out with Kelly Cole

    I welcome my radio sister and friend Kelly Cole on The Next Room. We met in the 80's while working at the Marconi award winning radio station KIFM, San Diego. Kelly's popularity and celebrity in San Diego is akin to Norm from the sitcom "Cheers." Wherever she goes, people know her name, and they shout it out just to grab her attention so they can spin in her orbit for a moment of two. She credits her love of music to her father who had a giant room with just a stereo and a chair so he could listen to his records. She said he really felt his music, and it inspired her.
    Kelly is no stranger to death and the lasting effects of deep grief. Her beloved husband Steve passed away unexpectedly when he was only 37 years old. His death left her alone to pick up the pieces of her shattered life as a young mother of a teenager. She feels that the music saved her during her darkest time. She also knows first hand how important it is to have your affairs in order after being the executor for her beloved Aunt Donna. And lastly Kelly shared a horrific recent event that both she and her granddaughter walked away from alive and well. Kelly gave heartfelt words about living in the moment and the awareness of never really knowing what could possibly be your last day on earth.

    From Math Teacher to Mystic meet Kelley Baeza

    From Math Teacher to Mystic meet Kelley Baeza

    On this show I introduce you to Kelley Baeza who wrote "From Math Teacher to Mystic." This mesmerizing and inspiring memoir describes many profound and unbelievable experiences that Kelley experiences, as well as her struggle as a high school mathematics teacher, to understand and to integrate the extraordinary phenomena. Months after abandoning a PhD dissertation and beginning an Ashtanga yoga practice in 2007, mystical and psychic phenomena began. With no religious or spiritual background to view the extraordinary experiences, Kelley was continuously wondering if she was making them up or going crazy. She embarked on a quest to learn about awakening and spirituality to try to understand what was happening as premonitions, out-of-body experiences, plant spirit communications, seeing and hearing Divine Masters and other spiritually transformative events occurred.
    In From Math Teacher to Mystic, Kelley shares numerous spiritual experiences including a premonition that resulted in her saving a drowning child, a spontaneous healing of chronic pain from an auto accident, accounts with thousands of dollars materializing, and being enveloped in the sensation of being loved and taken care of. Ultimately, the plethora of these experiences along with the wisdom gained from many trips to India, retreats, spiritual teachers, meditations and books, quieted her mind. Trust and faith developed in the Universal Intelligence guiding her and led her to the discovery of a life filled with inner peace, calm and contentedness even in challenging times.

    Beyond the Reiki Gateway with Andrea Kennedy

    Beyond the Reiki Gateway with Andrea Kennedy

    Today I welcome Andrea Kennedy to The Next Room. She considers herself a regular person, like most individuals—you might even call her mainstream. She started off 29 years ago as a total skeptic about Reiki. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, and continued to be intrigued with the world and how things work. Andrea decided after receiving Reiki the first time and hearing fascinating stories to take a Reiki class.
    Then while she was on a trip to Egypt in 1999, her next steps became clear. She returned home and completed her Reiki training through the Master level for the first time. Today, her greatest joy is to teach all of her Reiki classes Live and Online. She feels blessed to welcome students from all around the world who often find her through her popular Mainstream Reiki YouTube channel, and podcast. She is a delightful guest and after listening to the show she has me convinced that everyone on the planet would benefit from this Life Force Energy known as Reiki!

    There is Nothing to Fear with Jim McInnes

    There is Nothing to Fear with Jim McInnes

    In this show, I will introduce you to an old radio buddy and friend of mine Jim McInnes. Jim and I met in the 90's when we worked at the classic rock legendary radio station in San Diego the KGB. Jim McInnes is one of the most respected broadcasters in Southern California. As one may assume our friendship was based on music, radio, and mutual respect. What we did not realize all those decades ago is that we were also aligned in many other ways.
    During today's podcast Jimmy shares a fascinating story with me about his mother. His mother Jeanne was extremely spiritual and when he was just a young man she would often talk to him about the afterlife. She even told him she would be sure to visit him when her time eventually came when she died. Well, that day did arrive.
    Jeanne crossed over on December 8th, 1997 with Jimmy and his brother at her bedside. As promised she did indeed visit him. It was the following March while he and his wife Sandi were visiting his family heritage in Ireland. During her brief visitation, his mother appeared so lifelike, that Jim actually reached for her. She had an important life message for him. She told him to never, ever be afraid, especially of death and dying and that she would see him again one day. From the moment his mother visited him in a hotel room in Dublin on Jim felt an easy peaceful feeling wash over him about this life experience. From that day forward Jim stopped fearing anything and taking everything in stride

Excellent interview with Melissa Sparrow!

Good introduction to energy healing and the Akashic records. I’ve worked with Melissa in the Akasha, and had specific questions answered. We even spoke to a great granddad, who told me the story of a ring that I own!
