About Kim: 

Kim grew up as the youngest of seven in a spirited New York household where dinner conversations could venture into almost any topic. Her siblings—most with their own brand of sensitivity—dabbled in meditation, reincarnation, and various Eastern philosophies, unintentionally broadening Kim's world far beyond the boundaries of her strict Catholic upbringing.

It wasn't until Kim could no longer hide her gifts that she began to unlock "inside self," a box deep in her soul where she kept her secrets. That's when everything began to change.

After living in Manhattan through her 20's, Kim moved to Los Angeles during her 23 year TV career for an executive role in a production company. She was transferred back to New York two years later but eventually ended up settling on the west side of LA where she now lives with her family. She's spent time in almost all 50 US states and visited over 25 countries—each journey feeding her fascination with people, cultures, and the stories that live between worlds. Drawn to anything unordinary, Kim finds her greatest joy in exploring what lies just beyond the familiar.

Interview with author Taj Simrit, Behold My Soul

Taj Simrit is a Renaissance man. He can't claim to remember any of his past lives, though.
Every tidbit of wisdom he gained came from the depths of his ignorance, and every drop of humility spilled out of his tears and blood.

Ram Dass wrote: "The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light."
They should engrave this quote on his tombstone.

Then again, Taj Simrit would never want his body to be buried underground. He'd prefer his ashes to commingle with the stars and shine forever in the cosmos.

If his whole life has been about seeking happiness, he's also adopted loftier aspirations like contentment and peace.

"Heal yourself first before you envision healing others,." should ultimately be his motto.

If that sounds too ostentatious, you should truly read his first book.
You may catch glimpses of wisdom that would otherwise take you decades to grasp, as it was in his case.

Godspeed..…

I am currently touring around S.E Asia on my Royal Enfield.
Should you have any assignments requiring my services, in the fields of travel writing, public speaking, arranging retreats, or consulting, I am known to make quick arrangements.

To thank you for sharing my book on social media and spreading that wholesome message of love and forgiveness around, I will gift you a copy of my next novel coming out in 2027.

All you will have to do is ask for it. It will be the first series of a trilogy, and
promises to be an enthralling ride following the tribulations of my heroine (soon to be in a theatre near you).

Tonya Comer's story is one of rising—with grace, grit, and purpose.

From the projects of Pittsburgh, Tonya climbed into broadcast journalism, corporate America, and ultimately, entrepreneurship. She built an award-winning interior design firm and was named one of the Top 20 African American Interior Designers in the United States.

Behind the accolades and ambition was a woman shackled by shame and self-doubt. Her own self-sabotage led her to rock bottom. And it was there she found the path to transformation.

Through years of inner work to heal the wounds of abuse, bullying, poverty, and abandonment, she developed life tools that rebuilt her from the inside out—tools she now shares with women everywhere.

Her book In High Heels on a Ladder: The 7 Power Tools for

Designing Your Life is the winner of the 2024 Nautilus Gold Award

for Business & Leadership. As a transformational speaker and coach,

Tonya helps high-achieving women remove their masks, reclaim

their truth, and rise in authentic power—ready to lead, create

meaningful impact, and build their legacy.

Dr. Gokani graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Illinois with degrees in Economics & Biology. She later earned her medical degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she also completed her training in Neurology, was Chief Resident, and pursued additional post-doctoral training and certification as a Master Clinical Psychopharmacologist through the Neuroscience Education Institute. Her early bout with insomnia in medical school led her down a path of studying eastern forms of healing, specifically Ayurveda, for twenty-five years. She initially pursued formal training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. At that time she joined forces with another integrative practitioner and started an integrative wellness center. During this time she managed a team of practitioners ranging from massage therapists and nutritionists to acupuncturists and physical therapists. Dr. Gokani became certified in IV Nutritional Therapy and offered this therapy as a bridge for those struggling to restore energy, vitality, and reduce pain. At this time started practicing Transcendental Meditation in hopes to share this wisdom with her patients. During this contemplative time, she felt a draw to further study the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. Due to her early exposure and personal transformation with this science, she decided to become certified in Ayurveda. She thus completed certification as an Ayurvedic Wellness & Nutrition Counselor through Kerala Academy. She then later pursued additional advanced training in Ayurveda through the Maharishi Health Professional Ayurveda Practitioner Program in conjunction with Scripps Hospital. In addition to these certifications, she trained in Pranic Healing and Chakra analysis to further pursue the mind. Her passion for understanding the physical-mental-emotional-spiritual connection to health led her to delve deeper into NLP training.

Beatty Carmichael is a leading expert in spiritual laws and how they affect our health, emotions, and behaviors. After 25 years in business, he uncovered a radical truth: most pain, mental illness, sickness, and trauma aren't rooted in physical or emotional causes, but in the spiritual realm.

By identifying and removing the specific spiritual roots behind these struggles, he's helped over1,000 people find freedom from things like emotional wounds from relationship conflict, chronic pain, anxiety, addiction, suicidal thoughts, and even bipolar disorder—issues that medical science often can't resolve. Once the root is gone, the problem typically disappears in less than 24 hours—with a documented 90% success rate.

Beatty outlines this simple, step-by-step method in his book, The Prayer of Freedom, available at www.ThePrayerOfFreedomBook.com.

For over 40 years, Dr. Moore-Ede has been a leading expert on circadian clocks and the health problems including sleep disorders, fatigue, diabetes and cancer caused by light at night. As a professor at Harvard Medical School (1975 – 1998), he led the team that located the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the biological clock in the human brain that controls the timing of sleep and wake, pioneered research on how the human body can safely adapt to working around the clock, and wrote the best-selling book "The Clocks That Time Us"

In 1983 Dr Moore-Ede founded the global consulting and technology firm, CIRCADIAN® (www.circadian.com) which optimizes 24/7 workforce productivity, health and safety with a client base that now includes over half of the Fortune 500, from offices in Boston, London, Amsterdam, Brisbane and Osaka. Based on this experience, he wrote the global best-selling book "The Twenty-Four Hour Society: Understanding Human Limits in a World That Never Stops" that was published in six languages.

To address his clients' growing concerns about the harmful effects of conventional fluorescent and LED lighting on workplace health, safety and performance, Dr Moore-Ede founded the CIRCADIAN Light Research Center in 2010 which identified the key blue wavelengths that synchronize circadian clocks. He then spun off CIRCADIAN ZircLight in 2011 to develop evidence-based LED circadian lights that provide healthy blue-rich light during the day and blue-depleted safe light at night based on medical research and an IP portfolio. In 2022 the IP for evidence-based circadian lighting was acquired by Korrus, the leaders in human-light interaction.

Dr. Moore-Ede graduated with a First-Class Honors degree in Physiology from the University of London, and received his medical degrees from Guy's Hospital Medical School, and his Ph.D. in Physiology from Harvard University. He has published 10 books and more than 180 scientific papers on the physiology of the circadian system, interaction with environmental light and the consequences of circadian disruption including human fatigue, ill-health, errors and accidents. Dr. Moore-Ede holds multiple patents on assessing and mitigating circadian disruption and fatigue.

He has served on multiple national and international committees, and has received numerous awards including the Bowditch Lectureship of the American Physiological Society. He is a frequent guest on television (CNN, Today Show, Good Morning America, 20:20, Dateline, Oprah Winfrey, Nova, BBC), radio (NPR Fresh Air, Connection), and print media (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Time and Newsweek). He has testified before Congressional committees on multiple occasions, and advised government agencies on the health and safety of the 24/7 workforce in the US, Canada and Europe.

Born and raised in Germany, Norbert Heuser spent most of his professional life between his residence in Germany and Asia. Norbert had his own companies in Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Germany and in the USA.

Working with and among the Chinese for the past 35 years he had a deeper look into the culture and lifestyle than a regular Western person could possibly have. It is there he was introduced to Chinese Medicine.

Nowadays Norbert's HQ is in Germany and his co-office in the USA.

Over his lifetime Norbert met or came across many inspiring people who were willing to share their knowledge with him. For him, to keep being interested and to keep asking the right questions means always to keep learning.

At the age of 30 – because of an intense and critical health situation for himself – Norbert got in deep touch with alternative medicine which thereafter became his biggest passion throughout his life apart from arts in general and music in particular.  His book, "Coffee Addiction and Caffeinism, is available now.

Kimberly Meredith is a world-renowned Celebrity Medical Intuitive Psychic Medium, Global Speaker, Influencer, Holistic Practitioner, Hands-on Healer, Spiritual Teacher, and the best-selling  author of Awakening to the Fifth Dimension: Discovering the Soul's Path to Healing published by Macmillan (St. Martin's Essentials), Hay House UK, and personally narrated audiobook by Penguin Random House.

After two Near Death Experiences (NDEs), Kimberly experienced an incredible encounter with God and received miraculous healing gifts from the Holy Spirit. Blessed with a unique array of extraordinary healing and psychic abilities, Kimberly is one of the world's most gifted Medical Mediumship Healers and foremost global speakers.

Kimberly channels messages through her eyes' blinking codes as a tool of communication from God, Mother Mary, Ascended Masters, and Angels. She connects with those who have crossed over to bring messages to the living. Kimberly is often compared to Edgar Cayce, the Father of Holistic Medicine, a Medical Intuitive, and the most documented psychic of the 20th Century.

Through her healing mediumship and blinking eyes, Kimberly is directed by God to perform laying-on of hands. She can "scan" or see into the body faster and more accurately than the fastest MRI and thermography machines.

Kimberly has healed and helped many thousands of people, removing tumors, restoring hearing, curing cancer, correcting immobility, and completely healing people of many types of physical and emotional disease through the Holy Spirit. She leads miraculous worldwide healing events during which many are healed.

To better understand her abilities, Kimberly was invited to undergo testing with Dr. Norm C. Shealy, founder of the American Holistic Medical Association, and a neurosurgeon with over 45 years spent working with spiritual healers. The results were profound. Dr. Shealy's tests of Kimberly recorded her ability to heal even through walls. Dr. Shealy concluded that Kimberly appears to emit scalar energy, a unique type of energy associated with genius inventor Nikola Tesla. In 2017, Kimberly was selected by PsyTek Subtle Energy Laboratory and Research Facility to undergo ongoing tests to further understand the inner workings of her talents. In 2019, Kimberly was invited to be tested at the famed IONS Institute of Noetic Sciences, founded by Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell and headed by the eminent scientist Dr. Dean Radin. After participating in multiple double-blind scientific studies, Kimberly's healing abilities are beginning to reveal the convergence of God, Spirituality, and science.

In addition to hosting the syndicated radio hit, The Medical Intuitive Miracle Show on MindBodySpirit.fm and BBS Radio TV, ranked #1 and streaming worldwide on iHeartRadio, and Spotify. Many have been healed simply by listening to the sound of her voice on radio and YouTube.

Gerard Wouters bio as told in first person:

For 27 years I have been helping people in service professions who feel like they are never good enough and never get the appreciation they deserve. I help them regain their self-esteem, build their self-confidence and unlearn their fear and worry.

I do this by means of a holistic method that I developed myself in 1997 after a seven-year training with a Taoist teacher. This method distinguishes itself by a combined physical/mental treatment, which is still relatively unknown in the rest of the world, but has proven to be very successful for 26 years.

Here life processes are explained and one gains insight into what happens in his or her life, which unconsciously learned behavior is the cause of this and how you can easily solve this. It does not take any conscious effort to bring about this change, because this change takes place in the subconscious and is therefore automatically integrated into daily life. 97% of my clients are permanently freed from their complaints during the treatments.

This makes life much simpler, more organized and happier.
