Everyone has a bedtime routine. The question is: does it work for you and your family? With school, work, and outside activity schedules creeping into our family time, bedtime is the new dinner time. The time to connect, share, and peacefully make the transition to sleep. 

And sleep experts recommend that before you visit them for sleep problems, the first thing to put in place is a consistent bedtime routine.

I teach Registered Nurses to trash the scrubs and build a Home Based Legal Nurse Consulting Business. Nurses are BURNED out - it's time to take back our lives. 

National Nurse Consulting was launched in 2009 by Janice Dolnick in Chicago, Illinois. Prior to opening her business, Janice gained tremendous experience working as a travel nurse throughout the United States as well as in Haiti. After spending a majority of her career in a variety of geographical locations and medical settings, she decided to lend her experience in nursing to the legal community.

Janice's experience includes critical care nursing, emergency room nursing, home health, hospice, neonatal, pediatric, and geriatric care. This broad nursing background allows her to provide the legal community with experienced-based medical record review, analysis, and reporting that is not only extremely thorough but also quite affordable. Janice's 14 years of experience in the medical profession, along with her broad range of knowledge in medicine, makes her one of Southern California's leading experts in medical record review and consulting. 

After watching many nurses fail at launching and growing a Home Based LNC business, Janice developed an online course that trains Registered Nurses to become successful business consultants and take their life back!

Dear BBS Host:

Today, the evidence is everywhere that meditation improves health, mental acuity, emotional balance and spiritual connection. Leonard Perlmuttter is one of the Western world’s leading pioneers in the introduction of meditation into the cultural firmament, having founded the American Meditation Institute (AMI) in 1996. AMI’s courses are now approved and accredited by the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association.

Perlmutter, considered one of West’s foremost guides to understanding the nature of consciousness, now offers a heralded book that is an encyclopedic guide to meditation and the Yoga Science that lies behind it.

The Heart and Science of Yoga: The American Meditation Institute’s Empowering Self-Care Program for a Happy, Healthy, Joyful Life shows us the way to meld meditation and yoga into your busy life experience to bring a new level of peace, contentment and wellbeing.  

While most North Americans today perceive Yoga as a valuable source of exercise and quieting of the mind, The Heart and Science of Yoga shows that it is so much more. As it was evolved through ancient wisdom, Yoga Science is an eight-step method for managing the life force energy that propels us and connects us to the infinite power that is within and without us all. And the result of mastering it is the bliss and daily joy that lies in the realization of our connection.

This ultimate guidebook to meditation and Yoga Science explains not just what to do BUT WHY TO DO IT ---how our choices and actions energetically enhance or diminish our empowerment....influencing our ability to live well, peacefully and successfully.

One of the most fascinating revelations of Leonard Perlmutter’s The Heart and Science of Yoga, is that when you intentionally turn away from unhealthy temptations toward a better choice, it’s not a sacrifice or a denial. It is actually transforming your energy into greater potency, will power, physical vitality and unlimited creative potential.

Perlmutter’s comprehensive and practical manual, first published in 2005 to great acclaim, and now revised and expanded, connects the dots for those who seek answers and solutions for finding a better, happier life through meditation and Yoga Science. The Heart and Science of Yoga is a master class.

And meditation is the gateway.

In The Heart and Science of Yoga, you’ll discover:

How the Bridge of Yoga can always lead you to your highest and greatest good

The 8 different Yoga Science steps that prepare you to lead a life of daily bliss

The keys to AMI’s world renowned Meditation System

How stillness is the Divine Physician

Perlmutter’s great sense of humor and down-to-earth approach is appealing and approachable. Filled with anecdotes, parables, gentle loving encouragement and surprises, The Heart and Science of Yoga is both an eye-opener and a companion. It’s the ultimate ladder to achieving mastery over your inner and outer worlds—and living in a daily state of transcendence.

This 560-page easy-to-grasp guide provides everything you need to know to live the peaceful, contented, heart-driven Yoga Lifestyle in a modern world.

Forgiveness is often spoken of, attempted by many, occasionally understood. Nan Brown Self unlocks the secret to experiencing and practicing this fundamental key to walking in freedom from our past offenses in her newly released book Forgiveness: Making Space for Grace (Brown Books Publishing Group, March 2017).

Nan has a passion for applying the teachings of Scripture to everyday life and has taught on the subject of forgiveness for over thirty-five years. But it was her own exhaustion and load of emotional baggage carried far too long that brought her to the foot of the Cross. ³Why do you continually bring your burdens of unforgiveness but never leave them there,² she sensed the Lord saying. In seeking to answer His question, she found fresh perspective on one of the most fundamental teachings of Scripture and more importantly, experienced the grace of forgiveness that left her ³past² where it belonged ­ at the Cross with Jesus.

Lana Bateman, president and director of Philippian Ministries states, ³Nan Brown Self has given us a treasured gift in her book, Forgiveness: Making Space for Grace. She helps us understand how the grace of forgiveness brings peace and harmony to our souls. Open your heart now to God¹s amazing love as you learn to make space for the grace of forgiveness. It can set you free!²
 
Now everyone has the opportunity to truly understand and experience this same grace of forgiveness through Nan¹s latest work. Forgiveness: Making Space for Grace is profoundly practical. With biblical insight, Nan helps the reader identify the roots of unforgiveness, experience healing of old wounds, begin the journey of restoring relationships, and maintain their walk in peace and freedom. Each chapter concludes with practical questions, a worksheet, and a prayer, making it ideal for study groups or private devotionals. Drawing from her personal encounter with the grace of forgiveness and the immutable truth of God¹s Word, Nan charts the course to freedom from our past grievances and offers a prescription to maintaining that freedom on a daily basis.
³Forgiveness is the gift of grace from the heart of Jesus,² states Self. ³He carried your sins to the cross and bore the pain of those sins so that you might be pardoned from their binding power and consequences. Through His grace, you receive a release from sin that you have not earned or deserved. In order to receive this gift, you need to accept His forgiving grace.²

From the moment I picked up Nan Brown Self's book, Forgiveness: Making Space For Grace, something wonderful began to occur.  I became keenly aware of the power of forgiveness and how much God wants us to be free of the guilt and shame of the past. If you need to forgive someone, including yourself, this book offers real hope, help and healing!

If I said that there was a simple way to help heal the planet and ourselves, would you be interested? It’s Agnihotra, a process of purifying the atmosphere by specially prepared fire. It’s practiced by thousands of people all over the world, from all walks of life, and takes only a few minutes per day to do. Agnihotra can be learned by anyone, and is always taught free.

People from around the globe have improved their health, reduced stress, increased their energy, and gotten better results in organic gardening and farming through Agnihotra. Agnihotra has also been used successfully in psychotherapy and drug and alcohol de-addiction. Among other benefits to the environment, Agnihotra has been shown, in initial trials, to neutralize harmful radiation.

This process comes from ancient Vedic knowledge, which is being revived today to help heal and restore balance to Mother Earth and Her inhabitants.You heal the atmosphere and the healed atmosphere heals you. This is the central idea in Homa Therapy.

There are three inputs to Agnihotra:

--The materials burned in a small copper pyramid of specific shape and size

--The timing of exact sunrise and sunset

--A vibrational input in the form of two short Sanskrit mantras.

The combination of these inputs produces Agnihotra’s effects.

Dried cowdung, raw rice and ghee are the substances burned in the copper pyramid.

DISCUSSION TOPICS FOR A RADIO SHOW:

How Agnihotra Works

 --The effect of copper and the pyramid shape of the vessel

--Cow manure as a traditional healing substance which inhibits some forms of pathogenic bacteria, and its protective quality regarding harmful radiation.

--Ghee as a unique healing substance

--Healing energies present at sunrise

--Disequilibrium that occurs in nature at sunset ( example, “sundowning”) and how Agnihotra helps restore balance in nature.

--Agnihotra and the NADI system—how our breathing is connected to the phases of the moon; through Agnihotra, we attune ourselves to the powerful sunrise/sunset biorhythm.

--Vibrational effect of the Sanskrit mantras.

--How Agnihotra unburdens the mind, due to the connection between atmosphere, Prana and mind.

--Agnihotra ash medicines, which people prepare themselves, using Agnihotra ash. (The book Homa Therapy, the Ancient Science of Healing is available free online at www.homa-healing-center.com . PDF is available in German, English, Spanish, Russian and Czech.)

--Agnihotra’s protective properties experienced by families during the Bhopal Union Carbide chemical disaster in 1984

--Homa farming and gardening in India and Poland. Results in South America, which have been documented by agricultural engineers of the government of Peru.

--Agnihotra and radioactivity: Karin Heschl’s experience after Chernobyl, where her farm’s milk and fodder were found by inspectors to have normal radiation levels, as opposed to contaminated levels present in her neighbor’s farms. Experiment at University of Kiev, Ukraine, where radiation in rice from Fukushima dropped to normal levels after soaking in Agnihotra ash water.

--At Om Shree Dham Homa farm EMF Tri field meter readings were found to be abnormally low at a power transformer right next to their Homa hut.
