“Michel Pascal creates the first Spiritual Immersive Experience.” – LA Entertainment Weekly

“Why a Spiritual Immersive Musical?

I wanted to combine the spectacular immersive experience like Van Gogh with the emotion of a live spiritual musical.
After the success of the world Premiere of Yoganandance Musical at Millennium Biltmore Hotel, I realize how people wanted to feel the Presence of Yogananda. More than ever, we need to feel the Divine Energy, specially in our world today.
The audience will be in the middle of the 360 Immersive projections!!” – Michel Pascal
WOW!
Let’s go 2023!

ININ & Empath Haven Effect with G. Beverly Bergmann, Embrace Your Neurostyle and Beyond

Happy New Year!

It is a time of reflection for us to start our year and continue our own unique ININ, “In Integrity” of the highest level of awareness and self love to reach our unique mind, body & soul wellness.

Easier said than done.

How do we stay on track?

G. Beverly Bergmann joins the discussion with a deep dive on the Integrity Balance of our Linears (chores, mundane tasks)  and Nonlinears (dreams,  visions, intuitive hits) which includes vulnerable shares about her unique neurostyle.

The “Empath Haven Effect” is defined with tangible examples of the importance of mindful pauses and time outs that refresh us and reduce stress to enjoy our life and accomplish our goals.

Tune IN:

L I N E A R

Lists, papers, tablets, laptops, guidelines, timelines, “line-lines,” each one in its own right a practical method for creating a clear path to personal organization and productivity with the end-result in crossing out or deleting “lines.”

Integrity is integral in addressing the linear and establishing a bases that stimulates balance. The simple action of moving forward with each task is quite satisfying especially when you can see those tasks completed in the physical form, which also may be the mental filing cabinet, transparent yet solid in belief.

Satisfaction, after all, is Nebulous yet decided felt.

Is LINEAR always a straight line? Definitely Not. It is action-oriented, multifaceted, multidirectional, moving and functioning in many layers, sometimes simultaneously.

It is the discipline of honoring yourself with an Earnest desire to complete, and get out of the way, tasks that are humdrum, yet are required to keep us on a path of straightness to Achieve harmony and balance in the reality of day-to-day existence. Really!

Satisfaction, relief, joy, and the Reward of personal accomplishment is an end-result that is further recognized within our consciousness that feeds and nurtures Positivity. It might even be Healing. I know it is for me!

Meet Emily at Best, Musician, Writer, Visual Artist: Creative Minds Series

“Music has always been my way of healing.” -Emily at Best

Emily takes us on her ascension journey describing the lyrics that dropped into her awareness at a time in her childhood that allowed her to express her true feelings to her parents months before her father had a fatal car accident.

She authentically shares her intuitive path, her vulnerabilities and her CREATIVE WHY that was ignited at age 10.

Join us for exciting news and deep discussions right here:

 

Emily at Best is a multi-faceted songwriter, musician, producer, engineer, and visual
artist hailing from Los Angeles, CA. Her name is derived from her desire to emphasize
how we are all beautiful works in progress, until the day we die. At our best and our
worst, we are ourselves. Having become familiar with loss at a young age, music has
always been an outlet of healing for Emily. Her intention in releasing music is to use
her unique voice and honest vulnerability to guide others through their own healing.
This world can be a difficult place, but what a special experience it is to be in it
together.

Emily started writing music at age 10 as a way to make sense of the world around her.
When she asked for a microphone for her 11th birthday, her parents expected her to
use it for karaoke- instead, she sang her original songs, communicating deep emotions
that both moved and surprised those who listened. She continued writing and
performing music throughout high school, playing venues such as The Mint and Bar 20
on Sunset. After graduating high school, Emily went on to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston. She is currently finishing up her senior year as a major in Contemporary Writing and Production with a minor in Music Technology.

The Karma Factor By Thomas Lane

Captivating Thriller Pierces the Genre with a Cascade of Unworldly Events Surrounding an NYPD Cop and His Serial Killer Target, Revealing the Mysteries of Human Existence Through an Extraordinary Twist of Fate

Forced to Straddle Alternative Realities, a Blue Collar Cop Must Evolve Beyond His Badge, Overcoming His Own Dark Past in Gripping Modern Fable

LOS ANGELES, CA NOVEMBER 1, 2022 – Author, poet and musician Thomas Lane debuts his first novel, The Karma Factor, a work of visionary fiction exploring the boundaries of human consciousness against the backdrop of a classic suspense thriller. With a purpose that transcends the genre, Lane expertly weaves the novel’s wider message in a ground-breaking, white-knuckle ride between worlds, as characters set out to make karmic amendments, right wrongs and re-establish the power of choice.

Haunted by a nameless guilt, tired of running from his demons, NYPD detective James Early decides to end his life. Taunting an armed suspect into blind fury, he makes himself an easy target. But the bullets fired at
point blank range are mysteriously diverted. There is no

blood and no wounds. Instead of the end, Early finds himself, miraculously, at the beginning of a long and arduous quest to solve the riddle of the missing bullets and the search for meaning: “If I’ve been given some kind of reprieve…what in God’s name am I supposed to do with it?”

The Karma Factor flips the good-versus-evil theme on
its side as it traverses the ages, interlacing past lives
with present, on a hero’s quest for redemption. Lane
juxtaposes veteran city detectives and an elusive serial
killer with a visionary monk sequestered in an
abandoned monastery in the Tibetan Himalayas. When protagonist Early sets out to uncover the mysterious force that saved his life, he discovers that, in his previous lifetime, he had been part of a secret mission. Led by a Tibetan sage, a team of advanced thinkers had gained access to the Akashic Records, a repository of every soul’s thoughts, deeds and actions through time. Their goal? To use these records to locate key individuals’ unhandled karma in the past––and help those souls be accountable for their misdeeds. The mission’s ultimate challenge would be to restore an awareness of possibilities, unburdened by the past, to a world engulfed by denial and fear.

Lane adds a unique perspective to the genre: “I see the world as a place of grit and suffering and magic. I wanted to capture those contrasting elements, show them as parts of a whole when viewed through a lens that is vast and kind and timeless. Although the story revolves around a cop and a serial killer, the book is fundamentally about hope––a hope that understands both bullets and prayers, and the path that goes beyond.”

Chaos 2 Cured with Kirk Patrick Miller, Embrace Your Neurostyle Series

It is such an honor to have Kirk as a guest to hear about his new podcast and his gratitude for his journey from chaos to cured.

Are you ready to be inspired and walk away with some mental health hacks, tips, tools and more?

Listen here:

Kirk Patrick Miller is an award nominated author and violinist. Suffering with bipolar one, ADHD, OCD, and generalized anxiety, his life was upended when he refused to give in to the diagnoses he was labeled with. After becoming the first medically documented case of full remission from bipolar, due to his unique endocrine treatment method he was asked to write his memoir, “Chaos to Cured.”
Now, ten years after writing his memoir he stands as a testament to hope and perseverance. Stable and successful, Mr. Miller runs a music institute, is a professional painter, author, speaker, and radio personality.
His desire to help others find hope comes from being granted a second chance he believes everyone deserves. First and foremost he stands against shame and judgment of any kind.
Mr. Miller believes that each and every individual can attain their potential with work, faith in themselves, and the understanding that what is often seen as a weakness is actually our greatest source of power. He stands firm in his belief that the key to living a fulfilling life is in accepting and loving the person we are, all while turning our hardships into wisdom, love, and compassion for all.
