Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick, author of my just released book in a trilogy that I was told I would write 20 years ago before that thought was a reality for me. A New Life Awaits Spiritual Guided Insights for Global Awakening shares new ways to perceive the challenges of 2020 and modern- day life and begin to self-investigate, manage our emotions, and live life as the spiritual beings we are in search of remembering hope and love. I am delighted to welcome John J. Murphy, author of Miracle Minded Manager who will share with listeners that we can be hurt by nothing but our thoughts and fears until we surrender the ego to a higher power.As listeners of Healing From Within have come to expect over the years, Sheryl and her esteemed guests share intimate experiences and insights into the true nature of human and spiritual life or metaphysical laws of creative or energetic life as we learn to recognize inner/ outer world influences can self-investigate and master emotions so we may better deal with stress and challenges. This inner work improves health, relationships, so we may explore the world with the least amount of fear and friction. This takes an understanding that we are more than our physical bodies and that energy of thought and action create much of what we are experiencing.In today’s episode of Healing From Within John J. Murphy who is a global business consultant spiritual mystic author and founder and CEO of Venture Management Consultant a graduate of University of Notre Dame and University of Michigan’s Human Resource Executive Program and a former quarterback for Notre Dame so we can see that it is clearly possible to function in all aspects of life business spirituality sports and continue to shine light on all matters that really matter.When John is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a personal event that may have signaled to them or others the goals, interests work and lifestyle that they would pursue in adulthood John tells us that like any human being growing up he was frequently anxious and stressed about one thing or another.
