Sharon Ann Wikoff
The “Voice of Change” is very conscious of world happenings and the cycles of life. Thus, we adjust our programming accordingly. This is a most unique time in our history. As a planet we are now aligning with the constellation of Aquarius. This constellation is emitting very strong energies of LIGHT & LOVE toward Earth and revealing all that has been hidden for SO long! All that has been hidden is being revealed. This is the reason for the chaos, showing up in many ways! And yet, let us have faith that these are the pains of a planet & species being Rebirthed! The opportunities are many, as are the challenges. Join me on a journey into loving…truth, joy and peace, even in the midst of great change and challenge.

Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today is the ending program is this current series, "What Makes Healing Possible?" The conversation today will be centered around the use of movement and visualization by use of the mind for health, healing and well-being. Although many teachings touch on the power of visualization and movement, it is the Teaching and Practice of QI GONG that brings all 4 of these together in one practice: VISUALIZATION, MOVEMENT, SOUND OR VIBRATION AND BREATH. It has been discovered through the centuries by the Masters of Qi Gong, when you bring all of these aspects together, the results are even greater! Why, you might ask? What I've learned is that health is improved and healing is made possible as the channels of the body are opened and the Qi is able to flow easily. All of these practices work together for greater health, healing and well-being. I am a Certified Group Practice Leader with www.SpringForestQiGong.com I feel that this organization founded by Master Chunyi Lin is excellent for learning Qi Gong and being able to improve one's health.

Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for this program today. Seeing that we can breathe on a regular basis we come to accept it as normal and most do not think much about this process. And yet the breath is a very powerful aspect of our human body. When you breathe you are sending very vital energy to your nervous system which is one of the most important systems in your body. Long, slow and deep breaths allow more energy to be taken in and given to the organs. The slower you breathe, the better. In addition, you can actually use the breath to send healing energy to any part of your body. There is great power in the breath. Tune in for this program today and learn more`
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here again for another segment to this series of talks on, "What Makes Healing Possible"? Today I'll be talking about the Power found in Sound and the spoken word. As I was preparing for this program, I was astonished to find that after chanting a series of Taoist Sounds from the ancient practice of Qi Gong, and specifically those Master Lin speaks about and teaches in Spring Forest Qi Gong, my singing voice was very much changed for the better. What does the voice as well as other sounds have in common? Do you know? Tune in for this discussion tomorrow. This is a vast field and yet you can begin using such wisdom TODAY for health, healing and well-being.
Hello Everyone! Welcome to the Voice of Change. Have you ever wondered what makes healing possible? Over the last 2 weeks I've shared much about the amazing Teaching of Qi Gong. With its 4,000 + year old history, it has gained a power and momentum that is truly extra-ordinary. Today, I'll speak about the power of a Master. In the field of Qi Gong, it appears that the title of "Master" is usually given to someone who has achieved a level of excellence in the field. And it is usually bestowed on someone who already has excellence in the field. So, it's Excellence recognizing Excellence. There is a gift that is often passed on when one is in the presence of a Master. The light that they carry is automatically passed on to you in varying degrees. What a gift that is. Before I knew this, I wondered why some of my friends would just go to be with their Teacher. And it was because of this. Also, if you are able to connect in a personal way with your Master, the benefits are even greater. Tune in for this discussion today.
Welcome All to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here to share with you more about what makes healing possible. Today I'll be talking about the attributes of YOU that makes healing possible. Sri Aurobindo, in his Teachings talked about this often. I invite YOU to reflect on what qualities you have that make you you... as well as the qualities that make healing possible. A few of the qualities I'll be discussing are: The Power of Choice, Change, Courage and Cheerfulness! Tune in for this program on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12th at 12:30 PT.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Have you ever thought of what actually makes healing possible? Why do some people heal easily and others not so much? Although this has been a question in my mind for decades, I never understood the process until I began studying Qi Gong, especially Spring Forest Qi Gong and the Teachings of Master Chunyi Lin. This study has led me to understand more and more about the possibilities of healing naturally with Qi Gong. Today, I'll share what I have learned about Qi Gong, the history of this ancient practice and the power that I've found in doing the practice. This is a vast field of study and I have much to learn. However, my experience has been so profound, I feel compelled to share what I do know about it. In today's world, I feel it is so important for people to know that such options are available for health, healing and well-being. I will share what I do know and offer some resources for exploration.
Welcome all to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. In our very busy world, I want to take time out to talk about YOU! Are you really taking care of yourself? Are you enjoying life and all it's offerings? Are you Awake to the possibilities within your self and your life? And are you aware of what isn't supporting you in life to be your best! Take time for YOU! Take time for FUN! Take time for JOY! Take time ouf for Contentment! Walking in Nature is deeply beneficial. Give yourself the gift of time with YOU!
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for this program. What do you think is the ONE thing that you can easily do on a regular basis with a child, that can make a huge difference in the way he or she is in the world? Some might say any of the following: READING! PRAYING! SINGING! TALKING! TRIPS! I could write SO much on this topic, however, this time around, I'm going to let you ponder the topic. Tomorrow we'll discuss! Have fun reflecting on this very important topic! I've actually seen this ONE ACTIVITY, change the behavior of a child in less than 10 minutes numerous times! These children have been my own and others in school or day camp settings. This one activity can change their attitude, stop their stealing, stop their bullying, shift their shyness and more. Hope you'll tune in tomorrow for this conversation.
Today's program is centered around the real needs of children from birth to 18 and even beyone. I invite you to reflect on this question and think of what it is you offer children, as parents or teachers, that is truly beneficial. I invite YOU to come up with your top 5. Through the years I've seen that I have been able to realize a few basic "principles for parenting/ teaching" and they easily applly to ALL AGES! Thus, when a challenge arises one doesn't need to recreate the wheel so to speak, but go back to the same basic principles and apply them to the new situation. During the program I will share my thoughts with you as well as insights from Deepak Chopra who also has written on this subject of the needs of children.
Today I'll be talking about the Art of Listening to Infants and Young Children. Decades ago I was introduced to the amazing work of Dr. Emmi Pikler and Magda Gerber, both pioneers in the fielf of deeply listening to infants and young children and hearing about their feelings, thoughts and ideas. Although I had been around children are years, I learned so much for both of these ladies and their work. Today, I'll be talking about listening to the infant, through their movements, body language and sounds. When you learn to listen with your heart, you can even sense more of what they are attempting to communicate. Join the conversation. Feel free to connect with me at www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
The POWERS within you are many and varied. What do you think your greatest POWERS are? I was going to name many of them here, however, I think it will be even more powerful if I give you the opportunity to ponder on this question before the program. When we really recognize the POWERS within and begin to consciously cultivate them, they become even more powerful. And they are instrumental if you want to heal on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level. Join the conversation.
Hello Everyone! And welcome to The Voice of Change here on Blog Talk Radio. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. How would you like to RENEW??? Renew Your Work! Renew Your Home! Renew Your Health? Renew Your Attitude? Renew Your Abilities? Renew Your Performance? In other words RENEW YOUR LIFE? Recently, I had a very disappointing happening and ended up having ONE WEEK to myself, without the visitors I had expected! At first I was in shock, that our planned vacation wasn't going to happen! Then I let my body "guide" me! I ended up going on a sort of "Artist Date" as Julia Cameron would say. I let myself go! My body guided me to a local community and a store I enjoy. I just started walking around with no expectations at all! and then I saw myself uplifted by redoing my home, then my wardrobe, then my work and then my radio show. It just unfolded. Now that I'm on the other side, or at least a few weeks into this RENEWAL, I'm observing how inspiring it has been. i invite you to join me for this program, if you are interested in being RENEWED in any little or big way.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change! I'm Sharon Ann Wikkoff and I'm delighted to be returning here to bring you regular programming on The Art of Living Life and the vast subjects that covers! My website is actually called "The Art of Living Life". And I believe it is an ART!!! Life is Messy at times, and I do believe that when we realize that living is an "art", it is then that we can learn to create a Master piece!!! Today, I'll be doing an overview of what I believe it means to say, "THE ART OF LIVING LIFE" and I'll share some principles that I believe are most important to living life the best we can and how to THRIVE. In addition, I'll share about The Art of Parenting and the importance of Listening to Children, one of my favorite subjects. And then, I'll end the broadcast by sharing one way in which to bring GREAT JOY to living and that is through music! If you are struggling in life, tune in for a tune up....and some inspiring ways of living artfully in life!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and pleased to be with you today. Yes, YOU are the Creator... the Designer of YOUR LIFE! What are you designing today? What are you creating? We always have a choice as to what and how we want to design our life. And yet if we do nothing, one's life can be taken over by Chance not Choice! As you know thoughts create. Thus, your thoughts of today, design your life of tomorrow. If you want to discuss this subject or previous topics on the Voice of Change, please contact me and I'll send you the information as to how to join our informal group sessions weekly about these timely topics. You are an important part of Planet Earth today. What you do or do not do matters. We each have a role to play. Sometimes the path ahead is an easy one, and sometimes not. Either way you make a difference., www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delight to be here for this program. Today the focus is on being your Best Self. Hopefully during this 21 Day Challenge, now coming to an end on Monday, you are in a place of truly honoring yourself, knowing yourself, loving yourself, conquering yourself and expressing the Real You in greater and greater ways, day by day, moment by moment! What have you learned about yourself? What do you have a new appreciation for? What are the areas that you want to "conquer" within your system? And how do you want to express yourself going forward. Today will be the last show in this series. I invite you to create your own Personal Declaration Statement about how you want to be moving forward. What are you dedicated to? Or what is your focus/ purpose at this time in your time? How do you want to show up in the world? What qualities do you want to exhibit? And what Fields do you want to live in? How are you going to BLOOM, right where you are now planted? I invite you to take tomorrow, Day 21 of the 21 Day Challenge to Radical Self-Love to truly Celebrate YOU and begin in a new way to BLOOM fully right where you are planted!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and here for Day 19 of 21 days to Radical Self Love! I hope this has been a wonderful journey for you! Life is such a journey in itself. Then when you add a challenge such as this one, even more can be revealed. Today I want to focus on the Field of Emotions. As we live our daily life, so many emotions can reveal themselves...if we have the ability to recognize them. In today's world I'm observing that much more attention is paid to the emotions of sadness, anger, anxiety, fear and depression than the positive emotions of contentment, peace, happiness and joy. Finding a balance is essential. On the journey to having radical self-love, no doubt many emotions have arisen. If you allow yourself to dwell on negative emotions, they can take you into even deeper states of negative emotions, resulting in acting out in negative ways toward yourself or toward others. It's important to feel your emotions, but to be able to easily return to the FIELDS of positive emotions. Are you remembering to stay in the Fields of LOVE, PEACE, CONTENTMENT AND JOY most of the time. Also, remember that no one can make you feel a certain way. Your emotions are your choice. A huge part of radical self-love is learning to live in the fields that support your health and success. join the conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and excited to bring you this next program on 21 Days to Radical Self- Love. This is Day 11 of this journey....so we are at the half way point. Are you finding a new voice? a new direction? clarity on how you love and support your highest and best YOU or seeing ways you sabotage your journey? Join me for this conversation.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this programming. Today's conversation will be about how the Setting of an Intention can be supportive in life. Setting Intentions for our life in one or many "fields" can truly tell the Universe what you are up to and create a new experience. Another similar idea is living in various "Fields". What would it be like if you were to live in the Field of Love, or Field of Joy or Field of Contentment? How would these ideas support you in moving into Radical Self-Love?
Welcome all to the Voice of Change and the 21 Day Challenge to Radical Self-Love. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this programming. This program is about speaking and living YOUR Truth. What is TRUE for you? What is important to you? It is essential to deeply know your self...and live your Truth if you truly want Self-Love. Many years ago, the common thing for a women to be was a secretary. I was preparing for such a career. And yet, my true love was children. Finally, I realized that I wanted to be a TEACHER so much. It was very very difficult to tell my father this Truth. And I did! And I've never regretted doing so a day in my life. What is true for YOU? What do you want to do today, more than anything else? Are you being honest with your self in this moment? Are you living your truth? Tune is for this conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today the conversation will focus on the Gift of Inner and Outer Silence. As we take steps to create time to go into the Silence within, we are able to become more stabilized and established in what resonates with us and what does not. Doing this in the Field of Outer Silence greatly enhances the Inner Silence. Find a place in nature, or your home where it is quiet. Establish a daily practice if possible to go into the silence on a regular basis. I've heard for some, that the place for their outer quietness is in their car. As you take time to listen, you can hear what is wanting to come through. Our Inner Voice...Our Guidance is not loud. Thus, one must take the time in the silence to hear! This connection is key in finding your Truth and feeling good about who YOU are. Join the conversation. Call in! Connect with me through my website: www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this programming. For over the last year I've shared on this platform how we are all being called to live life FULLY and not to hold back from what you are being called to do! These 21 days will be about supporting you in truly going for the GOLD! This Field of Self-Love takes us into many fields to explore. Today, I will share the importance of Non-Action. This idea has ancient beginnings and is spoken about in the Bhagavad Gita. Today, we are being called to use great wisdom in the process of living. This is what I refer to as the Art of Living Life. At times, we are called to restrain from action and not engage. This is an aspect of self-love. In life today, we are being asked to "hold" so much. Many are able to do this. Many are not. More than ever before I believe we must give people space to be. I've noticed that at times people are driving cars today in a very chaotic manner. They are going at speeds way beyond the speed limit, weaving in and out of lanes and darting in front of others in a very dangerous manner. There is nothing we can do to stop this, however, we can be proactive and not engage in the problem. This is one way of being in NON-ACTION. We will never know the problems we may avoid just by doing nothing. This is a form of Self-Love. How do YOU love your self? How do you engage in non-action? Join the conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change! I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. The ART of Living Life is so important in today's world. So much is shifting in the outer world as well as with our own systems. What are you noticing? What are you experiencing? There is an ever-increasing LIGHT coming to the planet, which is the basis of the changes we are experiencing. When this light shifts life here on Planet Earth, we must stay intune with the present moment and adjust to what is arising. I've found there are some basic principles to follow in order for us to better stay in the present moment. And when we do this, often times, just what we need is in front of us. How do you stay present to this NOW moment? What have you learned in the process. Being present to every now, is an opportunity to heal your body, shift the relationships in our life and have deeper connections, understand any emotions that may be arising as well as learning new ways to life today with Presence, Peace and Possibility!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. There is a joke about the idea of having a "manual" about life when we come to Planet Earth. Have you heard that? What if there was a sort of Manual about Life on Planet Earth. Since childhood I've sought to understand how life works. And I do believe that understanding Universal Law is of great benefit to all of us. I was introduced to these Laws by Sat Shree some years ago. Thich Nhat Hanh, in his book, "For A Future To Be Possible," writes on the Five Mindfulness trainings, which he feels are essential. Tune in! Join the conversation. As we each take time to reflect on the deepest Truths we want to live in our life, the planet will be deeply enriched. I also blog on these topics. Feel free to visit my Blog on this subject at www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this programming. Today, I'm going to do a Part II on Self Care, or the Care of Self. This program that I offered a couple of months ago has had many listens, so I thought I'd offer another one on the topic. . In addition, I was in a workshop on the topic recently, and I'll share some on that also. Today, what I wanted to bring into the conversation, is the importance of being present daily, and seeing what you need to do in THIS moment for Self Care. Recently, I had several things arise in a variety of areas and just realized that I needed to give myself a quiet, relaxing time to take in the shift. I took a few days to just do nothing! It was very refreshing, revealing and renewing! For me, it's like a variety of "things" are in the air, and I can't make them "settle" with my mind, I need to give them time to come down and land. I'm noticing the Universe can do a much better job of this and "me" trying to fit it all in place. Do you recall the old saying: "SLEEP ON IT"? I feel this is so true. If we give our self time and space, clarity will arise. Call in! Join the conversation!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. As I have been reflecting on these times of transition and transformation and ALL that is going on around the world as well as in our own communities...and personal lives, I came down to just one question for myself, as I was thinking about my next step with this radio program, my blogging as well as the offerings / programs I share. And that question is: WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO BRING FORWARD IN THIS MOMENT? WHAT WOULD MAKE THE GREATEST DIFFERENCE ON THE PLANET? And what came forth for me were a series of truths, that I could deeply stand for and share. And so this program will be about those Truths. And one of those Truths, is that each of us must find our very own Truths. What rings true for YOU, for ME? And I feel that is order to do this, we must come from a place of deep INNER PEACE. That is why "Finding Inner Peace" is the title for today, because it all begins there. Please join me for this program. For me, this time of year, is like a New Beginning. This time of year has always been very important to me, since I was an Elementary Teacher for years. September, in those days was the time for us to begin school. However, school now begins in August, so this program is my so called, "kind off" to New Beginnings, which is what the beginning of the school year signifies for me.

Welcome everyone to the ending program in these series: The Grand Restart of You. I invite you to reflect on this past month and what you've learned about yourself? What have you learned about Life? And how do you want to show up in life? What is your next step? When we take time out of our daily life, to ponder the way we want to be in life, great awareness can come our way? Each one of us has inner guidance. However, if we allow the outside world to rock our boat on a daily basis, then your inner guidance will probably not be heard. We have to take time away from our devices...away from the chat of the world... away from the 101 voices that are all urging you to go in their direction. As you spend time in nature, time in the silence and time listening within, no doubt you will be guided. It's from this place of centeredness, stability and peace, that one's action can be more effective.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you. As you consider a Grand Restart of You, I invite you to ponder how do you want to BE in the world? How do you want to show up? Let explore this during this program. I have a couple resources to share with you that I have found very inspirational. Tune in!
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. Today we will continue talking about having a "Grand Restart". The topic for today is "How do you want to BE?" This has been my reflection for the week. Behind everything one "does" in this world, there is a way of "Being". The flavor of Being which we come from, actually sets the tone and the way we "Do" things in life. So, how do you want to BE in your life? For me, this is a huge topic which is crucial in the topic of the Grand Restart. Shifting the way one is in the world, can impact everything one does. What are the top three ways YOU want to show up in life? Some examples are: Trusting Honest Kind Resourceful Resilient Tolerant Patient Sincere Authentic Respectful Joyful Creative And there are many more words to describe how one can show up. What are your top three? Join us for this conversation.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikkoff and delighted to be bringing you this program. This is Day 3 in the series of "The Grand Restart of You". The focus for today is "Love 4 Self". Do you feel you LOVE yourself? How do you show that Love? Are there any ways in which you to not show love for yourself? I know I grew up in an era where love of one's self was not a topic of discussion. And if it was, it might have even been considered vain. And yet, I've learned that we can only receive what we feel we are worth. Learning to love our self is such a journey. Call in and join the conversation.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here with you for another program. This is Day 2 of a month long series of programs on The Grand Restart of You! Today, we'll talk about TRUST. What do you trust? Who do you trust? How deeply do you trust? Listening to our inner guidance is key to living our best life. Join the conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be embarking on a 30 day program about a Grand Restart! How would you like to take this month to rethink the way you are living and begin a Grand Restart, that will impact every area of your life? The planet is evolving and SO are we. We can no longer remain the same as we were yesterday or the day before. We are being called to stand up and become more of who we are, bringing out our courage, strength and fortitude and learning to trust our self in new ways. This Grand Restart will cover all aspects of one's self...the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual as well as our environment, relationships, prosperity and our purpose. We'll bring up everything to review and the choose what is NOW right for us. And then releasing what is no longer needed. And you can fine-tune the program to your own specific needs and desires. I hope you will join me for this 30 day adventure. Radio program will be Monday - Friday most weeks. Then toward the end of the month there will be "retreat" where you can go within and strengthen in that which you want to shift. The retreat will be June 23 - June 28th, with the ending two programs on June 29th and 30th. Join me as we begin a truly Grand Restart of who we are...and the direction our life is going. Together We Learn...Together We Grow. Also, please follow my blogging at: www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for another program on living a purposeful life. This actually should have been Part I, because it is about living a purposeful life based on your unique talents and gifts. The first program I did a few weeks ago on this topic, was more about how to live purposefully in the moment, when difficult situations arise around us. I spoke about ways we can help in those moments, no matter where we are at that time. This program is more about the direction you choose to go, for living purposfully. This topic of living purposefully has been a favorite topic of mine for over 20 years. In fact, I did a set of affiirmation cards on the topic: LIVING LIFE WITH PURPOSE many years ago. I believe that living a meaningful and purposeful life is one of the most important parts of the human journey. Today, I will share what I've learned about this from my life and invite you to reflect on 3 questions, which will hopefully mirror back to you, what may be a natural direction for you to explore.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, here today with Part I of a program about living purposefully even during these times of transition...and chaos! So much is happening in so many places around the globe! One's attention can easily be pulled in so many directions, that we can actually loose our self on the world stage and end up feeling drained and not making an impact anywhere....and thus we truly are unproductive. And true, there is so much that needs support. And yet, it we allow the world to pull our energy (and to no benefit to anyone) is this the best way to make a difference? Can we step back and perhaps focus our energy in a different way and truly make an impact. Some years back I found a wonderful book, called The Gentle Art Of Blessing by Pierre Praderevand. I had a wonderful conversation with him and invited him on the program, although the timing didn't work out. I believe that if we replace worry and judgement with BLESSINGS, we will make a difference and in the process, live purposefully and maintain our inner peace and remain centered. In addition, some may be called to find a place where they can make a difference and focus on that also. Although our world has always had it's share of chaos, now more than ever before I feel it's more intense and is really calling us to create a new way of Being in the world that makes a difference in the big picture as well as in our own life. This will be just one aspect of our conversation. I'll continue the conversation of "Care 4 Self" and other aspects of the purposeful life! Join the conversation! Call in! .
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here with you for another program. Many times over the last 12 + years, I've done programs around the important of taking TIME for yourself! This has never been a more important topic than NOW! No matter what your role in life in, no matter where you live, no matter your age, taking time to step back or side step life and LOOK at yourself objectively and seeing what YOU need in this moment is ESSENTIAL!! This past week as I was journaling, I wrote out: "CARE 4 SELF"! And then I began looking at each letter in the phrase, and writing out words to describe various aspects of care 4 self. And then just today, I was reflecting on the 4 and feel it is important to just pick 4 aspects of self-care to reflect on and practice at any one time. If you are having burn out or just not feeling up to life, please join in this conversation on Sunday at 1PM Pacific Time. In addition, if you do practice self-care, call in and share your tips. Children can also have burnout. We'll explore this also. Join us! Together We Learn...Together We Grow. AND if you have children and are looking for uplifting and creative programming, please visit my new website:

Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Recently, I was given a new direction of my work with children and that is bringing CREATIVE ARTS to children and teens! Children just love to explore, create and express themselves in creative ways. And through the arts, children discover what they like, what they enjoy and what their talents are and what they are not. And in this process the Arts bring an aliveness to living. Join me this Saturday as I begin this conversation about children and the ARTS and the importance of them. Also, freel free to visit my new website and see what classes I'm offering in May for children and teens. In addition, I'll share with you simple ways to bring the ARTS into your home for your family.

The CREATIVE ARTS bring aliveness to LIVING!
Through the ARTS we all find our VOICE!
We all find our unique GIFTS and TALENTS!
Welcome to The Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and host of this program. Today ends this series of programs on the Gita. I'll share some of the points from this Chapter 6 as well as my own experience, which emerged so naturally, even before I had studied the Gita very much. Meditation can be so natural and so easy. And it can be different for each person. Learning to honor YOUR journey is essential. In addition, I'll share some ending thoughts on the Gita in general and some general Universal Laws it points to as well as guidelines for living. At this time on the planet, each person is being asked to come into their own Truth and take a stand for their values. No matter what we listen to or read, everything can be supportive in each person finding their own "true North" so to speak. As we align with some idea or embody it, we grow in that way. As we move away from a certain perspective, we are defining who we are and what we stand for. It's my intention that as I share my truth, my insights, it will support you in saying yay or nay....and allows you to become more of YOU! And as I often mention, whatever I share is the truth as I see it, in that MOMENT. Each of us is always growing and changing, thus our perspectives change.
Welcome everyone to this program: The Bhagavad Gita's Chapter 5: Renunciation & MORE! Although it appeared that last week's program could have been an ending to this series of programs, my 40 days of reading the Gita continued and much more was revealed, both from the book itself as well as from meditations and times of silence. As we begin to truly make choices that lead us out of bondage into a freer state of living, the MORE of the hidden is unveiled. I've seen for some time now that living in this 21th century brings into the light very important truths about the Planet and happenings on it that have been hidden from most of us for decades. I've hesitated sharing these because some may find them controversial and yet they are truths and I believe the time for them to be spoken about is now. The Awakening of humanity is so essential for the planet to more easily more forward and little by little this is happening. As we move more and more into the age of Aquarius, the greater the light is that is coming toward the planet. This is a "truth" from the field of astrology, that is important to understand. Thus, there is less ability to keep hidden the darkness that is part of this planet's history. AND as we come to understand more about what is happening presently on the planet, we can be more empowered or play our role. We all have pieces to the puzzle that is being untangled. We can no longer look to others for the answers. We must be present in the now, looking at what is happening and go within to see what we are guided to see, feel and know. TODAY, much is shifting on the planet because so many are standing in their Truth and freedom. Let this continue until every man, women, child, animal, plant and mineral is free to be.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today we'll continue looking at the Gita and how its Teachings can support us in daily life. How can we rise above being pulled by the senses? How can we tune into the guidance of the intellect to bring us to a greater understanding of our role in life? Does mediatation have a place..a purpose in us evolving? growing? shifting our level of consciousness?
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today, I'll continue talking about living the basic Teachings of the Gita and will be sharing some more on the subtle points the teachings of the Gita address. This ancient text brings us back to basic principles to live by at a time where such input is of the greater need. Looking to the outside world for direction, guidance and support certainly would be unsettling I would think in times like these. So much is being dismantled. The need is great in these times to find a source of true knowledge that can be a guide for the journey all of us are on... the journey of life, of becoming....of learning and growing and one of expanding our awareness so that we can stand in these times in a place of strength, courage, faith and peace, despite what is going on around us. Join me for this conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today we'll talk about how to use the Gita for Daily Living. How can it benefit you TODAY? Is it easier to live life...when we know are actions are based on Universal Truths....as well as Living Truths. Join me, Sharon Ann Wikoff, for the conversation!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of the Voice of Change. Today, I will continue sharing Living Truths from the Bhagavad Gita, as I read this book once again over the next 40 days. As I reflect on "Living Truths", I ask myself, why are they important? What do they bring into our life that is important? How might the understanding of such Truths support us living in 2022? Join us at 1PM Pacific Time for this next program and feel free to call in with comments or questions.
Welcome Everyone! The Bhagavad Gita is an ancient text which is 700 verses long. It is a dialogue between a man, Arjuna, and his friend, spiritual teacher, Sri Krishna. Arjuna is seeking to do the right thing as he is about to enter a battle that could result in the loss of many people dear to him. So, he is deeply seeking the way to live rightly. He is seeking guidance as to how to live rightly. You could say that Sri Krishna is actually the force of Love that dwells within our consciousness. Although, the story, the Gita is about what Arjuna should do in battle, each of us face such a battle within us on a daily basis. And this is the real beauty of the Gita. The Truths that Arjuna comes to know are the same Truths we all seek about life and living.
On a personal note, I was drawn to the Gita over 20 years ago. I've read and studies many versions of it over the years. For the next 40 days I am going to be reading the first six chapters of the Gita and reflecting on them from time to time on this program. I have inspired to do this by Andrew Harvey who has an upcoming program inviting people to study a spiritual text morning and evening. I will read the Gita in the morning and reflect on it during meditation. This is a powerful way to allow insights about the passage to be revealed to you.
I'll be reflecting on the passages and insights here on this program. This is a time of great challenge on the planet. Such reflection allows us to see deeper truth which just may have an impact on the way we respond to a situation. Each person truly makes a difference. Together we are creating the path forward. I invite you to join me on this journey and read the Gita or another spiritual book of your choice and reflect daily on how to live rightly at this time on the Earth.
Welcome to the Voice of Change!! As we enter into 2022, I feel it's SO important for each of us who know the Truth to stand strong...and cast a beacon of LIGHT for all to see. The image of the lighhouse comes to mind. Lighthouses were essential for the ships to navigate the waters. As each of us take a stand to live life in a passionate, purposeful and poised way, we will light the way for others! And together we will be unstopable! Join me as we talk about becoming such a beacon of LIGHT in spite of the darkness and tragedy that surrounds us.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for Part III of Living Beyond Chaos. During this segment I give an overview of the ending Blogs during my 40 days of Blogging and will be touching on the subjects of Excellence, Universal Laws, Values, Gratitude…and the role of the Ascended Masters during these very intense and powerful times of transition.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be hosting this program today. We are now 21 years into the 21 Century and I'm observing that life is rather different the further we step into the century. I'm observing that the learning curve right now is very steep, if one wants to stay in the present moment. I'll talk about the 4 areas that I see great change happening in....and the importance of awakening in each of them. It's not that you need to explore deeply each of the areas, however, need to be aware of them, in order to maintain a sense of stability during this great time of transition. Feel free to call in and share your experience.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today is Part II of LIVING BEYOND CHAOS. As we are confronted with more control, natural disasters and local and global issues...as well as all that is going on with our family and friends, we can truly become overwhelmed if we do not take care of ourselves...in body, mind and spirit. During this show, I will talk more about the importance of self-care as well as looking at the needs of our children and deeply listening to them...so their VOICE IS HEARD. I shall a beautiful message from the Hopi indian Chief and the gift of working with the Masters during this time on the planet. Tune in. Call in! I look forward to connecting with you. I invite you to also follow my Blog at www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled, LIVING BEYOND CHAOS. As I look around, I'm observing much chaos in the outer world. What has your experience been? Conflicting headlines, natural disasters, strong opinions about every topic from A to Z, family divisions...and so on. At one point, I felt that many of us were being confronted with having whatever we MOST desire, stripped from us and thus having to find alternatives. For me, it's my HOME. I've not been able to find a house of my own to live in for over one month. My dear friend invited me to share hers, which I'm doing...and it's been a JOY in so many ways. I alternate between being in her home and camping. And yet, it doesn't have an extra bedroom for me, so sleeping in the living room in not always convenient for house members. And yet we are making it work, in a more delighful way for now. Have you seen your favorite "preferences' being stripped away? Are you seeing chaos in the world? Are you seeing chaos in YOUR world. Join the conversatoin.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I find it so remarkable that the entire world has been touched by this pandemic. And with this our world has become a little more uncertain on a regular basis. And along with this, the idea of mystery arrives, because we don't know exactly what will arise next. Several years ago, I found myself sitting in the mystery of life, I had no spiritual study at the time and felt I truly had to sit in the mystery of what would be next and the uncertainty of something else arising or not. I think that sitting in the mystery is a very challenging experience for most. At least it was for me. It's so nice to be in a familiar routine surrounded by certainty. Are you sensing the challenge of these times? Are you able to sit with and hold the uncertainty and mystery of these times? Call in and join the conversation.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. For several months now I've spoken on how these two different paths in life, appear to be merging together with many individuals. Those who have led a spiritual life in many ways, are grounding their spirituality in their everyday lived life. And many who have been on the human life, living a life of work, recreation and perhaps family, are now seeking to know about the spiritual path. What is the reason this is happening? What is the benefit to people on both of these paths, in doing this. Join the conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. We are in the midst of this 21nd Century. And change is certainly our companion on every front. As we see the changes occurring around us we may be confused or disoriented, because life is so unfamiliar. I believe that a little knowledge from a couple different "fields" of study, which we may not have engaged in, may be able to ease the confusion, over-whelm and disorientation. Do you know the role astrology plays in the happenings on the planet today? With this understanding, you'll know that this is a period of time...and then things will shift. Do you know that there is such a thing as negative forces at play right now? When we understand some of the basic truths behind today's happenings, we will be more able to "hold" these times and endure calmly. In addition, it is so important to remember to take good care of our self during this time. Being in a stressful situation is much easier to endure, when we are well-rested, nourished with good food and feel supported. Today, I will touch on a few areas that may be supportive in "holding" these times with a little more ease. Tune in for this short but potent program about these times of transition.
During our life, most of us choose an area or two to study and explore. These then become a focus for our life. For myself, I chose Education and Spirituality. I became an elementary teacher and have always explored various spiritual teachings. These two areas encompassed much of my life. I was drawn to these areas naturally. And it was my choice to explore them. I'll emphasis, it was MY choice. Today the world is changing so rapidly! And I'm observing that many separate bodies of knowledge are actually becoming our lived experience today. And it’s happening to quickly, it's almost impossible to keep up with everything! As I reflect on this phenomena, I'm realizing that there are several fields of study (bodies of knowledge) which we all need to know a little about at this time we are living in, if we are to understand what is happening on the planet today! The truths from these different fields are touching us in the course of our daily life! It's no longer a choice if we want to study this field or that field. We are in the midst of experiencing them, whether we like it or not. So, understanding them is imperative if we are to feel one with life at this time. If we are to play our part at this time, we need to have a full picture of everything that is involved. If we don’t jump into the boat of “knowledge” and rapidly take a speed course in the fields that are being revealed in our day to day experience, one may feel over-whelmed, disconnected from today’s world and out of place in the world we inhabit. Join me today as I begin to explore this idea.
Hello everyone! With Mother's Day being yesterday here in the USA, I'm being called to bring up the subject of the FEMININE energy and the REMININE attributes. On Mother's Day I sent a few emails to people who were not mothers but so beautifully express and stand for the feminine energy being expressed on the planet. I invite you to consider WHY would the FEMININE energy, support the planet now? What is the FEMININE energy like? What are it's attributes. Let's explore this tomorrow. I want to share my gratitude with Blog Talk Radio. I've been here since 2009. It's been a wonderful journey. However, this will be perhaps my last show here or next to my last program. In the future, beginning May 24th, you can find me at B B S Radio every other week at 9 AM.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today is Day 20 of our 21 Day Challenge into Radical Listening. As we truly listen to ourself and others and hear with New Ears... life shifts. And when just one thing shifts, that changes everything. During these 21 Day Challenge, I've discovered the gift of spending time alone and going deep into the listening process. Sometimes, we do need to be "radical" and just listen to that inner voice and follow. Has being in nature on a regular basis, supported your listening? Join me today as we explore this process of listening of radical listening.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today is DAY 16 of 21 days into Radical Listening. How is your practice unfolding? What have you learned? Has anything surprised you about your journey? Sometimes, we expect to go down one fork in the road, however, we are strongly guided down another. Are you open to such change? Do you flow with guidance coming to you? Let's have this conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. As we continue the 21 Days of Radical Listening, I'm reminded about the art of listneing to the Universe for its guidance and direction. We do trust that we will be shown the next step? When it speaks, do we listen? What is our level of faith in this process? Feel free to call in and join me.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. In today's program we'll continue the Practice of Tonglen. We'll focus on the emotions of jealousy and envy. However, whatever emotion/s are present for you, you are welcome to work with them during our practice session. This is a practice that connects us with others, even though we are practicing this alone. Join us for the conversation.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today I will share with you a very powerful practice called Tonglen. It's a simple practice that allows us to strengthen our inherent capacity for compassion and courage. Join me as we explore this practice which can be used at any time.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radiio and the Voice of Change. Today, I'll talk about different ways of listening as we continue our 21 Days of Radical Listening. How do YOU best listen to yourself? Let's explore this topic!
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. As we begin to see with new eyes and ear with new ears... many find they are so deeply being called to the "Path of Service"! They want to make a difference on the planet. Everyone, everywhere can be a part of the path. It very simple: SEE with new eyes! HEAR with new ears! OPEN your heart! FEEL with COMPASSION! ACT in LOVE! What are you being called to do? Play more with your children? Communicate more with family and friends? Feed the homeless? Contribute to an organization helping the wildlife? It's all part of the shift taking place on the planet NOW! Call in! join the conversation!
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. As we discussed yesterday, when we deeply listen...and hear and perceive, we have a profound change that can occur. We can see everything with a new clarity. As we go beyond our conditioning and programming, we do see with "new" eyes, hear with "new" ears, think with a clear awareness and act with "new" understanding. This can change our world...and thus the world around us! And from this place we may be called to "stand" for a deeper Truth than ever before in all situations and thus "act" with new understanding. Let's explore such possibilities. Are you being called to truly ACT in new ways? Call in! Join the conversation.
Welcome all to the Voice of Change. As we continue our 21 Day Challenge Into Listening, today we'll talk about the Art of Listening, Hearing and Perceiving and the importance of each. Tune in! This is a powerful practice.
I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and welcome you to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today the topic is the Art of setting an INTENTION. What does an intention create in the Universe? Can it support you? What might such an intention look like if you want to listen to yourself in a deeper and more serious way? Join the conversation.
THE 21 DAY CHALLENGE INTO RADICAL LISTENING:
I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and invite you to join me for this program: 21 DAY CHALLENGE INTO RADICAL LISTENING! Why do I use the word "RADICAL"? That is actually a question I asked myself. And my response to my own question, was as follows: The outside world is speaking so loudly much of the time, that in order to be serious about LISTENING, we must be radical! Radical in the sense that you that TIME to listen, you make it a priority in your life, and you honor what you hear. Listening to your loved ones, to your friends, to nature, to trusted mentors or teachers is important and has its place. However, the most important aspect of radical listening, is learning to listen to yourself. And in this process discernment needs to be used. Is listening to your friend, depleting YOUR energy? Is listening to your adult child daily, causing your great pain? Although listening to all outside of yourself can be empowering to yourself and your loved ones, sometimes we just have to say no! Listening is about coming to TRUST yourself. Listening is about coming to have FAITH in your own guidance, and the direction you decide to go.
How do you LISTEN to your self?
Where do you go to LISTEN to your self?
Is it easy to hear your inner guidance?
Do you tune in and also listen to nature? to others? family? friends?
Call in! Join the conversation.
21 DAY CHALLENGES DURING TIMES OF TRANSITION is the topic for today's program on the Voice of Change. What is the benefit of taking on a 21 Day Challenge during these times of transition? This is the question I pose for us to consider. For decades now, I've observed that I make progress and things shifts when I dedicate short periods of time on a topic or a project. it is like an un-opened gift. You do not know what awaits you!! I've found 21 DAYS to be a very powerful time frame and the "experts" say it takes 21 days to change a habit, or to shift something in one's life. During the recent 21 Day Challenge into Radical Expansion, I discovered my life shifted in unexpected ways. Also, there is an intensity that is created as such a program builds. In addition, it is just 21 Days! Such a program is not asking you to continue with an intense program for an unlimited period of time... just 21 days. I invite you to join me for our next 21 Day Challenge Into Radical LISTENING, and see for yourself, the power of a short and intense period of time for shifting something in your life.
Our next challenge begins right here on the Voice of Change on March 21st and is titled: THE 21 DAY CHALLENGE INTO RADICAL LISTENING
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. Today, is the COMPLETION of the 21 Day Challenge into RADICAL EXPANSION. So as a closure comes to this period of time and this experience, what has changed for you as the result of what happened with you during the 21 Days? I invite you to take a brief inventory of what your experience has been over these 21 days. As I mentioned, I started with one intention, however, for me the 21 Day Radical Expansion, led me into a much broader aspect of newness....which has given me a whole new place to stand. And yet, I do feel even more is to come. Perhaps for some, the shift may seem to be slight or non-existent. This can also be true and also significant. Just as the new seedling underground isn't seen at first, so it is that the new growth of our inner being isn't always seen at first. However, know that any time you live with purposeful intention, seeds are planted. Join us today for this ending session of this 21 Days of Radical Expansion.
NOTE: I will be doing a retreat in the upcoming weeks, so will not have a regular scheduled program. As this point I plan to air again on March 20th. Feel free to browse all the programming available here that spans the last 11 years. Also, feel free to visit my website at: www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org Enjoy!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled: Allowing for the Unexpected. If you fill every second of your life then the Universe doesn't have an opportunity surprise you, guide you, empower you or direct you. Leaving some spaciousness, allow for the unexpected...and often it can be very uplifting, empowering and just pure JOY!
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the VOICE OF CHANGE. If you began the 21 Da Challenge for Radical Expansion when I first invited listeners to participate, you'll be completing it at the end of this week. And if you are just beginning, Welcome! Many of the programs over the last few weeks have revolved around various aspects of doing such a challenge. Today's program is entitled: KNOW YOURSELF. During this program we'll talk about the importance of deeply listening to your self, so you get to know the "real" you. Any time you challenge yourself to "expand" to become more, you have a wonderful opportunity to look deeper, feel deeper and expand into the Truth of who you really are. Have you been uncovering NEW aspects of yourself? Are you getting to know yourself at a deeper level? What are you discovering? Are you finding a new stage on which to stand? Are you discovering new aspects to who you are? Congratulations on opening to the opportunity and the gift of life! Please call in and join the conversation.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is about the challenge of situations that happen in life, that appear to be "unworkable". How can we hold them, in a way that we can continue in life and still have such happenings? I've observed this in a variety of arenas: in our communities, in the nation, in our families, in our homes. Because this now seems to be happening in more situations and more frequently, I wanted to address this during this "21 Day Challenge Into Radical Expansion", when many are intenting to expand in new ways. We need to find a way to be able to "hold" whatever is arising and meting it and yet not allow it to interfer with our own life. What do you do in such situations? Join the conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today I will share with you a process that I've used with children over the last 50 + years. It's called the 10 Minute Miracle and it's all about listening to children. The need for this first spontaneously arose when I was a day camp counselor over 50 years ago, a one of the children in my weekly group, ran off when she was in her art class with another counselor. They came and asked me if I would talk to her. That began what I now call the 10 Minute Miracle. And the process has continued ever since, growing and changing as needed. I've used it in the classroom numerous times as well as with my children. Today, I'll share a variety of stories about how it was used along with the various steps it entails.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I hope you are doing well as you continue the 21 Day Challenge For Radical Expansion in your life. As one moves forward and has an intention to shift and expand your life, old patterns may surface which no longer serve you. This may be along the lines of relationships, lifestyle patterns, feelings about yourself or old memories you are holding on to. As they surface, being present to them really is the GIFT. They are like olds parts of yourself that simply want to be seen one more time. If something has been hidden from you previously, you just may want to take a peek at it...and not look at the entire situation right away. If what is revealed is of traumatic nature, you may actually wish to seek support for handling this. If it's of a minor nature, then looking at it little by little may be fine. During this process, you want to check in with yourself and just see how you are feeling. What is your sense of "self"? This is all part of the process of expansion. When we meet the past with openness, and allow it to be seen, it will release. This gives you more time, energy and space to embrace the new.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio. Yesterday we spoke about simplifying life. And if we do begin simplifying life, just ONE little thing can change everything! This is SO important to realize! You do not have to simplify everything in your life, to see a huge shift. And as new space and time open up, you can just BE in that space and time. How will you BE? Perhaps walking in nature? Perhaps sitting in silence more. Perhaps relaxing more. In addition, as more quiet time becomes available, something may arise that you truly do need to attend to. What are the ways that YOU rest in the place of just BEING? Join the conversation. Call in!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. As we journey through life, sometimes we make life very complicated, complex, involved and filled with distractions. All of these can be entertaining and yet keep us from creating the life we want. Such distractions can keep us from fulfilling what we are here to accomplish or keep us from being in a place to consider what our purpose is. So, as we do begin to simplify our life, space arises for the unknown...the unexpected....the novel...the miracle!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled: Stability In The Process of Expansion. On February 11, I introduced the opportunity of a 21 Day Challenge. And then last week, I spoke of it in terms of a 21 Day Expansion. Although, sometimes we do need to break out of the status quo, the ordinary, the common, we also need to remain in a place of stability as we go through this process. Many of you listening to this programming, may be a role model for others...perhaps the head of the household, or organization, or have a role to play in a group or community. Especially in today's world, we don't have the luxury of just dropping out of sight for a period of time. You may be needed to be in support of others. So, how do we navigate this territory? Expansion on one hand and yet remaining in a place of stability. I'll share some of the things I'm learning in this process and I invite YOU to call in and share your ideas.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio. Today's children is about teaching children and teens about universal Truths. I've spoken about these in regards to adults during numerous program in October and November of 2020. Today, I'll bring this down to the level of the child. Deepak Chopra's book, The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents is excellent in doing this. I'll share how he does this day by day. In addition, I'll talk about the consequences for the child/teen/ young adult & parents, if this is not done. In addition, I'll share with you some of my experiences as a parents of some 50+ years.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled "Navigating The Unknown". As we move forward in life, many may find themselves stepping into unfamiliar territory and going places you've not gone before. How can this best be done? What are some guiding principles for walking this new journey? I invite you to call in and join the conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is for our LIGHT Workers, those who are called to serve the planet at this time of great transition. Are you called to be a support on the planet at this time? Although, I never related to this term, I do feel that it is an umbrella that I fall under because of my concern for Mother Earth and the love I have for humanity. What does your calling look like? Perhaps you too fall under such an umbrella even though it's not one you've related to before or perhaps this is the first time you've heard it. The reason I'm using it now, is because I do feel that we as LIGHT Workers, need to find each other, to support each other, to relate to each other and join together at this unique time on the planet. PLEASE if you relate to this, contact me either through my website or through my new email at sharonannwikoff@protonmail.com And I want to invite us to truly UNITE, because this is our time. It the time to full live the LOVE and the LIGHT we have for the planet and to know we are not alone. Although each of us may have a different type of work, our vision is the same.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled: Just BREATHE...B...R...E...A...T...H...E! Taking time out of our daily life to BREATHE...is so important. This simple action settles our nervous system in a huge way. It quiets our entire system. It is the best way to come back to our true essence...to be still....to be quiet...to be reflective. Today, I will do a longer exercise in using our BREATHE...to quiet our bodies, during today's program. Join us! I do believe that THIS is one of my most important tools we can learn about today.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for today's program. On Friday, I invited you to join a 21 Day Challenge to create RADICAL EXPANSION in your life...for a RADICAL RENEWAL. On my website, www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org I shared with you a short form regarding the setting of your intention for the 21 Day Challenge and suggest you list 3 action steps you will take. If you have already filled that out and have begun the process, perhaps whatever is not aligned with your intention, is arising. That is often just want happens. So, I invite you to use whatever is arising just as a TRUE beginning to the unfolding of your INTENTION. If your intention is to create a harmonious living environment, then perhaps, something will arise that is NOT aligned with your intention. SO, it's a wonderful starting place, to work with that exact situation. The MORE that arises, the more opportunities you really have to handle what is not aligned. Life is amazing in the way it does support us in our unfolding process. And yet, at the time, it may not seem like it's aligned with achieving your intention. Tune in! Join the conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is about taking a 21 Day Challenge for Radical Expansion and the Radical Renewal of Your Life! Would you like to take advantage of the energies coming to the planet right now and make a significant change? What might that look like for you? A move? Meditation? Greater Health? Teaching your children a set of values? This week I've been talking about the changes taking place on Planet Earth. As our planet "wobbles" ever more toward the constellation of Aquarius, these energies become stronger and stronger on the planet. They are calling us all up to stand for our greatest Truth, to be authentic, to fully embrace our deepest desires. The same energies are those behind the changes taking place on the planet at this time. Are you being called to serve the unfolding of this New Time on the planet? I invite you to consider what might a "radical renewal" of your life look like? Feel free to officially sign up for the challenge at www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org Join the conversation tomorrow! Call in!
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled: Radical Expansion & The Radical Renewal of Your Life. I've been considering using the word "RADICAL" for a few weeks now, but hesitate because of the negative use of the word in recent times. However, I have decided to use it in this context, because sometimes we do need to make an extreme shift in the way we've been living in the past. Years ago I heard the word used regarding "Forgiveness", the work of Colin Tipping and author of "Radical Forgiveness". His teachings have empowered many. So, I will invite you to consider "Radical Expansion". If you considered bringing, "Radical Expansion" into your life, what might it look like? How might you expand into being your BEST SELF, into your HIGHEST SELF, into your completely HONEST SELF. And if you did this how might it radically RENEW your life? As I reflect on this for myself, I must say, that I hesitate, questioning whether or not, I could pull it off? Could I really shift out of an old pattern? Could I trust myself to "try"? What if I failed? What does such an expansion FEEL like for you? I invite you to a 21 DAY CHALLENGE!! This series of programs will end March 5, which is plenty of time for a 21 DAY CHALLENGE. They say that 21 days is a perfect amount of time to bring about significant change. I'll create a link today for my website, so you can join up there if you wish. www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. Today I'll speak about the "Renewing of Your Way of Life". At times we can get caught up into an "automatic" mode and so much can change without us realizing it in the moment! So, it's always a good idea to take time out and step back and LOOK with new eyes at our life, and make conscious choices about it. What are the beliefs that are behind your daily life now? Have you gotten into any habits that are not empowering? Do you take time out to BREATHE deeply, so your nervous system can stay calm, cool and collected?
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is about how our life styles has changed recently and how what you can do to create positive changes, simply by awareness. Have your ways of shopping shifted? Is there anything you want to do to create a new positive change regarding your shopping? Have your patterns of listening to the television or moved shifted recently? Are you able to stay connected to family and friends? Making small changes can be important for you and your family. Have you taken up any new practices recently? It's an excellent time to begin a new hobby, learn a spiritual practice or learn a new skill. In order to really make changes, we have to acknowledge what is happening first and see the situation and then reflect on what you want to do next. Taking time to observe, reflect, discern and change can be a powerful process. Join in the conversation. Call in!
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm beginning a new series today which will continue for four weeks. This will give an overview of these times on the planet and the reason behind the chaos. Today, I'll speak about the astrological happenings at this time and how this is affecting all of us on Planet Earth. I just rewrote the introduction to the show today and pasted it below. In a nutshell this is what is happening today in our world. This is a challenging time for most of us. We are all being affected in one way or another. Loss of loved ones, loss of work, lack of money, fear and sadness, differences of opinions and direction create loss of connection...and the list goes on. We need each other during this time. Feel free to call in and speak your truth. Together We Learn & Together We Grow.
The “Voice of Change” is very conscious of world happenings and the cycles of life. Thus, we adjust our programming accordingly. This is a most unique time in our history. As a planet we are now aligning with the constellation of Aquarius. This constellation is emitting very strong energies of LIGHT & LOVE toward Earth and revealing all that has been hidden for SO long! This is the reason for the chaos. This has brought loss & death to many. Others are left with sadness, depression or fear. And yet, let us have faith that these are the pains of a planet & species being Rebirthed! The opportunities are many, as are the challenges. Join me on a journey into loving…truth, joy and peace, even in the midst of great change and challenge. Together We Learn…Together We Grow! www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today I'll be talking about the ART of Raising Children, Part II I do believe it is an art, because it is a very creative process. In addition, each child and each parent is unique, therefore, each interaction can be nothing other than a unique experience each and every time. And at the same time there are Universal Laws or Spiritual Laws that can guide the process. One of the resources I'll share with you is Deepak Chopra's book: The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents.

Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. This is the last day of our retreat and will focus on the importance of Action and Non-Action after a retreat. Bringing any "new insight" you may have had during the retreat, so that it becomes part of your life-style is key. Preparing for this precious opportunity, I invite you to consider the following enquiry questions:
Do you want to "BE" in the world in a New Way after this retreat? How?
Is there a deeper Purpose important to you now? What is that?
Are you hearing a call from Mother Earth to serve her in a greater way? What might that look like?
How can you bring a greater Peacefulness into your daily life?
Is there a spiritual practice you want to bring into your life? What is it?
Mini Retreat: THE ART OF LIVING LIFE ...during Times of Transition

Day 2: Opening To The Maturity Of The Heart (January 29)
Day 3: The Art Of Transformation (January 30)
Day 4: Remembering The Gift Of Life (January 31)
Day 5: The Art Of Action & Non-Action After A Retreat (February 1)
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. This is Day 4 of a 4 day program. I'm doing a personal retreat this week-end, so I thought I'd align my radio programs with the retreat. Today, the title of the program is Remembering the Gift of Life. Do you remember the beauty of life or do you get so caught up in the outer world that you forget to enjoy the journey? Tune in today and learn about the importance of focus and attention.... so you can always stay attuned to the "Gift of Life."
The following is about Day 1 of this four day retreat:
Do you know the TRUTH of who and what you are? We truly are "spiritual" beings... having a physical experience on Planet Earth. Especially when challenges come our way, we can turn into this aspect of our self for greater strength, courage, stability and fortitude. It would be nice if we remembered we could access this aspect of our self ALL the time, wouldn't it? If you take time to sit in the silence and stillness, you can better access this inner quality...your inner voice. If you long to be able to access this part of yourself more readily, establishing a regular practice is helpful.

Day 5: The Art Of Action & Non-Action After A Retreat
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today is Day 2 of a 5 day program. The title of today's program is "Opening to the Maturity of the Heart". During this time of transition on the Planet, many are experiencing much chaos in life, both in the outer realm and often within. Learning to be with ALL that is arising, takes a mature heart. A mature heart is able to hold the uncertainty, the challenge, the chaos and remain as if in the "center of the storm" because it rests in its connenction to the "divinity" within. Today we'll talk about some of the divine qualities that support a mature heart. KNOW that as you grow in awareness and deepen in the truth of who you are, you become a beacon of LIGHT for others at this time. I'd love to be in contact with you.

Day 5: The Art Of Action & Non-Action After A Retreat
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be bringing this programming to you. Today's program is entitled The ART of Well-Being. Today's times of transition and challenging call on us to truly take care of our self on all levels...the physical, emotional, mentally and spiritually. When we are in the midst of change, either outer or inner or both, we may be less stable, less certain and more fragile to the environment around us. We must stay alert and be awake for this opportunity to live fully during critical times. Tune in for some reminders are ways of having compassion for yourself at this time.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is about the power of choice and what that might look like. We have so many ways in which we can become more fully who we are. With the use of our human creative powers, the options are infinite. Some are in the process of parenting. Others have a career already in place. And then there are others that are in flux, and not sure what their next step may look like. One of the opportunities we have is that of service. There are numerous service clubs where people come together for a greater cause. Perhaps you are being called to serve in this way. Others may be called to serve in a way that is unique to this time on the planet. You may be called to support a neighbor, to speak for a cause or to enter into a new spiritual way of life. At this time on the planet, change is happening very quickly in some arena. One day you may not know your path forward and the next day it may be crystal clear. Learning to listen to our inner voice is key.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled: Deepening Into The Art of Becoming You! In today's world we may be distracted in the art of becoming all that we truly are, because of the pull into the outside world. And yet if we step back and see the bigger picture, the world is going to be the world! Whatever it does, it is going to do. So, no matter where you are in this continuum, are you able to just simply BE with whatever is arising for you, in a space of neutrality? If so, then you can once again focus on deepening into the art of becoming YOU. Once you reach a place of neutrality for the outside world, what is it that calls for your attention in the process of becoming YOU? Do you want to be more creative? Do you want to focus on your health? or relationships? Or, perhaps you may want to begin a spiritual practice of meditation. You have many creative powers which are yours and can be used to create your life. I used a picture of a labyrinth to go with today's show. When walking a labyrinth, you can both release what is no longer serves AND take in what you wish to embrace. I'll share with you a way that you can create your own version of a labyrinth wherever you are. It's a wonderful way to let go of the old...and take in the new. Know that this is the first day of the rest of your life and it can take you in any direction. Enjoy the process.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host and producer of this program.
Yesterday, I explored the effects I've seen throughout the years on children and adults as they get
deeply connected to television, social media and cell phones. Some parents feel say almost have no
choice, but to allow their children to watch television and be on their phones. Today, I'll explore
some creative ways to engage children in creative and fun ways that allow them to learn more about
their gifts and talents. Beginning in 1967, in my very first 3rd grade classroom, I began to see the
impact of television on children. It was extraordinary. Please call in and share your experience on these programs.
SHARON ANN WIKOFF has worked with children in a variety of capacities over the last 50 + years. Some of those
roles were: the mother of three grown children, an elementary teacher, pre-school teacher, facilitator of mommy and me class,
the director of several day camps and director of children's educational service at several metaphysical churches, In addition,
She is the author of 3 eBooks on listening to children and wrote a column for a number of years for the Gazette in Sebastopol, California.
She is passionate about being a voice for the voiceless, bringing about new possibilities for those unable to speak for themselves.

Have they changed recently?Tune in and join the conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change.

Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today, is Part II in this series of Teaching PEACE to Children. I'm delighted to share with you a program I put together in 2011. It's about the process of bringing about PEACE in the home situation. However, this can also be used in a school setting too. It's a Step by Step process and easy to bring into any situation. This is a practice that can be used with children from one to 21!

Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here with you for another program.
PART II: Today's program is Part II In this program I'll reflect on some additional aspects of making a decision. 1. The first is regarding the part our media has played in the way we see life and take action or non action. 2. The second is regarding our inner knowing and the action that comes from that knowing. Please call in and join the conversation. If you are listening to this program after it has been recorded. I invite you to contact me through my website. www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
PART I:
Today, I'll be talking about the ideas of independent thinking, the group mind and the practice of getting agreement with others. When there is an important decision to be made, people make decisions in different ways. Three of those ways are those that I mentioned here. Let's explore each one and see the possibilities within each. When you have an important decision to make, what do you consider as you do so? Some self-enquiry questions around this might be: Do I trust myself? Do I prefer others to make that decision for me? Am I open to seeing new information or different view points? Join in the conversation.

Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be bringing you this program. Today, the topic is the play of divine and undivine attributes in our daily life. When we step back and look at life, how do these attributes play out? Which ones govern your life? Can you tell the difference between the attributes a person expresses versus the deeper intention of a person. Can someone truly be a "good-liking" person or you might call him/her a "god-like" person, connected to the divine and yet be expressing many undivine qualities? Is this possible? Do you feel you like more in the "field" of the divine or undivine attributes? Join the conversation! Call in 516 453 9142 Together We Learn...Together We Grow
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program will revolve around the undivine attributes that limit our goodness. As human beings we all have those traits or attributes that are positive and the not so positive ones. Today we'll speak of them as the undivine attributes. Some of these are: fear, violence, malice, arrogance, pride, anger, rudeness and ignorance. Which one is the one that limits your goodness? Join the conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's we'll talk about the divine attributes that we as individuals can express. What are the ones that you most honor? What are three divine attributes that YOU express on a regular basis? Some to consider are: compassion, self-giving, truthfulness and peacefulness. Is there ONE that you wish to embody to a greater degree this year?
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is about reflecting on your approach to the way you parent so you can review your present practice and see if there is anything you wish to shift. I often find it refreshing to look at the "way" I was parenting from time to time, to see how I feel about the process.
Welcome all to the Voice of Change, Today's program is on the VALUE of peace. Knowing the values that YOU honor and passing them onto your children is such a JOY! Today I'll share with you a variety of ideas of how you can easily teach the value of "PEACE" to your children in the context of your day to day life.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is about the power of non-action. We often speak about the power of ACTION. And it's true, action has much power. Also, so does non-action. Have you ever had the opportunity of stopping yourself before saying something to someone, and being So grateful you didn't say it? Today, let's explore Non-Action and the power behind it. Here are a few ways in which NON-ACTION may show up:
Not Speaking
Not Drinking
Not Eating
Not Spanking
Not Yelling
Not Telling a Secret
Not Walking Away from a relationship
Not Getting Angry
Not Cutting Down a Forest of Trees
Not Getting Even with someone
Not Hitting
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here for this program today. During these times of challenge...times of transition, how do we live? What is most important? What are you being called to do? How are you being called to respond? Can we learn to find a peaceful way of speaking? Can we learn to find a peaceful way of acting? Our world can only be as peaceful as each individual is peaceful! Even when times are really challenging, we must find ways of talking and acting in peaceful ways. Years ago, a radio host at the station where I first worked, often said when there is No Justice...there is No Peace.If a child is not being heard, he reacts! And some things in very disruptive eways! There does need to be a way for children and adults to come together and hear even the most challenging of things. This is true for families, organizations, groups of all kinds, including our government. Can you speak the truth about important topics in your life? Let's begin this conversation. All that needs to be said needs to be said in an open format... in a calm and peaceful way. Call in!
Welcome to The Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be bringing you this program today. The title of it is, "How Can You Stand For PEACE Today? Peace is a practice that I feel we all must really make an effort to practice. In 2021, we have advanced in SO many areas. However, in relationship to one another we aren't always so advanced. We teach our children not to hit... to use their words. We, as adults, must practice this in every area of our Life. Today I will share with you what each letter in the word PEACE stands for to me. Deepak Chopra wrote a book, Peace is the Way. I'll share with you some ideas from this book with you for the practice of peace on a daily basis.
Welcome All to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and today will be speaking about the truth about life and the truth about you. Recently, I was reminded about the purity of Our Mother Earth when it was first created...and how everything was so fresh, so lush... and here for all of the creatures yet to come to the Planet. And as I reflect back to such a beginning I ask, where is that now? What has happened? And then this morning, I was awakened to feel the newness of life... the freshness of a new beginning. And I felt such gratitude for the continous possibilities of living life ANEW on Mother Earth. Why are we here? Why are you here? and How do we Live? How do we live NOW to return Our Mother Earth to its pristine state. Let's have this conversation.
Welcome to The 2021 Edition of the VOICE OF CHANGE!
More than ever before...
Let us…
SEE with NEW Eyes!
HEAR with NEW Ears!
THINK from a SILENT Mind…
FEEL with an OPEN Heart…
ACT with DEEP Compassion & Wisdom… and to always
BE in our CENTER of PEACE!
If you witness something very challenging or hear something that is very hard to take in, and you can't access your "center of peace", what can you do CONSTRUCTIVE to be with it?
Perhaps...Go For A Run! (Feelling the fresh air is wonderful!)
Have Chocolate Cake! (On occasion...we can indulge!)
Jump into the Pool! (Actually, I've done this...and it was SO helpful!!)
Create! Paint! Dance! Sing!
I do believe we each must find OUR unique way of holding the chaos...the unworkability... the peril, until we can access that place within which is always a refuge...away from the peril! Otherwise, our actions could lead us and others into an even worse scenario.
Know that this is a place where you can share your ideas, thoughts, challenges and JOYS!
Call in! Join the conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today I will share with you the facts about The State of America's Children 2020 from the "children's defense fund...Leaves No Child Behind" report. In addition, I'll share a few poems with you about the joy and blessing children are. Let us all remember our children as we begin 2021! And if there is a child in our life, let us do what we can to nurture them, empower them and let them know they matter!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and seeing this is the Week-end Edition of the Voice of Change, will focus on our children. With all that is going on in the world right now, our children are picking up on the energy as well as what they experience through their senses. How can we best support them at this time? How can we allow them to participate and feel empowered during such times. Tune in for this converesation today.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and want to share with you some thoughts for the New Year. As I begin 2021, I ask myself, what does it truly mean To Be Alive? Do I Live Fully? Is this time on the planet calling for me to live in a new way? Is it inviting me to LOVE myself in a deeper way and if I did so, what would that look like? 2020 was a year that truly changed the way we played this game of life? How is 2021 calling YOU to Be? to Live? to Be Alive? This world right now needs so much COMPASSION and PEACE! How can YOU make a difference at this time! Tune in!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikof, host of the Voice of Change. As we continue to move into the arena of the Age of Aquarius and become accustomed to the energy from the Aquarius Constellation to affect Planet Earth in greater and greater ways, we'll need to step back and re-think some of the old ways which have become second nature to us in so many areas of life. Just as I'm writing this an image came to me, of how this can be illustrated. The OLD Way: We have two ice cream cones, chocolate and vanilla and you must make a choice. The NEW Way: There are numerous ice cream cones, each blended with two flavors (or more) and you easily are drawn toward one. In the new way of living, the head, heart and body move as one unit, without the debate of the mind entering into it as much as before.It might be expressed as: We Know! We Feel! We Act! Reflecting on the way we move in life or see others move, we may be able to understand this better. Although this is a "new" way for most of us, perhaps you've experienced times in your life when this came naturally to you. Let's explore!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program will continue PART II on the discussing of the Living Principles I've been sharing with you. Today's program will conclude Part II on all the Principles we've discussed thus far, for at least now. I'm seeing there are so many new topics surfacing that I need to open up the programming to address other subjects. In addition, today, I'll share with you my observations about the energies coming into the planet at this time...and a few ideas of how to work with them. As we come to the end of the year and almost the beginning of 2021 much is arising. Join us. And you are also welcome to call in and join the conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is on the Living Principle: Cultivating Right Relationships. Part II The relationship we have with everything in LIFE is such an important aspect of our experience. And yet how much time do we reflect on our experience and our relationships within life? Some of the relationships we'll discuss today are: the relationship we have with ourself (body/heart/soul), the relationships we have to other people (family/friends/community), the relationship we have with the objects in our life (home,car,belongins), the relationships we have with our emotions (how do our emotions affect the relationships we have with food, alcohol, sexual relations, money) and the relationship we have with our environment. Are we even aware of all these relationships? Are we aware we can shift our relationships because WE HAVE CHOICE. Sometimes, we can go into "automatic pilot" and just live going through the motions, but without our consciousness being present. And at the same time we all have the ability to touch into that place within our self, that is always PEACEFUL and to recreate our choices from there. PART II During this Part II of Cultivating Right Relationships, let us focus on what we can do in our own life, to begin this practice today. Join the conversation. Call in!
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here with today's program entitled LIVING PRINCIPLES: HONORING ALL FORMS OF LIFE! Part II Today's program is the second part of talking about this subject. LIVING PRINCIPLES seem to me to be a way to live that is aligned with the Universal Truths I've been speaking of in recent programs. This series of programs was inspired by an experience I awakened to this past week. It made this concept of "HONORING ALL FORMS OF LIFE" so real for me. I look forward to sharing this with you. And I ask, do you believe it's important to honor all forms of life? and if so, how do you practice this? Join the conversation! Call in! Tune in!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's LIVING PRINCIPLES are: The Respecting of Our Elders & Living Congruently in Thought, Word & Deed. In some cultures, the elders are greatly respected and have a place in the family as they age. In many others that is not the situation. Homes are created to house elders at all stages of their life. I've heard it said that a culture or society can be evaluated as to how they care for their elders. What do you think would be needed? What needs to happen for them to be cared for? And if we say on one hand, they are important and on the other hand, do nothing, are we living congruently in this area? What has your experience been in this arena? Join the Conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today I'll share with you about the amazing secret world of the unborn child. In addition, I'll speak about the ways in which we can tune in to infants and communicate with them with love, compassion and empathy.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's Living Principle is entitled: Mindful Consumption & Mindful Compassion. As we speak about being mindful of consuming, we also have to have compassion for ourselves and wherever we are on the journey to our wholeness. I know that with the holidays here, and all that we've been going through on the planet, many are having challenging times. Many have experienced great loss over the last several months, and taking time to acknowledge this is so important for our spirits to recover and be able to move forward. And on the other side of this, there is much newness arising, much synchronistic happenings, so these too need to be acknowledged. It's sometimes difficult to believe both polarities are taking place at the same time. As we come to the end of the year and almost the beginning of 2021, the topic of "Mindful Consumption" is very appropriate. In preparing for a new beginning, is there anything you are reflecting upon...as something you wish to shift with your pattern of consumption. As we thrive to keep our bodies free from pollution, we can reflect on what it is we take into our body that is not pure. Some things we'll reflect on today are: food, alcohol, television programming, magazine, books, films, etc. Thich Nhat Hanh brings into this conversation many interesting points which I'll share with you today. Join us. And you are also welcome to call in and join the conversation.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program revolves around cultivating deep listening and kind speech. As we develop these skills we are able to honor and respect others even if we disagree with them. During ordinary conversation we can learn to come from a place of neutrality... without having a certain position about a subject/ Thus, we can exchange ideas easily and effortlessly, without attempting to persuade others into accepting our viewpoint. And at the same time, if we feel strongly about a subject, we can state that and let them know ahead of time, we have a position, then we can still proceed with kind speech...and deep listening, because they know we do have such a position. In addition, this Principle also includes an opportunity for us to empower others, nurturing their self-confidence and individual uniqueness. Other aspects of this are not to lie, spread untruth, gossip or cause unnecessary hurt to others. And then if we recognize there is a conflict or an unresolved issue, we address it with efforts to resolve and reconcile with the other parties involved. Please call in or listen and join the conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is on the Living Principle: Cultivating Right Relationships. The relationship we have with everything in LIFE is such an important aspect of our experience. And yet how much time do we reflect on our experience and our relationships within life? Some of the relationships we'll discuss today are: the relationship we have with ourself (body/heart/soul), the relationships we have to other people (family/friends/community), the relationship we have with the objects in our life (home,car,belongins), the relationships we have with our emotions (how do our emotions affect the relationships we have with food, alcohol, sexual relations, money) and the relationship we have with our environment. Are we even aware of all these relationships? Are we aware we can shift our relationships because WE HAVE CHOICE. Sometimes, we can go into "automatic pilot" and just live going through the motions, but without our consciousness being present. And at the same time we all have the ability to touch into that place within our self, that is always PEACEFUL and to recreate our choices from there. Join the conversation. Call in!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and today's program is entitled: Living Principles: Practicing Loving - Kindness. Loving Kindness, in the Buddhist Tradition is about the intention of and capacity to bring joy and happiness to another person or living being, Maitri is the Buddhist word they use for this type of intention. I would also add that it is about being respectful, honoring, kind and loving in all relationships...thought, word and deed. These Living Principles were inspired from an experience I had revolving around a caged animal, which brought to mind the 5 Mindfulness Training practices Thich Nhat Hanh wrote about in his book: For a Future To Be Possible. In his book he wrote:" To promote the well-being of people, animals, plants, and minerals, we have to come together as a community and examine our situation, exercising our intelligence and our ability to look deeply so that we can discover appropriate ways to express our maitri in the midst of real problems. Another aspect of this practice comes from being generous enough to share your time, energy and material resources with those in real need? How would the world you live in benefit from the practice of Loving Kindness? Do you see others practicing generosity to make a difference? How do you feel about these practices?

Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here with today's program entitled LIVING PRINCIPLES: HONORING ALL FORMS OF LIFE! Part I Today's program is the first of a series of programs which will revolve around a set of what I'm calling: LIVING PRINCIPLES We've spoken over the last 3 months about Universal Truths that are already woven into the fabric of Planet Earth. Now, I turn to LIVING PRINCIPLES. How do we live aligned with these Universal Principles? This is what these LIVING PRINCIPLES will address. This series of programs was inspired by an experience I awakened to this past week. It made this concept of "HONORING ALL FORMS OF LIFE" so real for me. I look forward to sharing this with you. Join the conversation! Call in! Tune in!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann WIkoff, host of this programming. Today's program is about the greatest GIFT you can give your child during the holidays! SO many times, parents spent SO much time preparing for a holiday... shopping online, wrapping presents, baking cookies... as their child is sitting there bored, unhappy and acting out! SO, if presents, cookies and MORE presents isn't the answer... WHAT IS? Tune in!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today I'll speak about the "educating" of children and how it can play a huge role in the raising of children. In fact it's a very effective way of handling almost all situations with children and certainly is much more effective than a "spanking" for disciplining a child or a punishment. In most places the hitting of another person is actually considered abuse or domestic violence except when it comes to the hitting of a child. Isn't this an amazing double standard so many have come to accept as appropriate. And now in some place, the hitting of a child is a serious crime. We are at a fork in the road right now and the road we take and the choices we make will be having even greater consequences than ever before. Let us:
See with New Eyes...
Ear with New Ears....
Feel with an Open Heart...
Think with a Clear Awareness... and
Act with New Understanding
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, and pleased to be bringing you this programming during these times of transition. Today, I wanted to bring into our conversation two more Universal Truths which are affecting these transitional times. One revolves around the process of recognizing what is really "true". I invite you to ask yourself, "How do you know what is really True during such times?" I'll share some thoughts around this, referring to the ancient text of the Bhagavad Gita, for some answers. The second is about the transition we are in at this time and the dark and light we see arising. Rio Olesky, Wholistic Astrologer, since 1976 spoke about the 25,000 year cycle that is now ending on the planet, when he was my guest on December 11 of this year. With this shift becoming SO apparent, with all the chaos arising as well as much light.... additional Universal Truths are being shown and need to be addressed, hoping to bring a deeper understanding to this challenging time.
Are you being called to be a "Voice of Change"? Are you wanting to make a difference on the planet and support the emergence of a "New World"? This is the time to step forward into making a difference on the planet. The WORLD MOTHER, GAIA, MOTHER EARTH is calling us! This is the time to commit to being the change YOU want to see. Let us join together, share our visions and missions and begin anew! Let us each grow the work we are so deeply committed to, into a gorgeous lotus flower...for all to see. This is the Place. Now is the Time. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and here to support you in being the change you want to be! Tune in! Call in. Follow my blog at www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org PS. For those of you who want to serve and yet now sure what that will look like, join us! It will be revealed!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today we'll talk about the world in terms of 5D or Fifth Dimension Consciousness. In some fields this is a very common way of referring to the changes that are going on presently on the planet. We are always growing in our consciousness! It's part of our inherent DNA, TO LEARN, TO GROW, TO EXPERIENCE, TO BE! In this way of thinking, the terms 3D, 4D and 5D can be useful. This program will be a 3 part series. Each day I'll speak about a different aspects of this.

to the Voice of Change and the Week-end Edition, devoted to the ART of Being with Children. Today's topic is an extension of yesterday's conversation about creating a home environment/s where children LOVE to play independently. When we decide to "want" our children to become more free, and not SO dependent on us as the parent, sometimes, there can be a resistance, almost at the subconscious level. Because, perhaps at some level we DO want them dependent on us. I have three wonderful children and have always loved being MOTHER, however, I did need/require times throughout the day, times when the children and I were together but in silence for the most part. My intention as a parent was to raise self-sufficient children, so I was able to easily move into supporting them in doing that. As I reflect on this topic today, I'm realizing that creating this atmosphere was a process. Change does not happen overnight usually, and yet there is always that possibility that it can. It can be an adjustment for ourselves as well as for our children. Life is such a GIFT! A time for always learning and a deeper self-discovery of what our inner self likes and needs.
Welcome to the Voice of Change and the Week-end Edition, devoted to the ART of Being with Children. Today's topic is one of my favorites and that is about creating a home environment/s where children LOVE to play independently. I learned this skill out of necessity. I have three wonderful children and have always loved being MOTHER, however, I did need/require times throughout the day, times when the children and I were together but in silence for the most part. We could even be in the same room, but each person was playing/ working independently. As I reflect on this topic today, I'm realizing that creating this atmosphere was a process. Change does not happen overnight usually, and yet there is always that possibility that it can. Today, I'll share about having focal points of interest in the home, how to educate children about a 'change' in the household dynamic and also, ways of fostering independent and self-sufficiency. And tomorrow I'll do a follow up program on the self-enquiry this process entails for the adult/s involved.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today my guest is Rio Olesky, a professional astrologer since 1976. He will be speaking about the importance of Jupiter and Saturn at this time on the planet as well as the 25,000 cycle that is now coming to an end and the differences we'll be experiencing on the planet as the Piscean era transitions into the Aquarian era.
Rio Olesky received a Bachelor's Degree in humanities from the University of California at Berkeley and a Master's Degree in humanities from San Francisco State University. He has been a serious student of astrology since 1967. He became a professional astrologer in 1976 after a serious student of astrology since 1967. He has a monthly column and teaches Astrology classes in Santa Rosa, CA.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program centers around how we can empower our children to understand their innate POWERS. These POWERS include the power to create, the power to choose, and the power of non-action. Although many times children spontaneously use these powers, perhaps if we were to articulate them as children use them, they'd come to call on them in new ways as needed. Would it not be wonderful for a child to know that he/she could use the power of non-action, if someone said something mean to him. Perhapes he/she might restrain himself and not strike back. Join the program. Call in!
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. No doubt as you look around, both near and far... locally and globally, you will see much of what I am seeing! Much chaos, challenge, injury and injustice is present, showing us so many aspects of the dark side of life. And then on the other hand, there is much innovation, newness, creativity, showing us the light. Never before have we had so much taking place at the same time, on both ends of the scale. It's difficult to take in, to comprehend, to understand (which our mind always wants to do).
And yet if we look into various teachings, we see that these times have been talked about for ages, knowing that they were coming. As I've mentioned before, this is all happening because we are moving from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age. Each Age has a different energetic focus that is grounded in the astrological happenings, so the basis of this is scientific.
Today, I'll share more about both Ages and the different characteristics they exhibit which help to explain the reasons behind the happenings of today, and how we can align with the new.
Thank you for tuning into the programming here at the Voice of Change. Today's program will be about the ART of LIVING LIFE. And I do believe it is an ART. And even more importantly at this time is to realize it truly is an ART, which we have the capacity to manage. Distractions are coming at us from every side. If we do not take control of where we put our attention, we may be pulled in many diverse directions. Let's explore the ART of LIVING LIFE today from the perspective of the Human Powers we have. Some of these powers are the Power of focus, attention, choice and intention. How do these work together to create one's life? Would you like to have a greater enjoyment in life? a greater fulfillment? a greater satisfaction? The choice is yours. This doesn't mean that we aren't going to have difficulty and happening that devast us. But it does mean that we have the strength, courage and power to be with what is happening and walk through such times, as we learn more about the ART of living. I chose to use flowers as the pictures for this program. Life is like a flower unfolding day by day. And just like a flower, life is beautiful in all of its stages of unfoldment. Tune in! Call in!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled: PURPOSE, PRACTICE AND PASSION! Do you have a meaningful purpose in life? a spiritual practice for support? and passion for your purpose, for life? This will be the conversation today. Call in!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today's conversation will revolve around how to develop a close and open relationship with your child/ren so you are respected by them in an authentic way. This can be with your own child/ren and/or those you work with in a teaching setting or child care. Although some may feel they automatically "deserve" the respect of children, I've discovered it must be earned on a regular basis. Years ago I moved from Oregon to California in order to study with a lady who was extraordinary in her ability to connect with children. She once said that the ability for a child to hear what you are saying and respect you is dependent on the quality of the relationship you have with that child. I've seen this to be true over and over again. Therefore, a strong and on-going connection is essential. So, how does one develop such a relationship with a child? I believe it is dependent on the CONNECTION you create with the child based on LISTENING and your COMMUNICATION with her/him. How do we build this connection? How do we listen in a way that makes a difference? How do you communicate with them to build that special connection? This will be the conversation. Join us.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and The Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and welcome you to the Week-end Edition of the Voice of Change, focusing on the Art of Purposeful and Peaceful Parenting. Is it not amazing that we are taught about the ABC's (reading, writing and arithmetic) as they say in the 1940's tune, "School Days" but seldom are we given instruction on how to live. In addition, we are not taught about one of the most important areas of life and that is PARENTING! So, often when we come into parenthood, we have to play catchup, having to self-reflect on the values important to us and then bring those to our children. No wonder that parenting can be challenging at times. SO, I suggest we start at the beginning. "A very good place to start", as the song "Do Re Mi" says! I invite you to ask yourself the following questions:
What are the life values I want to live by?
What are the values I want to pass on to my children?
What are the values I was raised with as a child?
These three questions are the umbrellas under which we can truly begin to look at the way we parent.
In the late 1980's, I was introduced to the Jefferson Center and took a week-end seminar from them on Character Development and brought that back to present to the private school where I was a teacher. The program was a huge success. As I recall character traits such as Kindness, Honesty and Forgiveness with part of the curriculum.
I'll put some common values in the BLOG at my website for your reference. And again, remember to acknowledge yourself first for what is already working in your life. It's SO important to start there...and then shift if you wish.
This will be the conversation today. Join us!
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and The Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to have you listening in. Today's program is entitled: Times for Living Loving & Laughing! Today with so much to "hold", with such uncertainty, how do we live rightly? I believe it's by the "way" in which we live! There is So much we can't control. There is So much uncertainty, so what can we do? I'm observing that as the days come and go, there is more and more uncertainty as to what tomorrow will bring. We are not able to control what is happening. However, we can control our response to whatever is arising. And I feel that the four words we can live by are: LIVE! LISTEN! LOVE! and LAUGH! I invite you to see how these four words are already in your life. And perhaps there are other words that you feel you want to add to the way you live. Taking time out to reflect on "how" we want to live...and BE is important. How do we truly LIVE during this time? How do we truly LOVE during this time? Do we deeply listen to ourself and others? And what happens when we do? And can you find ways to truly LAUGH during this time? My children and their Dad and myself share various things on email from time to time during the week. Some are of beautiful scenes from nature, that truly are breath-taking. Others are so humorous... good for such a hearty laugh. And others are just filled with love. No doubt you are already living by these words in your life. Acknowledge yourself for ALL that you are already doing! It's So important to see what is already working.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Recently, I had the delight of being introduced to Hildegard of Bingen who was born in 1098 and during her decades in the monastery (living in her own type of "lockdown") she discovered the great gifts in the natural world right before her eyes. She learned the healing properties of foods, herbs and rocks. In her writing she declared: “The earth sustains humanity. It must not be injured; it must not be destroyed." Are there gifts right before our eyes from Mother Earth that we are not seeing today? Let's explore this rich topic and relate it to our own life today.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here. Recently, in some conversations, the 26,000 year cycle that we are now ending has come up. So, I thought I would share a little about what I understand about this cycle. The Cry of Mother Earth is great! The Peril of this time is great. The Purpose of this time is equally as great. Some say that each of us chose to be here...at this time. How can we live rightly? How can we play our part? Tune in. Call in and share your experience.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today, I'll be talking about Spiritual Practices for this time on the planet, with an emphasis on bringing the "heart" into your desire. Although, one might THINK it would be a good thing to develop a spiritual practice to stay more centered and peaceful, if there is no longing in the process, or aspiration in the process, then it's just a "good idea". The heart and the mind need to come together in order for it to be a practice you will stay with long term. I'll also bring some of the Universal Principles or Laws into the conversation, which may be a support to bring out one's longing or aspiration. For me, this aspiration happened so spontaneously for me when I felt the presence of God at age 10. And yet I know for others, the aspiration and longing come over time. In addition, perhaps just recognizing the Universal Laws already in place, may inspire a heart-filled response.
Welcome everyone to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and host of this program. Today, the topic is entitled, Living a Balanced Lifestyle. Do you feel you live a 'balanced life'? Do you balance work and pleasure, quiet time and activity time, sleep and awake time? Each body is different. When we get to know our body, we can discover what works best for us. A balanced body is less stressed and more at peace and you are able to live a more serene life. What is the answer when we are challenged? How do we adapt to stressful times? Is there a one time "fix" for all situations? These are questions we'll explore and consider addressing with the art of self-enquiry.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is about the ABC's of ways we can be with children. Some years ago I wrote out 26 ways of showing a child LOVE. Here are the first few:
I hold my child and all Children in the Heart of Awe!
I hold my child and all Children in the Heart of Beauty!
I hold my child and all Children in the Heart of Calm!
I hold my child and all Children in the Heart of Delight!
Today I'll share all 26 of these and a variety of stories from my experience.
My invitation to you is....
May you hold Your Dear Child…
All of Your Dear Children…
All Children everywhere…
With the ABC’s of LOVE….

Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today I'll share with you a process I developed years ago called: The 10 Minute Miracle: Listening To Children. I've seen the importance of the ART of LISTENING TO CHILDREN, and organically, a process emerged, after many opportunities for listening to children arose. Tune in and learn how you can shift things deeply by the simple act of listening to a child.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here for this program. Today the program will center around the idea of the "mature adult" and a "mature humanity". What are the signs of such a person? What are the signs of a mature humanity? Is humanity acting mature presently as we move through this time of great transition? Know that I have more questions than answers! Please call in and join the conversation. Together We Learn...Together We Grow!!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today, on Thanksgiving Day, in the United States, I decided to talk about having an "Attitude of Gratitude". Have you observed what your default attitude is? What is the attitude, or general "place" you always return to? Do you reside in the place of Fear? or Love? or Gratitude? or Worry? I invite you to observe yourself and see what your natural tendency is? If gratitude is a difficult attitude to develop, I invite you to venture into nature. I posted some gorgeous pictures of nature in conjunction with this program. I find the colors so gorgeous. Also, I want to add that even in the midst of illness, focusing on the positive does make a difference in lifting one's vibration/ energetic level to a higher place. I experienced this years back when I was ill. One can believe that nothing is worthy of gratitude or that EVERYTHING IS WORTHY OF GRATITUDE.Join in the conversation.

Today's program on the Voice of Change is about the honoring and respecting of infants and young children and how that is done through communication and connecting with them. I will share with you excerpts from my booklet on the topic as well as the work of Magda Gerber.
Welcome to The Voice of Change. Today the program will revolve around the process of parenting children in today's society...when there is much challenge going on for most families. After I first posted this program, SO much more has come forth regarding this subject! I'm now seeing three very unique components to this process.
FIRST: Self-care of yourself
SECOND: Monitoring of media along with excellent communication and connection with your child to address media/ challenges/changes in their life
THIRD: Special times with your children to support their choices of expression & free play, exploration & creative, quietude & reflection
In addition, Magda Gerber, author of Dear Parent and an amazing child educarer, pointed out the importance of predictability in the life of young children and I believe it's important in the life of all children. Children do better with a predictable schedule and a sequence of events in their daily life so they know what to expect. Also, I'll share some of the basic ideas from The Power of Showing Up by Daniel Siegel and Tina Bryson.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program will be an overview of the ancient book, The Bhagavad Gita. This text is one of the world’s most read and ancient scriptures. It is the story of a conversation between a reluctant warrior, Arjuna, and his charioteer, Krishna. In 18 Chapters, Krishna speaks to Arjuna on universal principles which contain practical wisdom that can speak to us even TODAY! It answers the questions such as:
Who am I?
Why am I here on Planet Earth?
What is the purpose of this life?
How do I live and act in daily life?
It shows us how to convert our day-to-day life into a spiritual practice and a means of transformation. The Gita enhances one’s existing religious or spiritual practice, it is not a substitute for these. Rather, it is something one can experience directly through one’s own life. This path is as ancient as man himself, it is the eternal wisdom.
Join me for this conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program is about the ART and Practice of Gratitude. Do you sometimes find it difficult to find something to be grateful for when you are in the midst of a challenging time? What are YOU grateful for today? The picture on the front page for this program was taken today in Lithia Park in Ashland Oregon. I find being in Nature so refreshing, renewing and reinvigorating. As we walk our path... we never know what will be around the next bend. Can we learn to enjoy the journey, without expectation? Can we trust the future to unfold perfectly? Do we have FAITH in Life? These are new opportunities for all of us during these days of transition. Together We Learn...Together We Grow! Tune in today and share your ideas, challenges and joys.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Today's program will explore various ways we can bring PEACE into our daily life, so that we can remain centered whatever the task before us is to do. This was inspired by a book written by Deepak Chopra in 2006. In this book, Deepak suggests a different practice for each day of the week. When PEACE is our focus and PEACE is our practice and PEACE is where we place our attention, then perhaps...just perhaps we can carry out whatever needs to be done in PEACE. As I reflect on my life and life in general, I'm observing that many of us are being called to take new risks, step outside our comfort zone, and for what we feel are good reasons. And at the same time, we want to remain centered and stable. So, the question is, can we act in these new ways, uncomfortable ways at times...and still be centered in PEACE? I feel that this is the time to go beyond our usual ways of acting and re-acting. We are treading in new waters these days, and we must remain true to our self, speak up in ways perhaps we've not done before...and still come from that stable, serene place within of PEACE. Join me for the conversation. Call in to 516 453 9142 to share your thoughts.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today we'll talk about the use of Affirmations to support your Meditation practice and/or the direction you want to go. Affirmations can be used to support you in numerous ways. They can be a way of clearing the direction you want to go. They can support your meditation practice, a health practice such as walking, or to support you in another area of your life. We'll talk about writing them as well as speaking them. In addition, I'll continue yesterday's conversation about meditation and share with you some of the 99 benefits of meditation. These range from physiological to psychological to spiritual, and scientific research to back its validity. Meditation has really gone mainstream in recent years. Corporations, professional sports teams and school systems all recognize the value of adopting mindfulness-based lifestyle practices as part of their daily routine. Tune if for this continued conversation about various aspects of spiritual practice.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for this program. This week I'll focus on a variety of Spiritual Practices that allow us to find and maintain a center of peacefulness. In today's world, with constant exposure to messages that evoke emotional responses, we all need to find a way to "REST" from it all and find a place of PEACE. If your inner guidance is saying, take some time out and rest... find a place of peace... find a new place of refuge, why not try meditation. It is as simply as sitting in silence and stillness and just allowing whatever thoughts arise, to arise. In meditation, solutions can arise, peace can come and a new sense of renewal can take place. Although this may not happen immediately, the PRACTICE itself is what shifts our body and our consciousness. Join me for this conversation.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio. Today's program is about the ART of Communicating with Infants and Young Children. Infants, even before birth are feeling, sensing beings! What we say to them and how we treat them matters! The body holds an imprint of all that takes place. Years ago I wrote a booklet on this topic, The ART of Communicating with Infants and Young Children. Today I'll share excerpts from that booklet on simple ways of listening to and communicating with them. In the 1990's I had the honor of studying with Magda Gerber, author of Dear Parent. Her work continues on and is known by RIE, Resources for Infant Educarers. Magda's foundational principle was to show RESPECT to the little ones in a very profound way. Tune in! Call in!
Welcome everyone to another week-end edition of the Voice of Change. Today I will speak about Raising Peaceful Children. This conversation will focus around LISTENING to children, COMMUNICATING with children, CELEBRATING with children and EMPOWERING children. I've had the JOY of raising three children who live amazing lives today. In addition, I've been involved with the education of children in numerous ways over the last 50 years. I'll share some of the ways I've discovered that even difficult conversations can be peaceful ones that turn out to be win-win for all involved. Tune in and join the conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. In today's program I'll tell you a little about a very powerful practice for this time on the planet. It's called the World Peace Meditation. It was brought to the world by Sri Atmananda, an Enlightened Master, and the Teacher of my Teacher Sat Shree. During times of great transition, such as we are experiencing at this time, Enlightened Teachers/ Masters are sent to Earth for the deliverance of good, for the destruction of the evil-doers and for the empowerment of the Right. Thus, both Sat Shree and Sri Atmananda are here now. During today's program I'll share with you some of the Universal Laws behind the World Peace Meditation as well as mentioning again, the extraordinary powers we carry as human beings.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is entitled, "Mother's Earth's Plea"! The Planet we live on is a breathing, living organism. She is crying for her children...for the waters....for the skies...for the soils...for her creatures. Each of us can help beginning TODAY...in little and big ways. Mother Earth is calling to us... To STOP!...To LOOK....To SEE...To BE the change that is needed.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is about the process of choosing to change something in our life. Once we've been inspired to make a shift, then actually making the change is the next step. I've discovered sometimes it's easy...and sometimes very difficult. Today, I'll share with you some of the ways I've worked with this. Sometimes they work! And something they don't! Please join the conversation. Call into 516 453 9142
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted you are here exploring our programming. Today we'll talk about the question: How Do We Live Life Rightly AND How Do We Live Life Wrongly? Are there any "Guidelines" or "Ways" for Living we can depend on? When I say "wrongly", I'm really referring to living in a way that caused suffering. Some say that however we live, we will always learn from it, so we really can't live it wrongly! If we look at the Universal Principles (Laws) we've been discussing as well as Our Human Powers, these can be a starting point for looking at this question. And yet, being human, can we get into patterns that actually take us away from living life "rightly"? What have you learned about living life? Have you found any "Guidelines" for Living that work for you? Join the conversation. Call in: 516 453 9142
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. During this time of GREAT Transition, it is so important to realize the innate nature of us as human beings and how we create our world with the use of these POWERS. David Hawkins, author of Power VS Force speaks of these innate powers. And when a person is stabilized in the Power of Love, his/her influence is much greater than a person coming from the place of anger, shame or guilt. I invite all of us to focus on what we want to create during these times. If you want PEACE... see PEACE, think PEACE and BE PEACE. If you want LOVE...see LOVE, think LOVE and BE LOVE. It's so easy to get caught up with "what if's", fear, doubt and imaginings. However, let us truly KNOW we are each a co-creator and beginning TODAY...NOW to focus on what you truly want to see coming into Existence. Masaru Emoto, author of Messages from Water and the Universe, demonstrated the power of THOUGHT with many scientific experiments. A quote from his book, "What's important for us right now is not to be distracted by social ills and stresses, but to consciously choose the way of life that is aligned with God's intention." Tune in tomorrow and learn more about your Godly Powers and how to create by using them.
Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for this program. Today, I'll share with you two of my favorite poems. One is called READ! I've used it with children and in numerous classrooms over the last 30 years. The images it brings forth are So beautiful. The other one I'll share is by Dorothy Law Nolte and it called: "Children Learn What They Live".
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. Today's program focuses on one of my favorite topics...the Art of Mothering. What does the word MOTHER really mean? What is the role of a mother? Who does this "name" belong to? Does it belong to only those who give birth? Or are "mothers" found throughout society, performing different roles to various people? Does that role end when a child turns 18 year of age? In addition, I'll share the 10 faces of a "mother" as mentioned in the book by Jasmin Lee Cori, about the emotionally absent mother. In addition, I'll share with you the amazing story of Loczy, in Budapest, Hungary, where 70 children who were orphaned, some decades back, turned out to be nourished in amazing ways by peasant women, under the direction of Dr. Emmi Pickler, a remarkable pediatrician. There were follow up studies done on all the children and they turned out to be very productive individuals in society. All who "mother" are extraordinary gifts to society!
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today the topic will be The Art Of Living Life. What does The Art Of Living Life mean to YOU? This is also the name of my website....and so for me, it sums up SO much about life. Topics such as PURPOSE, PRACTICE, LOVE, FORGIVENESS AND CONNECTION will be all part of the conversation. Join the conversation. Please call in and share your ideas. 516 453 9142
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is on the Art of Blessings. Counting one's Blessings has been an idea that has been around throughout the ages. Do you ever reflect on the Blessings in your life? How often we as humans eaily JUDGE ourself or another. Instead, might we BLESS our self, another or the situation? How is this linked to Unviersal Truths?
Join the conversation on November 5th, Thursday at 9 AM Pacific Time.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program revolves around the conversation of WHY would one consider to invest time and effort into developing a daily Spiritual Practice? A Spiritual Practice could be meditation, prayer, chanting, etc. If you find yourself drawn to this topic, a starting point might be to ask yourself one or more of the following questions...
Would you like to be more CENTERED?
Would you like to be more PEACEFUL?
Would you like to be more CONTENTED?
Would you like to be more INTROSPECTIVE... and be able to "see" yourself and your life with more detachment... more compassion... more discernment?
Join me Wednesday, November 4th at 9 AM Pacific Time for this conversation.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to have you join the conversation and programming. Today almost all of us are being touched by the challenges of life, either in BIG ways...or little ones. Challenges within our personal life give us a Wake Up Call! Or, ALL that is happening in the "outside" world... can be disturbing and overwhelming. How do we cope? Hope do YOU cope? Do you have a "tool box" and know how to handle what is arising? Can we come to a place of acceptance? Allowing? and even Gratitude? It's not always an easy path and yet, if we want to live with some sort of PEACE, what else can we do? Last year, I put the following words in the footer on my website. Just now, I'm beginning to see the importance of them...and how they are the basic ways of living.
LIVE
ALLOW
PRAY
ACCEPT
REFLECT
FORGIVE
LOVE
And I want to add one more here... Live in Gratitude!
Can we find a way...through the maze of life.... to Gratitude?
Can the Universal Truths of LIfe... support us during these times of challenge?
Tune in! Call in and Join the Conversation! 516 453 9142
PLEASE NOTE: ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30TH, THIS PROGRAM DID NOT PROPERLY RECORD. THUS I'M RE-DOING THE PROGRAM TODAY. Today's program is focused on the secret world of the unborn child. Years ago (about 2005) I experienced a few extraordinary "flash-backs" to my early life as an infant as well as into life as an unborn child. What I felt and sensed in my body was beyond words. I didn't understand how such remembrances were even possible. Some years later I was introduced to the work of Thomas Verny, a psychiatrist and founder of Toronto's Center for Psychotherapy and Education. In his book, "The Secret Life of the Unborn Child" I came to understand how such experiences were possible and why I felt what I felt.
Sharon Ann Wikoff is the author of three booklets: The Art of Listening to Infants and Young Children, The 10 Minute Miracle with Children and Daddy, Why Am I Different? She can be contacted here on Blog Talk in the COMMENT section for each program or through her website: www.TheArtOfLivingLife.org
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today host, Sharon Ann Wikoff, will share with listeners "The State of American's Children" accordings to the Children's Defense Fund.
If we aren't aware of the situation...how can it be shifted? It can't be! This program is for those you can ...
SEE with new eyes...
HEAR with new ears....
THINK...from a silent mind...
FEEL with an OPEN heart..
and ACT with new understanding!
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. Today's program will revolve around the Universal Principle that LIFE IS PURPOSEFUL. And thus if life is purposeful, ALL that arises is purposeful. When thisTRUTH is deeply embodied, then we come to realize that it is important to come from a place of ALLOWING everything that is arising to have its moment on stage. Yesterday we spoke about RESISTANCE and its many forms. If we give in to such resistance, then we give ourself permission to AVOID LIFE... to hide out...to keep busy....to sleep 15 hours....to fight against what is.....to stay busy and avoid the immediacy of what is happening. We can do it... however, it this really living? Are you playing your role? Are you playing your part in life? Join the conversation and hopefully be inspired to play YOUR role in the transition our planet is going through.
Today's program on the Voice of Change will revolve around RESISTANCE. This topic comes up as the result of us exploring the Universal Principle, WE HAVE CHOICE. Resistance comes up at times as we reflect on a decision we need to make or one we have made in the past and want to continue to make. My spiritual Teacher, Sat Shree says this about resistance. "Resisting creates all the suffering we have or will experience. It is this resistance that keeps us tied to the past, stuck in immature patterns, which we repeat then again and again." In today's program we'll talk about the many forms that resistance can take, such as: confusion, impatience, lack of commitment and procrastination. Sometimes, these can be obvious and sometimes very subtle. Such patterns often begin in childhood as we resist something as a way of staying safe. When we see in our mind's eye, the experience where such patterns began, and we just take the opportunity to "see" it, the hold it has on our life can be released and dissipates.
Welcome to today's program on the Voice of Change. Our conversation will continue today about the Universal Principle that WE HAVE CHOICE. Today the conversation will revolve around the idea of "will". Can we use our "will" to support our decision? And is there a difference between "my will" and "Divine Will"? Join me online or call into the program to speak with me at 516 453 9142.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today we'll explore various "sub-personalities" and the role they play in our lives
and the choices we make. Do you sometimes wear the "hat" of the "leader" or "follower"; the "victim" or the "saboteur";
the "Teacher" or the "Student"? Which one/s is the leader in your life? Call in and share your thoughts. 516 453 9142
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of the Voice of Change, will continue the conversation about the Universal Principle of CHOICE and the process of choosing.

YOU can impact a child as a mother, father, grandparent, friend or simply as you pass him on the street.
Hello Everyone... Thanks for coming to this site and exploring. The conversation presently on the Voice of Change revolves around UNIVERSAL TRUTHS.
Universal Truths are those truths that are true for everyone on the planet... without anything having to change. The one we are exploring right now
is: WE HAVE CHOICE. Although most of us realize this is true, however, I question whether or not we really take advantage of this Truth as well as other
Truths. In this program we'll look deeper into the idea that WE HAVE CHOICE and explore what is the basis for choice and the process of choosing.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today, host Sharon Ann Wikoff will continue the conversation about Universal Truths. What is a Universal Truth? Why are they important? Could they support us creating a Planet of Peace? The subject being brought forth today is: WE HAVE CHOICE. Have you noticed that the choices you have made have created the life you live today? What NEW choice do you want to make so you create the world you wish to live in the future? If you would like to join the conversation please call into 516 453 9142.

Greeting Everyone! Today Vidya Frazier returns to the Voice of Change to continue the conversation about being a LIGHT WORKER on the planet today. Please join us for another wonderful hour with author, energy healer, and transpersonal psychotherapist Vidya.
A Lightworker is one called to bring their light/ gifts to the planet. They come in all forms: healers, musicians, artists, doctors, moms, dads. They support the shift taking place on the planet today in their own unique way.
In this show, I will be interviewing energy worker and lightworker, Vidya Frazier, who has authored several books on the subject of ascension into the Fifth Dimension, which is the process of shifting rapidly into a higher, more evolved state of consciousness. She describes in her books how this process of ascension is currently accelerating and is responsible for much of the chaos and breaking apart of society that is occurring – and also for the wonderful new awakening that is occurring across the planet. This view of current events is actually a very hopeful and optimistic one. We will discuss her most recent book, The Ascension Lightworker Guide: A Handbook for Weary Souls.
Vidya Frazier is the author of three books on the subject of Ascension: Awakening to the Fifth Dimension, Ascension: Embracing the Transformation and Triumph of the Light. As an author, energy healer, and transpersonal psychotherapist, Vidya has offered workshops, classes and public presentations over the past forty-five years on a variety of subjects pertaining to spiritual awakening, drawing on sources from both the East and the West as well as her own inner journey. www.vidyafrazier.com
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and will be presenting the program today. Do you seek to have a greater peace in your life? Do you desire to find something to "hold on" to during these challenging times? Although we may want things to be different, life to be the way it used to be, for now we have to find ways of being with what is arising. It is during such times, that many have a willingness to go beyond themselves and look for something different to bring relief...to take refuge in. Spiritual Practices do just that! Such practices take you into the center of your being, where there is silence and stillness. And if one learns to rest there, then a storm can be going on around you on the outside, but within there is great peace. Today, I'll share with you a variety of practices that may support you in finding that place of peace and stillness within.
Judi Miller, author of Perfect: A Path to Love, Forgiveness and Transformation is my guest today. This life-changing book illustrates the awe-inspiring and miraculous way that the Universe orchestrates our lives toward a state of wholeness, completion and love-whether we are aware of it or not! Judi was a highly successful CPA and corporate finance executive, who unknown to her co-workers, lived in terror of the night and the possibility of sexual assault. Happily married with children, her fears made life a modern-day nightmare, but worse--she had no idea why? And then on Good Friday, something astonishing happened. She transcended into a state of total and unconditional love. And thus began Judi's journey, orchestrated by seen hands that erased her fears, healed three generations of people and souls, guided her to her purpose in life, opened her heart to love and showed that forgiveness is not necessary because we are all so deeply loved and never alone.
Aaron McCormick, author of the new book: Unbounded: Journey to Your Within. It is a guide to the inner navigation system that leads to inner and outer fulfillment, personal responsibility, love and joy. McCormick was raised on the south side of Chicago, in poverty by a single mother with no education, deserted by a father who was likely an undiagnosed bio-polar schizophrenic, and tightly controlled by an extreme fundamentalist religion that allowed no personal freedom whatsoever, including getting a college education or playing sports. Aaron, however, ultimately defined those expectations of failure. Tune in to hear his powerful story and be inspired by his his wisdom.
Today we will be talking with Rosie Turnbull about the life and work of Eileen Caddy, co-founder of the Findhorn Foundation & Community in the NE of Scotland. Eileen has authored many books. Today we'll focus on her daily guidance, as compiled in ‘Opening Doors Within’. This guidance comes through what Eileen called the God within, the still small voice, her inner divinity. We can all access this and be the agents for positive change within ourselves, our immediate surroundings and beyond.
What the world needs today… are Bodhisattvas!
A few weeks ago I read an inspiring article by Jack Kornfield, a leading teacher of Meditation. He was describing the qualities of a Bodhisattva. He said that a Bodhisattva is someone who vows to alleviate suffering and bring blessings to every circumstance. One who chooses to live with dignity and courage and radiates compassion for all…and went on to mention that we can see them all around us now! Isn’t this a lovely inspiration? Have been called to be a Bodhisattva? Are you willing?
Sharon Ann Wikoff has hosted the voice of Change since 2008. She is dedicated to produce inspiring programming for listeners during these times of transition on the planet and to support Mother Earth in her time of need.
NOTE: Although I had a wonderful 43.57 minutes with Vidya today, there were numerous technical difficulties. My apologies! I could not call back into the program after being disconnected. Enjoy our 43.57 minutes together! Sharon Wikoff

Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today's program is to talk about the WAKE UP call we are receiving from Mother Earth! Although many perceive what is happening today on the planet, as a great adversity, is that all it is? Is there a deeper significance that is behind the surface challenges, the inconveniences and all the pain. What brought us to this point on the planet? If we listen, and look at all that is taking place on the planet with NEW EYES, we might see all that has led us to this moment in time. Each of us can hear the WAKE UP call or not. Each of us can play our part or not. The choice is YOURS and MINE, day by day and moment by moment. Tune in! Call in! We'd love for you to add to the conversation.
Today's program, Finding PURPOSE & PEACE during Times of Transition, invites you to find a new way of being during these times of transition. Can you imagine having a sense of PEACE at this time or a sense of PURPOSE during these challenging times? It's been my experience that if I find some small way to make a difference, I stand much easier when times are "stormy" than if I have no direction, no meaningful activity and feel helpless and powerless. Join me to reflect on such possibilities at this time and to be supported to BE your BEST Self during these challenging times. Jyude Allbright will be my guest today.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today, the topic is about creating a life-style that works for YOU? Do you yearn for a less hectic life? Do you yearn to have time to take a walk in nature?

On the Voice Of Change today, Sharon Ann Wikoff will dialogue with Rio Olesky, a practicing professional astrologer since the last 70s. We all have choice. We can choose how to act in each moment, even though we do we can't choose what that moment will bring to us. Today, Rio will discuss the most significant planetary alignments for the New Year. He will address them in terms of their influence on the potential for collective as well as individual experience. He will also delineate ways in which they can utilized either in positive, growth oriented contexts as well as the potential to merely enhance the status quo. Their dialogue will bring these ideas into the realm of how you can live in these times! 2018 no doubt will offer each of us opportunities to live aligned with values such as love or peace, or not. Know that YOU make a difference. David Hawkins in his book, Power VS. Force, states that an individual living at the level of love or peace, counterbalances thousands or even millions living at the level of fear and anger. Tune in and learn how these upcoming planetary alignments may influence us as individuals as well as the planet as a whole and how they can be used in a positive, growth oriented manner.
Rio Olesky has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California and a Master of Arts degree from San Francisco State University. He has been a practicing professional astrologer since the late 70s and has taught astrology classes at Santa Rosa Junior College since the late 70s. He is the author of Astrology of Consciousness, A Manual for the Modern Mystic, How to Practice Being in the Presence of God and The Astroreader. He is a practitioner of Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda. He has been married for 35 years, has 5 children, 7 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. Rio also plays didgeridoo.
Today on Voice of Change, the conversation about Stepping into 2018 continues. The question posed for today is: "What is the "power" you want to step into and why"? And this question, brings up many additional questions, such as: What type of power are you seeking to manifest? What will you do with your power? What is your purpose for wanting power? What is the purpose behind your desire for Power? What difference do you want to make? What is going to give you this power?
No doubt if this topic appeals to you, you want to make a difference in the world! And if this is true, I say to YOU..... CONGRATULATIONS!! Right now, our world needs everyone to become aware of the difference they do make! As each person comes to "know yourself" they are able to bring their unique gifts to the world. Another aspect of this is stepping into your power in the right way. With power comes responsibility. Force (not power) comes from the ego, wanting personal gain for personal reasons. As we look around the world, we can "force" playing out in a variety of ways. Power is of a different nature. When you know the truth of who you are, what lives you, as well as knowing the unique gifts YOU have to offer, then you can use your power in positive ways to make a real difference in the world. Tune in for today's show and/or join the conversation by calling into 845.277.9394.
NOTE: Due to illness this program is being moved to a new day.
Today on the Voice of Change, my guest Kathleen McTeigue and I will dialogue about how we can step into our POWER in 2018. When we take the time to live consciously and aligned with the Truth of who we really are, we know we have the "power of choice" in each moment. We may not be able to control what is showing up, however, we do have the power of choice in every moment. If you wish to step into your power, and want support from "behind the scenes", in other words support from the Universe, you want to align with the creative force of the universe, the force or energy behind all of creation. This force is always desiring to manifest into infinite possibilities. What is your intent for 2018? What do you want to manifest? What is your intention for the following areas of your life; health, wealth, relationships, spiritual growth, career and service? Sharon will share the intention she was holding for herself, in 2006 which brought her into the wonderful world of radio. Tune in for this dynamic conversation of January 1st, 2018 at 9 AM Pacific Time, 12 noon Eastern Time.
The Holidays are approached in two very different ways. Some people LOVE them! Others DREAD them. Times with family and friends, shopping, baking are enjoyed by many. Being alone, having difficulties going on, or having unmet expectations make the holidays a time of great sadness for others.

Teachers from various spiritual traditions have blessed her with their presence, love and wisdom in the process of integration.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for this program with Ali Dryja, entitled, Feeling Our Way Through The Dark.
For many of us, right now is emotionally triggering time to be alive, and eating can be a tempting way to cope with the current discomforts we’re facing globally and personally. In this program, we will explore the value in feeling our way through these times, returning to the body and its true desires, and using our compulsion to eat as an invitation for the inspired action we really need.
Ali is passionate about empowering women through helping them develop loving relationships with their bodies. She believes that learning to honor and listen to the wisdom of our bodies is especially important as women take a more active role in bringing balance to the world.
Ali offers group and 1:1 coaching for ambitious women who struggle with emotional eating, excess weight, or feeling uncomfortable in their skin. She grew up in a high-achieving environment near Boston and worked in the corporate world in New York City, during which time she struggled with multiple eating disorders, laxative addiction, over-exercising, and stress. She now lives on an organic orchard and wildlife haven in the Australian countryside with her soon-to-be husband, and stands for the positive change that’s possible in our lives—and on the planet—when we listen to our bodies.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you today for this program on The 8 Pillars for Good Health.

In today's program we will discuss 7 Pillars for Good Health that YOU are totally in charge of day by day, moment by moment. In order to enjoy life to its fullest, having a healthy body is very helpful. And if we are out of balance, it can be some very basic shifts that can restore the body to health again. Tune in and learn some very simple practical ways of creating health.
In 2002 Sharon found herself unable to walk 10 feet or have the mental capacity to know what to prepare for breakfast or the strength to prepare anything. It was a wake-up call!

Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm your host Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be here with Jyude Allbright. Today Jyude and I will explore the Art of Listening to Your Heart. Have you ever had the JOY of getting an idea very spontaneously and following it and experiencing great satisfaction? When we follow ideas from the "outside" world... often they are not satisfying, not joyful, not right for us. But often life becomes busy and we just stay on the "outside" of ourself, doing our work, doing the necessary errands, interacting on a superficial level with others and not listening to the quieter voice within. Some may not even know that voice within. It takes time to get to know it. It takes time alone to get to know what we feel on a deeper level. And when we do there is a contentment when we follow our inner guidance. There is a peacefulness, a satisfaction, a knowing that this is RIGHT for me. Join Jyude and I as we discuss this ART and share what has helped us discover this path.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff your host. Larry Kiser joins me today for this discussion about the role of a Guru? Although I had been on the spiritual path for several decades, I had never sought out having a Guru. However, once I met Sat Shree and became involved in following his Teachings and came to understand the role the Guru played, he organically became my Guru, my Teacher. In this series of programs this month, I've talked about the importance of seeing the "bigger picture" of becoming aware of what we may not be aware of. Often, we think the only Truth is what we are aware of...our surroundings, our beliefs, our world. When I met Sat Shree and heard him speak in person as well as listening to the numerous recordings and videos he has on his website, I soon realized that he was speaking of a deeper Truth than I had ever been aware of previously. It was very humbling! And at the same time, very inspiring! I came to know that he had traveled the entire distance, from human consciousness to divine consciousness and could support others traveling on that path. At that point, there was no doubt that I wanted his support on my journey.
Larry Kiser a former federal prosecutor, school board member, teacher, and follower of the teaching of the Course of Love, the Course of Miracles and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda lives in Nevada City and spends several days a week with his Guru, Sat Shree near Reno, Nevada. Although I had never sought out having a guru, however, when I met Sat Shree, a part of me knew that this one knew a greater truth and love than I had experienced and I wanted it. I felt drawn to this like a bear to honey. There was no real choice. From that point on there has been a continuous unfolding of the identification with the force the Guru carries.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be with you for this program. Do you ever sense you want to make a shift in your life? to BE in life in a different way? Do you want to be more ALIVE? more ALERT? more PRESENT? Although I was an elementary teacher for years, I wanted something MORE. The first time I ever heard my spiritual Teacher, Sat Shree, speak of coming into "Existence" it caught my attention. I said, "YES, I want that"!
So if you are seeking something more... a different way of Being in the world.. join us for this converation, as we discuss this proces. Jyude Allbright will join me for this conversation
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be doing this program today with Jyude Allbright. As we begin to live more consciously and aligned with our Inner Truth, we begin to take a new look at the beliefs we hold and see them for what they are...either "our" Truth or a belief that isn't ours and we can release. As a human being it is so easy to grow into beliefs are we were exposed to earlier in our life. As children we are very open and naturally feel our parents know best and accept their truths as our truths. Living consciously allows us to take a look at these and keep what is right for us...and allow other beliefs, attitudes or truths to be released. Today Jyude and I will discuss some of the beliefs that we've examined and chosen either to keep or discard. As we've done this, we've been able to step into our own power in a much greater way and create life in a new way. Please join the conversation and call in at: (563) 999.3569
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be offering this program today. Recently we've been talking about seeing a deeper truth than what we know or seeing the bigger picture. This reminds me of the fact that at one time, the world was considered to be flat. (And just now as I reseached this, I learned something new about this theory). If we have an openness, we can more easily see the bigger picture or a deeper Truth when it is shown to us. And yet for some acknowledging that we don't know can be a difficult idea to hold. Today, I'll talk about the qualities of openness and allowing as well as the idea of allowing all to flow through us, without the need to "grab" onto something...and make it real. In addition, I'll talk about the 3 levels of ignorance. I invite you to ask yourself: "Do I always NEED to know? I believe I lived in this frame of mind for some years. However, I've come to understand that acknowledging that I don't know something can allow for a new awareness to come my way and to have a new understanding.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and pleased to be with you for another show. I'm delighted Jyude Allbright will join me again. We are all born into life on this planet at certain time and in a certain place and within a specific family. And most of us grow up accepting that the "circumstances, happenings, and conditions" surrounding us are what is TRUE. We don't usually realize that they are a "relative truth"....a truth in that moment, in that situation, for those people. In order to have a deeper understanding of "the Truth" we need to step back and take a long range view of life AND be open to what took place before what you know. This is not always easily done. However, I invite you to be open to seeing the "bigger picture" in all situations. Yesterday I spend several hours at a Faire where hundreds of people have been drawn to understand the "deeper Truth" in a particular situation and thus are addressing many of the issues that face our cities, our nation and our world today such as violence, environmental health, peace, law enforcement and numerous other situations. If we want to live true to the values we hold for our self and make informed decisions we must have the "whole" picture...not just part of the picture. Tune in today at 1 PM PT and be part of the conversation. The number is (563) 999. 3569
Thank you for joining us on the Voice of Change. Jyude Allbright will join me today as we discuss 5 ways or practices which may ease life during times of transition. Yesterday we mentioned these in our program. Today we will go into greater depth on each of them. During times of transition, one's routine is interrupted, our attention is drawn to all that is happening and in some way we may feel that we need to figure out a solution or at least ponder what might be done about the situation. These practices are ways of bringing a new spaciousness into one's life, so that frustration, over-whelm and fear can be handled in new ways. Tune in as we explore these ideas. Join the conversation and call into the program.
Greetings everyone. Thanks for joining us here on the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and Jyude Allbright is joining me today. As I reflected on my last two programs, suggesting that we may benefit from living more consciously, I was reminded of a talk I heard years ago. This talk reflected on the changes that would be taking place on the planet as we move from the time of the Piscean Age to the time of the Aquarian Age. Although many people live their entire life not caring if they are a Scorpio or Gemini or what their moon or rising sign is, this change in the Ages is important because it changes conditions for the entire planet. And the more you understand what is happening, the more you can go through all the changes more consciously. So, I've decided to talk a little about this shift and give listeners a little background of why it is important to be open to living in a more conscious manner at this time.
So join Jyude and myself as we talk a little about what this shift is taking place and the effects it will have on our planet.
Welcome everyone to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff and delighted to be hosting this program. Jyude Allbright joins me! In this life, we are all on a journey. And on our journey we learn to grow in love, in compassion, in joy, in peaceful and align with our unique purpose. We can not help but be nudged to grow because that is the purpose of life..of living. And yet each has free choice, so some may spiral downhill during their journey. And sometimes it takes a downhill spiral to gain the strength and courage to shift the way we do life. David R. Hawkins, M.D., and PhD. wrote the book Power Vs. Force. And in it he shares a Map of Consciousness. This map talks about the "energy" we give for when we express at different levels. In addition, I'll be sharing with you the difference ONE person makes when they express or live at various levels. Tune in and learn about the difference you make when you express at the level of LOVE.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I am Sharon Ann Wikoff your host. Today begins a new series of programs that revolve around the "ABCs for Living". I invite you to ask yourself, what are the "ABCs of Living" for you? You might ask, what does that even mean? Let me phrase it this way. If you had just 5 minutes to empower someone coming to Earth for the first time, what would you tell him/her about Life? What would you tell him about how to live? What would your "instruction book" include?
As an educator for many years, Sharon taught the traditional "ABCs" to children for years. In elementary education they are the primary focus. And yet, is that a 'right' value to hold? Are the traditional "ABCs"....writing, reading and arithmetic the most important things we should be teaching our children?
I do believe this is the time to see with NEW eyes, to hear with NEW ears, to think with a keen NEW awareness and to act with NEW understanding. I do not believe that we can keep on keeping on doing what we've done in the past. This is a time for CHANGE! I invite you to look around and see if you feel a change of direction is needed? YOU and ME are the ones to make those changes! As each one of us seeks to live aligned to the highest truth we know, we can make a difference. And with that statement, another qusetion arises? What is the highest truth? How do we tell what is best? What are the values that YOU feel are the highest and best? Join me for this conversation and feel free to call in and share your ideas.
Sharon Ann Wikoff has worked with children and families for over 4 decades as an educator and is passionate about discussing life and living!
Today on the Voice of Change I welcome Vidya Frazier, author, speaker and coach. The topic is: Riding the Waves of the Shift as an Ascension Lightworker. We are now fully entering the “Transition Times” of the earth’s ascension into the Fifth Dimension. Disruption, polarization, chaos and conflict are all flaring up in many venues around the world. And all these same processes are also occurring within each of us as individuals. Ascension Lightworkers, in particular, seem to be experiencing great upheavals in their lives. How can we make our way through these challenging personal experiences and still continue to serve the whole in the best way possible?
Vidya Frazier is the author of three books, two on the subject of Ascension: Awakening to the Fifth Dimension and Ascension: Embracing the Transformation. As an author, energy healer, and transpersonal psychotherapist, Vidya has offered workshops, classes and public presentations over the past forty years on a variety of subjects pertaining to spiritual awakening, drawing on sources from both the East and the West as well as her own inner journey. She has recently presented at numerous IONS events, the New Living Expo, and a 5D New Paradigm conference.
Today on the Voice of Change, Jyude Allbright is my guest and she will talk about how to Love Your Addiction, and in the process heal your addiction. How can it get any better than that? In addition, she will be introducing Soul Steps, a 12 step process of recovery.
What would your life be like if you could stop judging addictions and addictive behaviors as wrong and look at what’s been right about them? Could you then experience a huge breakthrough success in your recovery of you, your power, your joy?
Sharon & Jyude will be providing simple, easy and dynamic ways for those searching for a different way of changing addictions & addictive behaviors. Addiction is a distraction - a disconnect from one’s authentic self. Soul Steps provides the “How To Recover” with its first step, “We admitted we were powerful beings – that we created our addictions so our lives appeared to be unmanageable.”
Jyude Allbright will be presenting a workshop on this topic on January 29, 2017 from 3:00 to 6:00 pm at Inner Path in Nevada City, CA. Please sign up at www.sharonannwikoff.com/events. Additional information - 954-464-3266.
Welcome to the Voice of Change. I'm Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of this program. I have a question for you. Have You Ever Questioned Your Spiritual Path? Have you ever thought, "Oh, I should be doing more?" or "I should be further along!" or "I don't know where or how to begin?" For decades on the spiritual path, I was always thinking, EVERYONE was more advanced, more spiritual, and doing things better than I was.
In today's program I will be joined by Jyude Allbright and together we'll discuss the spiritual path and how you can learn to honor your unique journey. Sharon will share with you some of her stories in hopes that they will support YOU in honoring your path, your story, your journey. YOU are the only YOU there will ever be! I am the only ME there will ever be! Let us celebrate that and deeply honor our unique path in life! AND as we honor our path, we each will be a LIGHT for others who follow!

If you deeply desire to live in a more peaceful manner, you may want to look at the thoughts you are thinking and the feelings you are feeling.

In addition, we'll suggest a strategy for you to consider to replace a busy mind, the mind that likes to focus on the negative.

In part 2, we talk about the initial challenges and fears when presented with a dying friend or family member, and how to be more present during this time. We will discuss YOU, as a loved one, and how to really open your heart, be vulnerable, take responsibility for your feelings, and allow healing. There are amazing opportunities at this time. When we find the truth of healing a relationship with a dying loved one, we can then bring that to other relationships for a more joyful and fulfilling conscious existence.

Part 1– Healing the heart of our beloved who is dying
In part 1, we explore the nature of the dying person and how we CAN support them on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. As a loved one by their side, we will discuss the best way to communicate if they cannot. Is it really important to do a life review with them? Should we try to help him or her resolve any issues they may have? How can we help them to have peace in their heart before they die?
A huge shift of consciousness is now occurring across the planet. Some call it the “Shift”; others “Ascension”. It’s creating the extraordinary chaos and uncertainty happening both in the world around us and within many of us as individuals. We are all in a dramatic and unprecedented process of rapid spiritual awakening which is shifting us into a much higher vibration known as the “Fifth Dimension”. Many of us are experiencing Ascension “symptoms” that are causing wondrous new landscapes in consciousness to open—but also experiences of confusion, anxiety and disorientation. On this show, Vidya will share her knowledge, experiences, and wisdom about this phenomenon and offer tips on how to move through these “transitional times” with ease and grace.
Vidya Frazier is an author, energy healer, and speaker who has offered workshops, classes and public presentations over the past forty years on a variety of subjects pertaining to spiritual awakening, drawing on sources from both the East and the West as well as her own inner journey.
Recently, she has written two books on the subject of the global Shift now occurring across the planet: Awakening to the Fifth Dimension and Ascension: Embracing the Transformation. She currently focuses on giving energy healings and workshops on the subject of her recent books, assisting people to understand the extraordinary and sometimes puzzling times we’re now living in. She presents her ideas using the paradigm known as “Ascension”—a dimensional shift she sees humanity making into a level of consciousness that’s been named the “Fifth Dimension.”

Tune in a learn about another way of Being in this world, that brings you closer to your heart's desire.

Welcome to the Voice of Change. Today Jyude Albright and I will be discussing How Are Your Emotions Creating You?
Are you aware that your emotions are helping you create the life you are living? If you love the life you have created – fabulous, you've got it!

The Voice of Change welcomes Marlene Bottenfield to the program to talk about her amazing connection to the natural world. Marlene and her husband Cliff are stewards of 38 acres of pristine land in northern California where they have put in place an array of sustainable living practices.
While they primarily grow specialty mushrooms on their land, they also have rows and rows of vegetables and fruits as well as a host of chickens, goats, and lambs. Two or three years ago when Marlene was harvesting mushrooms in their mushroom house, she heard an inner voice say, “Ask the mushrooms what they want, what would make them happy.” That she says was the beginning of real listening to and honoring their nature friends. Marlene says she and her husband had always considered themselves “nature” people, but this was different, this was the unfolding of a deep awareness.
Marlene has been drawn to nature since childhood. She has been gardening since she was a young girl and as a high school and college student went backpacking in the Sierras almost every week-end. She is
the mother of 4 daughters, two of whom were born conjoined. These girls lived to be 7 years old and were raised in an environment that told them anything was possible. AND they proved this to their mother over and over again. Marlene’s personal integrity has brought into her life many additional extraordinary experiences, such as drawing several profound pieces of art by simply calling on the “unseen world of artists” to direct her.
The global phenomenon of the Oneness Blessing, also known as Deeksha, is an energy transmission passed through the hands of one person to another. The Oneness Blessing is not a religion and requires no allegiance to any beliefs, doctrines, or practices. With surprising simplicity, it opens the door for ordinary people to join in the extraordinary flow of life’s natural abundance, unity, and miracles.
In her book, The Oneness Blessing, Paula Rosenfeld interviews permanently awakened Oneness Trainers whose lives have been transformed through Deeksha. Their clarity, humor, gratitude and inspiration, intimately illuminate what it means to live an awakened life.
Paula Rosenfeld, Awakened Certified Oneness Trainer, is passionately dedicated to helping people become happy, healthy, and fulfilled. She launched her private practice, From The Heart Center, LLC, in 1992. Her vibrational tool kit includes ancient shamanic healing techniques, energy balancing, intuitive consultations, coaching, teaching Oneness courses and meditation, and inspiring people through the written word. Additionally, she leads shamanic journey circles that support direct experiences of healing and guidance through individual communion with spiritual guides. Paula's awakening in 2013 at Oneness University in India ignited an even deeper desire to assist in the transformation of world consciousness. As a Certified Oneness Trainer, she initiates people to become Deeksha Givers, giving the m an opportunity to rapidly grow in awareness and happiness, and to help others grow as well.
Today Sharon Ann Wikoff and Jyude Allbright will talk about "How to be Happier in Today's Unsettling World", creating a Joy-filled world from the inside out. Most of us have been encouraged to believe that it's the "things" in the outer world such as the people in our live, our career, our "toys", our success and/or our money that make us feel happy or not. However, many people from many different cultures are VERY happy and have very little material possessions. So, what makes the difference? Tune in and learn how your choices, moment by moment, can make a difference in the way you see your life and circumstances.

The Voice of Change welcomes Larry Kiser to the program. Today Larry will address our human primal subconscious fears. Larry writes the following about the topic: Subconscious programs are often behind our actions without our even knowing it. History is the culprit. Prior to age nine most children have no filter to help them sort out childhood traumas, mistreatment, misunderstandings and the “feelings” generated in family culture. Primal Subconscious Fears may be the motive behind adult actions without the actor even knowing it.
During the program Larry will discuss how these fears arise, what triggers them and how to recognize them and shift them as they come up. Exploring what the causes of actions such as outbursts of anger, road rage, arguments with partners or spouses , perceptions and judgments at work or the home will be some of the tops of Wednesday’s talk . Larry will discuss various techniques individuals can use to address some of these issues.
Larry Kiser has worked in the healing field for over 20 years. His practice is influenced by study and work with Russian scientists, an ex CIA operative, Mayan Elders, a Shaolin Master, the Emissaries of Divine Light, various spiritual teachers, years of working with clients, and his own Spiritual Guides.

The Voice of Change, hosted by Sharon Ann Wikoff, welcomes Sat Shree to the program today. The title of the show is Awakening is Not a Path.
There is a current misunderstanding about the relevance of the sudden spiritual awakenings that are occurring on the planet these days. These are wonderful, sudden shifts in one’s reality where we break out of the content of us and become the context in which the content of our lives arises. Awakening can temporarily break us out of our identification with our body, mind and personality, providing us a witnessing presence that is free. But this awakening will not last unless one understands what one has awakened to.
ABOUT SAT SHREE:
An architect and community activist living in Nevada, Sat Shree experienced a sudden awakening to the spiritual dimension of existence in 1998. “This state arose suddenly without any effort on my part in the midst of an individual human life in one night in 1998. This ‘awakening’ was a glimpse of an utterly different and radical state of being that I now reside in. However back then it was just the beginning of a process that set in motion a transformation that utterly changed reality as I had known it, a process that continues to this day.”
Sat Shree will be in Nevada City, California and is offering a program on Friday and Saturday, August 21-22. For details please visit his website: www.newdharmayoga.com

KNOWING YOUR VALUES: Today the values being discussed are: PEACEFULNESS, CREATIVITY, and INNER SILENCE.
The Voice of Change welcomes Larry Kiser to discuss the importance of healing childhood emotions and traumas.
Often times as Adults we end up being run by emotional reactions to life circumstances and events and wonder afterwards why our reaction was so violent, so colored by anger or some other emotion. Very likely these reactions stem from family culture, childhood trauma, ancestral influence and past life conditions buried in the subconscious mind. Before we reach the age of 9 it is said we are already programed for the rest of our life unless we receive some assistance. The child’s mind has no filter. During this call Larry will address how these “programs” effect or life and do some clearing processes to “de-program" listeners so that moving forward in life can be easier and not run by unconscious patterns.

The Voice of Change welcomes Suzie Daggett to the program. The title of the program today is: The Delicate Balance of the Soul and the Ego. Learning to listen to the dynamic interchange of the soul and ego, brings new awareness to both head and heart - who do you listen to? How do you make decisions on either simple or difficult situations? Our soul/heart whispers proactive guidance for growth. Our fearful ego/mind shouts loud and reactively. What we do, or choose not to do, can have profound results.
Suzie Daggett writes a question and answer column with Clare, her inner soul & Posey, her ego mind to understand that lovely intersection between soul needs and ego wants. Suzie is an Intuitive Business & Life Consultant and author of PEARLS, 52 Contemplative Insights. Her website is: www.dearsource.com
The Voice of Change welcomes Kurt Abraham. Kurt has been a guest several times on the program. He's studied Steiner’s Waldorf education and taught elementary school for some years. He studied the Alice Bailey books for over 40 years, has written 14 books on Esoteric Psychology and the Seven Rays, and founded the School for the Study of the Seven Rays (a non-profit educational corporation).
Today, he'll be speaking about his latest book, the Mystery and Language of Color. Every thought, feeling, and quality is indicated in the aura by corresponding colors. An intense feeling or thought “colors” a person in a certain way. These can be seen clairvoyantly, but, even without the subtler sight, there are techniques that enable one to see the color and form of thoughts, feelings, and ideas. A growing sense of color is like a growing sense of truly beautiful music that opens one up to subtler levels of consciousness. Intellect and personal desires reveal a certain set of colors, while higher mind and archetypal perceptions display different and more resplendent colors.
Kurt was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and graduated with an MA degree from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Traveled and worked in Europe for five years, where he eventually found links to the spiritual-esoteric traditions, including Ouspensky, Bailey, Blavatsky, and Steiner. Kurt studied Steiner’s Waldorf education and taught elementary school for some years. He studied the Alice Bailey books for over 40 years, has written 14 books on Esoteric Psychology and the Seven Rays, and founded the School for the Study of the Seven Rays (a non-profit educational corporation).
Alice has been deeply connected to the Earth for decades. Her adventures with the animals began when she was a very young child and continued for many decades. Chickens, squirrels, skunks, deer, raccoons and bears graced her path, teaching her many amazing “ways” of the wild. In her adult years she owned mining camps in California, and her too, her deep connection to wildlife continued. Alice’s stories are delightful in nature, and bring a sense of Joy to all who hear them. However, is there a deeper Truth underlying these stories? Are they showing us the possibilities for a deeper connection with the land and our own local wildlife? Tune in, and see what is true for you.
TODAY'S PROGRAM:
The Voice of Change welcomes Alice Thomas to the program. Today's program is about the Heart-Centered Community Animals Create as their territory. Alice is innately intune with the animal kingdom. She has seen over and over again the amazing heart-centered community they create, supporting each individual creature to live freely and be protected by the whole. They share stories. They talk to each other AND they talk to Alice. In addition, Alice has learned to listen to them and understand what they say!
In addition, Alice has created a paper on the "Principals" her stories illustrate and why they are important in today's world. To receive a copy of this please send an email to SharonAnnWikoff@gmail.com after the program airs.
Today on the Voice of Change, Sharon Ann Wikoff, will share and discuss her parenting and classroom teachings on creating a peaceful and happy environment for children. A foundational decision that underlies numerous other decisions for parents and educators is the choice to create such an environment...one of peacefulness and happiness! Such a decision is essential! Then, discovering the values you hold most dear and explore way of living and teaching those values, you do create an environment of cooperation, compassion and caring. In addition, Sharon will discuss other factors such as: looking at what is already working for you in the environment, the role your unique "bottom lines" play in this process and well as how challenging situations can be "moments of impact" which can create significant change. These principals are specific enough to address present-day situations and flexible enough to use well into parenting your adult children!
Sharon Ann Wikoff is a teacher, mother, consultant, writer, EFT Practitioner, and radio host. She holds two teaching credentials and has been working with children and families for over 40 years.

She is passionate about bringing great attention to the state of PEACE so families and educators can create such environments. When we live in a peaceful and happy environment on a regular basis, we can bring that into our outer world and learn to appreciate, honor and respect the importance of finding peaceful solutions to all situations.
The Voice of Change welcomes Larry Kiser to the program today to talk on the subject of Clearing the Pathway for the Inner Divine to be Perceived.
In order for the Inner Divine to be perceived fully, the path must be clear. Larry will discuss this and facilitate a group clearing of unconscious patterns, negative emotions, fears, frustrations, guilt and past life trauma, clearing the path to the Inner Divine for participants. Listeners will be guided in learning how to recognize their “body confirmation” that their Higher Self has allowed such clearings to take place. Larry will also give practical suggestions on how to connect to the Higher Self of You and how you can enhance that connection day by day.
Individual Clearings/Healings: In addition, as time allows, Larry will invite individuals to bring something to his attention that they would like to see shifted and he will offer a clearing for them. As he works with one individual, his clearings like be applicable to all those present.
Larry Kiser has worked in the healing field for over 20 years.

Sharon Ann Wikoff, host of the Voice of Change, welcomes Mari Perron to the program. Mari is called the First Receiver of the book called A Course of Love. After having studied A Course in Miracles for two years straight and reading it through 7 times, she was given an amazing gift, the "knowing" that she was to receive the follow up book to the Course in Miracles, A Course of Love! Some months later, the Course began coming to her and for three years she took the dictation down word for word. Now, 17 years after she heard the first words, and fourteen years since the work was first completed as three books: the Course, Treastises, and Dialogues, A Course of Love has been republished in a 674 page combined volume. Today Mari and Sharon will share a conversation about this heart-felt book, some of the concepts within it and Mari's amazing journey in her role as First Receiver in this process.
Mari Shares the following Overview of A Course of Love: If we’re going to be who we are in a way that does not disregard either our humanity or our divinity, a way that does not disregard each other and the world, we need to start with our hearts. Love gives reason its foundation. Joining heart and mind in wholeheartedness, which is the aim of the first of the three books of A Course of Love, is called the first union. Through this union we are no longer divided against ourselves. A true Self replaces the ego or false self that we once viewed as ourselves, and the Treatises, the second book, leads us through that change. The third book, The Dialogues, takes us to the mountain top for a 40 Day experience of transformation, but does not leave us there. Our return to level ground symbolizes the way of incarnation, the joining of the human and divine that makes us creators of a new world.

Today he teaches workshops where people learn how to do self-healing and assist others to heal themselves. Larry will talk about the principles behind the following two statements: You are greater than you think you are...with abilities beyond what you think you have AND why you have the power to heal! He will offer an energetic clearing for listeners to assist them in realizing their potential. Larry’s deep understanding of the body’s fields of energy and the principles of quantum physics allows him to facilitate release of the deep patterns of memory that influence our life issues and capacities --be they mental, physical, emotional, psychological, psychic, spiritual, or karmic.
Today I welcome to the program Jyude Allbright and Kika Silva. The conversation they will have revolves around The Human Touch That Heals. Research shows that hugging is extremely effective at healing sickness, disease, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress. Virginia Satir, a leading family therapist, suggests that we need to get 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 hugs a day for maintenance, and 12 hugs a day for growth. Does our society provide this for us? Are you getting enough hugs? enough touch?
Do you know that infants who are not held, touched, often die because of that lack of intimacy? Join us in discussion with Jyude Allbright and Kika Silva of blog talk radio’s “Awareness Changes Truth” as they share awarenesses about human touch and how it eases pain, heals and empowers us.

Larry Kiser, Chinese Energetic Practitioner, will join me on the program today to discuss the Reclaiming of Self Esteem. Larry will introduce the idea of Timeless Awareness and his intention for the call is to support listeners in releasing old patterns of inner conflict through immediate corrections at the subconscious level. Thus listeners may actually have a healing while listening to the call!

In addition, Self Esteem is greatly enhanced with the healing of major life events such as divorce or illness, inner conflicts as well as well as the healing of life shaping events such as conflicts with peers, parents, teachers or one's boss.
After the healing from Larry, listeners are welcomed to share their experience and how they NOW feel.

Today on the Voice of Change, it's my pleasure to welcome back to the show Jyude Allbright and her radio partner Kika Silva. The topic of the program is:
What In The World Is Going On?
We are living in crazy times – bizarre weather patterns, airplanes dropping out of the sky, beheadings in the Middle East and much free floating fear and anxiety. Keepers of the Truth, Kika Silva and Jyude Allbright, will bring to light their truth as they share information on the shift that is currently occurring on Planet Earth and what you can do to remain sane and stable. Jyude and Kika are co-hosts of blog talk radio’s, “Awareness Changes Truth,” airing on Friday nights. Their mission is to provide a platform for listeners to come to the awareness of who they truly are.
Jyude and Kika are champions of choice. With awareness come choices and new possibilities. Because they both have lived repression, Kika growing up in a third world country and Jyude being imprisoned by her family's strict Catholicism, their mission is to create the awareness so you can discover your truth and live in joy and freedom. They co-host blog talk radio’s “Awareness Changes Truth” and can be found at www.awarenesschangestruth.com.
The Voice of Change welcomes Larry Kiser back to the program. The title of this program is The Power of your Mind and Heart to eliminate Emotional and Physical Pain Instantly! Innate within everyone is the ability to change whatever bothers you on the spot. A bold claim, yes, but provable , through body and feeling confirmation. A few simple self tests can instantly demonstrate this fact. While explainable scientifically it is also of the mystical realm because it takes place in the holographic energetic and electro-magnetic fields.
TODAY'S PROGRAM: Today Larry will be discussing the importance of acknowledging one's feelings-the natural ones originating in the HEART! Often times feelings have been buried, forgotten or avoided! There are many reasons for this happening. Such of them are: Fear, trust, trauma and embarrassment. In order to return home to our true Self, we must begin to notice what we feel! This takes us to "living" in our heart. In addition, Larry will lead us in a short meditation connecting listeners to the "heart-beat" of the planet...the resonances of the electro-magnetic field of Earth. When we are in "this" space...we truly feel our best!

The Voice of Change welcomes Suzie Daggett, author of PEARLS ~ 52 Contemplative Insights offers practical life advice and timeless spiritual wisdom.
Suzie Daggett writes, speaks and teaches about Source energy and soul ~ human interactions sharing musings for everyday living. The title of our program today is, Small Steps to the Real YOU! Suzie says that life will change when small, purposeful, positive steps are taken to discover your soul’s desire. Being aware of your soul’s needs creates a life full of deep inner adventure and expansion. As humans learning to be close to Source energy and love, our soul whispers proactive guidance for growth. Our fearful ego/mind shouts loud and reactively. What we do, or choose not to do, can have profound results. Stretch, learn, seek and grow in your way. If confused about the difference between the soul and ego, remember, fear/ego constricts and love/soul opens. It is that simple. It is that hard.
Suzie Daggett writes a question and answer column with Clare, her inner soul & Posey, her ego mind to understand that lovely intersection between soul needs and ego wants. Suzie is an Intuitive Business & Life Consultant. More at dearsource.com

Today I welcome Carolyn Anderson to the program. The title of the show is, "Birthing a Universal Humanity." Many great evolutionary spiritual pioneers, including Teilhard de Chardin, Sri Aurobindo, and Barbara Marx Hubbard, have predicted the rise of an “ultrahumanity” – a new form of Divine human who would eventually manifest a new body and a universal intelligence. Some have called this a “gnostic human” or a Universal Human or Homo luminous. By whatever name, the description is the same: this is a Whole Being who feels connected through the heart to all life and is awakening to the impulse to express unique creativity in service to all life. There is clear evidence that this new species is being born in large numbers at this time – as circumstances on Earth dictate that we must either evolve or face possible extinction. Join Carolyn Anderson, co-creator and editor of the 52 Codes for Conscious Self Evolution to hear more about this remarkable breakthrough in consciousness.
Carolyn Anderson is a co-founder and the Director of Global Family and a co-founder of Hummingbird Community in northern New Mexico. Educator, author, speaker, and social pioneer, Carolyn is committed to the awakening of humanity to its full potential. She is a co-author of The Co-Creator’s Handbook, the editor and co-creator of the 52 Codes for Conscious Self Evolution with Barbara Marx Hubbard and a partner in an entrepreneurial venture called Living Co-Creation. She has a Bachelor’s degree from Stanford Universityand a Master’s degree from San Jose State University.

Welcome to Blog Talk Radio and the Voice of Change. Rivka Kawano and I are coming together to host 4 radio programs on PEACEFUL PARENTING PRACTICES. We are also hosting a 30 Day Parenting Challenge* for Parents, running from October 1 through October 30.
KNOWING YOUR FAMILY CORE VALUES: When you take time to discover the Core Values you and your spouse hold more dear, parenting becomes much easier. Knowing your values makes it easier to say "yes" and "not" when situations arise. Also, when each parent understands the values they hold most dear, as a person they can be more easily understood. Also, recognizing what is important to each of your children, gives you a deeper understanding about their needs and preferences.
SURPRISE TOPIC: Each week we'll have a 2nd topic of discussion. This one will be a surprise! But you can trust it will be about a Peaceful Parenting Practice that will add greatly to you family life.

"YES" ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE FAMILY: A "YES" environment is one that allows a person to thrive. When children have "YES" environments in their home, they are able to entertain themselves as well as playing with other children nicely, for the most part. "YES" environments also lead to independence for children. Parents, too, need "YES" environments, designed especially for their needs and desires. Such places can be created in a small apartment or a huge house. Such environments can be a permanent place in the home or temporary. Tune in, we'll discuss all this and more!

PRACTICE 5: As a family do you have any "bottom lines"? A "bottom line" is something that you feel very strongly about.

When you know what you will not tolerate or what is very important to you, that supports you in creating the values most important to you and your family.

The Voice of Change welcomes Phil Caylor. The program is entitled: Awakening the Heart: the Fundamentals. Awaking the Heart is what we are here to do. Love is the way to the oneness and peace of mind that we all are seeking. We will look at the fundamentals of the awakening process and learn how to apply them to our lives. You will learn powerful ways to release whatever is in your way of being happy and successful. You will learn how to enter into the oneness space and learn how to love yourself just the way you are.
This process, Evolutionary Yoga, is a way to experience and cultivate our oneness. One of the fundamentals of awakening is that we are here to awaken each other together. I see one of the next steps in our evolution of consciousness is to get together in tribes to learn to heal ourselves and each other, to love ourselves and each other, to help each other be successful and happy. The way to the oneness that we all crave is through the primordial love that is in our hearts. We open the light of the love in our hearts thru loving.
Since the early 1960’s Phil Caylor has had a vision of being a part of creating a better world in which we learn to love ourselves and love each other. This quest has led him to be a healthcare provider beginning in 1971. In 1976 he founded and directed the first state certified Holistic Health training school in Santa Cruz, California. The training included many forms of body work, nutrition, stress management, qi gong to name a few. At present he practices Acupuncture, spiritual development, advanced massage and nutrition.

Her stories are authentic and show what is possible!
Alice has been deeply connected to the Earth for decades. Her adventures with the animals began when she was a very young child and continued for many decades.

The Voice of Change brings to the air Abraham Entin, a student of Rudolf Steiner for 40 years and frequent speaker on the issue of corporate control of our society. The topic: Spirit and Revolution-Rudolf Steiner on Social Transformation.
Abraham Entin has been involved with social transformation since the Civil Rights and Anti-war Movements of the 1960's. He founded "Move to Amend Sonoma County". He is also a singer, dancer and song-writer and, sometimes, a comedian. He has been married for 38 years and has 3 children and a grandchild.
Entin asks: Are events on our planet controlled by some invisible force-whether God(s), the force of History or the Hand of the Market?? Or are we human beings responsible for what happens in our world? How can we come to an understanding of how decisions are made in our World. How can we built a freer, more equitable and sustainable planet for everyone? How do ideas about the Spiritual nature of human beings play a role in building a Movement to achieve this positive social transformation that we are seeking?
Tune in for this hour conversations with Abraham. If you are local to Sonoma County, he will be holding a one-day seminar on this topic at the end of April. Details will be shared during the show.l

Chickens, squirrels, skunks, deer, raccoons and bears graced her path, teaching her many amazing “ways” of the wild. In her adult years she owned mining camps in California, and her too, her deep connection to wildlife continued. Alice’s stories are delightful in nature, and bring a sense of Joy to all who hear them. However, is there a deeper Truth underlying these stories? Are they showing us the possibilities for a deeper connection with the land and our own local wildlife? Tune in, and see what is true for you.
The Voice of Change welcomes Alice Thomas to the program. Alice has led a most remarkable life, one with a deep deep connection to animals that live in the wild. Alice has had the joy of being invited into the “inner world” of animals such as squirrels, chickens, foxes, bears, frogs, raccoons and skunks. She’s learned to listen to them, understand the way each species communicates and has been ‘asked’ by various animals at different times, to help with the raising of their young. Her stories are authentic and show what is possible!

The Voice of Change brings to the air Abraham Entin, a student of Rudolf Steiner for 40 years and frequent speaker on the issue of corporate control of our society. The topic: Spirit and Revolution-Rudolf Steiner on Social Transformation.
Abraham Entin has been involved with social transformation since the Civil Rights and Anti-war Movements of the 1960's. He founded "Move to Amend Sonoma County". He is also a singer, dancer and song-writer and, sometimes, a comedian. He has been married for 38 years and has 3 children and a grandchild.
Entin asks: Are events on our planet controlled by some invisible force-whether God(s), the force of History or the Hand of the Market?? Or are we human beings responsible for what happens in our world? How can we come to an understanding of how decisions are made in our World. How can we built a freer, more equitable and sustainable planet for everyone? How do ideas about the Spiritual nature of human beings play a role in building a Movement to achieve this positive social transformation that we are seeking?
Tune in for this hour conversations with Abraham. If you are local to Sonoma County, he will be holding a one-day seminar on this topic at the end of April. Details will be shared during the show.l
Today the Voice of Change will have several guests who will share their insights and experiences about Service: The ACT of Giving. Giving can take many many different forms. It can be helping a friend in need, volunteering for an organization, creating a CD for a friend, rescuing abandoned animals, counseling friends in need or planting trees for the forest department. Mahatma Gandhi said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service of others." Similar saying can be found in many religious and spiritual teachings. Guests will share their experience of "giving" and the benefits that have come their way as the result of such service. Have you had the experience of losing yourself in some way, only to truly "find yourself"? If so, call in. We'd love to hear from YOU! Tune in for this wonderful hour of conversation with host, Sharon Ann Wikoff.
Today the Voice of Change welcomes Suzanne Murray speaking on the subject of Living from Beingness - Tapping into Who We Really Are :
Suzanne Murray is a gifted empowerment, creativity and writing coach, writer, poet, EFT practitioner and intuitive healer. She has been on the long slow road to awakening and learning to live from a place of Beingness or the Higher Self. Her connection to Nature, experience with creativity and explorations into the mystery has given her insights, wisdom and understanding of what is being asked of humanity in this time of great change.
Regarding Today's Program: As French theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 75 years ago,”We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” That quote has been frequently used in the past decade to emphasize the truth of who we really are. We have reached a pivotal time of global change so that now really is the time for all of us to awaken to our power of the divine being of love and light we truly are and become aware of how we can direct consciousness to assist the Earth and the world at this critical time.
Suzanne will discuss what that means, what that looks like and offer some tools to help.
Today Sharon Ann Wikoff will share with listeners the story, Daddy,Why Are We Different?" This is a gentle and loving story, telling a little boy, in ways that he can understand, WHY he is different from his father... because he was not circumcised! Often a family will choose to have their son circumcised, just because they want him to resemble his father. Now, more and more families are coming to understand the trauma that routine circumcision puts a child through for no valid reason, and are saying NO... Do not cut my child. We must re-think traditions, especially traditions which inflict great pain. In addition, Sharon will be sharing 10 reason NOT to circumcise your child, from the website, www.Intact America.com
