Deeper Days can help you keep your wits about

you and find inner calm. This isn’t your typical

guide to yoga, describing physical postures like the

downward-facing dog. Instead, it goes back to

what yoga is truly about and focuses more on the

spiritual and mental.

This collection of daily messages to reflect on in a

moment of stillness is structured on the eight

limbs of yoga. There’s one for each day of the year

and they also offer practical advice for

incorporating the concepts into how you live your

life. They’re not numbered according to the

calendar, though, so you can start your journey on

any day you choose and complete it at your own

pace. Deeper Days is not just for practitioners of yoga or for the spiritually minded. It is a book that

all of us can use to find inner calm and see the love all around us.

“When the Mask Slips, The HealingBegins”: Dr Clare Anyiam-Osigwe’s New Book Clarity Leads the Silent Strong Backto Wholeness

LONDON, UK — July 7, 2025 – Withwisdom earned through trauma, triumph, and radical self-healing, Dr ClareAnyiam-Osigwe releases her soul-baring new book Clarity, a modern manual forwomen rebuilding their lives from the inside out. Drawing from her roles as afilmmaker, skincare innovator, and emotional wellness coach, Clare offers abalm for the high-achieving woman who’s spent her life being everything foreveryone—while silently losing herself.

Clarity chronicles Clare’s quietunraveling after two decades of relentless success: the award-winning films,the global skincare empire, the public praise. But behind closed doors, she wasburnt out, heartbroken, and unexpectedly struck with Bell’s Palsy, a conditionthat left one side of her face paralysed.

“I could no longersmile through the pain—because half my face physically couldn’t move,” Clareshares. “It was divine intervention. A forced pause. My healing began themoment I stopped performing strength.”

Her experience places her alongsidepublic figures like Lil Nas X and Bristol Palin, who have also broughtattention to this misunderstood condition. Clare now uses her platform toadvocate for global awareness of Bell’s Palsy and better access to integrativetreatment through the NHS, especially for women and underrepresentedcommunities. This echoes her earlier mission as founder of Premae—the world’sfirst luxury allergy-friendly skincare line—which earned her a place among theUK’s Top 20 Natural Health Experts.

While writing Clarity, Clare continuedher creative leadership. She directed actress Nikki Sanderson during Hollyoaks’gripping body dysmorphia storyline, holding space for emotional honesty on andoff set. She also introduced singer Jamelia to acting, casting her in apowerful role as Dr Sharon. Off camera, Clare offered spiritual guidance asJamelia navigated a painful second divorce, organising 6 a.m. prayer calls andintimate sisterhood dinners that became lifelines.

These moments are the beating heart ofClarity—a book that shows strength not as perfection, but as community,vulnerability, and spiritual realignment.

“We talk about softlife,” Clare says, “but few of us have a blueprint for living it. Clarity isthat blueprint.”

Inside the Book:

● Clare’s quadrant healingsystem: Mind, Body, Soul, Spirit

● 40 scripture-based affirmationsfor anchoring in faith

● Journaling prompts and ritualsto dissolve burnout, anxiety, and emotional fatigue

● Natural wellness tips rooted inClare’s 20+ years in allergy-safe skincare and nutrition

Clarity is more than a memoir—it’s amovement. A conversation. A call to come home to yourself.

Now available at Amazon, Waterstones,and www.claritybook.co.uk.

NEW “EROTIC YET ALARMING” SEXUAL MEMOIR,

CARROTS: TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A HOLLYWOOD SEX ADDICT,

RELEASED BY ONE OF HOLLYWOOD’S LEADING PUBLICISTS

Beverly Hills, CA, WINTER 2022 – “Dan Harary sure knows how to tell a story! His book, Carrots: True Confessions of a Hollywood Sex Addict,is a collection of stories that present the sad but truthful stories behind the relationships he has had with women, lots and lots of women, his whole life. It’s a real page-turner! His vulnerability is palpable and there are points where you don’t know if you should be laughing at him or crying with him. He shares a lifetime of unmet sexual needs and desires that led him to out-of-control sexual behaviors and a detailed sex-addiction that are both erotic yet alarming at the same time. The disconnect between his infatuation with fantasy Playboy Playmates and Supermodel types and the reality of finding a true loving, caring life-partner, is heartbreaking. But, if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself rooting for him the whole way through this truly unique and highly compelling memoir!” – Carol Hunt, Co-host of The Sexy Lifestyle Podcast, Montreal, Canada

---

During Summer, 1979, when he was 23 and living in Long Branch, New Jersey, a few blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, author Dan Harary found a sign on the boardwalk that read “Spiritual Advisor.” Having never encountered such a place before, and on a whim, he entered. A heavy-set, middle-aged woman stared at him for an uncomfortably long minute, then spoke firmly: “Many women are attracted to you,” she declared. “But something GOES WRONG with EACH ONE you meet.” Leaning closer into him, she added, “The women you desire somehow elude you—they remain just beyond your reach.”

Her words were so completely accurate, Harary almost fell off his chair. How could this total stranger know his entire life story? He’d just walked into her shop at random. For all these many years since, he’s been wondering why he didn’t ask her the cause behind the very peculiar fact that the women he most desired (since early childhood) constantly seemed to elude him?

As Harary explains, “CARROTS is about the many, many women I’ve loved and lost, wanted to love but couldn’t for various strange reasons, or was never able to love at all. In the book, I also talk about 25-year-long, undiagnosed depression, my troubled marriage, my 20-year-long struggle with sex addiction, and what I have become convinced is a Past Life Curse that was unfortunately bestowed upon me at birth.”

Understanding and nourishing your erotic nature begins with self love.  Expressing your voice and manifesting your actions requires accessing the full energy of the body known as Chi or sexual energy.  This has nothing to do with sex or a relationship.

So you think love conquers all, think again, takes a lot of work to keep it balanced, fluid and sexual.

I personally feel with all the social media we are beyond pickup lines.. How about just introducing yourself. 

How to master the art of Pickup Lines.....the opening line can make or break the continued conversation. I recommend choosing words that connect to the heart and make the person feel special rather than the old sexual objectification lines. Appreciate and admire the person you are targeting to strike up a conversation.  Focus in on compassionate words, or compliments to their talents or something . Make it personal, lite and humorous. Keep away from negative or complaining conversations.

Is Casual Sex Emotionally Healthy?

Yes and No

Your real freedom lives within the emotions and sex is a catalyst to get you there

To much casual sex suppresses the emotions which can get patterned and fall by the wayside

There is a resiliency that forms and a growth but emotions need expression.

Unmet emotions can surface later in life.

Attachment theory believes that human beings evolved to form lasting relationships which contradicts casual sex

Casual sex should be communicated so there are no expectations and one should be open minded to take part in this type of relationship.

Emotional support from like minded individual who wants to be a part of your growth and development.

Discover Joyous Love Host Anita DeFrancesco Talks about her True Crime book she authored on a first cousin murdered 1985.

Episode #34

When Donna Gentile, escaped from a home for delinquent girls and made her way to San Diego she had big dreams. She worked in security for a while and even dreamed of joining the police department. But things didn’t work out as she planned. Donna, like many other innocent runaways, became a victim of the street walker life. While in survivor mode she was groomed, exploited, and coerced into prostitution, a path that took control of her life and ultimately led to her death at the age of twenty-two. Donna allowed herself to be befriended by several police officers thinking that this would afford her some protection in her dangerous life on the streets. Instead she was harassed and ultimately victimized by some of the same police to whom she had turned for help. But Donna was a fighter. Rather than taking the abuse, which included sexual harassment, she reported it to the San Diego Police Department. She testified against two officers, one of whom lost his job on account of her testimony. Her life became further complicated when the Internal Affairs Division exploited and coerced her into becoming a police corruption informant . She was murdered with gravel stuffed in her mouth and her autopsy was the first and only to be sealed in San Diego. Why? Someone wanted to silence Donna. But who?

“By definition, a fearless woman is strong when it comes to facing hard situations. They are confident in who they are and what they believe, and in their example of fearlessness, they encourage others to be courageous and make a difference. While many think of men first when it comes to these strong figures, there are also a number of important women in the Bible who inspire, not only because of how they lived but also because of their rock-solid faith, even in some of the toughest of circumstances, because they fought injustice and dared to lead. We can learn a great deal from their stories.”

– 22 Fearless Daughters of the Bible

The Donna Gentile Story is the author’s first publication within the genre of true crime. It is a true story, a story of tragedy, the story of a first cousin, a young woman, loving and kind, but silenced, abandoned when she speaks of her hardships at home, from there to exploitation, prostitution and death, a murder never resolved.Anita DeFrancesco has also written her own true story. A two-time global author, public speaker, workshop leader and facilitator. She is the author of “Live Free — Re-create and Liberate Your Life,” her own journey, a return from devastation. Anita lives, writes, and speaks as a woman who has not only survived her own challenges but has also grown from it and re-created her life journey. She has used her painful and tragic experience to help other women and girls.Her extensive service includes UCLA/The Rape Foundation, Santa Monica College, Widener University, WOAR, The Boys and Girls Club, Amity Foundation, Amistad de Los Angeles, The Clare Foundation, Share, DiDi Hirsch, and many others including Los Angeles’s “Children of the Night,” founded by Dr. Lois Lee, an organization that rescues child prostitutes from pimps and organized child sex traffickers. Early on Anita created a drug-free group for teenagers called RAP.

He teaches people how to "dump their junk" with his EMOTIONAL LYPOSUCTION techniques which takes minutes and one is relieved from anger, bitterness, grudges, abandonment and rage.

He began his Tai Chi career in 1974 in Chicago. I studied and teach Temple Style Tai Chi Ch’uan as taught by Master Waysun Liao. I studied with two of his top instructors and received corrections from him in a class for about 18 months. You might have read his book entitled “The Tai Chi Classics” published by Shambala Press.

He took Tai Chi practice very seriously from the beginning. In a short while, my practice had developed into a full time job, requiring between 6-10 hours per day of personal practice. While others were developing careers and families, I was busy developing my Tai Chi. I excelled and was passed from teacher to teacher within The Temple Style Tai Chi Ch’uan System.

He had about 100 private consultations with Master Liao. He never checked my technique. We always talked until all my current questions were completely answered. He never held back from me. In 1977 I asked Master Liao, “what level am I equal to?” Even though I was only in my third year of training, his response was “equal to a 15-20 year student.” That was in 1977.

He is proof that anyone can become good at Tai Chi. You don’t need natural ability, special physical skills, innate athleticism, good genes… All you need is to practice, follow directions, and don’t stop learning. Oh yeah, burning desire would be helpful.

Temple Style Tai Chi Ch’uan as passed from Master to disciple is a real Tai Chi system. It includes all aspects of the highly revered and famous art. It includes forms, standing and sitting meditations martial art applications and fighting, two person sensitivity training and high performance endurance training. Rarely will you find a Tai Chi system like this. Masters from all over the country come to study with me on an ongoing basis.

He was originally taught Chi Kung as “the icing on the cake” to my professional Tai Chi training. These energy cultivation techniques were usually withheld and taught to only a chosen few. I was one of those few. Now, these techniques, Tidal Wave™ Chi Kung, Mind Light™ Nei Kung and most of Temple Style Tai Chi Ch’uan, are available on video and in special workshops to those interested in learning these powerful, internal techniques to quickly and permanently change their lives for the better.

Guest: Randolph Pitts: Topic: Sensuality

In this episode Randolph Pitts speaks with me on Sensuality and why he believes its important to focus on sensuality. It is not only a plus for good sexuality but rather for feeling the essence of life. Sensuality fine tunes the senses; the hands and tongues have a million ways of giving and receiving pleasure. Lovemaking can be a piece of classical music that travels through a vast landscape of feelings and sensations, of moods and emotions. But to honor the senses one must express the nature of their being in parallel with the nature of the organism of the earth.

Randolph Pitts holds Summa Cum Laude degrees in Social Psychology and Egyptology from the University of California Berkeley, and a Masters Degree in Motion Picture Production and Entertainment Law from UCLA. He has also done advanced research for the Department of Psychology at UCLA, concentrating on couples and relationships dynamics. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and the American Philosophical Association, the organization of university professors of Philosophy. He is also an associate member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Randolph has been a top executive at several entertainment companies, including a ten year stint as Chief Executive Officer of the company that produced Leaving Las Vegas for which Nicolas Cage won the Academy Award as best actor. He has a lifelong interest in the relationship between philosophy, psychology and history. He is the founder and host of the Explore Ecstatic Sensuality podcast.
