Pat's take on life in the days of Covid19 are priceless and legendary. Listen to the recording on itunes.
Forget for a moment the prevailing notion that you can only manage your anxiety through endless visits to your therapist’s office and daily cocktails of psychiatric medication — what if you could put yourself back in the equation?
What if you could learn to manage your fear better by changing your thoughts and beliefs about it? What if you could turn down the firehose of overwhelm you experience so often? You can.
More than 17% of Americans fill at least one psychiatric drug prescription each year. This would be just fine if medication were actually solving mental illness, but it seems that’s not the case. Medication is just one potential piece of the puzzle; we can’t keep discounting our ability to influence our own conditions.
Through the latest research, personal anecdotes, and a heavy dose of practicality, this book discusses that influence and teaches you:
-Where anxiety comes from and how to stop perpetuating it
-10 crucial steps for mitigating anxiety during stressful situations
-How to leverage fear into a vehicle for personal growth
-How to stop fighting yourself and start living again

“One ordinary girl, one extraordinary moment”
There are three things everyone notices about Alice.
-
Her super-hot rugby boyfriend.
-
Her sophisticated, totally gorgeous best friend.
-
Her very noticeable 38-inch long legs.
Alice is tall — just under six feet to be exact — but her self-esteem couldn’t be smaller. When her relationship starts wavering, Alice’s perfectly beautiful best friend somehow convinces her to join a modelling competition, “for a confidence boost.” But Alice is just a normal girl; she loves ice cream too much, has an unhealthy addiction to American TV and lusts after the elusive thigh gap. She can’t even walk in heels, let alone in a bikini, but she finds herself joining Runway Models anyway.
The finale is only a few months away.
Will Alice catwalk her way to self-confidence or fail, proving everyone right?
People can surprise you.

Mark Collins is a healer, teacher, writer on Quantum Love. What is Quantum Love?
It is just the realization that our consciousness is connected to higher realms, non-physical planes of higher and more positive vibration, and that we can bring those positive vibrations, that love into this world with focused intent, through the sacred space of the heart - what I call the Heartspace Portal. The philosophy of Quantum Love is that this divine love is an alchemical power which we humans can use to positively transform our individual lives. And by doing so, will automatically change the entire world for the better via the Bhodisattva effect. We can all live a life filled with love, peace and harmony, as soon as we realize that we are the ones we are waiting for, that we can all co-create a better reality using our capacity for compassion, empathy, caring and community. Unconditional love is an attitude, a good and necessary one. While divine love is a resource, it's the unique gift that humans can transmute this reality with, it's how we can bring heaven to earth, NOW.

Brian continues his discussion about his new film "24 to Heaven"; the story of South Boston, Massachusetss champion boxing family, the Attardo's.
With precision accuracy and laser-like insight, Brian's analysis of all the components of urban ethnic and factory life paints a gripping story of boxing's rise and fall in post-war Boston. His academic background as historian, scholar and athlete provide the essential tools necesary to make dialectical connections between semingly extraneous variables to synthesize a compelling argument as to nobility of boxing not only as sport but, in addition, as art and spiritual practice, and the reasons for its growth and development as well as its demise and fall.
By focusing his attention to a particular family in a strong ethnic neighborhood over two decades, he is able to highlight the individuals, the sport itself, and the concomitant effects it had on all inhabiting an urban society during the post-war period.
Boxing, itself, becomes a character in an almost Shakespearean tragedy along with its other main characters, the athletes within the Attardo family, itself.
Join Brian as he provides the backdrop to the film, as well as his motivation and purpose in choosing this subject.
24 to Heaven is a feature documentary currently in production written and directed by Brian Culkin that examines post industrial America, the social and spiritual theatre of boxing, and the Attardo family of Boston, MA.
"The interior life is essential to the boxer. Sociologist Loic Waquant referred to the 'erasure of any distinction between the physical and spiritual' through its practice. Manifesting through the intensity of corporeal and mental training, the solitude of roadwork, and surrendering to the biological processes of instinct and flow, the pugilist merges his mind-body complex into an instrument of kinetic force. Known for their ascetic rituals, the champion boxer must 'let go of the world' through diet, a moderated training regimen, and above all, mental and physical clarity. However, the lifestyle of the boxer, infused with spiritual like rituals that required a certain level of social and cultural stability, became nearly impossible to maintain in the chaotic social infrastructure of South Boston throughout the 1970's and 1980's; the same period of the Attardo brothers rise. "
