“Thank you̕ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a
lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.”
- Alice Walker

The Atlantic 11/2016 a nod to Arlo and this Thanksgiving classic. Alice's Restaurant: Wiki
A tradition for me every Thanksgiving. Riding in the car to and fro, punching
buttons or turning knobs on the radio and finding the one station in
sync with the day. Classic. Arlo. Guthrie.
In my dial skipping I have often located the song at noon central time on 101KCFX. Maybe it will be there again. If not. Thank you, YouTube.
He was asked what his Dad (Woody Guthrie) might think of the song. “I can imagine the smile on his face is all I can say,” Arlo said,
“because I know he would have enjoyed at least the sense of humor.” - The Atlantic
Happy Thanksgiving.
Arlo Guthrie, Remembering Alice's Restaurant NPR - 11/2005
The Daily Beast, 11/2015, Arlo Guthrie, ... "and 50 years of Thanksgiving Classic"

The Transmigration of Timothy Archer
And so it goes, death is not the end of knowing or even an end in general, however it might seem from the vantage point of the living. Fortunately and/or not, we can benefit from some highly credible objective overviews acquired by those who have had a near death experience.
Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast with Dr. Tony Cicoria

No waiting in line. Death happens. Near Death Experience is the wildcard, offering a return from an in-between, altered state that illuminates and defines a broader scope on living, giving life greater depth and added dimensions.
The best part about NDE (more info Amazon: Evidence of the Afterlife via NDERF), each engagement is unique. Dr. Tony Cicoria was and is an Orthopedic Surgeon who could not have dreamed the outcome delivered by his NDE.
Neurologist, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote about him in 2007: The New Yorker.
More writing from Oliver Sacks - The New Yorker
He has several books. Try this one: Musicophilia
Struck by lightning and given a bit of musical inspiration to test his wits and his fortitude, endurance and tenacity produce a concert pianist and music of the spheres.
Here is Tony performing his Lightning Sonata - no doubt about it - every note, every polychord delivered with divine purpose - and for whatever purpose that might be - each is Heaven sent.
Dr. Tony Cicoria, CD Baby - order Notes from an Accidental Pianist and Composer
My first interview with Dr. Cicoria, Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio
Touching on our quantum connections, I kept hearing music when thinking about interviewing him. In looking up the CD, I laughed when I saw the suggestions for similar works. The songs I heard most frequently sounded like Liberace and I had to google to find something.
The dramatic open kept repeating in my head. Hearing the Lightning Sonata, it made perfect sense. Liberace/Rachmaninoff YouTube and Gershwin/Rhapsody in Blue/Liberace
There in the three listening suggestions for similar music was: Rachmaninoff/YouTube Video BBC Symphony Orchestra
In my interviews I have seen a theme, reconciling an NDE is a challenge. Meaning shifts, understanding drifts and new revelations dawn. No matter the case, each story provides a window of awareness into an exotic and ever-nearing realm some might remember as home.
I am so glad Dr. Cicoria was prodded by Dr. Sacks to give his music a space to be heard. Someone here will experience a life changing result in the listening! The magic is in the combination of the keys.
Near Death Researcher Kenneth Ring: New York Times: You never recover your original self
-"After having a near-death experience, people believe the end of life isn't; they believe in some sort of life after death. Death vanishes for them. There's only life. They are so aware of what life is. One man said, ''I finally knew what it was like to be really alive.''

Eben Alexander legitimized the NDE experience when he went public with his story and that story continues to evolve. Interview - Wendy's Coffeehouse - with Eben Alexander 11/12/16
Over the years, I have explored many of the hundreds of NDE stories on this site: NDERF.
There is a major difference between those experiences and this one: During the time of his event, Dr. Eben Alexander was hooked up to clusters of tubes and medical instruments that monitored every bodily function and non-function.
During his NDE, his body was diligently mapping the story while the mind and consciousness were engaged elsewhere.
Even more important to his experience is a detail that offers more insight. As a neurosurgeon, Dr. Alexander didn't believe in such things.
Shortly after I interviewed Eben Alexander on his first book, Proof of Heaven (Conscious Living/Empower Radio 2012), he appeared on Oprah and then took some major heat from a writer who tried, unsuccessfully, to discredit him. Details here: IANDS.
Although not the intent, that article, when analyzed and vetted, corroborated and added credence to Eben's story.
Still enthusiastic and driven to share the details and encourage any who have doubt about an afterlife to be open to exploring their own knowing and if possible, expand that knowing through meditation.
Music is a key element in his effort to enable that expansion process. He heard music during his NDE and is now incorporating a type of sound designed to enhance the meditation and relaxation state. He recommends Sacred Acoustics.
Meet Dr. Alexander - video presentation on YouTube
Transformed by death. Living became much fuller and more purposeful. This newest book: Map of Heaven offers a bit of science of consciousness and stories others have shared with him.
For his story, read the first book: Proof of Heaven or view the recap of the NDE on his site: My Experience in Coma.

You can't control the world, but when you control your thoughts, you bring order.

With that timely piece, I am sharing two interviews for animal lovers. Amelia Kinkade is in CA and a 4 am wake up call was out of the question so she's on Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett on Empower Radio in the archives as of 11/9/16. My Bernie Siegel interview is also in the archives. The two happen to be friends so the combo is a perfect compliment.
(Also posted on AnimalNsight.)
Love, Medicine & Miracles was my first introduction to Dr. Bernie Siegel.
Showcasing mind, body, spirit self-healing rather than pharmacological methods, he highlighted stories that focused on stimulating the immune response to boost healing.
(Interviewed him for that book when it came out -- years ago. Didn't keep an audio demo.)
Thrilled when I learned he had expanded the healing arsenal to incorporate work with animals: Love, Animals & Miracles, here is our interview on Empower Radio - Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett/Bernie Siegel
Bernie holds Animal Communicator Amelia Kinkade in high regard and recommends her on his site. If you are interested in pursing a more intimate connection with your animal relations, she offers easy to follow guidelines and instruction.

I recently interviewed Amelia Kinkade on Empower Radio Conscious Living with Wendy Garrett. Amelia travels the world sharing her insight on how to connect with animals and she has a star-studded list of references.
"Her unique abilities have been the focus of hundreds of magazines and newspaper articles world-wide including The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, ABC News, The Boston North Shore Sunday, The London Sunday News of The World, Good Housekeeping, Cat Fancy, Dog Fancy, New Woman in England, Bilt de Frau in Germany, Annabelle in Switzerland, and the cover of the Freitseit Kurier in Vienna. Miss Kinkade has appeared on television programs such as The View, The Other Half, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Extra, VH1, Jenny Jones, The BBC News, Carte Blanche in South Africa, and numerous news broadcasts in the US, Europe, and Australia."
Author of several books, her newest book and the focus of our interview is Whispers from the Wild.
Meet Amelia and hear her share her story about healing animals -
In our interview, we spoke about some of her incredible encounters with wildlife; Elephants and a Black Mamba Snake, and a unique approach she used to help her aunt (Rue McClanahan) recover from a stroke. All detailed in her book.

We are learning so much when it comes to the extraordinary abilities of animals to communicate within their own communities and - when we take the time to learn how to relate to them on their terms - how we can better communicate and understand them.
- Animal news viral this week: (The Dodo) Cecilia the Chimp has been awarded the right to live in better conditions. The judge said: "We're not talking about the civil rights enshrined in the Civil Code," she told the journal Los Andes, "but instead the species' own rights: to development, to life in their natural habitat."

11/5/16 Penny Kelly and the Kundalini mindshift that rivals #DrStrange
Does anybody really know what time it is?
“Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication ... and there is the real illness.”
