#202 The Beautiful Memories Our Children Share: A Tribute to Wayne Dyer

in
Tribute to Dr. Wayne Dyer - Interviews with Innocence.jpg

Today on Interviews With Innocence, I wanted to celebrate the holidays with some stories from internationally renowned author and speaker Dr. Wayne Dyer's book, "Memories of Heaven".

Dr. Wayne Dyer was an internationally renowned author and speaker in the fields of self-development and spiritual growth. Over the four decades of his career, he wrote more than 40 books, including 21 New York Times bestsellers. He created many audio and video programs and appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. Dyer held a doctorate in educational counseling from Wayne State University and had served as an associate professor at St. John’s University in New York. Through his early work in college-level teaching and clinical psychology, he discovered a widespread need for the principles of self-discovery and personal growth and sought to bring these ideas to a wider audience.

"Memories Of Heaven" was co-authored by Dee Garnes, who currently resides in Maui with her husband and two children. She has worked in the healing-arts field as a massage therapist for over 13 years, and was assistant to Dr. Wayne Dyer. When she is not chasing her two-year-old son around or caring for her infant daughter, she enjoys long-distance swims in the ocean, paddle-boarding, and hiking. Her longest hike to date spanned 50 days across the 500-mile Colorado Trail, where she found that her heart was not only in the mountains but also in the ocean—and in truly healing and helping others.

Dr. Wayne Dyer was always drawn to speaking with young children, as their memories seemed to stretch far past their young age and into the deep past. What he learned from them surpassed what the imagination of a young child could dream up, dipping into families, experiences, and spiritual realms that nobody could know at so young an age. Listen in to hear the stories Dr. Wayne Dyer had collected over the years of children's memories of heaven, choosing parents and spiritual insights. Let us celebrate the impact he had around the world.

A Recipe From Ellen Whealton: DIY Peppermint Foot Cream

Here's a great DIY recipe for creating gifts, party take-homes, or for treating yourself to some pampering! It has an invigorating sensation – the combination of aloe and peppermint feels cool and refreshing. Adding the Lavender to this soothes your skin and creates aromatherapy to calm your mind and promote relaxation.

You may like trying this with sugar added to create a DIY body scrub.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of coconut oil – the kind that's solid at room temperatur

  • ½ cup aloe vera gel

  • 15 drops Lavender essential oil

  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil

  • Note: You can add more or less of the above ingredients.

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients into a glass bowl or a stand mixer if making a larger batch;

2. Whip ingredients together for a couple of minutes. You'll know it's done when it is light and fluffy!

3. Scoop it into glass jar(s) with an airtight lid(s), then store in a relatively cool spot so your mixture doesn't liquefy too much. Small glass mason jars work perfectly for this!

#4 A Tribute to Wayne Dyer Sharing Stories From His Book "Memories of Heaven"

in
Tribute to Dr. Wayne Dyer - Interviews with Innocence.jpg

Today on Interviews With Innocence, I wanted to celebrate the holidays with some stories from internationally renowned author and speaker Dr. Wayne Dyer's book, "Memories of Heaven".

Dr. Wayne Dyer was an internationally renowned author and speaker in the fields of self-development and spiritual growth. Over the four decades of his career, he wrote more than 40 books, including 21 New York Times bestsellers. He created many audio and video programs and appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. Dyer held a doctorate in educational counseling from Wayne State University and had served as an associate professor at St. John’s University in New York. Through his early work in college-level teaching and clinical psychology, he discovered a widespread need for the principles of self-discovery and personal growth and sought to bring these ideas to a wider audience.

"Memories Of Heaven" was co-authored by Dee Garnes, who currently resides in Maui with her husband and two children. She has worked in the healing-arts field as a massage therapist for over 13 years, and was assistant to Dr. Wayne Dyer. When she is not chasing her two-year-old son around or caring for her infant daughter, she enjoys long-distance swims in the ocean, paddle-boarding, and hiking. Her longest hike to date spanned 50 days across the 500-mile Colorado Trail, where she found that her heart was not only in the mountains but also in the ocean—and in truly healing and helping others.

Dr. Wayne Dyer was always drawn to speaking with young children, as their memories seemed to stretch far past their young age and into the deep past. What he learned from them surpassed what the imagination of a young child could dream up, dipping into families, experiences, and spiritual realms that nobody could know at so young an age. Listen in to hear the stories Dr. Wayne Dyer had collected over the years of children's memories of heaven, choosing parents and spiritual insights. Let us celebrate the impact he had around the world.

Dr. Carol Bowman - Interviews with Innocence pt.2.jpg

Carol Bowman is back for part 2 on Interviews with Innocence. If you missed last week’s episode, I recommend you go back and listen to our interesting conversation about children recalling past lives and the research that confirms these stories.

Carol began her journey in past-life studies when her own children began talking in detail about past lives at a very young age. As Carol states “To me, reincarnation is not an abstract religious concept or a philosophy. It's a natural phenomenon. Understanding the connection between past lives and present reality leads to profound personal benefits, both spiritual and practical".
