Paula Roberts was born in England and moved to NYC in 1978. In London, she realized that she had a gift of being able to communicate with the ‘other side’. She developed her abilities of clairvoyance and mediumship at the Spiritualist Assn. of Great Britain. She also attended the American Franklin School for a graphology (hand-writing analysis) course. She continues to use it in her client work. She specializes in compatibility through handwriting samples. Her eBook ‘Unlocking the secrets hidden in your handwriting’ is available on Amazon. She has since been credited with having sensitivity considerably beyond chance of average ‘super psi’ by an eminent parapsychologist; this means it was proved that she can reach back in time and space and give information whose accuracy is verifiable--without ever knowing anything about the subject. Paula has worked full time as a clairvoyant counsellor for over 30 years and has a large international clientele. She is also known for her annual predictions in NY Post and other articles and TV appearances. She had a public access TV show in Manhattan for 16 years, giving mini-readings to viewers without any input from them.  A few years ago she was chosen as the Psychic Consultant for Broadway’s revival of ‘Blithe Spirit’. One of her great passions is doing experimental work as a paranormal investigator ‘ghost-hunter’ and this work has been documented in the ‘American Society for Psychical Research Journal’ and on TV. Her work at the General Wayne Inn (Phi) was filmed by ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ and is still being shown. 01:01:00Independent Artists and ThinkersnoPaula Roberts,psychic,mediumship,ghost hunting,graphologyEnglish Psychic Paula Roberts on Handwriting, Second Sight, and Hunting Ghostshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/10/29/musician-david-sklar-on-the-lyrical-lifeArthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/10/29/musician-david-sklar-on-the-lyrical-life/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/10/29/musician-david-sklar-on-the-lyrical-lifeThu, 29 Oct 2015 17:00:00 GMTMusician David Sklar on the Lyrical LifeWhat does it take to fill your life with music?

At age 11, he was accepted at the prestigious preparatory program at the Manhattan School of Music where he studied performance with master professor Phillip Kawin. David also took classes with concert pianist Andre Watts.  Upon graduation, David gained acceptance at Berklee College of Music in Boston. While majoring in film scoring at Berklee, he studied performance with Livingston Taylor, brother of James Taylor.

Lewis turns up the steam on interracial romanceWhat does it take to write "laugh out loud funny and heart-poundingly sexy" multicultural romance? Join us as novelist L.V. Lewis talks about love, sex, alphas, and Jungle Fever Press. Growing up, L.V. Lewis wanted to be an internationally known rock star, but unfortunately, lived in the wrong part of the country to pursue that career (and neither American Idol nor The Voice were available then). An early love for the written word gave her the plan B she sought. Her career as a contract manager was not creative writing by a long shot, but it didn’t require her to spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars required for a law degree. It does pay the bills while she dabbles in the publishing world as an author on the evenings and weekends. LV lives in Florida with her husband. They are the parents of four children, three of whom don’t think they need their parents anymore, so they share their home with a sweet female German Shepherd and an alpha male Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix who thinks he rules the world. Her love for writing is only eclipsed by her love for her family. Some of her books are Fifty Shades of Jungle Fever and The Ghetto Girl Quadrilogy. 01:00:00Independent Artists and Thinkersnoromance,L.V.

How can knowing that lead us to spiritual growth and healing? Join us as author and regression therapist Dr. Linda Backman talks about exploring the life between lives, and how that can enhance our lives today. Dr. Linda Backman, psychologist and regression therapist, has been in private practice for more than 35 years. Dr. Backman guides individuals in soul regression hypnotherapy to access their past and between lives. In this way, she assists people to more fully recognize who they are as a soul throughout repetitive lifetimes, and during the time we are not incarnate, as well as in discovering their soul intention for this life.   Linda’s focus includes guiding regression clients, as well as speaking, writing, presenting and training others in soul regression hypnotherapy. She is deeply focused on an evolving universal understanding and awareness of the path of soul development that leads to the acceptance of Oneness and Unity of all people and cultures of the world. In 1997, Dr. Backman and her husband, Dr. Earl Backman, established The Ravenheart Center (www.RavenHeartCenter.com ), in Boulder, Colorado, dedicated to guiding individuals to discover their soul path. Dr. Backman is the author of Bringing Your Soul to Light (Llewellyn, 2009) and The Evolving Soul (Llewellyn, 2014). 01:00:00Independent Artists and ThinkersnoPast Life Regression,Between Lives Soul Regression,Linda Backman,The Evolving Soul,reincarnationAuthor and Regression Therapist Dr. Linda Backman on the Evolving Soulhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/09/17/author-and-astrologer-lynn-bell-on-the-archetypes-and-mythology-in-our-starsLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/09/17/author-and-astrologer-lynn-bell-on-the-archetypes-and-mythology-in-our-stars/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/09/17/author-and-astrologer-lynn-bell-on-the-archetypes-and-mythology-in-our-starsThu, 17 Sep 2015 17:00:00 GMTAuthor and Astrologer Lynn Bell on the Archetypes and Mythology in Our StarsHow do use our astrological charts to understand ourselves in all our multi-layered complexity? Join us as author, astrologer, and teacher Lynn Bell talks about the great archetypes and mythology of our horoscopes. Lynn Bell is a Paris-based astrologer whose work spans multiple cultures as a speaker, teacher, author and consultant in astrology.  Initially self-taught, she quickly built a private practice with an international clientele.  After many years of teaching and lecturing throughout France, she was invited to join the Centre for Psychological Astrology in London in 1995.  As a master consulting astrologer with a multi-layered approach, Lynn’s work combines psychological and spiritual perspectives. Her interest in working with familial patterns first emerged from work with clients. After personal work in analysis, her training in Eriksonian Hypnosis led to work in family systems, and later, several years of ongoing research groups on the charts of families. Her book on planetary patterns in families,  Planetary Threads,  was first published in 1998.  She lectures and teaches seminars around the world, from Western Europe to far-off lands like Bali, Mexico, Australia and South Africa as well as the US, and most recently in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. In the UK she teaches for The Faculty of Astrological Studies Summer school in Oxford, and the LSA, as well as the CPA. Outside the world of astrology, she has often collaborated with Caroline Myss, and her CMED Institute.

Join us as artist and foundress Insun Kim talks about art, metal, pouring bronze, and sculpting with stainless steel nails. Insun Kim was born in South Korea. She studied painting at the Arts Students League in New York City. It was later, however, when she was working at the Tallix Art Foundry in Peekskill NY that she was first introduced to sculpture, working with great artists such as Reubin Kankian, Isamu Nogachi, John Chamberlain, Nancy Graves, and Frederick Douglas. These interactions proved to be some of the best and most valueable lessons she could have. She is a self-taught sculptor, highly skilled welder, and fabricator. Over the years, she has worked with many other materials such as wax and clay, but metal has always been the most appealing to her.  Insun Kim's work is based on her own experiences. Her work relates to themes of life and being alive. She says, "As a woman it is expected that you marry, have children and raise a family. There are many ups and downs in life whether they be the little everyday annoyances or the absolutely dreadful. My art has been there for me throughout such times and has provided me with a positive route to express myself. I love nature and being outdoors, and I also truly respect and cherish what god has made for us. From time to time I will find natural objects that seem to radiate beauty in their own way. It is my hope and my aim to merge this natural beauty with my personal experiences to produce an art, my art, which can channel and display both influences together." 01:00:00Independent Artists and Thinkersnofoundry,pouring bronze,metalsmith,Insun Kim,SculptureArtist and Foundress Insun Kim on Art and The Life of Metalhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/08/27/dancer-artistic-director-lori-belilove-on-founding-a-dance-companyArthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/08/27/dancer-artistic-director-lori-belilove-on-founding-a-dance-company/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/08/27/dancer-artistic-director-lori-belilove-on-founding-a-dance-companyThu, 27 Aug 2015 17:00:00 GMTDancer & Artistic Director Lori Belilove on Founding a Dance CompanyWhat does it take to found and sustain an artistic institution?

Children are the most vulnerable members of a family and it is only to be expected that a parent will find them a useful tool against the other parent. In its more subtle forms, it is near impossible to detect. Why does this happen? What can be done about it? Why has there been opposition to recognizing parental alienation as a serious problem? Join us as psychiatrist Bill Bernet discusses his work regarding this troubling situation. William Bernet, M.D., is a graduate of Holy Cross College (summa cum laude) and Harvard Medical School.  He is currently a professor emeritus at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.  He is board certified in general psychiatry, child psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry.  As an expert in forensic psychiatry, Dr. Bernet has testified about 300 times in 20 states. Dr. Bernet has written professional articles and chapters on a variety of subjects, including: group and individ­ual therapy with children and adolescents; humor in psychother­apy; forensic child psychiatry; child maltreatment; true and false allegations of abuse; satanic ritual abuse; reincarnation; child custody and visitation; parental alienation; testimony regarding behavioral genomics; and risk management. In 2007, Dr. Bernet and Judge Don R. Ash published Children of Divorce: A Practical Guide for Parents, Therapists, Attorneys, and Judges.  Dr. Bernet edited Parental Alienation, DSM-5, and ICD-11, which was published in 2010.  Dr. Bernet and his colleagues edited Parental Alienation: The Handbook for Mental Health and Legal Professionals, which was published in 2013.   01:00:00Independent Artists and Thinkersnodivorce,children of divorce,dr. william bernet,high conflict divorce,child custodyIn some cases of high-conflict divorce, a child allies himself strongly with one parent (the preferred parent or alienating parent) and rejects a relationship whttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/04/30/master-sculptor-sabin-howard-on-creating-realist-artArthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/04/30/master-sculptor-sabin-howard-on-creating-realist-art/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/independentartiststhinkers/2015/04/30/master-sculptor-sabin-howard-on-creating-realist-artThu, 30 Apr 2015 17:12:02 GMTMaster Sculptor Sabin Howard on creating realist artWhat does it take to create great figurative art in today's world?
