Gifts from the Devastation

Take On Faith – March 26, 2022

Celine O’Donovan joins us to discuss her book Gifts from the Devastation. She wrote the book following her bout with breast cancer and the aftermath, which she described as a spiritual experience. O’Donovan joined us from Galway, Ireland.

Celine discussed the stresses that led up to her journey, the fear that she lived with, and how getting in touch with her creator resulted in great peace. Host Xolani Kacela welcomed her to Take On Faith on KTAL-LP in Las Cruces, NM.

From Guest’s Website:

Read on to find out the story behind the book and a short extract that I hope you enjoy.
A few readers also share their feedback with you!!

If I were to sum up the overall message of the book in a few sentences, it is that all life experiences, especially the difficult ones, are here to help us grow into the fullest version of ourselves. As difficult as it can be at times, life really is unfolding for our highest good.

My experience with breast cancer taught me this. It has been a journey marked by many ups and downs but I wouldn’t change a moment of it. Although life still has its challenges, I have never felt a greater sense of meaning and purpose. It has awoken me to my true nature and brought me to a place of deep, inner contentment that is beyond compare.

I hope that by sharing my story, it will prompt you to embark on your own journey of growth and expansion. I hope it will help you reframe difficult experiences and provide you with more supportive and empowering ways of relating to life. Ultimately, I hope you discover your inner power, speak your truth and shine brightly as the highest version of yourself.

In the book I take you on my personal journey – from getting the life-changing news that I had cancer, to surrendering to it and ultimately choosing a path of transformation. It taught me that despite the inevitable pain that comes with growth, life really is happening for us, not to us.

When we shift to this perspective, we have a totally different experience of life, we see through our conditioning and limiting beliefs. We become stronger and more anchored in our inner power. We no longer live as victims. Instead we realize that we are powerful creators of our reality.

Then there is no stopping us! That is my wish for you.

Take On Faith – March 12, 2022

Dana Lord Lewis, a leading authority on the Intelligence of Energy joins us today. Lewis is also the Founder of Energy Think, a wisdom and science-based modality. This work guides individuals to experience their infinite potential. Dana joins Rev. Xolani Kacela on Take On Faith, one of KTAL-LP’s flagship programs, broadcast from Las Cruces, NM.

Significantly, Lewis, who joined us from Santa Monica, California, draws on her studies of human energetics, cognitive science, classical and quantum physics. Also, she draws from spiritual teachings and law to draw from collective wisdom and teach others to find their deepest truth. She covered how this work influences individuals and organizations in the interview.

Importantly, Lewis discussed the “Thought to Reality” Roadmap, which explains how people make sense of their daily lives.

From the Guest’s Website:

Based on the principles of energetics, Energy Think offers an innovative approach to unlocking what you deeply desire. Desires look quite different from student to student – from career advancement, to family healing, to personal fulfillment, romance, affluence, and much more. If you can articulate it, this work supports you in turning your desire into reality.

Through expansionary guidance, students gain a solid – and applicable – understanding of how this invisible frontier is actually governed by many of the same principles as the physical world.

The purpose of this work is to empower students to actualize what they may have always dreamed of through understanding and harnessing the most powerful creationary asset we have – our energy.

If you are seeking to stop self-deceiving, conforming to accommodate fear-based beliefs and allowing other people to position you into feeling anything less than powerful, I invite you to take a look at what the Cadre offers.

In true power,

From Justin Miles’ website:

In 2010 I started the Miles Institute of Integral Living in order to help anyone that I could with challenges of the body, mind, spirit, self, culture, society and nature. The various ways that I assist others come directly from my experience as an imperfect human being, an educated and experienced Buddhist teacher, meditation instructor, psychotherapist, Hiphop artist and survivalist. My philosophy is to be of benefit to others by any means necessary, but especially by any means that others feel connected with. I will help anyone do anything that they think will provide growth and healing in their lives as long as it won’t hurt themselves or others. Whatever skills, insights and gifts that appear to be mine are shared freely with the world.

I began to realize that the only thing to do with my life is to be of service to others, not just through my education but through whoever I’ve learned to be on my human journey. I try to see the wisdom in everything and the world as teacher when i’m relaxed and receptive enough to allow that to happen. Personally, my sense of well-being comes from the practices of meditation, spiritual study, making Hiphop music, gardening, being alone in nature, facilitating therapy, raising my children, sweat lodges, vision quests, marksmanship, hanging out with friends and watching movies, but there is probably nothing that brings me greater pleasure than helping others.
