My guest today is Michael Collins, an addiction expert, and bestselling author. Today we’re talking about the original gateway drug, sugar.
Is sugar addiction a real thing? Yes.
Are sugar withdrawals real? Yes.
There is a real scientifically based reason sugar is so hard to quit. It’s cultural, it’s chemical, and complex, yet oh so simple.
You don’t want to miss this information-packed episode.

Follow Up Notes from Episode:
Holy Fire Reiki: Why placements?
-
“The ignition style of Holy Fire is more powerful because of the fact the teacher’s energy was not involved. It was a hands off style. So he asked his Guide, to which he was answered, yes, and then began receiving the downloaded information during an ignition like experience.”
-
The difference between Holy Fire and other forms?
-
“Introduced to the ICRT in 2014, it is included part of Usui classes and Karuna Reiki training. The energy is noticeably more refined and comes from a higher level of consciousness.
Notable differences include:
i. Working continuously even when not thinking about it. Spontaneously heals issues as they come up.
ii. It works very quickly WITHOUT distress, aka healing crisis.
iii. Always respects free will.
iv. Heals relationships and interactions with others. Can be long term or also be spontaneously with others. It especially heals religious trauma.
v. Releases worry and replaces it with feeling of safety
vi. Spontaneously provides guidance applicable to every level of life experience
vii. Effects of feeling continuously loved, a deep and refined nurturing feeling.
viii. Develops the healthy personality traits more that will serve a persons higher self more.
ix. It continuously evolves within the person and becomes more effective.”

This week’s episode is the last in our October Movement Series. I took a unique view on this subject this week. I wanted to allow you room to reflect and celebrate all you’ve accomplished this past month.
We are smack in the middle of Mercury retrograde with a full moon coming up on Halloween, just to make sure all our stuff is amplified. It is energetic chaos for sure! Halloween is also a time of ancestral celebration, embodying the Goddess Crone energy, as well as finishing up our harvests and preparing for the darkness of Winter coming. So much going on! Whew!
Sit back and enjoy this quick little review. Make sure you have your journal handy to take some notes and make personal reflections. And don’t forget to have fun! I love this time of year! Namaste.

Welcome back to Light Body Radio!
In this week”s episode I am joined by Stephanie May, LMT, Reiki Master to discuss the victim state of mind and taking control of your mental health.
We are all living through unprecedented times for sure! But that does not mean that we should allow ourselves to be victimized. Being the victim is a challenge that we must all face at some point in our lives, and actually will face multiple times throughout our lives. But there is a way you can perceive and move through those challenging times with empowerment and mindfulness.
That’s what Stephanie and I wanted to bring you today, the tools to be empowered, to be the driver of your own mental state. You have the power to choose what and how you think and feel. You are not weak. You are not alone.
I also wrote a blog about this back in March of this year right as COVID was starting to take off in the US. How timely?! Definitely check that out for tools to support mental health and self-care.
If you or someone you love are in crisis, you are not alone! Please reach out and get help. I have listed some resources below to support you. You are needed. You are loved. You are valuable!
Namaste,
Dr. Lara
