How to Heal Childhood Trauma with Shalev Amar

We’ve all experienced childhood trauma to varying degrees. Heaven knows I got more than my fair share of it — in the forms of physical, verbal, mental and emotional abuse.

I’ve heard that trauma is anything less than nurturing. By that definition, I would guess that captures my entire listener base. But this is not usually talked about publicly. Today, we have one brave guest willing to bare his soul, discuss publicly his childhood wounding, and most importantly, share his healing journey, including those modalities that worked and those that didn’t.

By day, Shalev Amar is a successful attorney who’s assisted many consumers of lemon vehicles for 17 years.

Shalev has studied trauma processing, releasing, and healing methods for 9 years to overcome his own childhood trauma. He’s come onto Get Yourself Optimized to share what he’s learned with those of us who face our own trauma challenges or have people in our lives that we care about who are held back by their trauma.

Let’s get on with this important episode!

Entrain Your Brain with Dr. Patrick Porter

Your brain operates very differently depending on its brainwave state, which could be alpha, beta, gamma, theta or delta. Alpha is the gateway to being in a flow state and delta you’re probably asleep. If you’re in gamma, you could be in bliss and communing with God.

Through the regular use of brainwave entrainment. One can improve clarity of thinking, sleep quality and energy levels.

Art and Divinity with Andre Ferrella

Would you like to know what your spirit guides look like? Well today’s guest, Andre Ferrella, can not only tell you, he can draw them for you in lifelike detail. He in fact has done that very thing for me and for my wife Orion. It was very cool!

Andre Ferrella is a metaphysical fine artist, illustrator of the Kryon Oracle Deck, creator of The Spirit Box and the discoverer of The Living Picture. Kryon, who is channeled by Lee Carroll, (by the way I’m a big fan of Kryon), calls Andre Ferrella “a Master of Light” and “an Evolutionary Artist.”

Here’s what the amazing Bruce Lipton has to say about Andre and The Spirit Box:

“Visionary artist Andre Ferrella has created The MERKABAH-Spirit Box, a dynamic, mesmerizing visual adventure that can induce a profound meditative state. Ferrella’s artistry creates a virtual Stargate, transporting the viewer’s mind into higher realms of consciousness.”

Wow, how cool is that?

Journey Beyond the Veil with Paul Selig

It’s an honor and a joy to have the famed psychic and author Paul Selig back on the show. Paul is considered to be one of the foremost spiritual channels working today. He has nine breakthrough works of channeled literature, including I Am the Word, The Book of Mastery, and the Beyond the Known Trilogy: Realization, Alchemy, and The Kingdom.

A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant.  Described as “a medium for the living,” Paul has the unique ability to step into and “become” the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he “hears” them telepathically.

His work has been featured on ABC News Nightline, Fox News, and the Biography Channel.

Also a noted academic, Paul served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years and is the former director of the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Goddard College.

This is a return appearance for Paul, his first appearance was episode #212, which I also highly recommend. In that conversation, it was pre-pandemic and my own psychic abilities had not come online yet. This time around, we delve into this unique time in human history, individual will vs divine will, prayers for protection, and supernatural abilities like telepathy, intuition, and channeling. And so much more!
