Bob Nickman is a writer and stand-up comedian who began a new life 30-plus years ago, when he gave up alcohol and other “unproductive substances.” A self-proclaimed, “failed party-animal,” his desire to improve all aspects of his life led him to explore a wide array of healing in body, mind and spirit.

EPISODE 189: CHRIS MILES: FINANCIAL HEALTH & FREEDOM

CHRIS MILES, The Anti-Financial Adxisor, talks about why mainstream financial advice is largely flawed and how to create a passive income stream to financial freedom. We discuss beliefs about money and creating a mindset of abundance and personal fulfilllment.

Many of us have been told from an early age that financial success is like a piggy bank - you simply save more and spend less. After years of working as a traditional financial advisor and stock coach, Chris came to the realization that this myth, along with many others, was holding people back from quickly and safely becoming financially prosperous and free. 

As the wheels of our modern world turn on digital media and technology, it is easier, andmore vital than ever, to create passive income streams and alternate investing strategies that work for you - even when you are out saving lives. Chris practices what he preaches and has used his own knowledge twice to become financially independent. He even managed to capitalize on over $1 Million in debt after the last recession without filing for bankruptcy.

Stepen's. new book, The Afterlife; A Journey To: Now You Know What Will Happen, delves into his Near-Death Experience (NDE) talking about what Heaven was like, how he came to understand the rules of Heaven, and the incredible guides, events and scenarios which take place there. He also offers the following about "purgatory",,,
"Upon death, we passage through a tunnel of light and the silver cord (which connects the
eternal soul to the physical body) is severed, and unlike an NDE, we are unable to return.
Entry into these ‘Mists’ or ‘Purgatory’ confirms our life’s journey through the law of ‘What
you sow, so shall you reap’. It is a confrontation with the self. What you have done (or not
done) and what you have ‘caused to effect’ in your fellow man. It is a ‘Life Review’ where
every moment of life is flashed before you and you see what you have done to and for
people. In this place, ‘The emperor wears no clothes’. Your status, position, title, etc. are null and void. It is what you have done to others that holds the key … we are all one in spirit … ‘What you have done to another, you do to yourself’."

She describes the work as targeting the area of the brain which talk therapy is unable to access, and the patient is able to replace negative images with positive ones. While the memory of the trauma is not erased, its impact is mitigated. Laney says,“The most difficult aspect of discussing ART is the fact that it sounds too good to be true.”
