Please join us and our guest, Michael Grosso, for a show on Yoga of Sound: The Life and Teachings of the Celestial Songman, Swami Nada Brahmananda, showing readers how to use sound to create a life of complete health and happiness. Not long after obtaining his Ph.D. in philosophy from Columbia University in 1971, Michael had an extraordinary experience in Greenwich Village, New York, that led him to realize he needed to balance his overly intellectual life with music. He met Swami Nada Brahmananda, a former court musician for the King of Mysore, famous throughout India for being a master of Taan music and sound yoga, as well as for his supernatural control of his body. Michael began studying with Swami Nada and found his life profoundly changed.

Sharing the lessons of Swami Nada Brahmananda, as well as painting a vivid portrait of New York City in the 1970s—and its vibrant and chaotic underground arts and music scene—Grosso explores Swami Nada’s Indian yoga of sacred sound in depth. He reveals how the tradition centers on the sound or vibration that created the universe, its personal cultivation, and its power to heal, enlighten, and offer insight about how to live in the Kali Yuga, the Age of Conflict. Revealing Swami Nada Brahmananda as the very embodiment of a Celestial Songman, Michael shows how, by practicing the yoga of sound, we can embody Swami Nada’s greatest lesson of all: that we can all learn to make music from the discordant notes of our lives and sing our way out of the Kali Yuga.

Michael has taught at City University of New York, Kennedy University in California, and City University of New Jersey. The author of several books, including Smile of the Universe, Michael lives in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Please join us and our guest, Joan Ranquet, for a show on Communication with All Life: Revelations of an Animal Communicator. This how-to book is also a guide that will help you discern how much you’re already exchanging feelings, words, and pictures with your pet. Woven throughout the book are many stories to illustrate and support the theory that animal communication isn’t something that you do or need to learn … it just is. By tuning in telepathically, Joan has helped thousands of people and animals deepen their connections with each other, resolve behavioral problems, assist in the process of death and dying, and examine issues surrounding illness and accidents. Many situations dealt with in the book are actually people—perception problems rather than stories of an ill-behaved dog, cat, horse, bird, or other pet. This book illustrates how to move past the emotional patterns that create unwanted behavior and ultimately demonstrates that animal companions give humans the opportunity to enact leadership and responsibility in their thoughts and feelings to ensure harmony at home.

Animal communicator, TEDx speaker, Hay House and Sounds True author, educator and animal parent, Joan Ranquet leads an inspired life. It’s no surprise MSN deemed her as one of the “Top 25 People Who Do What They Love.” Joan has connected with animals professionally for over twenty-five years, and personally for as long as she can remember. Her calling has led her to work with hundreds of thousands of animal guardians, trainers, barn managers, and vets – teaching animal communication through workshops, wildlife retreats, and private sessions. In 2009, Joan founded CWALU (Communication With All Life University), a certification program for animal communication, energy healing and nature and wildlife. Learn more at https://JoanRanquet.com.
