Welcome to “Healing From Within” with host Sheryl Glick author of The Living Spirit Answers for Healing and Infinite Love which shares stories of spiritual awakening spiritual communication, healing energies miracles and discovering and using intuition to navigate the journey of a physical life. Today I welcome G. Brian Benson author of Habits For Success which shares ways to create a foundation of happiness balance and fulfillment through the discoveries of inner awareness.As listeners of “Healing From Within” are well aware Sheryl and her guests share intimate experiences and insights into the metaphysical aspects of life which reveal much about our energetic or spiritual needs and our mind- based, ego reality, or the physical world. When we learn to respect and merge both sources of wisdom we can actually find out much more about ourselves, others, and the world and begin to process all our amazing spiritual gifts to live a more balanced joyful purposeful and healthier lifestyle.In today’s episode of “Healing From Within” G. Brian Benson an award winning author radio host filmmaker and speaker shares the value of trusting intuition and his own personal journey of self-growth learning to live an authentic and fulfilling life. Brian is a 4XIronman triathlete and cross country bicyclist who knows the value of hard work and never giving up on dreams.When Brian is asked to think back to childhood and remember a person place or event that left an impression on him and may have shown him or others the path he would take in life or the values that they would perhaps hold dear Brian immediately says his mother always told him that he always just wanted to help people. Brian also shares that he worked in his father’s golf shop and golf range business and while so many men would have loved to be in that place, especially Sheryl tells Brian, her husband who lives and breathes golf and would have loved being in that place. But Brian knew he had to find other ways to awaken his interests and find how to communicate his enthusiasm for learning to move past restrictions and the comfort zone to expand into the fullness of living.When asked what it means to be a man of heart and to allow your genuine nature to shine Brian says he feels like it means to live an authentic life and he has found happiness and fulfillment in writing speaking producing and acting. He is accomplishing things that he would never have thought or dreamed possible. It wasn’t until he left his job that he really began to see how alive he could feel simply by being himself and following his intuitive heart instincts.It may be said that many people innately know how they should be living their lives, but often common sense is not always common practice. It seems fear is what holds most of us back.Sheryl says that is obviously fear and the need to follow the expectations of others: our parents teachers loved ones and not wanting to disappoint others or be a failure in some sense that can hold us back. It is indeed also our societal training and programming that dampens the spirit of curiosity and imagination and demands facts figures and stability as the most commanding force for our decisions. In addition the fear of Change for many people holds them back from trying new ways to go forward and explore life. Actually change is inevitable and necessary for our search of true self and remembering who we are as Spiritual Beings having a physical life.Brian wrote and this is absolutely how the awakening process begins for most of us….”There comes a time in all of our lives when it becomes more painful for us to stay mired in our old habits than to step outside our comfort zone and risk the unknown as we journey towards finding our true voice. Your true voice is the language of authentic fulfillment joy and happiness. While speaking your true voice, creativity flows fears subside and peace of mind prevails. I truly want everyone to find his or her true voice.”Sheryl says,
