Host: Sheryl Glick R.M.T.
Special Guest: Lee McCormick
In today’s episode of Healing From Within, your host, Sheryl Glick, author of The Living Spirit: Answers for Healing and Infinite Love, offers Sheryl’s journey from a skeptical view of metaphysical realities to awakening to a Universal consciousness which lead her to become a Reiki energy healer and medium discovering the many layers of our being and the potential to achieve goals and dreams by knowing more about who we really are. Sheryl welcomes Lee McCormick (http://www.hcibooks.com/), who discovered a way out of the unclear maze of life in these times when for many, life seems empty, lonely, and many are struggling with fears addictions and are disconnected from their spirit and heart. As author of Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag: A Transformational Guide for Living Happy Joyous and Free, Lee McCormick bares it all in order to show his journey to addiction- free, spiritually enriched, mental and emotional health.
Sheryl and Lee discuss Lee’s spiritual awakening process involving time spent in treatment programs, deep honest self-examination, and a dramatic few days on a mystical spiritual journey in Teotihuacan Mexico at the Toltec Pyramids where he found his way past the fears and limitations of his earlier life as well as a way to help others.. Lee has founded two highly regarded treatment centers…The Ranch Recovery Center in Nashville and the Canyon Treatment Center in Malibu. Lee is a full time rancher, organic farmer a recovery speaker and author/filmmaker behind the book and film “Dreaming Heaven.”
Lee had an idyllic childhood surfing, playing the guitar, riding horses and being a cowboy on the family ranch, living his days amidst nature. But, he was not so comfortable in his own skin. Maybe he was a sensitive or had an emphatic quality that made him feel other sensations that were uncomfortable like anxiety or fear as we are all sensory beings but some of us who are destined to be healers later on in life are more affected by all the energy around us in the form of people’s thoughts and emotions and the actions and behaviors that are projected into the environment. While this sense of reading energy is a spiritual gift until a sensitive knows how to protect and balance his own energy field they may be overwhelmed by an overload of sensations and emotions.
Lee tells us that Spirit Recovery (http://http//spiritrecovery.com/) Medicine Bag is for anyone who has come up against an internal wall and feels stuck. It can be an addiction financial loss, a broken relationship, an unfulfilled life—you just name it. Anything that has struck you in your tracks so to speak. He says this book encourages readers to find the door in the internal wall, the one with their name on it and dare to walk through it and step into life with both feet.
Sheryl responds by telling a story from her new book The Living Spirit where she is told by International Medium Robert Brown that she has been touched differently and has her feet in two worlds…Sheryl later discovered what he meant. It seems she is able to access the world of the Seen or Physical life using intuitive sensory abilities and also the world of the Unseen or Spiritual world of energy as a Medium. As Sheryl shares her personal discoveries of Universal Energy Laws she began to understand the duality of our physical and spiritual life force. Knowing that we are spiritual beings having a physical life becomes the key and answer to living with Infinite Possibilities for Manifesting our most healthy and purposeful lives. journey.”
Lee goes on to describe how he picked the title Spirit Recovery Medicine Bag for the book. A medicine bag is an image from Native Culture. The shaman or medicine man carries a medicine bag of various tools for healing. Our medicine bag recognizes there are stuck places in life where we tend to lose sight of ourselves where we feel lost—even give up on ourselves and on life.
