Be Present: The Diane Ray Show

What if the universe has a way of bringing people together against all odds? And what if love is the force that reminds us to believe in destiny, miracles, and the goodness of humanity?   Today I’m joined by award-winning film director Orlando von Einsiedel, whose film The Cycle of Love tells the extraordinary true story of a man who followed his heart on a 6,000-mile journey across the world to reunite with the woman he loved. It’s a story of faith, courage, and the mysterious magic that connects us. A reminder that sometimes, life unfolds in ways more beautiful than we could ever imagine.

Alisha Das didn't set out to become an angel communicator. Raised in a family of physicians and scientists, she was taught to question everything, seek evidence, and trust what could be measured. But from an early age, she also experienced something she couldn't explain—she began hearing the angels speak in what she describes as their own language. Rather than choosing between science and spirituality, Alisha spent more than three decades exploring the fascinating intersection of intuition, psychology, and personal transformation. Today, she helps people reconnect with what she calls their Angelic Ancestry—the idea that each of us has a direct connection to divine guidance, purpose, and something far greater than ourselves. She's the author of the new book, Your Angelic Ancestry: Discover Your Archangelic Name, Heritage, and Higher Purpose. and today we'll explore what that means, how angels communicate with us, and how reconnecting with this deeper wisdom can bring greater clarity, healing, and meaning to our lives.

This episode is for book lovers who are interested in a new kind of beach read. If you are looking for a fun read this summer check out Yoga Bind by Meryl Davids Landau. In a category all it's own, Yoga Bind is fun fiction that also touches on spiritual themes. I love to read and this book combines a great story with things I am interested in like yoga, spirituality, and more. Some reviews have called it "spiritual fiction" or "spiritual women's fiction" but I will let you make up your own mind. About the author- Yoga Bind is Meryl Davids Landau’s third book of mindfulness/yoga women’s fiction. Her prior novels are Warrior Won, which won a prestigious Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Award, and Downward Dog, Upward Fog, named a fiction-book-of-the-year finalist by Foreword Reviews. All the books feature Lorna and Janelle on their eclectic spiritual journeys, although each book stands on its own. Meryl is also a longtime, award-winning journalist whose work has been published in numerous publications, including the New York Times, Washington Post, National Geographic, Prevention, Good Housekeeping, Self, Yoga Journal, and other media. She is a certified yoga teacher and, in the spirit of full disclosure, an on-again-off-again meditator. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
