Tony Samara to join host Randy Rolfe on “Family First”

Internationally Known Spiritual Guide Tony Samara, Advocate of Daily Practical Spirituality for More Joy and Balance in Life, to join host Randy Rolfe on “Family First” on VoiceAmerica’s Radio Network

Phoenix, AZ (BigNews.Biz) January 17, 2012 -- Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that internationally known advocate for daily spiritual practice in all aspects of life from business to eating Tony Samara will join Randy Rolfe, host of the Family First radio program on the VoiceAmerica Health & Wellness Channel (http://www.voiceamericahealth.com) Friday, January 20, 2012, at 1 PM Pacific Time.

Tony Samara is the author of Shaman’s Wisdom, From the Heart, Different Yet the Same, and Deeper than Words. He was born in England and grew up in Egypt and also in Norway, where he discovered the Zen Buddhist philosophy. This led him to the Mount Baldy Zen Center in California, where he studied the teachings of Kyozan Joshu Sasaki. To explore further the essence of spirituality he visited shamanic communities around the globe including in the Amazon River region and the Andes Mountains. Centered now in Germany, his spiritual teaching now attracts people from around the world and through the Internet. His purpose is to encourage all to lead their daily lives actively in a noble way in order to realize the evolution of human consciousness, joy, and real freedom. Unlike some spiritual teachers, Tony teaches that food and eating are fundamental to our inner well being. Healthy, energized food helps us to create a strong foundation that allows inner work and transformation to take place.

Tony Samara is a world-renowned spiritual teacher who believes that becoming more aware of the spiritual element in life right now can help with all those other concerns and bring more peace and joy to every day life. On Family First this week Tony will share his insights on how we are living at a crucial moment in humanity's transformation and we can no longer wait for someone else, or something else, to do something. He will explain how the creative power of each individual allows us to put things into practice now, in a more proactive and participatory way. He will offer valuable wisdom and practical tools for making life freer, more fun, and more meaningful.

“The moment you decide to not only listen to your intuition but to act on it, or to express it through your body, you are establishing yourself in the "flow," or in more sporting terms it is commonly known as the "zone." Live your entire life "in the zone" by mastering your intuition.” ~Amir Zoghi

“There are two paths to happiness in life, with two very different outcomes. One path is to force it and attempt to make it happen, while the other is to allow it to happen. The unlimited human potential is reachable through allowing it to happen, through living intuitively.” ~Amir Zoghi

About Dr. Carolyn Ross:

Dr. Carolyn Coker Ross is a nationally known author, speaker and expert in the use of Integrative Medicine. She is Board certified in both Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine and completed a 2 year fellowship at Dr. Andrew Weil’s Program in Integrative Medicine at The University of Arizona.

What she learned from her patients and from facing her own health crisis changed the way she practiced medicine and expanded her understanding of what it takes to awaken your full healing potential and move from the curative paradigm of western medicine to the belief in the body’s self-healing capacity and the possibility of a life of vitality and wholeness.
