Baratta welcomes his special guest, master crystal artisan Lawrence Stoller, for a fascinating exploration of the relationship between humans and crystals. Lawrence and Baratta discuss the ways we can interact with crystals, and what can happen in our lives when we do. They explore the capacity of crystals to “wake up” in response to our appreciation of their beauty, and Lawrence shares beautiful stories of life-changing experiences people have had with crystals in his studio.

Baratta talks about creating a link between love and money, so that money becomes one of the expressions of our inherent love, worth, and value. Baratta shares the benefits of moving beyond the idea that money is a measurement of our success. With a caller, Baratta explores how we can free ourselves from emotional indebtedness, lack of forgiveness, and the patterns of struggle and competition in the realm of money and success.

Baratta welcomes his returning guest, writer and musician Tysa Goodrich, for a fascinating exploration of what happens in the journey of a soul before birth, as it prepares to enter the infant body within the womb. In her work with a woman, Tysa shares the story of how much the woman had wanted to have a baby, the husband who was resistant, and the loving message Tysa received from the soul of the child-to-be. Baratta and Tysa talk of the lively psychic communication between Tysa and her own unborn child's soul during her pregnancy, including during and following music gigs. Tysa shares several techniques that future mothers (and fathers) can use to make that beautiful psychic connection to their unborn child.

Baratta discusses the process of opening to a deeper, more fulfilling experience of our sexuality, as well as the far-reaching impact it can have, not only in the act of being sexual, but in all facets of our lives. During the show, Baratta invites Tysa Goodrich to join in and share her perspectives on this deeply personal topic. Together, Baratta and Tysa talk of moving beyond the fear of falling short, letting the current moment be new, and discovering more of who we and our partners are – as we continually unfold the mystery of our sexual selves through courageous sexuality.

Baratta welcomes special guest Franc Sloan, a beautifully insightful speaker who describes himself as "a spiritual consultant with a passion for mystery." Tonight Franc shares with Baratta his experiences talking with men of all ages about the passion that so often gets lost in intimate relationships, and the remorse that men feel about that loss. Together, Baratta and Franc examine how familiar expectations of "what always happens in relationships" can make it a foregone conclusion that passion will eventually die. As this lively conversation unfolds, Baratta and Franc explore how passion can continually grow when we stay on "the leading edge of love."

Tonight Baratta invites us to consider how we sometimes close our hearts to the people around us, and how opening our hearts more can profoundly change our lives, as well as the lives of those around us. In a very intimate conversation with a caller, Baratta describes how to deal with the flashes of anger that can come up as our old sensitivities are triggered by a loved one, causing him or her to feel hurt and abandoned. Baratta closes with a beautiful description of what can happen within us as we begin to relate to ourselves with an open heart.

Baratta once again welcomes Tysa Goodrich for an evening focused on loved ones who have passed on - and those who are left behind. Tysa shares how we can connect with our departed loved ones, and she tells two fascinating stories of communication with spirits. Baratta and Tysa help a caller deal with the issue of a controlling mother who has delivered one final punishment to her daughter before dying. Another caller asks for help to connect with her grandparents who perished in the holocaust, and with a close friend who died more recently, wanting to ask him where he wants her to spread his ashes.

Baratta talks about the many ways we separate ourselves from each other - and from ourselves - and how to heal that separation. With a caller, Baratta describes how to move beyond the fear of humiliation and rejection that keeps us from connecting more deeply with other people. With another, he explores how we can deal with our personal fears about the Swine Flu crisis, and how to use that process to make a personal contribution to the world. Baratta also discusses the powerful process of developing a new relationship with change, chaos and the unknown as we reach for more love and happiness in our lives.

Baratta welcomes returning guest Jean-Noel Bassior, the award-winning journalist, author, and writing/publishing coach, as they continue their intimate conversation about the nature of Baratta's existence. In response to each of Ms. Bassior's wide-ranging questions, Baratta describes his non-physical viewpoint, then goes on to examine how that understanding may be useful to us in our physical lives. Questions include: What is it like to be non-physical? What do you do in the non-physical realm? What would it be like to live without the fear of death? What existed before the Big Bang? ...A truly fascinating discussion.

Tonight Baratta examines the relationship between our consciousness and our physicality: how our physical body is part of our journey of conscious growth and expansion, and how to let our physical life be the joyous experience it can be. With callers, Baratta talks about discovering our deepest fear, finding clarity on the decision to move to a new city, and how to deal with the confused emotions accompanying the triple challenge of divorce, loan modification, and the loss of a job.

Baratta's guest is Tysa Goodrich, who returns for this evening's show devoted to people who have lost loved ones. Baratta begins the show by inviting Tysa to share how she first discovered she could sense those who had crossed over, and about her particular ability as an empathic medium. Tysa and Baratta talk with several callers: A father who passed away sends a message of apology and explanation for not showing his love to his daughters, and a caller from a previous show asks for an update on how her late husband is doing on the other side. At the close of the show, a ghost visits the studio with a message for Tysa.

Tonight Baratta helps us unravel the reasons why we resist deeper intimacy, and how, by moving beyond them, we can discover the gift that intimacy is, to ourselves and to others. Baratta explores the question, “How much of ourselves should we share for the sake of intimacy – should we tell all our secrets?” With a caller, he talks about being responsible for impact on others, feeling new depths of remorse, and self-forgiveness. With another caller, Baratta senses the emotional basis for a relative’s life-threatening illness, and sends healing energy to that person.

Tonight Baratta talks in depth about the magic that can be found in our interactions with others. He describes how we often opt for the safety of familiar patterns of relating, and how, by reaching beyond those patterns, we can find new levels of intimacy, power, hope, and passion. Continuing, Baratta speaks of how we are conditioned to accept "what is" in order to "be happy" - to be "grateful for what we have", which often means settling for what is, not looking any further, and shutting down our natural curiosity, yearning, and passion for what may come next in our lives. With a caller, Baratta talks about letting go of the need to prove our worthiness for the gifts we receive in our lives.

Baratta explores hope as a powerful energy and a personal contribution we can make to our world. He also discusses the idea that we can all be healers of a kind - no matter what our work may be. With callers, Baratta talks about the issue of entitlement as a response to fear, dealing with the voices within that hold us back in our chosen work, and reclaiming the imaginative and intuitive self when it has been lost. In the midst of the show, Baratta helps us to participate more actively by sharing the loving energy from our hearts, connecting with every other listener.

Baratta also speaks with callers about "clearing the decks" emotionally in preparation for a new job, and healing grief that never seems to end.

Baratta speaks with callers about: moving beyond the fear of making mistakes when the stakes are high; building more trust in ourselves; connecting with the love in what we do; letting go of perfectionism; making the choice to have children or not; experiencing emotional depth as part of "A Luscious Life" going into the unknown of our lives with a new depth of feeling; self-forgiveness and the freedom that can be found on the other side of it.

In this evening's show Baratta talks with callers on a variety of subjects, including: facing the unknown, with its fear as well as its excitement; detoxifying our physical bodies by clearing ourselves of toxic emotions; grounding ourselves solidly in a new level of success. During the show, Baratta receives a call from a family who has just lost their beloved father and husband. Baratta enlists the help of Tysa Goodrich, a writer and musician who also has the ability to sense those who have crossed over. Together, Tysa and Baratta assist the family in a loving communication with their departed loved one.

Baratta speaks with callers about many aspects of "A Luscious Life": feeling emotions intensely, being adventurous in life with a sense of abandon as well as responsibility; changing our relationship with fear to a positive one; receiving and evaluating personal messages from non-physical sources; the rational mind and its role in the wholeness of self.

In the premiere, Baratta introduces the idea of "A Luscious Life" as an expression of ourselves that is unfettered by convention, habit, or conformity – a richness of truly being ourselves. This evening’s focus is on finding ways to give the full range of our emotional being a home in us - to give ourselves a safe place in our lives to “breathe” emotionally.
