Kala and Kailash discuss Following Sound into Silence: Chanting Your Way Beyond Ego into Bliss . In this unique book/CD set, Kailash urges readers to take up chanting as an authentic and effective spiritual practice. Although chanting is an ancient spiritual tool, it is well suited to our contemporary lifestyles. No generation before us has had to contend with the onslaught of voices clamoring for our attention, the chaos of distractions vying for our imaginations and allegiance, or the flood of information that is our daily lot. Kailash shows how chanting, both alone and with others, can quiet and stabilize our minds, expand our hearts, elevate our emotions, and reduce our self-centeredness...yielding direct, sustained experience of the Divine.

Are you looking for the answers to the big questions? Would you like to meditate better? Would you like a thorough understanding of quantum physics? Do you want the key to happiness in this lifetime? Then go find some guru, because Spiritually Incorrect Comedy can’t help you.

But, dang diggity dang dang, SIC can make you laugh. Get out of the box with a revolutionary new movement in comedy...and usher in the new age with grace and humor. Get some Ah-Ha’s with your Ha-Ha’s!

Laugh along with Kala as she speaks with Spiritually Incorrect Comics Vanda Mikoloski, Gerry Katzman, and Erik Passoja

Kala speaks with Tori Hartman, Fashion book author and color expert of the 90's. Tori Hartman’s fashion book of the mid-1990s, Fabulous You! Unlock Your Perfect Personal Style by Putnam Berkeley, made it to #2 on Amazon.com for its intuitive take on the meaning behind the color one wears and six style types to which, according to Hartman, we are each innately cast. Think of it as the zodiac of fashion. “I don’t believe that any woman evolves into her style. I firmly believe that each of us is born into one,” Hartman says. Fabluous You! quickly established Hartman as a style guru and color expert. Today, Hartman’s focus has shifted to spiritual accessorizing with a line of Gratitude Bracelets, Chakra Vortex Jewelry for home and body, and Intention Candle Kits that support her work as a preeminent Los Angeles psychic to Hollywood stars, authors and film industry professionals.

Kala speaks with artist and inspirational humorist Andy Dooley. Andy graduated from the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Florida. He received his real-world training, however, in New York city where he worked for HBO and later in Orlando, on the sound stages of Universal Studios making movies. Later he started TUT (Totally Unique Thoughts) with his mother and brother, Mike Dooley, where he developed his unique style of art. By the seat of their pants, the family grew the company into a million-dollar business selling Andy's artwork and designs worldwide.

Art from - and for - the Heart, Spirit, Mind, Body, and Soul. FolkloricArts(TM) is the offspring of PatriArts(TM) and Saints Preserved(TM). Over the past decade, in doing research for the Saints series, Patricia Banker came to realize how many of them are related to classic folklore - Jungian Archetypes. Quite honestly, she hadn't given much thought to Carl Jung's theories since Psych 101 in college. Now she has come to appreciate his theory of synchronicity as she made connections with her "patrons," her work, and her personal life. Through experiences, she's become less skeptical and more spiritual. A century ago, Jung maintained that "modern" humans rely too heavily on science and logic. He felt we needed to integrate spirituality and appreciation of the unconscious realm, and emphasized the importance of seeking balance and harmony. Jung came of age during the Arts & Crafts movement. The more Patricia delved into it, the more she realized that she had a special affinity for Celtic folklore, which coincides with her long held love of the Pre-Raphaelites (they "rediscovered" the Celts) and the Arts & Crafts movement. Patricia works within the same spirit, using methods, media, and materials beyond Morris' and Mackintosh's wildest fantasies...

However, I do somehow seem to get a few things done...and the older I get the more I realize just how little time I've got left to do the rest! But just so I don't come across as a some sort of dallying dilettante, I'll list some things I have managed to accomplish: I did obtain degrees in Art and English (with the help of those roommates!) from a fairly prestigious (at least according to their promotional literature) university. I found - and have stayed married to - a great guy for 26 years. I've raised (with a tremendous amount of help from their dad) 3 boys to the ages of 24, 23, & 21 who (so far) have brought us much more joy than pain. I've edited and published 4 books, one of which still generates enough income to enable me to occasionally buy someone else's book. I have been the editor of 3 magazines (spanning 8 years), somehow making sure most deadlines got met. I wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column for 5 years (okay, I probably did miss a few deadlines). I owned a full-services design studio that generated enough income to pay my bills until, in a state of postpartum psychosis, I started my own magazine. I taught art in both public and parochial schools. In fact, my whole life I've felt slightly out of sync...doing something just because it felt like the right thing, even though others saw it as weird or peculiar. I've learned to accept it as a compliment when the very people who smirked at something I was doing, turn around and do the same thing 5 years later because now it has become cool or trendy. And I continue to have a lot of expensive "learning experiences." I think that's why these saints appeal to me so much. They did what they were inspired to do, despite public opinion and "common" wisdom. The similarity stops there, however: The most painful torture I've yet to endure at the hands of adversaries is boredom; I'm still trying to figure out my own "spirituality;" and no saint would ever write this much about herself!

Vanda Mikoloski began her stand-up comedy career in 1982 at Catch a Rising Star in New York City, where she was a late-night emcee. She toured nightclubs and colleges in the U.S. and Canada for 15 years. Her television appearances include Showtime's "Comedy Club Network", "Comic Strip Live" and Lifetime Network's "Girl's Night Out." Vanda was voted the "Funniest person in Washington" in Showtime’s "Funniest Person in America" contest in 1987.

As a yoga and meditation teacher, she toured with award-winning country/pop artists, The Dixie Chicks on their 2000 "Fly" tour for 6 1/2 months, as well as rock sensation Patty Griffin. She makes her home now in Venice, CA., nurturing her third career as a "Spiritual Quantum Comic" using all of the knowledge, wisdom and nonsense she’s acquired from influences such as the movies, What The Bleep Do We Know and The Secret, Ramana Maharshi, Eckhart Tolle, David Deida, Landmark Education, 12-step work, A Course in Miracles, Byron Katie, Ram Das and various channeled entities to inspire people through laughter. Vanda says "Standing on those shoulders, I intend to expand consciousness by stirring up and promoting ‘irreverent reverence,’ and to uplift, heal and connect people through laughter… I would like to help people grow limbs back and such." "The most amazing Masters I have ever met are amazing because of how accessible they are as human beings, because of how they listen to others … and how responsible they are in regards to generating their realities and how insignificant they are about their inherent value. They know that they are The Great Nothing/Everything. And that’s something."

Her work is a delightful, irreverent romp down her twisted spiritual path. Vanda's comedy deals with the human predicament, the trap of the egoic mind and the absurdity of it all. Vanda’s passion is personal growth and development. She offers powerful spiritual distinctions in a ridiculously funny way that leaves the audience inspired. She begins by questioning our point of view about our point of view and then challenges many of our spiritual beliefs and beliefs about reality, riffingpassionately about enlightenment, quantum physics, the nature of and pitfalls of being a human being, personal growth, spirituality, metaphysics, yoga, meditation, peace and love.

Rare, Stunning, transcending; Joy Adler is an extraordinary vocalist who sings from the depths of her being and risks revealing it to the world! Although self taught, Joy knew how to master the art of singing by studying and reproducing sounds she heard from her greatest teachers, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin. She spent hours attempting to replicate their vocal gymnastics and transform them into a sound of her own. Although her voice has been compared to Sarah McLachlan and Jewel, she has an astonishing ability to sing almost any musical genre. Joy says, “The strength of all the great artists is that they would allow the world to see their unique essence, by baring their souls onstage. This is what I seek to do.” But singing is not Joy’s only forte. She is a songwriter who can write with honesty and frankness and combines her talents with expressive openness to provide the listener with something of an extraordinary experience. Her abilities can transport you to the heights of the angels or to the depths of despair, with a rich tonal quality and expansive range.

Kala speaks with Luigi Morelli about his book, A Revolution of Hope: Spirituality, Cultural Renewal and Social Change. The twentieth century has sown the seeds of a possible cultural revolution. One of these can be identified with the name of ‘experiential spirituality’ and with practices that subvert the dualism of the present domination culture and invite us to change our cultural values from inside out. Luigi shares his cultural-spiritual vision of social change that encompasses political activism. He promotes a vision in which modern Civil Society can embrace the tools of experiential spirituality for a fresher understanding of universal truths, and the creation of a new culture, free from dogma, racial and social biases.

An Explore Your Spirit with Kala Original! Listen along as visionary artist Leiah Bowden creates a Spiritual Energy Portrait of Kala while she interviews her on her work. The graphic you see here is the finished product that Leiah created of Kala. In this interview, Leiah describes what she sees in Kala's energy fields and chakras.

Lifelong meditator, intuitive artist and visionary, Leiah accesses a realm where our souls are unveiled and, from within a light trance state, creates these spiritual Energy Portraits in pastels as commissioned works of art and healing tools. Each Energy Portrait comes with guidance from the subject's and/or Leiah's higher self or angelic being. In addition to serving as individual tools for healing and personal growth, these remarkable images illustrate the shamanic origin of the crowns, helmets, headresses, and other ritual and costume elements that have come down to us from ancient civilizations.

More About Leiah Bowden:
My best work - whether it's creating paintings, essays or meals - is intuitive. I approach a piece knowing that it already exists somewhere, and what I need to do is to allow it to appear. Something flows through me and out my fingers for which I take only the credit for getting out of the way and knowing how to manage the media. In these moments, I am aware that I am in the altered state of consciousness I call Heaven. I hear - and sometimes sing - beautiful melodies; my left hand (I am right-handed) sometimes flutters or waves with the energy of Faery. Sometimes I am aware of unseen observers and guides. Sometimes I recieve direct, clear, verbal suggestions to use specific colors, to extend a line here or curve a line there. The signature I use on my paintings came to me one winter night after artist friends chided me for not signing my name to my artwork. "You need to sign your work!" they chorused. I felt that my name interfered with the energy flow the painting expressed. Later that night, as I stood ouside on the porch waiting for my dog to return from his errand, I asked All That Is to send me a signature. Immediately I felt and obeyed an urge to lean forward and trace something with my finger in the snow. It was a symbol that felt powerful, grounded, soaring, and mine. And rather than interfering with my work, I feel it seals it the way "Amen" seals a prayer. More at www.energyportraits.com

More About Cindy Haley and GodPillow...
Life has moved very quickly for Cindy -so quickly that she woke up one day and found herself isolated from family and LIFE (not to mention God). Life literally brought her to her knees, which she describes as her first "Spiritual Awakening". She states that every time she surrenders, a Spiritual Transformation happens. A door opens and she knows God is listening. Since developing a relationship with God, she says, LIFE IS FULLER! Life keeps on being busy... that doesn't stop. But now she takes time in the morning, gets on her knees, prays, and asks God to direct her during the day. And, everytime she asks, she finds that her day runs smoother. And, at the end of the day, she get on her knees and says "Thank you". That is the best part. She feels inspired, knowing that great things will happen and she also knows that when the not-so-good things happen, she is not alone.
