‘If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies’. – Nadine Stair

The mere mention of spring reminds me of a chance to begin everything in life anew. On a deeper level, I remember past lives as a Celtic maiden, playing hide and seek in the woods with friends, and delighting in the discovery of a meadow of flowers, plucking a handful of them to make herbal concoctions and a potion or two for safekeeping.

Times have changed and I like most of us, live in an overly domesticated suburban world, with only small patches and parks to remind me of my natural roots. Yet, at the first hint of spring, my shoes go flying off and I have to sink my toes deep into the green grass, to connect my auric fields back into the earth.

One evening, while I was out doing just this very thing, along with a bit of stargazing, I was greeted by the sweetest little bunny in my yard. As I stood there in the quiet of my backyard, I felt a stirring from deep within me, heralding the return of my creativity, fertility and sense of adventure. Above me the stars of my ancestors surrounded me with their love, reminding me that I never walk alone and here next to me, represented here in the form of this beautiful bunny, stood the goddess Ostara, inviting me to embrace the divine feminine and take a walk on the wild side. Never one to turn down an invitation, I opened mind, heart, body and soul and joined in on nature’s dance for a few hours, reveling in the silver light of the moon.

The next morning, I reflected on the ritual known as ‘spring break’, and how the word break means to end one thing and begin something new. Breakfast for example, means to ‘break the fast’, from being asleep and not eating, to awakening and eating, thus “breaking the fast”. In the same way, we follow a similar ritual with spring break, as we stir from the deep slumber of winter and emerge from hibernation and the cave of the home. We in this sense, like our ancestors, are breaking from the cold bonds of winter and entering a new cycle. This is why rituals were created, to mark the passage of time and the movement from one season to another or to memorialize a special event or ceremony.

Spring is the most powerful time of the year to raise the vibration of all of the auric fields. The Spring Equinox is the most optimum time of the year to raise the energy in the fields and chakras and open the heart chakra. The heart chakra and astral field open when the lower bodies are clear and the energy is ready to rise. Like the flowers of spring, all good things bloom in time.  Spring represents joy, hope, adventure and love. It is a time to play. We are emerging from the restorative period of winter and are full of energy to express. If you have planted the seeds of thought and affirmation in the fall, you will now be prompted from within on how best to take action at this time. Enjoy, for all of nature is with you at this time, bursting with color and vibrant energy. The world is a virtual feast of energy and your auric fields will soak it up every day. Throw open the windows, go on long walks, surround yourself with fresh flowers and best of all, go play.

Let Nature Be Your Guide…
The elements of nature provide tremendous resources to assist in healing and restoring energy to the auric fields. The uplifting sights, vibrational sounds and revitalizing scents of nature’s finest, renew the mind, body and spirit on multiple levels. In addition, the seasonal cycles connect us to the energetic earth based transformations.When we understand how to connect with nature, we can draw upon this energy to enhance our auric bodies. When we focus our energy in conjunction with elements, we can create forces of powerful healing energy. These forces are the most powerful during special seasonal cycles on the earth and when we harness this energy and draw it into our fields, the energy magnifies three-fold. The cycles represent the stages of life each person goes through in the physical; the spring of our youth, the summer peak of our adult years, the reaping of wisdom in our golden years of autumn, and our introspective return to spirit world in winter.

Each area of the world has its own unique energy and auric field. Mountainous areas give off one type of energy, which varies significantly from the energy of the beaches. As I travel, I can’t help but notice the aura of each area. Some areas radiate with the color so intensely that it fills the sky. One example that has always stayed with me was that I used to notice landscapes and seascapes painted by artists who portrayed an overwhelming shade of pink throughout the canvas. These seascapes were always connected with Florida and I never really understood why the artist would choose to use so much pink in their painting of a blue ocean and beige sand. I surmised that they must have been trying to capture the glow of a sunset at that brief moment when the sky turns pink. Years later, while moving to Florida I experienced what they were seeing. When driving into the state, there’s a certain demarcation line where the auric field in the land and sky connect and turn pink! I was so overcome by the beauty of it and realized why so many people are drawn to live in Florida for the healing heart energy they receive while there. It truly is a wonderful place to heal and enhance the heart chakra area. Though I no longer live in Florida, I drive there often. When I do, I can now almost calculate to the exact mile where the energy changes and the pink glow begins. It is as thrilling to me each time I see the pink hue, as it was the very first time.

Another extremely powerful area with a strong auric energy is the Hawaiian Islands. There are parts of Hawaii where the energy is so pure that you soak up the auric field through all of your five senses and even the sixth. Hawaii exudes the energy of “creative fire” and when you visit the islands, your creative energy will rise. It is rare to meet anyone who has spent time there, who has not found that they return energetically uplifted and inspired. Their auric field is recharged and full of light and vitality and is ready to create and manifest something new and exciting from the time they spent in the islands. If you are looking to make a change in your life and want to connect with your creativity and reignite that spark, a visit to Hawaii should be on your list of things to do.

Few things excite my energy fields more than a good breeze when it picks up and I feel the wind swirling around me. A gentle breeze brings much more than cooling relief to the body, it stimulates the energy fields and removes residual energy. A strong breeze, such as during a storm, electrifies this energy and after blowing away stagnant energy, it stimulates the vibration of the fields. This is why many people become excited during a storm, it stirs something deep within and calls them into action.

When you are in need of removing residual energy from your auric fields and want a quick recharge, going somewhere with strong breezes will do the trick. A mountain area with strong breezes will work as well as on an island which receives the Trade Winds. Traveling on a cruise ship also connects you with the ocean breeze. During the cruise, stand at the front of the ship and lets the breeze blow over you. Doing this activity for a few minutes a day on a cruise ship will literally blow your cares away.

There are some occasions where the wind is not helpful to removing energy from the auric fields. Dry desert winds are not beneficial. An example of how dry wind affects people is the Santa Ana winds, which blow in Southern California. When the Santa Ana winds arrive, people report feeling nervous, uptight, on edge and have strong mood swings and irritability. These winds carry a large number of positive ions. Negative ions provide a peaceful and calming effect to the human auric fields. The opposite occurs with positive ions, as they make people feel upset and uncomfortable. The overabundance of positive ions in the Santa Ana wind also disrupts the auric energy fields rather than enhancing them.

Take a Breath of Fresh Air this Spring!
To clear energy from the auric fields, spend some time in an area with a strong breeze. To restore energy to the auric fields using the element of air, refer to the deep breathing and meditative exercises throughout the Awakened Aura book. Pull in clear fresh air and pure energy into the auric fields using three deep breaths. Deep breathing exercises are beneficial to the physical body and with each exhale you removes negative energy from the body and auric fields. In addition, to add air energy in or around your home, a wind chime will move the energy around your home. Place it near a window where a breeze will blow the chime around or near an air register where it will chime when the a/c unit blows. If you prefer not to have it near a window or vent, ring the wind chime once a day to circulate air energy.

*excerpts from Kala Ambrose’s book, The Awakened Aura: Experiencing the Evolution of Your Energy Body

Kala Ambrose teaching about Auras at Edgar Cayce’s ARE

I had such a great time teaching about The Awakened Aura at Edgar Cayce’s ARE in Virginia Beach, in a beautiful room where the portrait of Cayce represented his presence and spirit throughout the building.

I’ve visited the ARE in the past and it was a joy to be there again, this time to teach and share.  If you haven’t been before, it’s well worth your time to visit, attend a workshop and explore the library and beautiful meditation room.

During my workshop an attendee mentioned that she had read in my book how I can see the aura of places, not just people. She remarked on the chapter where I share what I see in the aura of Florida when driving down to visit. She asked what I saw and sensed about the aura in Virginia Beach.

My reply was that I had spent some time earlier that day tuning into the energy of the area in order to discern the auric energy surrounding Virginia Beach. I found it to be similar to an open portal, a void if you will, similar in effect to a clear quartz crystal.

In this type of portal energy, the area pulsates with energy. It waits for people to enter the energy and then to manifest what they will, directing the energy towards positive or negative means of their choosing.

It also had me thinking about the proximity to Virginia Beach in regard to the Bermuda Triangle and that it may very well be on one of the ley lines, further enhancing the energy.

Virginia Beach

I invite you to explore this energy yourself when you visit there and if possible, spend time on the beach, where you can tap into this energy and make a wish that will connect with this vibration and ripple outward.

Virginia Beach is a place to set an intention, make a wish and then allow the energy to ripple in waves outward as it goes to work manifesting the intention.  Enjoy the journey!

Have you ever had a feeling about someone that you couldn’t explain, but the feeling was so strong that it affected how you felt about that person? When at a loss to explain how we feel, we might describe this person as dark and foreboding or the opposite, such as having a sunny disposition or being a ray of sunshine in our lives.  For thousands of years, artists in ancient Egypt and later in Rome and other parts of Europe attempted to paint the energy they felt around a person, such as a halo around an enlightened being and dark shadowing around someone who is consumed with sadness and guilt.  What these artists depict and others describe, is what I have seen around people my entire life. Since my earliest memories of childhood, I have seen colors and rays of light around people. I came back this lifetime with memories of my past lives where I was a wisdom teacher, sharing what is known as the esoteric mystery teachings.  I’ve lived and taught these teachings in ancient Egypt, Greece, India and Celtic times along with many other places and I continue to teach them again in this lifetime.

As a wisdom teacher, teaching how to see the aura in its many expressions around the energy bodies is one of the most valuable exercises I can share as it can lead to self-actualization in the body, mind and spirit fields.  When we have conscious awareness of who we are as spirit beings, it opens doors to new levels of existence on the earth plane and the higher realms.  Not only are we able to understand ourselves on a deeper level and develop further into super-natural beings of light, we are also able to understand our fellow men, women and children on a profound connective soul level.

I’ve spent this lifetime dedicated to pulling all the knowledge and wisdom from all of my previous lifetimes into my conscious fields so that I could access them freely and share them with others who wished to study the ancient mystery teachings.  I came back this time with psychic abilities including: seeing the aura, being intuitive, seeing ghosts and beings from other planes, the ability to astral travel, having prophetic and teaching dreams, connecting and working with spirit guides and the elders, possessing empathic and psychometric abilities and most importantly, a heart chakra field that is wide open to compassion and love for humanity.

Over the years, I’ve studied the metaphysical sciences in this lifetime and in others including astrology, tarot, traditional feng shui, magic, and with master teachers who share the ancient esoteric teachings from various orders around the world.  Along with my esoteric inner work, I’ve dedicated my life to teaching these skills to others with my school of the mysteries, the Temple of Stella Maris and lecturing and holding workshops around the U.S. In my exoteric outer work, I share as an author writing books and as a national columnist, and in creating The Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, where I’ve conducted hundreds of interviews speaking with world-renowned authors, artists, teachers and researchers in the metaphysical, spiritual, paranormal and scientific realms. I’ve discussed our ancient past, worked to reveal the lost history and shared what is to come for our future.  Most importantly, I’ve worked to maintain and hold the vision that… “Spirit does not exist in just one location; rather it is all encompassing, living within and amongst us in each moment, thought and action. I believe that Spirit is raised to its highest level, when individuals gather with wisdom, compassion and a discerning desire to provide service to humanity.”  I believe that through sharing and teaching the gifts that each of us have received through this lifetime and others, great healing and awareness will come to this planet which will lead to the evolution of humanity as super-powered beings.

I believe that one of the most important factors for this evolution to accelerate is the ability to see and sense the auric fields.  When you can see the aura and the energy bodies surrounding the aura, you can see how a person is truly feeling, regardless of what they are saying vocally. You can see their state of mind, their state of health and their state of being. The various fields also show karmic ties they bring with them, guides who are surrounding them and the destined path on which they are heading.  The aura fields are like open books describing who we are on all levels.  As open books, we do not have to shield who we are, for it is on display for all the world to see. This provides a great freedom to be ourselves and live in the moment, with the conscious awareness that who we are is a constant process of change and evolution. The end result is more incredulous and exciting than many of us have ever imagined.

Can You Feel The Love

Many people say to me that they are not able to see auras or wonder if they truly exist. Seeing the first layer of the aura is relatively easy to accomplish. In the workshops I teach, typically 90% of the people I work with are able to see the first layer of the aura by the first or second exercise. While it is fairly easy to see the outline of an aura, (the etheric body is first viewed as a white border around the body) understanding what the colors inside the auric fields represent can be more challenging.

Are you wondering if you are sensitive to energy fields? Consider these situations in which you were aware of energy that you could not see with your physical eyes:

• Have you ever walked into a room and felt the mood of the room coming from the people inside, without knowing what the conversation is about?
• Have you ever walked into a building and felt uncomfortable with no apparent reason as to why you are feeling this way, but wanted to get out as soon as possible?
• Have you ever met someone for the first time and immediately felt uncomfortable and preferred not to be around them or on the opposite end of the spectrum, warmed up to someone immediately and found yourself wanting to spend as much time as possible in their company?
• Have you ever played the game where you are blindfolded and you rely on sensing energy to see where someone else is located in the room and how close you can get to them?
• If you have ever taken a tai chi or other type of martial arts class, one of the first exercises you learn is to sense your personal chi/energy field. Students are taught how to feel the energy radiating off the body and how to harness the energy between their hands, forming it into a ball. They are also taught deep breathing exercises in order to raise the energy field and expand it. These lessons connect directly into the auric field and are a great way to connect with your personal energy.

• If you haven’t explored any of these options before, another example of sensing something in your auric field, is when you are deep in thought and not paying attention to your surroundings and suddenly, you “feel” that someone is staring at you and you turn to look. The person staring at you is causing a ripple effect that is being felt from their energy being directed at you and your energy field through the aura responding to this energy wave. The auric body reacts to the energy ripple and sends a message to your conscious mind to pay attention. It is being protective in this response, so that the mind can take the next step to discern whether the person is friend or foe and how to react accordingly.

In these situations and many others, you have felt the energetic auric field around a person. There are hundreds of examples regarding the auric fields and their energy and one of the most profound stories come from the sleeping psychic, Edgar Cayce.

During the last year of his life, Edgar Cayce began work with his friend Thomas Sugrue to write a book about his work with auras. This book was intended to reveal a full discourse on auras and colors, including Cayce’s notes on how he learned via observation with his clients, the meanings of specific colors and shapes in the aura. Unfortunately, his health took a turn for the worse and he died early that year in 1945. Due to Cayce’s untimely demise, the compilation of his work and study of the auras was complied into a twenty-page pamphlet entitled Auras: An Essay on the Meaning of Colors.  To this day, Auras is a popular reference guide containing helpful information including how the colors in the aura are connected with the planets and musical notes.

As a psychic who saw auras, Edgar shared his most traumatic experience in regards to seeing auric fields. One day Edgar was in a high-rise office building, up on a high floor and pushed the button for the elevator in order to return to the first floor. When the elevator opened in front of him, he was completely caught off guard, as he could not see the aura of any person on the elevator. This surprised him, as he was used to seeing the auric field around people wherever he went. Puzzled by what he saw, he continued to stare in surprise and did not enter into the elevator. The elevator doors closed and the cable of the elevator snapped, plummeting all of the people on the elevator to their death.

The auric field was absent around the people on the elevator as it was preparing the physical body for death. Rather than its normal state of extending outward, the aura begins to pull inward into the body to gather the essence and soul of the person as the death process nears. This act assists the consciousness in the shift from the physical plane of existence of the body  into the higher realms of the spirit.

Seeing Auras – From A Psychic’s Viewpoint

From my experiences in reading auras, I’ve found that the auric body typically maintains a basic form, which resembles an egg like oval shape around the body. Emanating from this body is a beautiful white light along with a wide variety of colors, shapes and at times, swirls and patterns. While it is fairly easy to learn to see an aura, understanding what the colors and images surrounding the aura represent, requires intuition, practice and an understanding of the spiritual planes and fields around the body.

Each individual creates a distinctive pattern in their auric field comprised of the individual’s thoughts, emotions, energetic manifestations and thought forms. The aura has an electromagnetic frequency, which is sensed by others and radiates at different levels. When people resonate at a similar auric frequency level, they naturally feel more comfortable around each other and find it easier to connect on the physical, emotional and mental levels. On the flip side, people whose auric vibrations differ greatly in frequency, tend to experience more conflict with each other and find it more difficult to communicate. In some ways, because they are coming from such different energetic standpoints, it’s almost as if they are speaking two different languages. In short, birds of a feather flock together and while opposites attract, the opposing energy fields can create conflict and difficulty with communication.

As human beings, we are essentially made of light and energy. As we come into contact with another person, our auras engage and intermingle with each other. This can lead to many positive experiences, which stimulate and enhance the aura. It can also generate negative experiences, which can draw too much energy away from the auric field and leave the person feeling depleted. With a greater understanding of how the aura functions, it’s easier to recharge the aura to keep it running at an optimum level.

There are seven main layers to the aura, which are also referred to as bodies or fields. There are many people who can see the auric fields. For some intuitives, they see them with their physical eye. Others see the fields through their third eye and some only sense the auric fields. A small number of people are able to see all seven auric fields, while the majority of people see one or two fields only. Some psychics are more attuned to see physical dis-ease before it enters the physical body, while others see the energy in motion around the person, which reflects their general wellbeing.

They may also see emotional distress in the auric field, or glimpses of the akashic records being worked through in this lifetime. The akashic records are an ancient Sanskrit term, which refer to a database of records, a library of sorts, which records all actions in the universe. While each person is here on the earth plane in a physical body, part of their essence and soul remains in the higher planes. A meta-physical energetic cord connects from the higher planes down to the earth plane and attaches to the soul of each person as it resides inside the physical body. These cords move energy back and forth from the physical plane to the higher planes. Also contained in these fields of energy are the records of each thought, word, action and deed that we generate while in the physical body. These records are transported back to the akashic library where they are stored and when we pass on from the earth plane and return to the spiritual realms, we visit the hall of akashic records to review our lifetime. From this review, we can see if we generated more karma and what we created from our action.

In my work as a wisdom teacher, I teach students how to see and read auras. We discuss the types of auras, their condition and how to heal an aura that has become damaged due to shock, stress or other harmful situations. In this line of work, I continue to experience new revelations when giving aura readings for people.

What has been most astounding and exciting in my work is that in the past ten years, I’ve seen new structures forming around the auras, which I have never seen before in the auric fields.

My theory on this new design in the auric field is that we are in a quickening. We are evolving on an energetic level and our auric bodies are being recreated right before our very eyes. What I see happening in many fields now is that the energy bodies around us are being reconstructed and are opening up to allow more light and energy to flow through our bodies now, more than ever before. In addition, the grid around the auric body is expanding and the structures are more crystalline in appearance. From my research, there has been only one other time in history where there were references to the energy around the human body changing and this was in the time of ancient Egypt when the high priestesses prepared to communicate with their gods and goddesses. As we draw near to the astrological age of Aquarius, which is symbolized by the water bearer in the heavens, pouring the wisdom of the gods back down to earth, I am struck by the correlation in what I see manifesting in our auric bodies. I believe the energy fields around our body are being prepared to receive higher and stronger vibrations of energy. The effects will allow for more energy to come into our physical bodies, allowing us to live longer and with greater vitality. It will also allow for greater mental capacity as well as increasing psychic ability.

I’ve seen auras around people, nature and buildings since I was a litle girl. For years I’ve been teaching about the aura and the energy bodies and how seeing them and actively engaging with them can change your life.

Over the past decade, I’ve noticed the most interesting thing when I would see the aura around each person. The auras are evolving!

I am seeing the energy body around auras change and grow, cords are expanding and like tendrils on plants, they are reaching out to connect within the body to the organs and chakras in new directions as well as reaching further outside the body to connect and harness the energy on an expanded scale. Over the past decade, what I have been seeing in the auric fields is changing dramatically.  They are creating new energy bodies around the physical body, connecting in new patterns and forming crystalline structures to enhance our conscious evolution, including our connectivity to each other, the world, and higher planes of existence. These structures are creating powerful crystalline receivers, which allow psychic abilities to be enhanced and provide regenerative energetic force fields to heal energy from within at the cellular level. We are truly evolving into super-powered human beings and it’s happening first in the aura!

This holds such promise for the future of humanity and how we are going to connect with each other on a deeper level. Once I understood what was occuring, I knew it was time to share this information with the world, to TEACH about it, to do Aura READINGS and let people know what was happening with their aura and energy bodies and to write a BOOK about the Aura Evolution, so that each person could learn how to connect and work with their expanding energy bodies.

The time is now to share this information on how we are evolving. We are evolving into Super-Powered Human Beings! Join me, Kala Ambrose as I share how your aura and energy bodies are evolving and what this means for the future of the world and for humanity.

Read on here about The Awakened Aura to see how you can connect with me this year to learn about the Aura Evolution. I look forward to sharing this power filled information with you. My next teaching location is Edgar Cayce’s ARE. The information about this very special Weekend Workshop can be found here in the press release from the ARE, along with more information about the event!

Virginia Beach, Va. – Top psychic trainers, Kala Ambrose and Carol Ann Liaros, together with extraordinarily gifted teacher, Dr. George Brainard, and internationally renowned speaker John Van Auken, bring practical insights and techniques to detect, interpret, and balance the auric energy field at the Your Energy Body: The Awakened Aura and Your Spiritual Evolution conference hosted at the Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.), March 22-24, 2013. Auras, as seen by intuitives and psychics for centuries, are bands of light and color that surround the body. Each color possesses a vibration, and that vibration is associated with individual experiences and emotions that mirror the mental, emotional, and physical states of the body. In this conference, participants learn the unique characteristics in auras; techniques to interpret the symbolic messages found within themselves, children, animals, and buildings; how auras were depicted historically; and, how they are changing in the twenty-first century.

This week on the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, I’m speaking with Dr. Larry Burk about his personal journey as a physician.  His book, Let Magic Happen follows Larry Burk’s adventure from academic medicine and radiology to holistic medicine and parapsychology.

Dr. Burk is currently offering free downloads of Let Magic Happen e-books all week from Monday to Friday, October 1st through October 5th, 2012.  Let your friends know that they can get a Kindle version for $0.00 and download a free Kindle app for any digital device. See the Buy Now button at www.letmagichappen.com for the link to Amazon.

The book features the early development of musculoskeletal MRI and 3D CT, and the founding of the Duke Center for Integrative Medicine and the American Board of Scientific Medical Intuition, as well as alternative cancer diagnosis and treatment, and guidance through dreams and shamanic journeying. Every step of the way is guided by a variety of mind-body-spirit, self-healing methods concluding with a how-to-do-it summary of the Top Ten techniques in the appendix.

LISTEN TO THE SHOW ON EXPLORE YOUR SPIRIT WITH KALA RADIO

Larry has experienced many magical synchronicities in his career and life that have guided him along his journey. He was a pole vaulter in college, and his musculoskeletal injuries led him on a quest for healing that included, shaking medicine, shamanic journeys with a jaguar and after-death communication with angels.

After talking about these adventures for years, he decided it was time to write them down. Many of his healing stories stem from mind-body-spirit techniques that he was privileged to learn from numerous generous teachers. He looks forward to sharing the magic with sincere seekers everywhere.  Dr. Burk did his medical school and residency training at the University of Pittsburgh, and was former associate professor of radiology and director of integrative medicine education at Duke University Medical Center.

He is a Certified Energy Health Practitioner, and is also certified in clinical hypnosis and trained in medical acupuncture. He is a former board president of the Rhine Research Center, and is currently president of Healing Imager, Inc. in Durham, NC, specializing in teleradiology and EFT. His scientific articles, newspaper columns, newsletters and video blogs are posted at www.letmagichappen.com.

According to the AARP, more than 65 million people, or 29 percent of the U.S. population, currently provide care to an ill, disabled or aged family member or friend. The fact is, if we are not caregivers already, we likely know someone who is, or will be.

When the diagnosis of cancer is given to a loved one, you may find yourself in the role as caregiver. You want to help, but how? This story offers insight into the life of the author, who stood by his wife’s side as she confronted not one, but two very deadly episodes of cancer.

The strategies provided in this touching book will benefit any new or even veteran caregiver, as well as patients, family members, friends, and members of the medical community that are wondering what they should know and do if, or when, personally confronted with a loved one or friend with a debilitating illness or injury.

Rob Harris is the author of the book – We’re In This Together: A Caregiver’s Story to help those in need.  The book is a fast-paced, gripping, and heartwarming story of his wife’s two battles with cancer, his role as a caregiver, and the lessons he learned along the way.

We’re In This Together: A Caregiver’s Story provides 70 Caregiver Tips learned during the author’s journey as a caregiver, including:

1. Receiving the news: How do I manage my emotions and still be supportive?
2. Understanding diagnoses and treatments: Tracking the details that matter.
3. Spending time in the hospital: How the new “normal” can be inspiring and even fun.
4. Becoming the great communicator: Sharing the news with friends and family.
5. Handling setbacks and overcoming obstacles: Finding the good in “every stinkin’ day.”
6. Taking care of yourself: Balancing the demands of caregiving with your own personal needs.

The book has been endorsed by celebrities, such as Leeza Gibbons, and many noteworthy doctors and oncologists. To quote Dr. Michael Fisch, MPH, FACP, FAAHPM, chair, Department of General Oncology, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX. “I am so impressed with this book! My vision is that this book would be a valuable addition to medical school and nursing school curriculum, serving as a trigger to help health professionals, patients, and caregivers alike understand what person-centered care really means.

Rob’s wife’s first bout of cancer was a non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The author states that $1.00 of every print book sale will be donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help in their efforts to eradicate blood cancers.

Clamshell filled with sand, seashells and candle

Summer and I love all things from the beach and ocean.  I can’t be at the beach today, but I’m loving the reminders in my home, like a giant clam shell that I’ve filled with sand, seashells and a candle.

Our home is our temple, our sacred space and when we fill it with items that bring us comfort and joy, it becomes a sanctuary.  I dedicate a sacred space in my home in reverence to the spirit of the home and charge this area daily with love, light and joyful energy so that each person who lives and visits our home is welcomed by this soft, warm, loving energy. It only takes a few moments to do each day and the results nurture all who enter.

What do you do to make your home a sanctuary?

Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show

On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with Dr. Richard Bartlett about Matrix Energetics©. It has been Dr. Bartlett’s burning desire for many years to push the envelope until he came up with a teachable system that people from all walks of life could use for themselves, not just a few select or “gifted” people. Not just health practitioners but people with no previous experience as well. Dr. Bartlett worked to develop a system that produced observable and verifiable changes and which could be taught to others as easily as any other life skill. Matrix Energetics© encompasses a new state of mind, a new way of looking at the world we live and breathe in, and a new way of reaching out to new possibilities, a consciousness shift. According to modern physicists, all reality can be described as vibrations and waveforms where everything is light and information. We chose the “matrix” name because we enter into a unique morphic field when we do this work. One can imagine it much like a lattice of information, and one learns to reach into the lattice and change that information. Often in a seminar the unconscious mind is the student and the logical mind has to take a breather. Then the logical mind gets its time to be happy as we explore the science behind the “magic.” Matrix Energetics© is dedicated to bringing this new consciousness shift and personal power of transformation and healing to as many people as possible. When people can observe and see for themselves verifiable physical changes rapidly as happens when using Matrix Energetics, it helps them to accept these new possibilities and makes it real for them.

Dowsing Beyond Duality by David and Erina Cowan

Recently I had the opportunity to review the new book – Dowsing Beyond Duality: Access Your Power to Create Positive Change by David and Erina Cowen, published by Red Wheel/Weiser. David Cowan is a biofeedback trainer and teacher in spiritual communication and the art of dowsing and the author of Navigating the Collapse of Time. Erina Cowan is a former registered nurse who has a joint practice with David Cowan in alternative healing and counseling.

If the term dowsing is new to you, think of it as a form of divination. A common form of dowsing involves using a branch shaped like a “Y” to locate water or minerals buried underground. Over the years this was also referred to as “water-witching” or using the “divining or witching rod”. Dowsing has and is being used by more people than you may think. When I lived in Texas, I met many dowsers who worked for oil and energy companies who employed them to find oil, water and minerals. Farmers around the U.S. and in hundreds of other countries dowse or use dowsers to help them find the best land to plant crops near underwater sources.

To dowse, the branch is held out in front of the person and it interacts between the energy body of the person and the desired element that the person is seeking, such as water, oil or minerals. Some people use copper rods or pendulums instead of branches, it typically depends on which element wood, copper etc, that the person is most comfortable using.  I remember when I first began to study Traditional Feng Shui and received my first lo-pan, which is the compass used in feng shui. I was instructed to hold the compass in front of my abdomen area, rather than up in the air or closer to the chest area where you might naturally hold a compass. The reason was that the kidneys and adrenal glands energetically interact with the earth energies and is the area where you can receive the best and clearest reading.  Dowsing works in much the same manner and the best results are found when the rod or branch is held lower in the abdomen, near the kidneys.

In the Cowan’s book, they provide a general how-to guide to the art of dowsing, explaining the terminology involved with the process. For a beginner who is wondering how to dowse, the book provides an easy to read, comprehensive guide. It explains that dowsing can be used for much more than finding good land to plant crops or search for oil and focuses on how to use a pendulum to dowse for personal answers and to connect with the higher self and spiritual realms. Techniques are included on how to dowse to determine personal blocks to relationships and emotional, spiritual and environmental issues. You’ll learn how to dowse to sense the energy in your home, connect with your energy bodies and find blockages in your energy and environmental fields.

What I found very helpful for those who already dowse and are professionals in the field, are the over sixty diagrams in the book which detail the energetic alignments in the third, fourth and fifth dimension and explain internal and external influences. The Cowans show how to use the pendulum–not only to find lost objects or make daily decisions–but also to deepen one’s self-realization and create positive change in one’s life and in the world.  Overall, a great how to guide for beginners and professionals to deepen their understanding of the art and science of dowsing.

As life these days continues to speed by in what I feel is almost equivalent to the speed of light, it’s important that we take the time to slow down, take a breath and gather our thoughts.  The stressful hustle and bustle of this world can easily put us on edge and cause us to snap and act differently than we might have, had we had enough sleep, proper nutrition and an easier day than the one experienced.

With this in mind, this thought rolled out of me the other day. I printed it out and posted it on my wall and I thought you might enjoy it too, so here it is:

“We are all doing the best we can, as we can, with each day bringing its own set of challenges as we ourselves struggle to grow and be our best, while facing fatigue, emotional stress and other factors. Each of us have a story and are best served when we remember that about each other and respond with a gentle touch and compassion, which is easier to do some days over others.

One other days, it’s just chaos and we have to roll with that too and let our wild child fly and be free.” – Kala Ambrose
