Dear Readers,

For the documentary, I explored the history and magic of New Orleans. I can truly say there is no place like New Orleans in this world and there are so many reasons why it’s so important that the city be preserved. In the documentary you’ll meet some of the wonderful people that I met with while in the city who shared the rich treasures of the city, her people, her spirit, her bohemian lifestyle, the arts and music and of course, the food.

2012 PSYCHIC PREDICTIONS

I’ve also been busily writing for a variety of magazines as well as for the Huffington Post and the Examiner.  Recently I wrote an article for Elevated Existence Magazine about my work as a person who sees auras. This particular article discusses how your aura can affect electronics and other energy fields when your energetic flow is out of balance.

As we begin the countdown to Halloween, seven weeks and counting, the haunting activities are beginning to appear across North Carolina.  Here are some of the ones I spotted today:

The Carolina Inn, located in Chapel Hill, NC is offering a special “Room with a BOO!”.  They’re inviting you to come visit with their longtime resident ghost, Dr. William Jacocks. A friendly spirit, he enjoys playing practical jokes on those who stay in what was once Dr. Jacock’s permanent home. One of America’s Top 10 Haunted Hotels is waiting for you. The special package includes:

• Booked in Dr. Jacocks’ Room
• Dinner for Two, Set for Three
• Biography of Dr. Jacocks
• Rates Starting at $409

In my new book, Ghosthunting North Carolina, I share what happened when I visited the haunted Carolina Inn and literally ran right into a ghost on the property.  The Ghosthunting North Carolina book is available for purchase in stores and online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com Take it along with you as a travel guide when you visit the haunted Carolina Inn.

Over on the very haunted coastline of North Carolina in Wilmington, we have our very own Ghost Ship, NC’s only haunted battleship, the USS North Carolina. The hatches will crack open with all new unique designs and scares. It doesn’t matter where you are on the ship, the ghosts will find you! October 14th and 21st from 7pm-10pm. Tickets are $10 and go on sale at 6:30 pm. You must be in the ticket line by 9:30 pm to ensure your ticket. While researching the haunted battleship I ran into several ghosts on the ship, some going about their business and others looking for trouble.  In my book, Ghosthunting North Carolina I cover East Carolina and the haunted ships, forts, lighthouses and other places where ghosts and ghost pirates like Blackbeard and his men still roam.  The book includes travel information to all of these locations so you can plan things out and make a weekend out of visiting haunted place after haunted place along Coastal Carolina, or in the Piedmont or Mountains of NC.  Enjoy!

Journey across the state and visit the most actively haunted capitol in the US, and continue west into the Blue Ridge Mountains where the pink lady and her friends await your presence. Maps and travel information are provided to every haunted location for those brave enough to make the journey in person and for paranormal researchers who are interested in exploring haunted North Carolina.

Have you seen the book trailer about Ghosthunting North Carolina? You can check it out here on YOUTUBE

Southern Writers Magazine recently interviewed me about my book Ghosthunting North Carolina and my work as an author in their Sept issue – love the title they chose, which is:  “Books that Go Bump in the Night!”  Check it out http://www.southernwritersmagazine.com/

Advanced Praise for the book has been great including:

“The charming and delightful Kala Ambrose has invited me on her radio program Explore Your Spirit with Kala many times, and I have always thoroughly enjoyed myself.  In the pages of her fascinating new book Ghosthunting North Carolina, she has invited all of us to join her on a haunted road trip through North Carolina, and once again, I found myself completely enjoying the journey.  Kala received the “gift” of paranormal talents, including the ability to see and sense spirits, when she was only a child.  She generously shares this gift with her readers as she explores a remarkable number of haunted houses and places in North Carolina.  I very much appreciated Kala’s sharing the history of some of these very famous locations, as well as her psychic impressions of certain ethereal residents who have never left their beloved homes. Kala allows us to perceive her insights into a wide range of ghostly entities from the frightening to the benign, from the violent to the gentle.  I highly recommend this book.” — Brad Steiger, author of over 170 books, including Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits, and Haunted Places.

“Not everyone can write a ghost story. Luckily for us, Kala Ambrose can. In Ghosthunting North Carolina, Kala takes us on a fabulous armchair road-trip featuring pirates, flaming ghost ships, haunted hotels, and spirits of every persuasion, including the friendly, the eerie, and the downright scary. Kala also provides clear, concise, user-friendly instructions on how to transform a virtual trip into an actual one. I, for one, was ready to start driving to and through North Carolina as soon as I finished Ghosthunting North Carolina. I suspect you will be, too.” –Judika Illes, author of The Encyclopedia of Spirits, The Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells, and The Weiser Field Guide to Witches.

“A road trip with a difference! Kala Ambrose explores the spectacular beauty of the Tar Heel State while using her psychic skills to seek beneath the surface for the phantom soldiers, pink ladies and lost spirits who still inhabit the houses or wander the roads of this beautiful landscape. A skilful mix of lore and legend, which will linger on in the reader’s mind long after the book has been closed. “ — Dr. Bob Curran, author of Dark Fairies, Vampires: A Field Guide to the Creatures that Stalk the Night, Lost Lands, Forgotten Realms and over 24 additional books on paranormal lore.

“If you’re into all-things-spooky, spectral and spine-tingling, then Kala Ambrose’s Ghosthunting North Carolina is the book for you! Best devoured on the proverbial dark and stormy night!” –Nick Redfern, author of The Real Men in Black.

Join Kala Ambrose as she teaches
How to Awaken Your Aura
during a special workshop in Charleston, SC
at the Bodhi Tree
on Friday, September 16, 2011
from 6:00pm – 9:00pm

Awakening the Aura: Experiencing the Evolution of Your Energy Body

We are far greater than we remember ourselves to be. We are evolving into Super-Powered Human Beings! In ancient times, mystery schools of Egyptian and Greek origin taught the nature and destiny of mankind and revealed powerful secrets regarding universal natural laws. Inscribed above the entrance to one such mystery temple in ancient Greece were the words: “Hu-Man, Know Thyself.” Do you remember who you are and why you are here? It was these topics and others which were explored by inquisitive souls who were willing to delve into the transformational teachings of the mystery schools. This information is still as valid and inspiring today for those who seek to know themselves on a deeper level of consciousness and desire to learn the spiritual mysteries.

Discover these powerful ancient wisdom teachings from the mystery school temples of ancient Egypt and Greece with wisdom teacher and intuitive, Kala Ambrose. Connect between the two worlds to tap into the sacred knowledge and healing source at the mind, body and spirit level using color, light, crystals, botanicals and sound, which deepen the connection with your soul and the spirit world. Join Kala as she shares how your aura and energy bodies are evolving and what this means for the future of the world and for humanity.

About the Aura and Energy Bodies:

When the auric field along with other energy bodies is aligned in harmony, we are able to manifest to our full potential. The aura is part of this energy field and mirrors your mental and emotional states, and the physical vitality of the body, showing the level of health as well as potential blockages, which can lead to dis-ease before the onset of physical symptoms. The aura reflects our thoughts, feelings and desires, magnetizing and attracting to us what we create with our thoughts and emotions. As we become sensitive to the auric field, we can interpret the symbolic messages and use this as a compass to guide us on our path through life.

Learn how to see, sense, and interpret auras within yourself and others, including children, animals, buildings, and nature. We will discuss unique characteristics in auras, review how they were depicted historically, and reveal how the aura is changing in the twenty-first century.

Join Kala Ambrose for this Special Workshop at the BODHI TREE in Charleston, SC from 6:00pm to 9:00pm on Friday, September 16th 2011.  Registration and more information available at the BODHI TREE.

Sizzling Summer Edition- Universal Magic Bursts Forth this Summer!

Sign on the door to Kala’s Office

Kala working on her new book in her room at the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan My view from the window as I was writing at my desk in the Waldorf. The bright peak in the middle here is the Chrysler building. I was in NYC to being filmed for the Learning Annex for two courses, one about seeing ghosts and the other seeing about auras. Somewhere along the middle of seeing the city in my cab ride on the way back from filming at the Learning Annex, the beauty of the city and the energy of it all was life-enhancing! At the studio filming courses on ghosts and auras As I tuned into the energy of the city, I felt the heart of NYC speak and it said – “Opportunity, Opportunity, Everywhere is Opportunity!” Church for Actors and Artists near Broadway, love it! I heartily agree, anything and everything is available here in NYC and I soaked it in everywhere I went. Next week I’ll share the magic of what happened when I visited the Village of LilyDale Assembly This Summer I visited the Northeast on my Gypsy Wagon Road Trip tour. Last week I shared my adventures at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. If you missed, you can read about it here. After teaching at Omega, I headed over to New York City, driving into Manhattan and staying at a place that I’ve had on my bucket list for a while now, which is the historic Waldorf Astoria hotel. Kala at Lobby Clock at Waldorf Astoria The Waldorf was just as I imagined and I took in every gorgeous detail, including the Lobby Clock. This nine foot clock was built for the World’s Fair in 1893. As I waited to check into the hotel, I was greeted by the chimes of the clock, which ring every fifteen minutes with the beautiful tone of Westminster Chimes.  If you look closely you’ll see carvings in the clock of Washington, Grant, Jackson and even Queen Victoria.  The clock is one of the main focal points at the Waldorf and a wonderful reference when looking to meet up with friends at the hotel, as everyone knows how to find it. After filming at the Learning Annex, we celebrated at the Waldorf’s famous Peacock Bar, which has exquisitive art deco decor. Everywhere I went at the Waldorf triggered past life memories for me of having spent a good amount of time at this hotel previously. I knew my way around the hotel and felt completely comfortable like I had returned back home. Kala celebrating at the Peacock bar

I’m so excited about my new book coming out on September 13th - Ghosthunting North Carolina Pre-Order Your Copy of Ghosthunting North Carolina by Kala Ambrose on Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com Each week I’ll share with you an excerpt of what I discovered and uncovered while researching the haunted sites of North Carolina. Journey with me as we explore haunted lighthouses, forts, and shipwrecked areas of East Carolina where Blackbeard and his pirates still roam and then move across the state and visit the most actively haunted capitol in the US, and continue west into the Blue Ridge Mountains where the pink lady and her friends await your presence. Explore the Haunted History of North Carolina with Kala. First up, The Legend of The Lost Colony of Roanoke! In 1584, explorers were sent to Roanoke Island (a narrow island situated between the Outer Banks and the mainland of North Carolina) by Sir Walter Raleigh to determine if the area would be well suited to establishing a colony. Upon their return, they delivered a positive report of the location, which included a list of the abundant natural resources surrounding the area and findings that Roanoke was better protected from the elements than the Outer Banks. The island appeared all around to be a good choice for a settlement with live oaks and plenty of other trees to build cabins and a variety of wildlife to hunt for food. Sir Walter Raleigh delivered the information to Queen Elizabeth and she granted Raleigh a charter to all the lands that he could claim in the area. The next year Sir Raleigh sent out a group of one hundred men, mostly soldiers and craftsmen to establish the colony under the guidance of Ralph Lane, a military captain. The group met with poor results from the beginning and departed the area. Sir Raleigh responded to the news of Lane’s departure by gathering a party of one hundred and seventeen men, women and children who were willing to sail from England in order to establish a permanent settlement in the New World.   As the group sailed to the New World, their leader John White included in his party his pregnant daughter Eleanor Dare.  Upon their arrival, the situation was hostile on all fronts and the colonists asked John White to return to England to gather support and supplies. Three years after Eleanor gave birth to her daughter Virginia Dare, her father John White returned to Roanoke Island to find everyone and everything missing. All traces of the settlement had disappeared. There was no sign of struggle nor were there any signs of where the group had gone.  His heart raced with terror, were his daughter and his granddaughter alive? Had someone taken them?  There had been no way to get a direct message to them for the past three years. The colonists had no news source and relied on ships that very infrequently stopped in the area. It’s highly likely that the colonists might not have known about the war that had kept White from traveling back to them. They may have presumed White to be dead or lost at sea. What happened to the lost colonists at Roanoke? Do their ghosts remain behind to tell their tale? Journey with Kala in her new book – Ghosthunting North Carolina to find out what she uncovered during her research and what she felt psychically as she visited each location.

Joie De Vivre! My cup runneth over!

You may have read on Explore Your Spirit where I share that the theme of Explore Your Spirit TV is to brings you “Joie de vivre” (french for a cheerful enjoyment of life and an exultation of spirit). Each month I explore a new episode on EYS TV as I interview luminaries who share the joy in living and follow them along their path to see what the best and brightest minds are doing in the mind body spirit community.

Last month, Peaceful Warrior Dan Millman was my guest on Explore Your Spirit TV. His new book, The Four Purposes of Life has something to share with everyone, regardless of where they are in their life. It’s a wonderful gift for high school and college graduates up to retirees looking to start out on their next chapter in life. Check out the interview on Explore Your Spirit TV to see what Dan has to say about his journey and the purpose of life.

I’ve always connected with Joie De Vivre and the concept of living a life of finding joy in every moment. I delight in the simplest of acts and I find that when my energy is connected with joy, everything flows around me and the most delightful, amusing and synchronistic events occur.  For me, that’s often about relishing and delighting in the small things that come along the way, where the Universe shows its sense of humor and says, Hey there, I acknowledge you and what you are doing and you are on the right path.

Today for me, it was a small thing, but I found it so charming that I had to share with you. I had been looking for a cup to take with me while I travel, that would meet a long list of needs that I wanted. This included the cup being durable and able to handle being on the road and getting bounced around and probably dropped a few times as well. This meant it would be probably be plastic, but I wanted to make sure it was a BPA Free plastic, so safe to use. I also wanted it to be double walled, so that it would keep drinks cold and not sweat on me, my books, paperwork and other material while teaching and lecturing at events. Last, and this I thought was the challenge, I wanted it to have a top that would fit securely so it wouldn’t spill while allowing a straw for easy drinking.

With all that in mind, I began my search online to find such a cup and found one that I thought might work. The price was right and so I ordered it after only seeing a tiny square picture of it, which looked like it had a floral design.   It has arrived and the design is beautiful, full of abundant florals and fruits and everything I wanted, double walled, BPA Free, a twist off top that fits securely and has a straw that doesn’t fall out and somehow doesn’t allow spills, even when I tip the cup sideways, wow! Then I see it, and I can’t contain my laughter and delight! There written on the cup is JOIE DE VIVRE!  My very own cup expressing my energy and thoughts, how fortuitous and synchronistic!  Now with each sip of water or other cold beverage I take, I have the beautiful reminder of the joy in my life every day!

It’s all about the little things in life, that can bring such joy to our day.  Take the time to look for these simple signs from the Universe saying, “I love you, I get you, and I resonate with what you are saying.” You’ll begin to see these signs all around, tiny blessings just for you!

Here’s to Joie De Vivre in your Life every day in every way!

Much love,

*~Kala~*

Your Aura Energy is Unique and Powerful

Humanity is entering a new era—we are evolving into super-powered beings of light. Our auric and energy bodies are experiencing a transformational shift as new crystalline structures form within and around our auras.

Would you like to tap into this limitless, boundless energy that is available to you every day?

How about re-energizing yourself to the point that people ask you, how do you find the time to do all that you do and still glow and grow so strong?

Even greater, how would you like to connect with this energy so that creative ideas pour into your thoughts daily, encouraging you to reach your highest potential?

As a intuitive and oracle, I see this energy around each person in their aura and surrounding energy bodies. Over the past decade, the energy bodies around each person are expanding and opening to receive greater communication and down pouring of energy from the higher planes of existence in and around each person.

The result is that we are on the way to becoming super-powered human beings!

I’m also seeing energy in certain areas of the world growing, expanding and opening further to the light and becoming lighthouses of energy, attracting others to their shores in order to raise the vibration and assist in the evolution of the area around them.  I see this in the East Coast of the United States, with tremendous growth resurging in the SouthEast and NorthEast of this land.

Because of this, I am being drawn to travel and teach in the NorthEast this summer, to meet with as many people as I can and show them the magnificence of who they are and what they can do to raise their energy, to raise the energy of their loved ones and to raise the energy in their communities, creating lighthouse centers in every location.

I will be offering workshops in many locations around the Northeast this Summer, including Baltimore, Boston, Pembroke, Rhinebeck, Manhattan, LilyDale, Pittsburgh and other cities along the way.  In each location, I will teach about the aura and the energy bodies and what you can do to raise your energy and change your life today.

I’ve also been asked to film my journey this summer for a documentary as I spread the light across each area. During my travels, it will be my joy to show the beauty, grace and vibrancy of each area I visit, along with the inspiring people I meet along the way.

In each location, including the Omega Institute, The Learning Annex, LilyDale Assembly, Breathe Books, Heaven on Earth, Quaker Friends House, and other locations, I will be teaching how to:

• - Explore the Seven Techniques from the Healing Temples and Mystery Schools, which include Color, Light, Sound, Crystals, Botanicals, Dreams and Nourishment.
• - Enhance your Energy Field in order to communicate with the spirit world
• - Walk the High Priest/Priestess Path of Light to Open and Balance the Heart Chakra using Rituals from the ancient Egyptian teachings.
• - Examine the Intuitive Past-Life Exercises used by the Oracles of ancient Greece.
• - Connect with the Natural Forces and Work with the Elements.
• - Practice Sacred Rituals  including activating the energy of the pyramids
• - Cleanse and Remove  Disharmonious Energy from the Body to Rejuvenate and Restore the Energy Centers.

In my work, I explain how to complete this process in Three Steps.

The first step is understanding that:

1.  “We Are All One, One Energy from One Light. Let Us Band Together as Humans with Love for All of Humanity, Living Each Day in Harmony as We Explore Our Spirit.” – Kala Ambrose

Step Two is, To Accomplish this Goal of Oneness, we must connect with Spirit and Awaken to the Divine Purpose within Each of Us. I explain this concept in the teaching of:

2. “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 it’s highest level, when individuals gather with wisdom, compassion and a discerning desire to provide service to humanity”. – Kala Ambrose

This leads to Step Three, which Activates our Energy Fields which are Evolving and Ready for Us to Engage With Them.  I am seeing Step Three come into action now with many people and I believe that…

3. “In this new decade, we are moving into a new Age of Enlightenment. The Aquarian information from the gods can no longer be contained, the Divine Feminine is being released in all her glory and we will once again see a Renaissance period, where great art, architecture, philosophy, literature and science will develop and flourish. During this decade the greatest minds will stir, to share, to illuminate and to build and create works and ideas that will be marveled around the world.” – Kala Ambrose

Please join me this summer as I journey to spread light, love and joy throughout each area of the Northeast and interact with light workers from around the world. Together, we will expand the energy within ourselves and then share this positive light with every person, place and thing we encounter.  We are on the way to creating a brand new world for each of us, from the inside out!

Visit the EVENTS PAGE on Explore Your Spirit with Kala to find our where to meet me this June and July 2011 as I travel and teach around the Northeast area of the United States. I am delighted that for some of these events I will be teaching with my Dear Friend, Color Intuitive Elizabeth Harper as we combine our wisdom and energy to create powerful moving experiences in each location.

I look forward to sharing this time with you as we co-create together!
