The Energy Dance of Your Aura

Since childhood, author and wisdom teacher Kala Ambrose has seen the aura around people, animals and nature. As a wisdom teacher, Kala shares her lifetimes of experience and training with her students and in workshops around the country. She teaches others how to see auras and more importantly, how to interact with the layers of the auric fields to clear the energy in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual fields of the aura in order to reach their highest and full potential.

Want to know more about your aura and energy bodies? Working with the auric field can potentially release blockages which otherwise may have led to disturbances in the physical body as well as in the mental and emotional fields. This inner transformation marks a historic evolution in our meta-physical bodies, as we are becoming powerful light energy beings who are able to connect with the forces of the earth and with the powers from the higher planes.

Kala’s book, The Awakened Aura: Experiencing the Evolution of Your Energy Body, is being described as the future of energy medicine. In an interview today on Blog Talk Radio, Kala Ambrose, a powerful priestess, wisdom teacher, intuitive and oracle,  shares what she sees in the aura, how it is rapidly evolving and how you can connect with your aura and energy body to expand your awareness and capabilities on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

Listen to the interview on Blog Talk Radio as Kala shares how the aura is evolving and what’s to come in the future.

In this column ‘Ask Kala’, intuitive and ancient wisdom teacher Kala Ambrose, invites you to email your probing metaphysical, esoteric and paranormal questions. Due to the volume of email she receives, she won’t be able to answer back individual e-mails. Instead, she’ll choose interesting questions and answer them here on the Examiner. This week’s question is from Dana.

Hi Kala,

My name is Dana and I live in Sonoma, California. My husband is convinced that I throw off energy fields that affect electronics and I am beginning to believe he’s right. I find if I’m particularly stressed with work, I will have computer issues. Today I was turning on the TV for my son and our DVR in our bedroom went dead. We went into his room and the same thing happened. When I walked out of the room it rebooted. I came back in and sat down and it went dead. I left and it rebooted! Also since childhood I have had dreams that come true. Most often they are about something bad or negative that is going to happen, almost a warning. Am I losing my mind or is there some kind of negative energy I’m emitting?

Thanks for reading this, Dana

Hi Dana,

Thanks for writing. You ask, Could your energy affect the electronics in your home? The shortest answer is Yes, it can. Your husband appears to be very perceptive in noticing the correlations between the events and your energy field.

As a psychic, I see the aura around people, which is a flexible field of energy around the body with many layers. The level closest to your body, is described as the etheric body and in a sense, it’s the battery of the body, receiving and emiting electrical impulses in and out from your body. You bring energy in and you release energy, all through the auric body. There are many layers extending outward from the etheric body including the mental layer and the emotional layer, both of which are also energy fields where we store and emit energy and we bring this energy into and down into the physical body from these layers.

With our hectic lifestyles and fast paced life, we often aren’t able to release pent up energy from inside of us and it builds up until in a sense, it erupts outward to release.  For some people, they release this in bursts of anger, others cry when the energy builds up to a certain level, and some people release it with a nervous energy (examples include: hair twirling, fidgety hands, and rocking the legs while sitting). For some people, who also tend to be more connected with the spiritual planes, they release this pent up energy in a wave, I refer to it as an energy blast, which can affect the environment around them.  One way that these people begin to notice this effect, is that they will find when walking or driving by street lights, that the lights will go off or turn on when they pass by. If this has happened to you, you are releasing energy.

In your case, were you and I meeting in the physical, I could read your aura which would tell me about the energy around you and what has been building up inside and what layers are holding the energy build up– in the mental, emotional, physical or higher levels.  Let me also say, that just because energy is building up, it doesn’t mean that it is necessarily negative by the way.  I build up energy all the time to use for creative endeavors in my work and this energy creates great waves that allow me to accomplish a lot at the same time. This energy is a gift and used wisely, can be extremely helpful. It typically requires some instruction though, to learn how to build and cultivate this energy, which is what I teach as as an esoteric wisdom teacher and describe in chapter four of my book 9 Life Altering Lessons –  ‘We are a sea of energy, floating in vibratory fields’.

The current over-abundance of energy that you are emitting, can affect lights and other electronics when released in a quick blast. Think of it as an energy surge.  Typically this indicates that you are not aware of the energy you are releasing and so it comes as a surprise when an electronic device is affected.  For many people, they emit this energy the strongest when they are agitated, stressed or in a high emotional state (positive or negative). The next time this happens, stop right away and ask yourself, how am I feeling, what’s on my mind right now? Also ask your husband what he has noticed each time it happens. Gather this information and you will be able to discern what the triggers are that set off your energy spikes.  You mention that you have noticed that it occurs when you very stressed. The next time that you find the stress building in you while working, take a moment to step away and take a few deep breaths, pulling clear, cool air into your body, down into your lungs and hold it there for a moment. Then release the air fully through your mouth and visualize the stress leaving your body through the air you are expelling. Do this three times and notice how different you feel after just doing this for a minute. It won’t take away the work you have at hand, but physically, you will feel more relaxed and able to tackle the project at hand without the stress building up as high in your body and in your energy fields.

The good news is, you’re a highly intuitive being, who is connecting through the many energetic levels in your auric body. This means you have a healthy working aura and if you choose, you can learn more about how to harness this energy and use it in a creative and loving way. I’m currently writing a book about the aura and energy fields and the effect of these fields on each person. Over the past decade, I have seen the energy fields expanding and I believe we will begin to see greater activity within these fields, which some describe currently as paranormal activity. In the future as we evolve as a species, more of these unsolved mysteries will be commonplace and considered to be a natural sixth sense, rather than a supernatural one.

In this column ‘Ask Kala’, intuitive and ancient wisdom teacher Kala Ambrose, invites you to email your probing metaphysical, spiritual, esoteric and paranormal questions. Due to the volume of email she receives, she won’t be able to answer back individual e-mails. Instead, she’ll choose interesting questions and answer them here on the Examiner. This week’s question is from Kelley.

Kelley writes – “Hello Kala, I have a digital alarm clock that I used to have to reset every 5 days or so because it gained time. I’ve had this clock a few years and its always been this way. My mother’s room was adjacent to mine. She recently died and since then I haven’t had to reset my clock!! Could she have affected the clock’s mechanism? It sounds weird but a few years ago she went to see a psychic who I had seen as well as other members of my family. He knew the names of deceased relatives, etc. There was no problem reading me or other members of my family. And no, we didn’t volunteer information as we were somewhat skeptical and didn’t want to give him any clues he could work from. Anyway, my mother went to see him and he was stumped. He tried and tried but he couldn’t read her. Are there people who can affect clocks, etc without knowing it? Thank you”.

Hi Kelley,

Thanks for writing with a most intriguing question. You ask – “Are there people who can affect clocks, etc without knowing it”?

The short answer is Yes and it has been studied, researched and discussed by people in both the spiritual and scientific realms.

The Aura Body and Energy

As an intuitive, I’ve seen auras since childhood. Over the years, I began to study what I saw in the aura, observing the energetic patterns and shapes as well as short energy bursts that I would see erupting from the body, similar to what occurs when the sun emits a solar flare. These energetic bursts are capable of disrupting electronics and are felt by other people who have intuitive ability and are sensitive to energy. Some people are aware of the energy they can build and for others it is a complete surprise when it occurs.

In some cases, it is not a burst of energy that is created, but rather energy residue that has built up and is trapped within the aura and energy bodies and is not able to be released properly. To imagine what this looks like in the field surrounding the body, visualize a thunder storm right before the rain is released from the clouds. The clouds are heavy and full, the energy gathers and the air feels pregnant, ready for a release. If the conditions are not right and the rain is not able to gently fall, tumultuous weather patterns can occur with lightning and high winds. Energy blocked in the fields can cause similar disruptions as it seeks to be released. When there is a blockage which stops the release of energy, it builds like a thunderstorm and can create havoc.

There are also people who have learned consciously with their spiritual practice, and sometimes subconsciously carrying over information from previous lifetimes, to balance and harness this energy. They are able to take this energy to creative positive effects in the world including healing abilities in many forms, such as physical healing, soul healing, working with nature and raising the energy vibration of people and places wherever they are.

What About the Clocks

Each of the three energy types listed above can have an effect on the electronics near their energy field. I receive reports each year from people who have experiences including turning street lights on and off as they pass by them. Others affect the performance of radios, clocks, computers and televisions or cause lights, security alarms and other electronics in their home to turn off and on repeatedly. For many years, I was not able to wear a watch, as invariably, when I did, the watch would malfunction or stop completely. I’ve also had a similar effect on clocks, including the clock that I kept in the library where I taught the esoteric teachings for years. The clock would never keep the time and would randomly change the time often and then stop working completely. The clock was looked at to see if it was in need of repair and it was found to be in good working order. The batteries would be replaced with new batteries only to run down again quickly.

There are a variety of physical, emotional and spiritual reasons for why this happens. For some people, it occurs only when their emotions are running very high and for others it was a random event occurring only when they were going through puberty. Some of these people are tapping into what is described in parapsychology as psychokinesis/telekinesis (PK/TK). While there are skeptics who will say that the human body is not capable of affecting these fields, those who have experienced doing so first hand see the results.

Scientific Study

There has been some scientific parapsychological research on this effect, including what is referred to as the Pauli effect. Further research needs to be continued on psychokinesis, expanded consciousness and expanded energy fields so that it can be further understood. Unfortunately, there has not been enough support with funding for many institutes to continue these studies at the level needed to provide the deeper research needed. Some of the most notable researchers in this field of study include J.B. Rhine (Rhine Research Center), Professor Bill Roll (University of West Georgia), Dean Radin (Institute of Noetic Sciences) and Robert Jahn and Roger Nelson (PEAR laboratory at Princeton).

A form of psychokinesis/telekinesis was recently featured in the film with George Clooney entitled The Men Who Stare at Goats, which focused on the US Army’s research into psi abilities. Another example would be the fictional book and film by Stephen King entitled Carrie, which displayed an extreme and negative show of psi ability with PK/TK force.

Universal Mysteries

I’m currently writing a book about the aura and energy fields and the effect of these fields on each person. Over the past decade, I have seen the energy fields expanding and I believe we will begin to see greater activity within these fields, which some describe currently as paranormal activity. In the future as we evolve as a species, more of these unsolved mysteries will be commonplace and considered to be a natural sixth sense, rather than a supernatural one.

Dr. Deanna Minich is an internationally-known nutritionist with a unique approach to holistic health, food and nutrition. She combines the various facets of her background integrating her academic training in medicine with her study of energy work including shamanic healing practices, reiki, yoga and intuition, the results of which have been published in several books through Red Wheel/Weiser/Conari. Through her years of experience, she has uncovered the art and unification of what occurs when food is connected with spirit. Recently, I sat down to speak with Deanna to learn more about her practical applications and work to help people achieve what she describes as …‘bridging the gap between the earthly body of our being and the heavenly essence of our soul.

Kala: Deanna, wonderful to speak with you again. I enjoyed having you as a guest on the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show where we discussed your book, Chakra Foods for Optimum Health .Today, I’d like to speak with you about your book: Quantum Supplements; A Total Health and Wellness Makeover with Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs. Deanna, what prompted you to write this book?

Deanna: When we think about nourishment, it is important to think about everything that we ingest. Of course, everyone eats food, and with many people wanting to take control of their health, they are also taking dietary supplements in some form or another, whether it’s a daily multi-vitamin, vitamin C tablet, or Echinacea if they feel they are becoming unwell. In addition, an increasing number of health care practitioners are implementing nutritional therapy in their practices, prescribing dietary supplements such as omega-3 oils or probiotics. As a result, there is more awareness about using supplemental nutrients overall.

Kala: How does nutrition affect the chakra system?

Deanna: Everything we do, say, think, and eat impacts our well-being. It is all “information” for the body to digest and transform. We have our physical body, which uses the nutrients from food as energy to live. In the ancient spiritual texts in India, they refer to more subtle aspects of our being – an “energy body” – which will respond to our environment just like our physical body. Our being is wired with paths for this subtle energy to travel on. There are certain places in the body where these “energy highways” coalesce – these intersections are the “chakras” or main energy centers. In Sanskrit, “chakra” means wheel, and, thus, this term is used to refer to the nature of these energy centers – they flux energy in and out of our being. In Western medicine, we might say that they correspond to the major endocrine glands of the body. Essentially, the way that I see chakras is as subtle and symbolic. Each of them connect to a specific aspect of our being: structure, emotions, power, love, authenticity, intuition, and interconnectedness. There is no doubt that food, supplements, and eating hook into each of these aspects of who we are. For example, instead of expressing our emotions, we may stuff them down with food. Instead of telling someone you love them, we may make them a meal. Rather than say what we want to eat, we may let someone else determine what goes in our mouth. Therefore, there are healthy and unhealthy ways to connect foods/nutrients/eating to these aspects.

Kala: How can the vibrational properties of vitamins, minerals and herbs help to balance our body and restore energy?

Deanna: By being in tune with what we need, we can use vitamins, minerals, and herbs to get us into balance. Just like foods, each vitamin, mineral, and herb carries its unique energetic signature. Minerals will be more dense and physical (think of iron, zinc, and calcium), vitamins act as catalysts (B vitamins are used for metabolizing carbohydrates), and herbs contain inherent information for healing (think of the origins of aspirin, white willow bark). I think it is beneficial to tap into supplements as needed. For example, perhaps we are living a stressful life. We are over-committed, over-tasked, and overwhelmed. What may happen is that our physiology begins to “mirror” our surroundings. We may start to feel on overdrive from within – our blood sugar may be erratic, our insulin levels may be overextended. Taking the mineral, chromium, or supplementing with herbs such as extracts from bitter melon and cinnamon, may help to provide the vibration we need to rope ourselves back into balance mode.

Kala: Are supplements enough to bring the body back into balance? For example, the american diet is so full of processed food, can one continue to eat processed food and maintain balance with the use of supplements?

Deanna: I don’t believe in “quick fixes” or “silver bullets”. Supplements are one therapy on a palette of many other options. They are potent substances, but also need the support of healthy, vibrant eating, movement, thinking, and emoting. Without everything else in combination, they may not be as powerful as they truly could be. I believe that the first approach to becoming well and maintaining balance is to look at one’s lifestyle. Are you overworking? Are you passionate about what you do and how you live? If not, perhaps some changes need to be made. Eating nourishing foods will be helpful, and eating them in a mindful, loving way will be even better at assisting one in finding balance. An individual’s surroundings may be so stressful that he or she can eat all the nutrient-dense food they want, but they may need added protection. An example would be living in a polluted city. In this instance, a healthy eating regimen combined with appropriate supplements can be of value.

Kala: There’s a huge debate about vitamins, some say that cold pressed vitamins don’t have much nutritional value. What are your feelings on the best way to absorb nutrients?

Deanna: First of all, I think it’s important to examine the health of the gut. Is your gut in a healthy state? I believe it’s better to start here so you can absorb everything you need to optimally rather than focus on the other way around – find supplements that can be absorbed in an unhealthy gut. There are a number of ways to heal an unhealthy gut – the first is to remove the offending substances that you eat. Find out what you are allergic to by working with a healthcare practitioner. Note that most of your immune system is in the gut, so if you are eating foods that you are allergic to, you will be creating an immune response every time you eat. You may also need to examine whether you are stressed when you eat, whether you eat too much, and if you are eating the proper amount at times that your digestion is robust (like eating a larger meal in the afternoon rather than in late evening before bedtime). Supplements such as pancreatic enzymes, probiotics, and fiber may be important in helping to heal the gut. Regarding absorbing nutrients, make sure you follow the instructions provided on the label. If it states to take with food, it’s probably because it’s a fat-soluble substance or it needs food to facilitate its absorption. There may be other supplements that are best absorbed and used by the body when taken throughout the day rather than in one dose, like calcium. Since we only absorb 20-25% of calcium on average, it is better to take smaller amounts throughout the day rather than one huge pill.

Kala: You’re also the author of: An A to Z Guide to Food Additives: Never Eat What You Can’t Pronounce. Sadly, I think 80 percent of what we see in products in the grocery store contain label descriptions that are difficult to pronounce. Why are our foods filled with such complicated ingredients?

Deanna: Our foods are filled with these “unpronounceables” because the majority of consumers want food to be convenient, cheap, abundant, and good tasting. As a result, the food industry responds to this consumer demand by creating additive-laden foods so they can sit on the shelves longer at a low price. As Michael Pollan has said, “We vote with our fork.”

We need to take the responsibility as consumers to demand high-quality foods by speaking out, and by not supporting the purchase of the lower quality items. We put our energy where our money is. If we want to change, we need to start with our next food purchase, food selection in a restaurant, and, ultimately, with the next bite of food.

I would say that your best bet is to shop the perimeter of the store where there are more fresh foods rather than face the complicated foods in the “guts of the store” that are disguised in cardboard, metal, plastic, and Styrofoam.

Kala: Are there some additives that you’d like to attach a red light to and say Stop! Never eat these?

Deanna: Absolutely! There are some additives that don’t do you any good to eat, and, in fact, may cause deleterious effects when consumed over a long period of time. One of them is TRANS FATS. Trans fats were created by the food industry to stabilize fats in a food. Now we know that they are awful for our cardiovascular system. They increase our bad cholesterol and reduce our good cholesterol, so not a good effect overall. As of 2006, it became the law to list trans fat content on Nutrition Facts Labels. However, if the content of trans fats is less than 0.5 grams, the food manufacturer can list the content of trans fats as zero! Therefore, you need to read the ingredient list, and if you see anything that says “partially hydrogenated” on it, be advised that it most likely has trans fats in it. The other “never” ingredient is ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS. I think that if we are eating a healthy diet, we will find these substances to be too sweet, and they may encourage cravings. Aside from potential cravings, many of them may have side effects, often neurological ones like headaches and dizziness in some people. I would avoid them at all costs!

Kala: Any tips you’d like to share with us on how best to shop and prepare our meals?

Deanna: The best way to shop is to make sure that you are not stressed when you are making food choices. Use the grocery store as a sanctuary. Enter into it in a meditative, purely calm state so that you can listen to what your body truly needs. In preparing your meals, do the same. Ensure that you like your kitchen, that you want to be in it – paint it a color that makes you feel creative. Orange is the color for creativity so that may be a good place to start. Light some candles, play some music, and create your meal. Whether you are shopping, or preparing or eating food, the most important part of all is that you feel your body and soul are nourished.

Kala: Deanna, a pleasure as always. Thanks for taking the time to share information on having a healthier lifestyle!

Deanna: The pleasure is mine! I enjoy getting the word out about healthy eating. If your readers want daily tips, please have them sign up for the “Food and Spirit Facebook Fan Page” or they can sign up for my newsletter via my website at www.foodandspirit.com. Nourishing wishes to all!

The experience of seeing auras is a complex subject to unravel. I’ve seen auras around people since I was a child. It never occurred to me that others did not see auras as well. For example, when you walk outside and it’s a sunny day and the light is so bright that it makes you squint, do you run to other people and ask, “Do you see the light outside, does it make you close your eyes a little, is the light yellow in color to you”? You don’t ask these questions, you just assume that what you experience is what others are also experiencing.

My first inkling that I was seeing something different occurred in elementary school. We had been assigned to draw a picture of our home and family. While coloring each family member, I colored outside the lines portraying the colors I saw around each person. I also colored around the tree I had drawn, as I see the auras of plants and trees. When my picture was critiqued, I was told that I had not done a good job since I had colored outside of the lines. As an empath, I picked up that the teacher was very displeased with my work, but I could not understand why. That brief conversation opened the door to my eventual understanding that others did not see colors around other people the way that I did. This was the beginning of my journey to read auras and determine what the colors and images that I saw in the auras meant.

While it is fairly easy to learn to see an aura, understanding what the colors and images surrounding the aura represent, is something entirely different all together. To discern what the colors and shapes mean around a person at a particular time requires intuition, practice and an understanding of the spiritual planes and fields around the body.

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. This pamphlet is still available for sale through the A.R.E. catalog online.

From my experience in reading auras over the years, I’ve found that they are almost as unique as fingerprints. While some characteristics are similar in form including swirls and shades of color, each individual creates a distinctive pattern, which appears in their auric field. This field is comprised by the individual’s thoughts and emotions, as well as manifestations of energy coming into the body and thought forms, which have been around the person for some time.

People, who are able to view auras, see and sense them at different levels. Some are more attuned to see physical dis-ease before it enters the physical body. They may also see emotional distress in the auric field, or glimpses of the akashic records being worked through in this lifetime or they may just see the energy in motion around the person, which reflects their general wellbeing.

In my work as an esoteric wisdom teacher, I teach students how to 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. I continue to experience new revelations when seeing auras and giving aura readings for people.

In the past ten years, I’ve seen new structures around the auras, that I do not recall having seen before. My theory on this new design in the auric field is that we are evolving at a fast pace and our energy bodies are being attuned right before our very eyes. It is happening so rapidly 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 the past four years, I have seen this gain even greater momentum, and the structures, which surround the auric field and energy bodies appear different in people according to their age and state of well-being. What I have seen forming in all stages of life is overwhelmingly positive and awe inspiring, so much so that I am now teaching a new workshop on auras at the Omega Institute in New York this summer, to explain how they are leading the evolution of our light bodies.

Auras, like so many natural gifts given to us, are powerful conductors of energy. Used consciously and with an understanding of their ability to be a pure vessel to hold the light, we can transform ourselves body, mind and spirit. In many ways they represent the symbolic sarcophagus, allowing us the opportunity and sacred space in which to regenerate, transmute and transform.

Book: Life Beyond 100
Author: Dr. Norm Shealy
Publisher: Tarcher

As the new year approaches, we’ll raise our glasses in a toast to health, wealth and prosperity. When we enjoy good health, all things are possible and we have the energy and vitality to create and manifest our goals and dreams. Continuing our 12 Days – 12 Gifts of Enlightement series, the countdown marches on as we’re moving on to Gift Number 7, which is: Give the Gift of Health and Vitality.

The awareness of a Body-Mind and Spirit cohesion, manifests the enlightened human in all forms – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This connection has been taught in esoteric spirituality throughout the ages and now is recognized in the realms of science as quantum physics discerns that every cell carries energy and vibration and can be affected by conscious thought. In the new millennium, east and west philosophies are metaphorically shaking hands, agreeing to work together to blend contemporary scientific knowledge with ancient wisdom integrative practices from India, China and Egypt. Emerging from this partnership, is the return and renewal of holistic medicine, which focuses on pro-active patterns of creating and continuing to keep the body in a harmonic state of wellness, rather than having the body descend into a pattern of illness or dis-ease, in which attention is then turned to the body for repair.

As this transformation of awareness in the body occurs, a critical missing link has resurfaced — the importance of holistic nutrition to sustain and nourish the body from the cellular level onward to create harmony and vitality. Dr. Deanna M. Minich, a guest on the Explore Your Spirit show, is a nutritionist, researcher and counselor with a Ph.D. in medical sciences and human nutrition. Author of Chakra Foods for Optimum Health, her new book is : Quantum Supplements: A Total Health and Wellness Makeover with Vitamins, Minerals and Herbs.

Dr. Minich’s informational guide explains the concept of vibrational energy-healing in foods and reveals the life affirming properties of vitamins, minerals, herbs and botanicals including how they activate and balance the body’s natural energy centers and chakras. Of equal importance, she discusses contraindications, which explain how too much of a particular supplement can be harmful, which has been a much neglected area of study in the field of supplements. This go to guide will serve as a handy reference for years to come and makes a great gift for the holidays and new year. Imagine receiving a gift basket full of books on holistic health and healing, complete with a selection of organic foods and fresh fruits and vegetables, which verily abounds with good energy.

To create your gift basket of health, also add any of the works of Dr. Norm Shealy. Legendary neurosurgeon and holistic health leader, Dr. Norman Shealy was instrumental in creating The American Holistic Medical Association, which continues to emphasize the spiritual component of healing. Holding over ten patents for innovative discoveries and author of over 24 books, his latest is Life Beyond 100 – Secrets of the Fountain of Youth. Dr. Shealy discusses leading-edge therapies and breakthroughs in the science of longevity. By following commonsense habits, we can expect to achieve an average lifespan of one hundred years. The fountain of youth according to Dr. Shealy, includes a practice and awareness of mind and body techniques which contribute to active, vital healthy living. His interview on Life Beyond 100, can be heard here in the archives of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala show.

Another fine edition to add to the collection is from co-founder of the Chopra Center, Dr. David Simon. Dr. Simon is a mind-body physician and author of Free to Love, Free to Heal: Heal Your Body by Healing Your Emotions. He shares that negative emotions can be addressed and resolved, which can lead the body into healing. His book delves into why masking symptoms will never alleviate the root of the problem and discusses how to take responsibility for your illness but not take blame and why managed care is not working and what to do instead. For more information, listen to my interview with Dr. Simon here.

For the holistically connected metaphysician in your life, I highly recommend these books and studies as stimulating reading. Perhaps the best gift we have received in the 21st century is the revolutionary turn that the field of medicine is taking – as more and more physicians are speaking out about health and healing and sharing their revelations and new discoveries. A plethora of books are now available sharing the fascinating research ongoing with the body-mind-spirit connection. To find out about more leading edge research in this field, visit the Healthy Holistic Living archives of Explore Your Spirit and listen to a wide variety of interviews with the world’s leading doctors and researchers as they share their findings on this topic.

Perhaps the best gift we can give or receive is as the old adage states, “to stop and smell the roses”. Taking the time each day to adopt simple practices such as breathing deeply, creating ten minute mental breaks and gentle stretching can provide tremendous benefit to our well-being. After working for hours hunched over a computer screen, lean back and stretch! Stand up and slowly take a deep breath in and blow out. Stretch your arms over your head. Gently turn side to side and stretch your body slowly, feel each muscle as it is stretched, while breathing in a slow, relaxed manner. Be aware of your body, your neck, your shoulders, back, arms, and hands. Work your way gently down your body, stretching each part and while doing so, continue to breathe deeply and connect with your body, silently thanking it for all that it does for you.

This can also be done while sitting at your desk, sit back for a moment, relax your arms and stretch. A simple three minute break of stretching, combined with deep breathing and relaxing, can clear your thoughts and bring renewed energy to your body, making you feel better and create renewed clarity and focus to the project on hand.

Simple, yet highly effective, these gifts are easy and the rewards are long lasting. “Bona valetudo melior est quam maximae divitiae”. Translation: “Good health is worth more than the greatest wealth.”
