The Clarion Call of Wise Woman Wisdom with Kala

“Today, I see how strong the energy of the wise woman and divine feminine ran in me and I’ve connected with my past lives and understand the parts I’ve played in previous lives and how they have culminated into who I am today.” – Kala Ambrose

Are you feeling the Clarion Call of the Wise Woman? Does your heart race and your senses tingle when you see something that reminds you of the old ways, whether they be Celtic, Egyptian, Greek or others? If so, the Divine Feminine is calling your name.

The time has come for women to explore a journey of self-enlightenment, releasing the goddess energy within, rekindling lost dreams and awakening the ancient spirits and legends of the ones who came before us.

It’s time to rediscover the High Priestess living within you. Explore your goddess roots and history on a soul stirring spiritual journey and discover the magic that lives within you.

The Spirit of the Divine Feminine has a wish for you, for a wonder filled life, full of magic and power.  Come dance in the moonlight with your divine sisters and discover who you were born to be!

Be the Change You Want to See in Your Community

Wicked at the Durham Performing Arts Center

Check out my new article on HuffPo, can you do something local like this to support artists and entrepreneurs? Be the change you want to see in your community!

As I connect with the introspective energy of the winter season, I find that I am grateful to be living in the state of North Carolina. Over the years, I’ve found that my local area, known collectively as the Triangle, has blossomed in a balanced way, keeping a sense of decorum and dignity in a world that seems to be going mad lately. Sure there are struggles here in the state like everywhere else, but in spite of the situation, what stands out the most are the people here who are quick to reach out and help others and pull together with a strong entrepreneurial spirit. It may the most valuable resource that the state has, for when we invest in people, we invest in the future of the community….

Children Who Foresee Their Future

On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with Dr. Gregg Korbin about his book, Beyond Reason: Lessons from the Loss of a Gifted Child. Sometimes people enter our lives and change us forever. Author Gregg Korbon’s son, Brian, was such a person. In Beyond Reason, Gregg shares the story of his sweet and brilliant nine-year-old child. Though healthy, Brian told his parents he was going to die before he reached “double digits” (age ten). Six months later, after scoring the first run of his Little League career, he collapsed.

Though his death garnered media attention, the mysteries before and after his death were never shared. Brian foresaw his future, gave himself a going away party, and left good-bye gifts and a note telling his parents not to worry about him. After his death, Brian’s influence continued. His father—a rational physician who did not believe in metaphysical phenomena—embarked on a mystical journey through grief into a creative world he did not know existed. What he learned by healing stretched the capabilities of his reasonable mind.

More About Dr. Gregg Korbin:
Gregg Korbon enlisted in the army after high school and served as an artillery officer during the Vietnam era. He then attended Duke University and Duke University School of Medicine, specializing in anesthesiology and pain management. Dr. Korbon taught at Duke and the University of Virginia medical schools, entered private practice, and now directs an outpatient surgery center. He has authored books and research articles and developed new techniques that are widely used in his field. Dr. Korbon has also had a long-standing interest in outdoor education and is a senior facilitator at the University of Virginia’s Poplar Ridge challenge course. While an undergraduate at Duke, he created a weeklong adventure course for incoming freshmen, now called Project W.I.L.D. (Wilderness Initiative Learning at Duke), which became a model for many university outdoor programs. He holds a black belt in tae kwon do, a brown belt in judo, and has logged over forty thousand miles as a bicycle commuter. Dr. Korbon has known challenge and pain, but it was only through the death of his son that he found their common source. He lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia with his wife and children.



How Energy Cords Connect to Your Aura

How energy cords connect to the aura is the topic of my new article on John Edward’s Infinite Quest.

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. Read the rest of this article on John Edward’s Infinite Quest.

I’ll be back on the show here on John Edward’s Infinite Quest show on January 19th at 10pm EST where I’ll read auras live via Skype for viewers, come join me! :-)

Eager to Know
What’s Coming in 2012
and Beyond?
In Fall 2011, Kala was asked by the Learning Annex to write her psychic predictions in regards to her work as a Business Intuitive.
Intrigued, she wrote over 11 pages of predictions regarding the future of business and new business trends not just for 2012, but the decade beyond. 
She covers a tremendous amount of detail on what is to come for the world in regards to business and the econony.
The Learning Annex book was published in Dec 2011 with predictions from Kala and other leading psychics.
To begin, Kala explains that…

“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

Here’s Part Two of
Kala’s predictions:
Kala’s Predictions on:
 Housing and Commercial Real Estate Market
A housing readjustment is needed and interest rates will go up. New technology in housing will bring a resurgence in the market, as developers turn their attention to renovating and rebuilding trendy downtown areas with new features that attract buyers including tax breaks to buy new homes and condos. These include environmental attractions such as solar panels, urban gardens and rooftop gardens, as well as interior features such as moveable walls, in loft style apartments that allow people to expand and contract their living space as needed. Imagine moving walls to open up the space for a party and moving them back later to create a guest room when needed.  Transportation will play a major role in this economic development, as more cities get on board with public transportation and less cars crowding the streets.Another opportunity will be for some of the commercial office parks which are now empty, to be turned into housing for a specific type of community, such as senior housing. Many of these commercial buildings have excellent parking and cafeterias built into the buildings, along with large conference rooms, all of which are feasible to turn into senior centers.

Federal and state governments may also offer tax breaks to the corporations who sell these centers at a substantial discount to private schools who wish to turn them into educational centers as they already have labs in place and are set for technology for a new 21st century style teaching.

One of the perks for technology corporations to do this is that the school includes the company name as part of the naming of the school and this company may provide computers and guest teachers and tutors to train students in technology. Others may be medical based and teach science and medicine or offer the arts, humanities, and business.

Corporations become sponsors of these new schools, and are able to hire the best and brightest from these schools, which eliminate the need for college for some of these students, being hired directly from this highly evolved and focused private high school with many courses being at the collegiate level.
Many students and parents will praise this idea as a highly effective way to allow students to learn what interests them the most and get a jumpstart on creating what they love as a career.
Kala’s Predictions on:
 Education and Employment Integrations

Some corporation’s jump on this school sponsored bandwagon with an integrated version of donating part of their commercial space for a private school, while keeping the other buildings in their complex strictly for employees. Students will be invited to participate at times with the company in projects. Integration and real world training is key for the 21st century in order to engage new generations into how business is moving and transforming so quickly.

With the rising costs of college, along with heavy student loan debt, entrepreneurship will become a leading trend over going to college for many. Colleges will continue to be useful to educate doctors, lawyers, and other specific schools of this need, but many will find they can train in specialized private schools like this and jump off from this into the career of their choosing.  The future will focus on how creative and adaptive people are in their line of work, while recognizing that on the job training is highly effective. Universities will become more specialized as well, focusing on medicine, law or other types of specialized training.

Libraries evolve into expert centers, where the librarians themselves are engaging with the public to help them with information they are seeking. Libraries become the new lecture centers, bringing in authors to talk about their work, and video taping these segments to show online. As they evolve into expert centers, they grow into a speaker’s bureau and their online presence grows. They also share these videos with other libraries around the world. This leads to one of the largest expansions of libraries as information sources with expert appeal. It becomes en vogue to speak at the library and be filmed as an expert in your field and librarians work with schools and community resources to recommend speakers and experts for events, receiving a fee for doing so by the speakers. College libraries follow suit, offering video interviews and lectures from their professors including videos of labs, in the field research and panel debates, offering more exposure to each professor’s and department’s work. This expands into public school libraries allowing teachers to explain on video their curriculum for the year, what they are teaching as well as tutorials for large projects assigned, so that parents can watch these videos online and understand what is expected of their children in each class each year and have advanced knowledge of the projects and due dates. Tutorials on courses are also offered online through the school libraries. This eliminates the confusion between children relating assignments to parents or limited paperwork that often doesn’t make its way home.

To save money and expand, libraries also join forces with museums, sharing commercial space and becoming living museums and learning centers through their combined efforts.

Kala’s Predictions on:
Automobiles 
Cars will evolve to include more personalized order. Rather than seeing giant car lots in the future with rolled off the factory generic cars, consumers will be able to order more customization and hand pick what they want and don’t want in their cars. As iPad’s and other devices of this nature advance, cars will come with designated areas that hold devices of this nature, which allow the consumer to use their iPad for navigation, radio, TV and DVD showings, eliminating the need for these screens, as well as GPS and other devices in the cars. The iPad attaches into the car and is able to be removed by the consumer taking it with them throughout their day, so that all their personal interests stay with them.A new automobile feature will emerge which allows customers to customize the paint on their car, so they can order a customized car with their company’s logo, their favorite sports team, or other brands of your choice. Think of it as branding tattoo’s for the car. Interior options for seating with sport logos and other brands will also be offered.

The key to innovation in this business and others will be all about quality and giving people specific items that they desire.

Kala’s Predictions on:
Politics
and the
Stock Market

If she wants it, this is Hillary Clinton’s election to win in 2012. She’d have to look past running against an incumbent president, but he’s ready to step down and let it happen. 2012 is her year to win.
2012-2014 present two more years of unstable market periods, which are needed to make necessary changes and adjust the market from the enormous waves of instability. 2015 is a rebuilding year and 2016 brings new growth.
Kala’s Predictions on:

The Future of Healthcare

 New healthcare options are available including video appointments with your doctor via a WEB MD Skype-like channel that is set up between doctor offices and your insurance, so that you can pay your deductible online, insurance is taken care of and you have a private consultation with your doctor online via video.This skyrockets, with new technology, including plug in machines going through your computer that check your blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar with real time reports going directly to your doctor during your video appointment with him.  New technology expands with pulse oxidation and other procedures.  Nurse practitioners are also available for follow up meetings, and checkups. Parents find this very helpful with sick children, rather than having to bring them to the office, though of course, many times, this initial meeting will lead to the patient being scheduled to come into the office if the doctor needs a more detailed exam of the patient.

In addition, this allows you to meet with other doctors and specialists covered in your insurance plan that work in other states. Instead of traveling, if you want a second opinion by a specialist in New York, while you are living in Arizona, you can arrange a video appointment online with this specialist for a second opinion and have a meeting with them to confer about treatments.  Medical billing is all done via computer online and set up as well with long term payment options when needed.

One of the groups to jump on this market will be plastic surgeons who set up “lay-a-way” type accounts, where patients can create a savings account and pay into this account before having an elective plastic surgery.

Another feature will be that when you set up your account, you will be able to select the pharmacy of your choice and when you doctor prescribes a medication for you, he will be able to do this online while meeting with you and online order the prescription for you at the pharmacy of your choice. Since this prescription is typed in, there is less chance of error by pharmacists attempting to read poor handwriting by doctors. You are also able to have a record of your prescription, how long you have been on medications and will receive online notices when a prescription needs to be refilled.

Doctors making house calls will also become popular, where they follow up visiting patients with long term care and disabilities and for patients who are ill with flu and other conditions making it hard for them to get out of bed.

Doctors will work with companies who can come in and assess the house for the best in home health care and treatment such as for long-term illness and even better designs in the home for those who suffer with asthma and allergies.  Some doctors will choose to have smaller offices, choosing instead to rent space inside or near hospitals and bounce between their small office and making house calls.

In home personalized services are on the rise, from private yoga instruction to chefs who come in and cook meals for a week and refrigerate them, to doctors making house calls and therapeutic services like massage. Drug manufacturers will ask to advertise on these online programs, offering coupons for products also available in the pharmacy.

Kala’s Predictions on:
 Careers that Must Adapt
to Thrive
General Life Coaches fall out of favor; instead Experts in their particular field of expertise are hired to give advice and coach. Much like you go to a specialist for a medical procedure, you work with an Expert Coach in the particular field that you are interested in pursuing.  The Coach has years of experience and education in their field and can also be hired to come on board and work for the company as a contracted consultant for a period of time. This leads to new career paths where executives who were pushed out of corporations in early retirement, can continue to work in the fields they love and share their years of experience.Contractors need to think outside the box to start drumming up business during this construction slump. Out of work construction and home renovation companies need to become more innovative. Collaborative efforts will benefit both companies and customers such as approaching subdivisions, which have councils that send out newsletters to everyone in the subdivision, introducing the contractors to a new market. Contractors who offer a discount to a subdivision where three or more neighbors book the work at the same time can be very beneficial. If for example a contractor builds screen porches, they can offer a subdivision wide discount where if homeowners purchase this project during this three-month period, they will receive a substantial discount. Book all the jobs in this subdivision and keep your crew in this one area working for an entire quarter.

This way when one job slows down due to the need for an inspection or parts that didn’t arrive, crews can quickly move to another house in the same subdivision and begin work on a tear down or framing and move back to the other house when parts and supplies arrive.
Along with cutting down travel costs and drive time for crews, it allows for multiple deliveries to arrive at one subdivision, for multiple houses.  In addition, the community enjoys watching the progress on each house and comparing notes on the various designs.  If they like your work, they’re guaranteed to recommend you to other subdivisions and you can book out each quarter ahead of time.   This also works for roofers, porches, additions, and inside work, tiling, windows, hardwood floors, the possibilities continue and also work well for landscapers and interior designers.Speaking of landscapers, a new trend will be a “make over my yard on a budget”, where you offer one stop shopping and pricing to make over a yard. Also make over my house for a party will be popular, where a crew arrives to decorate the front yard for Halloween parties, with bales of hay, scarecrow, pumpkins, mums, characters and decorations.

This also works for Christmas with lighting and décor. Homeowners like the “no mess, no muss, no storage option”, as your service includes removing all the décor after the holiday.
Busy homeowners no longer have to be on ladders stringing lights or determining where to store giant Santa’s, reindeer and other décor.  Offering these services to an entire subdivision again, where they book out in advance, maximizes profits and time.

Awakening to Your Divine Potential

Recently. I wrote a article on John Edward’s Infinite Quest where I wanted to share the divine potential which resides in each person. The energy which emits from each of us in our auric field shows our talents, our abilities and our destiny and where we are heading for the future.  What I most wanted to describe was how this potential is so power-filled for each of us and how we often forget what gifts are there for each person.

When we activate this potential, we awaken and become conscious creators. From this vantage point, anything is possible.

Here are her predictions:
Kala’s Predictions on:
The future of Business and Restoring the Economy

The answer is three-fold; Adaptability, Collaboration and Appreciation of Employees and the Ever-Shifting Markets. As I predicted last year, employees are quitting their jobs in record numbers, despite the tough economy and outlook on the job front.  Driven to a point of exasperation and extreme job dis-satisfaction, workers are leaving to start their own businesses or work for less money in a career where they feel appreciated. Corporations will continue to see the brain and talent drain from their offices until they realize that the age of demoralizing and taking talented employees for granted is over. Those who attract the best and brightest will need to offer strong incentives and benefits like a retirement package along with rewards for long term service and company loyalty.

Future trends in business include an expansion of the customization of products to personalize them for the individual tastes of the consumer. Being an expert is in and random sales clerks are who are not experts in the products they sell are out. It’s not time to train more factory workers, it’s time to innovate to new technology in order to grow business and train people to become experts in the fields they enjoy and are passionate about.

More companies will allow for more telecommuting on at least a part time basis. Cubicles and in some cases, entire offices will go away as companies look for more efficient ways to work using less commercial office space.

As we continue the global expansion of being available 24-7, working flex time hours and shifts will become a popular option. This also creates new jobs, as companies need staff available around the clock, so second shift hiring brings in new jobs.
Flex hours are not only about shifts, but the number of days working as well. The employers who are most popular will offer shifts including working four day work weeks with ten to eleven hour shifts, giving employees three day weekends, while opening up jobs for part time workers to work three day work weeks on a Fri/Sat/Sun schedule. This allows younger generations four days a week to attend college or pursue other interests and also allows baby boomers who wish to work part time the ability to do so while having other days available to them to travel and enjoy their lives.To be competitive, American companies will need to honor their employees and understand that work is supposed to be part of their lives, not all of it. Smart companies will offer flex time and more vacation time like their European counterparts. They will recognize that work will also need to have meaning and depth to their employees and drone working is no longer viable. People must feel connected to the products they build and the services they provide. They want to take pride in their work and what they have made.  Creative input is also important to recognize and reward with compensation. When employees have creative outlets and the ability to daydream and think about ideas, companies will benefit from these concepts as well as retain workers.  When employees are again viewed as the most important assets in the company, business will soar.

As Henry Ford said, “Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.”
Kala’s Predictions on:
The Future of Online Business and Shopping versus Big Box Retail Stores
People are looking for experiences. When you can have everything almost instantly at a discounted price, the value comes in the experience and the credibility.Many of those old establishment department/anchor stores in the malls that your parents and in some cases grandparents shopped at, are on their way out.  A few are trying some last ditch efforts to attract the younger crowds with celebrity endorsements, but it’s too little too late. Many of these stores will soon go the way of other old timers like Montgomery Ward, who remembers them now? Niche stores are the wave of the future, as well as expert stores like the Apple Genius brand, rather than vague random stores full of too many counter-intuitive products.

Apps continue to explode in growth including retail. One that I expect to see soon, is where I can walk down the street and snap a photo of someone’s shoes as they walk by and the app will search this photo, tell me who designed these shoes and then locate the ten closest retailers who sell the shoes and give me a price comparison. The app would list the bricks and mortar retail stores, in case I want the shoes on my feet in an impulse buy in the next ten minutes, and it would also offer online shopping store versions in case I am willing to wait and order online for a better price.

Another app will be the Yard Sale app, where you can find local yard sales using GPS directions to get there and even see photos of some items ahead of time that you are interested in. You can rank the yard sales by importance and plan your trip out according to the most efficient drive time and by selecting the priority of items you are looking for.

The best option for bookstores to continue in business is to adapt, collaborate and appreciate.  Collaboration must come quickly by realizing that the age of the bookstore as a single source has passed. To be interesting in their local area, they must become a hub of activity with a plethora of local events to attract people into the store. The print books themselves become a secondary marketing item (think going to a musical event and then buying the CD or tee shirt to take home from the event).  Adaption comes into play as stores move in the future to offering a print-on-demand service in the store where books can be ordered and printed out instantly.    Appreciation extends to authors and readers, offering special services to frequent customers and inviting more authors to participate in the stores events, as they bring their fan base to grow with them.
Some events may include large screens in the stores where authors Skype in regardless of where they are, to speak and interact with fans in the store.
Online shopping is only going to get bigger. One of the biggest fan markets for New Orleans Jazz is in Japan. Imagine as these fans, who are half a world away, are able to watch videos and chat online in real time with jazz artists, sales of online products will soar. Savvy musicians and other artists will learn to offer live webinars and other live offerings via the net, including private concerts to people who pay and register in advance.  Just like in concert halls, they will perform to fans around the world via this online presence, to those who aren’t in the local area or live in one of the cities designated for a concert. This new experience is unique and personalized.Live chats and “ask the author/musician/artist a question” will become the new trend as well. Book signings won’t go away, in the future, you can order a custom ordered book by your favorite author, where you pick from a choice of your favorite cover and the author customizes a personalized dedication to you, along with their signature, which is all printed digitally and watermarked to ensure the value of the book.  Books also expand with digital downloads that come with each book purchase, sometimes with tickets to private online events with the author and digital downloads to private concerts and giveaways, only to those who purchase the book, which each one is printed with a custom id to enter to win. Think of those random generated numbers when you are signing up for an email list, the computer will randomly generate a code on each book printed, so there’s no chance of guessing it without purchasing the item first.

Online shopping will more than double in the next decade.  To keep up with supply and demand, UPS stores will create local stores with delivery boxes assigned to customers, similar to how people use P.O. Boxes, except these will be larger to accommodate packages. This will fill a big need for as online shopping and shipping increases, crime will quickly follow this trend and home delivery thefts will be on the rise.  Due to people’s work schedules, they are often not home when packages are delivered and this need will rise.
Enterprising companies will soon see that while shipping/pick up centers may work in the cities, they will not work for suburban families and their needs.
We’ll soon see the prototypes for a new style of mailbox in neighborhoods, where mail is dropped in a slot in the box outside the home when delivered and a digital pass code can be entered by UPS and other delivery companies to place box deliveries inside this large mail/shipment box. Consumers give their password when ordering a package online and this password is included when processing shipping orders to UPS and other companies.
Kala’s Predictions on:
The Secret to a Successful Bricks and Mortar Retail Store
The successful stores will stop complaining about the online stores taking business away from them and instead become innovative and competitive again by offering to consumers what online stores can not, which are – Retail Therapy through Impulse Buying and Expert One-Stop Shopping Experiences.  Here are some examples.You’ve heard of Man Caves, now be on the look out for the “Man Store”.  Like Abercrombie’s “models” in their stores, the next evolution will be a man store, where men are outfitted with everything they need in one stop shopping. This will be offered in a variety of ways. Think of a sports store, where the man walks in and says… I want to go fly-fishing. An expert fly fisher guide is assigned as the person to help this man and he takes him through the store, equipping him with the rod and reel he needs, along with the appropriate vest, wading boots, hat, net and other equipment.  He recommends a guide book to be purchased, and can also interact with travel services with approved and selected fly fishing locations which can include hotel and air travel if needed.   This continues on and on, with “I want to go to Pro Sports Game”, and the guide arranges tickets, sports memorabilia clothing and other gear, along with any type of sports or outdoor activities. The man is loaded up with the gear, equipment, clothing, reservations and other items needed.

Similar stores follow suit, with Man Stores or specialized Man Departments within the store with experts Concierge’s assigned to help them, including: I just got a corporate job and need appropriate clothing, or I need to wow a girl on a date and need the right outfit, a gift, and reservations to a restaurant or theater.

In smaller cities and towns where guides are not available in the store, an online app version is offered where you interact with the guide online through live video.

This trend continues with men, who want choices and personalization as much as women.  Expect to see more personalized stores, including specialized party foods, snacks and beers.

As this takes off, women follow suit, bringing back old department store techniques that used to bond women to a certain store and keep them there all day. These stores will offer services that once existed in upscale department stores including a place to dine inside the store along with spa services, including makeovers with assigned expert concierges.  The woman comes in and says “I have a date and need to get ready” and spends the day at the store, having her hair done, nails done, skin care and makeup applied, and then the expert concierge finds her the perfect outfit and accessories including shoes, jewelry and purse.  This concept extends to bridal parties and corporate job makeovers.

Each purchase at the store is logged into a program customized for the store, listing what the customer had done with her hair, including what products were selected, who the stylist was, and what nail polish, clothing, and makeup was used.

This is emailed to the customer so that she can continue to purchase the shade of lipstick that she loves or return to a favorite stylist at the store and of course, book the expert concierge for a return visit.Girlfriend parties and mother and daughter outings are also scheduled for women to shop together each with their expert concierge shopping with them in the store.  Themes include: I just got invited to a wedding; I’m going on a cruise or vacation, and similar types of events.
Technology is used further in these events. Computers scan the face of the woman and integrate what hairstyles would be the most complimentary along with selecting the best shades of hair color and cosmetics.  Formulas via the computer are mixed like paint is mixed in home renovations stores, to create the perfect formula of hair color for the person. This is also used in the makeup counters, to create the perfect blend of foundation for the person. These custom blends are recorded so that the person can retrieve this code and reorder this perfect blend over and over.
Stores that offer these services will begin to leave the malls, choosing instead to be a destination onto their own, holding shoppers captivated as they receive makeovers from head to toe along with dining with friends and family all in house.  The retail costs for the stores is lower than in the malls and revenues go up as shoppers remain in their store and don’t drift out to other markets.Other stores catch on to this idea and offer experts in their stores, one can walk into a craft store for example and say, I want to build model airplanes or I want to learn to quilt and experts are assigned to them who guide them on what they need to purchase and information they need to accomplish this task.

Expert status also leads into other ventures. Restaurants innovate to allow nutritionists and chefs the ability to work together to create new menus, which explain in greater detail why foods are healthy choices and what nutrition they are providing. This creates a new food guide, where you are able to choose wisely and be better informed on your choices. A guide is created with colors and symbols showing which food groups are involved in each meal and at what level.

Blended bartering comes back into vogue in local restaurants. Local grown products by farmers are offered to restaurants in return for farmers and their families eating the finished products at the restaurant. Blended advertising is also shared, with the restaurant promoting the local farms and their products available for sale at the farmer’s market and the farmers at the farmers market advertise to their customers that they can eat their products in complete meals at the restaurants they partner with. The customer appreciates the “from the farm to the table” collaboration experience and gains trust for both parties.

Many restaurant franchises fold in this coming decade. They were too cookie-cutter and ran their employees like cattle. Their desire to streamline took all the quality out of the experience and the employees are not connected to the company due to low wages and mistreatment.

Local businesses and restaurants will be on the rise along with larger companies that allow employees to work their way up the chain and see a long-term career with a company offering the ability to grow.
Kala’s Predictions on:
The Future of Furniture and Design
North Carolina has been one of the nation’s leading furniture makers and has the ability to evolve again and design the future.  Engineers and designers will work together in teams, leading the way will be the interaction with technology in furniture. Furniture will expand again in its multi-functional capacities and most tables and chairs will be on wheels that pop out and tuck inside table legs when desired.  Tables will fold in and expand out on themselves, going from coffee table size to dining room table expansion, along with desks, which take on double duty from side tables to full size working desks to fit in guest room and offices.Lighting will also become more versatile, using remotes for color choices and dimming and will include cables that allow consumers to raise and lower lights from the ceiling, helping with those chandeliers that are impossible to clean up high in an entry area.  Mood lighting with LED colors will soon be the hot trend, similar to how neon was in the 1980s.


Kala’s Predictions on:
Television and Media
Television is next to make a change. Reality TV as we know it, is soon over and people are tired of overpaying for high priced cable to have nothing but more of the same on hundreds of channels.  More and more people will migrate to the web to watch shows and Internet based TV shows will become the new trend, made just for the net, not seen on TV.  Advertising is also completely shifting, rather than blatant commercials that can be fast forwarded through on TIVO and DVR’s, product placement will become king adopted first on Internet TV, which then pushes broadcast TV to follow suit.   We’ll see product placement in the sets with furniture and decor, along with the clothing worn by the stars on the programs, the stores they shop at, the places they eat, the cars they drive and the entertainment venues they visit.Speaking of TV’s, the next trend will be to make the TV screen operate like an iPad with a touch screen. Like the app that I want to photograph shoes and find where to buy them, consumers will be able to watch a TV show and see a product that interests them and touch the object which gives the name of the product.  This will appear first on Internet TV, where we’ll see advertisers jump on this product placement market. When you touch the product on the screen, it will open onto a new browser window where you can purchase the product.  Talk about instant ratings and results for advertising!

Kala’s Predictions on:
High Tech Fashion Meets Health Care
Remember mood rings in the 1970’s and those shirts that changed colors with body heat in the 1980s? New technology will bring clothing that will not only change colors like this before, but this with more helpful statistics and information.  Clothing will change colors for athletes to warn them and their coaches that they are overheating and need to cool down.  Technology will be able to read other medical problems as well and help alert the person to this situation before it occurs and hopefully can be stopped.Another area where we’ll see this occur is in children’s wear, with diapers that change color to alert the parent to wetness and small chips in clothing that alert parents to babies running a temperature, some through color and others with a chip inside the clothing that shows the body temperature on the pajama top that the baby is wearing.  Technology will also increase in removing body odors from clothing.

New breakthroughs in autism will be found by researchers by using music to communicate with autistic children. Apps with music reward children by playing their favorite songs when they successfully accomplish a task. Tonal sounds also guide them when they are closer to their goals or moving further away.  This spins off another technological innovation, in which blind people are helped with an app that reads distance to buildings, curbs and other locations and alerts the blind person through tonal sounds warning them when they are too close to something. This is then a feature added into GPS services as GPS technology advances so that when blind people wish to go walking, they can follow verbal GPS instructions, while also be alerted to hazards like buildings, water, trees, streets and oncoming cars and joggers.

A product that has needed renovating for a while is the toilet. In the future, we will see them become more high tech. They will be able to analyze the urine to detect pregnancy and other medical conditions, which can be detected through urine. Bidets will also be built into toilets, returning back to this sanitary practice, rather than the current overuse of bleached toilet paper.

Part Two of Kala’s Predictions for 2012 and the Decade Beyond
coming tomorrow


Kala Ambrose – Your Travel Guide to the Other Side

2011 has been such an amazing year! This Summer I met many of you on my Gypsy Wagon Road Trip as I taught at the Omega Institute, LilyDale Assembly, Learning Annex and in cities along the way like Pittsburgh and Charleston, SC.
I also expanded my courses into online versions so that anyone who wanted to study with me could do so online from the comfort of their home and in their pajamas if they wanted, which sounds like a great idea to me! :-)   These courses are now offered on The Daily Om and through my work on John Edward’s Infinite Quest.
This Fall, it was a privilege and a pleasure to see two of my books come out this year, which are Ghosthunting North Carolina and  The Awakened Aura: Experiencing the Evolution of Your Energy Body.
In September, Ghosthunting North Carolina hit the stores and I hit the road traveling and sharing the haunted history of North Carolina beginning at the SIBA Conference in Charleston, SC and then traveling to book stores, museums, private events and Costco’s across the state of North Carolina.
Things wrapped up on Halloween weekend as I appeared on NBC 17 to discuss the haunted history of North Carolina.
Then in November, The Awakened Aura book hit stores and again I’ve been reaching out to speak about this book and share what I have been seeing in the auric fields for the past decade.
Our auras are actually evolving and creating new patterns and structures in order to assist with our conscious evolution.  I’ll be speaking and teaching more about this aura awakening in the new year and I hope that you’ll join me as I travel and teach.
I love how it worked out that both books came out in the same year, because they are so incredibly different, one focusing on the paranormal and the other on the metaphysical, which some see as different ends of the spectrum.
The reason I write about both topics is that they are both dealing with energy. We are energy beings, as has been described as spiritual beings having a temporary human experience in the physical body.  Our aura showcases what our true light being reflects and hints at the spectacular nature of our spiritual existence. We are energy and light.
Along the same lines, we are primarily a spiritual being and when the time comes to release our soul from the physical body, our energy gathers and we become far more than we may have imagined. Some who choose to stay behind for one reason or another, dwell between planes which are closer to the earth plane and interact on the earth plane in what we describe as a ghostly form.
Both topics require a tremendous amount of study and research as we explore and delve into the mysteries of the universe and the human condition. It is for this reason, that I choose to study both the metaphysical and the paranormal, in order to share this information with all who are interested. The evolutionary process of life, death and rebirth and what occurs at each level continues to develop and new insights are being discovered each day.
This is why I created the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, with the vision of “Many Paths, One Destination.”  We are looking to understand ourselves on a deeper level as well as understand and experience a deeper connection with the Divine.  For some this path is the paranormal, looking at what occurs once the soul has moved on from the physical body and for others, the path is the metaphysical, studying what we are able to become as we connect with our Higher Consciousness.  This is why I work to share information on both the metaphysical and paranormal worlds in the shows and when I write and why I teach the ancient wisdom teachings from Egypt and Greece and share them in my book, 9 Life Altering Lessons: Secrets of the Mystery Schools Unveiled.
The path continues to unfold before us and I thank you for allowing me to be “Your Travel Guide to the Other Side” as we pull back the veil from the other planes and journey inside. I hope you’ll consider giving 9 Life Altering Lessons, Ghosthunting North Carolina or The Awakened Aura to the Metaphysical Practicioners, Paranormal Enthusiasts and Spiritual Seekers on your list.
Wishing you all a magical 2012, full of wisdom, delight and wonder-filled surprises!
All the best,
*~Kala~*




The Astral City and Healing Temples

Movie: The Astral City

A movie has recently caught my attention that I’d like to share with you. It’s titled The Astral City and was filmed in Brazil. The movie is in Portuguese and has English subtitles.

This film was recently brought to my attention and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the film! It describes what I have seen when I have visited the other spiritual planes and what life is like on the other side, in the astral realms and the other spiritual realms.
Even more astounding, during the healing segments shown on film, what they depict is very similar to what I describe in my new book, The Awakened Aura of how healing temples were once built here on the earth plane to heal at the body mind spirit level and how healing is experienced on the other side.
I highly recommend this film and if you’ve read my book, The Awakened Aura you’ll enjoy seeing the depictions of what I describe in the book.  It also shares the effect of karma in our lives and describes some but not all of the spiritual planes that exist on the other side.
It is my dream to build a healing center of this kind once again here on the earth plane in service to humanity. The seven healing techniques described in The Awakened Aura are being touted as the future of energy medicine and what would be incorporated in the healing centers.


The Bohemian Beauty of New Orleans

Kala filming in New Orleans

There’s so much to chat about these days, where to begin….

I’m back home after spending most of this year traveling and teaching. Most recently, I was in New Orleans filming a documentary about the city along with conducting research for my new book about New Orleans. Both the documentary and the book will be released in Fall 2012.
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. :-)
The research I conduct for my new book explores the haunted history of the city along with magical practices of voodoo and many others. Both projects are full of so much juicy information that I’m so excited to share with you. 2012 promises
to be a magical year and for me it begins with New Orleans.
