In this column ‘Ask Kala’, intuitive and ancient wisdom teacher Kala Ambrose, invites you to email your probing metaphysical, spiritual, holistic, 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 P.J. in Manchester by the Sea, MA.

Hi Kala,
What do you think about earth changes? It seems like a lot of weird things are happening right now around the world, any thoughts? Thanks, PS; Enjoyed your article on mardi gras, hope to visit there sometime!

Hi P.J.

Recently, in my column on the Examiner, I wrote about the evolution of our aura body and the changes occurring in this energy field as well as in the chakras. In my work as an intuitive, I can see and work with the auric field around the body and in the same sense, I also connect with the Earth and experience when her field is at peace and in balance and when the elements become out of balance and disruptions in the earth occur. The greater the imbalance of the elements, the higher the likelihood of explosive weather patterns and earth changes grow.

Over the past several weeks, I’ve felt an uneasiness from the Mother, Earth that is, and have been observing the weather patterns and extreme variable changes, such as the bizarre whirling wind gust patterns, reaching up to 50 mph which dumped over 30 inches of snow in the NorthEast area of the US., which some meteorologists dubbed a ‘snowcane’.

Intuitively, my senses have been on overdrive recently and my dreams are focused on the ocean, the fish and other creatures living in these waters. In my dreams, they were communicating to me about the changes they are aware of from deep within the ocean’s crust, reporting that there were many fractured and open areas in the sea floor where the Earth was creating pressure and hot streams of water and gas were being released. This may indicate increased volcanic activity.

During my waking hours, I’ve noticed my dog being very agitated over the past couple of months and it’s increased significantly in the last two weeks. I’ve had friend after friend share stories with me about their animals who are on edge and have turned on each other and acted out aggressively in ways that have not been experienced before in their behavior.

In the news, reports of earth changes continue to occur, earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, and a giant iceberg breaking off in the Antarctic, to the surprise of many. Stories abound on aggressive animal behaviors as well, including the recent incident with the whale at Seaworld, the coyote attack at a park in Canada, enormous jellyfish attacks on boats off the coast of Japan, and too many other attacks from tigers, dogs and many other animals to mention.

Mother Earth is communicating through them. She is slowly awakening from a long slumber and is not pleased to see what her children have been doing to their home. As a teacher of the ancient wisdom teachings from the mystery schools, I’ve long described Mother Earth as a mother dog, who is supportive and loving to her puppies. I ask students to visualize a mother dog nursing her puppies with the milk from her body. The puppies push their way greedily in close to the mother, wanting their share of her milk and as they claw, fight and tumble amongst each other, she patiently lies on her side and generously feeds them all. This continues until she has had enough and with no warning, she rolls over and sends the puppies flying in all directions. This is similar to Mother Earth and when she has had enough, she stirs and rolls over, as seen in previous earth changes and movements in history.

Mother Nature has her moods, like we do and weather changes and climate can often indicate and reflect this mood. She is an energy body, and we are all connected to her. Perhaps the greatest travesty portrayed in the history of humanity, is the philosophy that we are somehow separate from nature and from each other. This is counter-intuitive to the philosophy of the ancient wisdom teachings, which I explain as, ‘We Are All One, One Energy, from One Light’. What we do to another is done unto us.

Gaia, Mother Earth, the planet, our home, has her own energy centers, ley lines, vortexes and chakra centers, many of which we refer to as sacred sites around the world. These sacred sites contain and at times, release tremendous energy. This is similar to what our chakras do within our body and throughout our energy fields.

We have experienced what havoc El Nino, the child, can cause with weather, imagine what happens when Mother Nature takes a stand. The earth is out of balance, pushed to the brink of tolerance with the mistreatment of animals and farming and dumping toxins in the ground and oceans. Most of humanity has long forgotten how to connect with the elements and the Mother. - the Divine Feminine. There is a tipping point, that we are nearing, and if that point is reached, it is very difficult to turn back.

In the ancient wisdom teachings, there is a hermetic axiom taught of ‘As Above, So Below’. In the briefest explanation possible, it means that what is done on the earth plane, is received in the other planes of existence and reflected back down. Our thoughts, words, actions and deeds on the earth plane are reflected outward. As author James Allen wrote… ‘He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass, environment is but his looking glass’. Our daily actions cause a direct reaction, the results of which can be seen all around us.

Take a look around at what’s occurring on the planet, the wars, the greed, the children suffering, the mistreatment of land and animals. A critical mass is being reached. As the children of the earth, we can make the changes needed to restore the balance to the elements of earth, air, fire, water and spirit, which bring balance to Mother Earth. The greatest danger lies within each person not realizing how important they are and how much of an effect their actions create on a daily basis.

As I write this article today, I am reminded of a typing class that I took in the ‘80s, back in the day of typewriters, before personal computers were invented. Look at all we have been able to achieve in such a short period of time and how we are now able to connect and communicate through the internet. We were given the ability to create and manifest and we can make a difference.

In that typing class back in the 80’s, we were taught to type one sentence over and over, for the range of motion that it gives one on the keyboard. That sentence is:

Now is the time, for all great men to come to the aid of their country.

Now, more than ever before, this statement is more prophetic than ever. Take action, help to create positive changes within you and where you live and it will spread around the world.

We used to go on vacations in order to ‘vacate’, to empty out our built up stress, our ‘backed up’ clogged up energies. We’d plop ourselves on the beach just ‘vegging’ and often using alcohol to force our bodies to relax. This is the old model that we are shifting out of. And then there came an ‘Eco Travel’ trend, or ‘Adventure Travel’ with mountain biking and ‘ziplining’ or white water rafting.  All fun and energizing. But we still weren’t able to ‘Be still and know That I Am God’ – we still weren’t able to truly relax and receive. So the pendulum swung from total ‘vacating, vegging out vacations’ to ‘Adventure Activity Vacations’- strenuous physical activity Adventures. As with all polarity paradigms the pendulum swings between the oppo-sites and eventually finds center balance.

Now there is a new balance emerging – the best of all worlds’ type of travel coming forth- Eco Spiritual Travel – where enjoying, caring, appreciating the Natural World – being in touch with Mother Nature combines with personal Spiritual growth & a rejuvenating, relaxing vacation. Is it ‘Work’ or ‘Play’? We also used to have very distinct boundaries between ‘work’ & ‘play’. We had to ‘work’ in order to save up enough $ and time to ‘play’ or ‘take time off’. This model is also starting to melt, blur and merge into something new where work & play are joining into something new. The new model is becoming more of – just Being. We are working-playing-being-doing all together at once. Perhaps we will outgrow the word ‘work’ and we will come up with a new word – or perhaps no word. ‘No Pain, No Gain’ is the old Model.

When we started doing ‘workshops’, retreats, awakening seminars – we were still under the old model of ‘no pain, no gain’. We felt in order to get something out of our ‘workshop’ there had to be some ‘pain’ involved. We had to get up early, spend most of the day in our ‘work’ shop with short breaks for food – and with very little time left over for just fun. These models were the right stepping stones at the time – at least we were ‘working’ on our Selves and not for someone else. But now things are moving towards more merging- unifying ways of being & doing in our lives. What if we can combine Fun, Relaxing & Play with personal Awakening &  Spiritual Growth? And how about we add contributing to the health of the Planet and the Ecosphere to that? This is a ‘light bulb moment’ when we see it –a win-win-win for everyone and everything involved. The old model of ‘if it’s good for me it tastes bad or is hard and no fun’ or ‘if it’s fun it has to be either illegal, immoral or fattening’ – those days are leaving.

Eco Spiritual Travel – is travel where you go somewhere you really enjoy, can really feel good in body, mind & spirit and enjoying Nature-Mother Earth- the Eco Sphere. Part of your ‘vacation’ may be to lie on the beach in Kona, Hawaii but not for all day for days on end. That’s like eating too much cheesecake! Instead your day might look like this – you may get up leisurely around 8-9am, enjoy the open air restaurant breakfast – an hour after breakfast you join your Spiritual Retreat Seminar being conducted under the palm trees . You do some breathing meditation and learn to feel your Inner Body more fully. After these simple timeless spiritual exercises & some social interaction time with likeminded new friends you have free time to swim with turtles, go into town to shop, or read a book in the hammock, go visit a Kona coffee farm or snorkel on the reef. Then in the late afternoon you meet back up with your retreat group and you go for short drive to a protected bay and swim with wild dolphins carefully respecting the dolphins’ natural boundaries. Then a Sunset meditation at an ancient Heiau – temple area where you can feel the ancient rhythms of true old Hawaii. And back to the resort for evening dinner overlooking the protected lagoons, watching the turtles swim below you. Private time, beach time, group spiritual time, dolphin time, sunset time, food time, hammock time… true en-join-ment.

En-join-ment = the new model is that when we truly en-joy we are ‘In Joy’ – en‘join’ing back up with God, reconnecting with our own Spirit. The old model is that we can only reach ‘God’, ‘Salvation’, ‘Nirvana’, ‘Enlightenment’ through pain, struggle, sore backs from meditation postures, having to ‘sacrifice’, fighting our minds to be ‘quiet’, “It’s in our Pleasure we find our Treasure.” Do flowers not en-joy opening into blooming? Do trees struggle? Does the Ocean have to ‘work’ when its waves move? Do Birds effort and huff and puff when flying? Isn’t this effortless flow perhaps what St. Francis was pointing to when he quotes – “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow – they neither toil nor spin – and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”  What is a flow-er? Maybe the Angels of Language left clues for us – a flower is a Flow-er, a flow of God-Spirit Energy erupting into our world to remind us to also surrender to this Flow of God-Source.

Sound too good to be true? To be able to relax, have fun, have pleasure all while Spiritually Awakening, respecting Mother Nature, and contributing financially to a group providing sanctuaries for animals? It’s happening now. These Eco Spiritual Vacations are a growth segment of travel for the future. They are here and available now. Small, boutique operators are creating truly connecting, spiritual experiences for small groups of travelers all over the world – that feed the travelers and the whole Eco Sphere – Mother Earth at the same time. “It’s not either/or — it’s both and more!” OSHO.

So why not make your next Vacation an ‘Eco Spiritual Travel’ Vacation – and feed your Self, re-connect with your Spirit while en-Joy-ing Nature-Mother Earth-the Eco Sphere.

More About Tobias Lars:
While attending undergraduate school Tobias Lars had an awakening experience where the energy centers of the body opened up and spontaneously reactivated ancient yogic energy practices. This happened without any work. The Yogic ‘Asanas’ – the postures came back to the conscious awareness and he felt other lifetimes of practicing yoga. As he did each posture they felt like a key unlocking energy grids in the body that had been previously locked and these energies were then released and flooded through the body. These powerful effects were undeniable to his young western scientific mind. That started a 25 year journey of spiritual study. Tobias spent time in India with a master teacher, studied shamanic practices with Native American free beings, heart centered Tantra, ego confrontation, the path of divine romantic love and with the help of a mentor opened back up to the energies of the nature kingdom of Pan and the Devic Kingdom. During this time Tobias Lars also received a Masters Degree in International Business and founded ventures in international business. A few years later another series of ‘wake up calls’ came through business ‘failure’, divorce and bankruptcy. He next spent a period of 5 years away from the day to day world going through another level of awakening of the soul.  Much of what he believed and thought he ‘knew’ – especially ideas of what spirituality really was – and what was previously held as reality, was transformed-exploded-shifted.  More info at: www.spiritravel.com
