Ghosthunting North Carolina, my new book is now available in store and online at Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com 

Here’s some info about the book: Explore haunted lighthouses, forts, and shipwrecked areas of East Carolina where Blackbeard and his pirates still roam as you join author and paranormal researcher Kala Ambrose in Ghost Hunting North Carolina. Journey across the state and visit the most actively haunted capitol in the US, and continue west into the Blue Ridge Mountains where the pink lady and her friends await your presence. Maps and travel information are provided to every haunted location for those brave enough to make the journey in person and for paranormal researchers who are interested in exploring haunted North Carolina.

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

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

Advanced Praise for the book has been great including:

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

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

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

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

Joie De Vivre! My cup runneth over!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Much love,

*~Kala~*

Your Aura Energy is Unique and Powerful

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The first step is understanding that:

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

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

2. “Spirit does not exist in just one location; rather it is all encompassing, living within and amongst us in each moment, thought and action. I believe that Spirit is raised to it’s highest level, when individuals gather with wisdom, compassion and a discerning desire to provide service to humanity”. – Kala Ambrose

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

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

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

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

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

Treme soundtrack

Season Two of the HBO series Treme premieres tonight, Sunday April 24th at 10pm.  I’ve eagerly awaited the return of the series, longing to be virtually as close as I can to the city of New Orleans.  The series has received Emmy and Grammy nominations as it portrays the rebuilding and restructuring of New Orleans after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Season One was set in Fall 2005, three months after the storm and the breaking of the levees in the Ninth Ward unleashed the flood waters into the city.

Treme expresses the vibe and soul of the city while addressing the depth of loss felt by the residents both emotionally and physically. As the city struggles to rebuild, it’s left to the people to carry on, generate sparks of hope, and become the voice of the city as they endure hardships and struggle to rebuild. John Goodman spoke eloquently in Season One about the state of the city and the nation and if truly his character is gone from the show, he will be missed.  The writing and acting on the show is superb and the music is the virtual icing on the cake. To know New Orleans is to understand the music and Treme pulls it all together, stirring it up in a delicious gumbo served hot and spicy.  Seeing Kermit Ruffins on the show each week is pure eye and music candy and the cameo appearance of the delightful John Boutte’ invites us all into the Treme. It’s always a treat to hear them both while in New Orleans and an incredible pleasure to have their music on the show and available as a soundtrack.

Show creator David Simon is quoted as saying… “We are following the actual timeline of post-Katrina New Orleans as a means of understanding what happened – and what didn’t happen – when an American city suffered a near-death experience. In doing so, we’re trying to address ourselves to what the American experiment has become and what possibilities remain for us. We are an urban people now. How we live together – and of what we are capable or incapable of achieving as an urban people is going to define our future. New Orleans and its recent history speaks to that.”

Treme is accomplishing what others have tried to do and failed, which is to portray Louisiana and New Orleans with an authentic flair, in a veritable soul concoction of people, music, big hearts, art, and passion.  From the touching portrayal of Big Chief Lambreaux ‘s resurrection of the Big Chief’s parade (played by Clarke Peters) to the talented musicians and chefs struggling to keep the music and artistry alive, the show continues to inspire, educate and entertain.  Viva La Treme!

Rhinebeck, New York is one of those natural treasures in the world, that when you’re lucky enough to find your way there for a few days, it becomes a memory of a lifetime.

As I made plans to travel and teach a weekend workshop on – Energy Anatomy: Exploring and Healing Your Aura and Chakras with Elizabeth Harper at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck in July, I toyed with the idea of flying or driving. I decided to drive, so that I could take in the sights and perhaps the road less traveled, slowing down to see this part of the country, rather than flying over it all in an hour, and potentially missing what nature had to offer me.

The result? Delight, surprise and splendor! The road to Rhinebeck greets you with the soft, gentle Catskill Mountains, in various shades and textures of green, welcoming you in for the day. Alongside the mountains, the Hudson River rambles along in soothing tones, relaxing my body, mind and spirit further. I drove oohing, aaahhing and gasping at some turns on the road, marveling at the sheer beauty. As someone who has lived in Alaska, Hawaii, California, Washington and Florida, I’ve seen my share of natural beauty and I’m going to rank the Rhinebeck area up there with all of these spots. Truly inspiring, as a writer, I was ready to check into my hotel room and pull out my trusty Mac and write through the night.

Speaking of the hotel, my first stop was The Rhinecliff, a country hotel just outside on Rhinebeck, located right on the Hudson River. Every room has a view of the river. I stayed on the third story with a balcony that looked out at the Hudson. The room was spacious, with wide plank wood floors, a cathedral ceiling with beams, room for a sofa and a bathroom to rival a spa experience. Early the next morning, I entered the bathroom, which came with battery operated candles to light for ambience, which I promptly lit and used them as my only light in the bathroom. I settled into the two person whirlpool bathtub, filled it and set the jets to bubbling. Relaxing back in the tub, I noticed a rectangular window, even with my head now that I was sitting in the tub. I cranked open the window and to my delight, it opened up to a spectacular view of the Catskill Mountains with the Hudson River in front. I may have taken the longest bath of my life, the jets of the whirlpool massaging and restoring my body after a long drive to New York and my mind and spirit being lifted and rejuvenated breathing in the fresh air while watching the sun rise over the mountains and spill into the river before me.

Every few moments I would sigh and think, it just doesn’t get much better than this, no wonder Chelsea Clinton selected Rhinebeck as the location for her wedding. As I settled back in the tub and continued to watch nature’s show du jour, a small bird, perhaps a finch, alighted on to my window and kept me company for a while. He would look out at the sunrise over the river and take it in and then turn his head to look back at me, as if to say, can you believe this, this is beautiful, are you getting this? Birds have always been one of my totem animals and his company was appreciated this morning.

Later that day, I checked out from the hotel and ventured into the village of Rhinebeck. Villages like Rhinebeck must be the reason that the words charm and quaint were invented by writers. I’m surprised that more filmmakers haven’t made movies here, as it has held on to its history, preserving it so well, and the love and pride that the residents have for their community is apparent on every tree lined street, with houses well kept and honored. The village was bustling with activity with preparations for the upcoming nuptials of Chelsea Clinton.

As I approached the hotel that I would be staying in this evening, photographers were outside in the garden, setting up their shots and were discussing with each other, “let’s put Bill here and Hillary here and Chelsea can stand here…” Entering to check into the hotel, I had arrived at the Beekman Arms, the oldest operating Inn in the country. The Beekman opened its doors to the public in 1766 and has been operating as an Inn ever since. Beautiful and historic, one can sleep in the same room as George Washington once did, as well as have a bite to eat and drink in the Tavern, where many presidents have dined, including Bill Clinton. I stayed in one of the Townsend rooms, which like the proceeding hotel, was spacious, warm and accommodating. My room had a fireplace, two wing back chairs, a writing desk, a comfy bed and a huge walk in closet with a mini fridge. I had the feeling of being in an old European Inn and there was even a decanter on the table filled with sherry to welcome me in from my journey.

Let me just say, I could live at the Beekman Arms for a couple of months to write my next book, it was that warm and welcoming and with its location being right in the center of the village of Rhinebeck, one simply steps out the door and is within walking distance of restaurants, shops and entertainment.

While walking around the area, a gentle rain began to fall and the stoic and well prepared residents, opened their umbrellas, continuing to run their errands in stride. Rhinebeck is only roughly 100 miles from New York City, but the pace is so opposite. People are relaxed here, enjoying their life and have a sense around them of knowing how life should be lived and how people should be treated. One of the memories I’ll remember most from this day, was when the rain began to fall, there were several ladies walking down the street. Each of them paused to open their umbrellas and their umbrellas were painted in brilliant colors and decorated like giant flowers. One was a pink daisy, another a red tulip and a third a yellow sunflower. As I watched these women continue down the street, it was like watching flowers wandering through a garden, simply poetic.

My journey in Rhinebeck was only beginning, I was here to teach a weekend workshop at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies beginning that Friday evening. Little did I know, I would be awakened early the next morning while sleeping in the Beekman Arms by an 18th century ghost still wandering in the hotel.

Visit here again tomorrow for part two of this adventure, as I continue my tale of Rhinebeck, Omega and the ghost of Beekman Arms…

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.

Listen to Kala’s interview with Tobias Lars on The Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show here: http://exploreyourspirit.com/Media/shows4.shtml#LARS

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
