The Reiki Guide to Self-Attunement with Brett Bevell

Kala speaks with Brett Bevell, a reiki master and author of The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-Attunement and Reiki for Spiritual Healing. Reiki tradition dictates that we first be initiated, or “attuned,” by a Reiki master in order to properly practice the healing art. With attunement fees as high as $10,000, this custom has barred many hopefuls from ascending through the degrees of Reiki mastery. In this revolutionary guide, Reiki master Brett Bevell breaks with convention and extends the transformative powers of Reiki to all by presenting at-home rituals for self-attunement. In the true healing spirit of Reiki, he also encourages creativity and experimentation with the practice, allowing readers to personalize Reiki for their everyday use.

Dear One Letters with Connie Numbers

The Dear One Letters by Dr. Connie NumbersOn this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with Dr. Connie Numbers. Can you imagine what it would feel like to be able to recognize the voice of your own unique soul, and experience the realization that you are a Divine Being, living in physical form, here for a Divine Reason, with a Divine Mind to help you through it all? Well, you can. That day at the beach was not a miracle that only happens to a few of us in life. The remembering I now experience has come about as a natural occurrence of taking the inward journey. Therefore, all of us have the ability and the potential of remembering who we really are.

Connie’s book, The Dear One Letters ,are like the breadcrumbs leading us on the path out of the forest to help us find our way Home. They remind us of how life really works and how to feel in control of it. They offer simple yet profound ways of diminishing the fears we have in life, including the fear that we have of being the powerful Light that we are. They lead us step by step, letter by letter, toward loving ourselves more fully. And they show us a myriad of ways to connect with the Magnificent Light that has been there since the day we were born. If we can get even a glimpse that we are a soul first and a human second, then we will know that we are powerful enough to create the happiness we are looking for. The Dear One Letters gives us more than a glimpse. They show us the way.

The Apollo 14 mission was NASA’s third manned lunar landing. This historic journey ended safely nine days later on February 9, 1971. It was an audacious time in the history of mankind. For Mitchell, however, the most extraordinary journey was yet to come. As he hurtled earthward through the abyss between the two worlds, Mitchell became engulfed by a profound sensation “a sense of universal connectedness.” He intuitively sensed that his presence, that of his fellow astronauts, and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process and that the glittering cosmos itself was in some way conscious. The experience was so overwhelming Mitchell knew his life would never be the same. Scientist, test pilot, naval officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Mitchell’s extraordinary career personifies humankind’s eternal thrust to widen its horizons as well as its inner soul. His academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Management from Carnegie Mellon University, a Bachelor of Science from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and a Doctor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT.

After retiring from the Navy in 1972, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences to sponsor research into the nature of consciousness as it relates to cosmology and causality. In 1984, he was a co-founder of the Association of Space Explorers, an international organization of those who have experienced space travel. He is the author of “Psychic Exploration,” 1974, “The Way of the Explorer,” 1996, (Third edition, 2006) as well as dozens of articles in both professional and popular periodicals.

The Soul of Autism with William Stillman

Every one of us is a spiritual being, and perhaps no one knows this better than parents of children with autism. So many individuals with autism seem to “vibrate” at a frequency different from others because they are inherently gentle and exquisitely sensitive. They may more readily perceive all things seen and unseen. This may come through in a divine manner that is natural not supernatural. Kala speaks with William Stillman about his work and his book, Autism and the God Connection. Stillman’s study of profound spiritual, mystical and metaphysical giftedness of some individuals with autism, has resonated with parents, professionals, and persons with autism internationally, and has received endorsements of praise from bestselling authors Gary Zukav, Carol Bowman, Dean Hamer, and Larry Dossey. As an adult with Asperger’s Syndrome, a mild “cousin” of autism, Stillman’s message of reverence and respect has touched thousands nationally through his acclaimed autism workshops and private consultations.

In his work to support those who love and care for individuals with autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, Stillman sets a tone for our collective understanding of the autistic experience in ways that are unprecedented. Autism should not be defined as an “affliction endured by sufferers,” but as a truly unique and individual experience to be respected and appreciated by all. In so doing, Stillman highlights the exquisite sensitivities of our most valuable, wise and loving “teachers.”

Matrix Energetics with Dr. Richard Bartlett

On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with Dr. Richard Bartlett about Matrix Energetics©. It has been Dr. Bartlett’s burning desire for many years to push the envelope until he came up with a teachable system that people from all walks of life could use for themselves, not just a few select or “gifted” people. Not just health practitioners but people with no previous experience as well. Dr. Bartlett worked to develop a system that produced observable and verifiable changes and which could be taught to others as easily as any other life skill. Matrix Energetics© encompasses a new state of mind, a new way of looking at the world we live and breathe in, and a new way of reaching out to new possibilities, a consciousness shift. According to modern physicists, all reality can be described as vibrations and waveforms where everything is light and information. We chose the “matrix” name because we enter into a unique morphic field when we do this work. One can imagine it much like a lattice of information, and one learns to reach into the lattice and change that information. Often in a seminar the unconscious mind is the student and the logical mind has to take a breather. Then the logical mind gets its time to be happy as we explore the science behind the “magic.” Matrix Energetics© is dedicated to bringing this new consciousness shift and personal power of transformation and healing to as many people as possible. When people can observe and see for themselves verifiable physical changes rapidly as happens when using Matrix Energetics, it helps them to accept these new possibilities and makes it real for them.

Difficult People with Lisette Larkins

On this episode of Explore Your Spirit with Kala, Kala speaks with Lisette Larkins about her book, Difficult People: A Gateway to Enlightenment. For most of us, difficult people are the bane of our existence. They annoy us, they throw us off balance, they test our patience, and—to one degree or another—they provoke reactions that are decidedly unhealthy. But it is also true that difficult people (DPs) mirror our own dysfunctional mental states and provide us with wonderful opportunities to understand ourselves, heal ourselves, and learn to live in the moment. Lisette Larkins realized the positive aspect of dealing with difficult people when she was providing care for a late-stage Alzheimer’s patient. Through daily interactions with a DP, Larkins began a personal journey of exploration that ultimately led to spiritual awakening. In Difficult People: A Gateway to Enlightenment, Larkins shares her journey and guides readers in reaching a “chronic state of well-being.”

The Art of Aging with Alice and Richard Matzkin

On this episode of Explore Your Spirit with Kala, Kala speaks with Alice and Richard Matzkin. Painter Alice Matzkin and her sculptor husband, Richard, contemplate growing older in their nearly 100 paintings and sculptures. In their award winning book, The Art of Aging, painter Alice Matzkin and sculptor Richard Matzkin share the wisdom of elder mentors to look for the positive side of growing older and to come to acceptance and appreciation of their aging.

In this beautiful and touching book, a couple – painter Alice Matzkin and sculptor Richard Matzkin – explore the experience of aging through their art. In a series of projects that confront their fear and curiosity about growing old, they examine physical changes, sensuality and relationships, aging parents, spirituality and death. Drawing on their personal experiences and the wisdom of older mentors, they conclude that the elder years can be a time of ripening and harvest rather than stagnation and despair. Their art features well-known people such as feminist Betty Friedan and potter Beatrice Wood, as well as friends, neighbors, relatives and themselves. Both artists find a source of creativity in the older nude body. This profusely illustrated book contains a wealth of inspiration, especially for those about to enter their later years.

Exploring Fate and Free Will with Marie Jones

On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with author Marie Jones about her book, Destiny vs Choice: The Scientific and Spiritual Evidence Behind Fate and Free Will.

Since the day we are born, we are bombarded with the contradictory claims that our lives are predestined and that Fate deals us the cards we must play, or that our lives are the results of our choices and that we shape it as we go along. Destiny vs. Choice examines the philosophical, spiritual, and scientific evidence for both claims, and shows us how we can live better, more fulfilling lives no matter which side ultimately “wins” the debate. The book explores the historical battle between Fate and free will, Intelligent design, evolution, the Big Bang, and DNA as blueprints for life, The Law of Attraction, intention, and consciousness as ways to create reality, how quantum physics offers evidence for both destiny and choice and Fate and the paranormal: ghosts, life-after-death experiences, and astrology.

Discover Your Emotional Type with Dr. Marc Micozzi and Mike Jawer

On this episode of Explore Your Spirit with Kala, Kala speaks with Dr. Marck Micozzi and Michael Jawer about their new book, Your Emotional Type. Different people process their feelings in different ways–your emotional style is a fundamental aspect of who you are. It affects more than just your outlook on life; it can affect your well-being as well. Many chronic ailments are not the result of germs or genes but are rooted in our emotional biology. The link between emotional type and health explains why modern medicine–which views treatment as “one size fits all”–often fails to successfully treat chronic pain and illness.

Examining the interplay of emotions, chronic illness and pain, and treatment success, Michael Jawer and Dr. Marc Micozzi reveal how chronic conditions are intrinsically linked to certain emotional types and how these ailments are best treated by choosing a healing therapy in line with your type. Explaining the emotional ties behind the 12 most common chronic illnesses–asthma, allergies, chronic fatigue, depression, fibromyalgia, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, post-traumatic stress disorder, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcers–the authors provide an easy assessment survey that allows you to identify your emotional type as well as the ailments to which you are susceptible. Extending this connection between mind and body, they assess 7 alternative healing therapies–acupuncture, hypnosis, biofeedback, meditation, yoga, guided imagery, and relaxation techniques–and indicate which methods work best for each emotional type. Empowering you as a patient to seek out the therapies that will work best for you, this book offers a welcome path to effective pain relief and sustainable health.

Faith, Hope and Healing with Dr. Bernie Siegel

Bernie Siegel broke new ground with his monumental book Love, Medicine, and Miracles, in which he explored the powerful role the mind can play in fighting illness. Sharing stories of seriously ill patients who survived against the odds and those who seemed to give in to their own deaths, the book inspired countless readers to consider the possibilities of thinking themselves well. Siegel believed–and still does–that the power to heal comes from the human mind through will, determination, and love. Over the last 20 years, his philosophy and advice have led many physicians and other healthcare professionals to help patients participate in and influence their own recovery.

Many readers of Love, Medicine, and Miracles have wondered what comes next. What happened to patients who followed Siegel’s advice? In Faith, Hope, and Healing, Siegel shares the inspiring stories of people who have experienced cancer and found deeper faith, hope, joy, and healing through the process. Grouped into sections on faith, hope, and healing, these stories and Siegel’s insightful commentaries will encourage and help readers to develop an attitude and personality that survivors share, while also offering myriad ways to get through difficult times and discover the gifts that illness can bring into a person’s life.

The physical, spiritual and psychological benefits which followed led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her healing potential. In 1986 his first book, Love. Medicine & Miracles was published. In 1989 Peace, Love & Healing and in 1993 How To Live Between Office Visits followed. He is currently working on other books with the goal of humanizing medical education and medical care, as well as, empowering patients and teaching survival behavior to enhance immune system competency. He wants to help people fix their lives before they are broken, and thus not have to become strong at the broken places. More info at: www.BernieSiegelMD.com

The Bushman Way with Bradford Keeney

Kala speaks with Bradford Keeney about his new book – The Bushman Way of Tracking God. The Kalahari Bushmen are the keepers of the world’s oldest living culture. In spite of colossal challenges and never-ending crises, they have survived for over 60,000 years with joy and peace—yet their spiritual teachings, the source of their enduring wisdom, have never been fully presented. For the first time, these ancient oral traditions have been put down onto paper by a researcher so unique, he was featured in American Shaman: an Odyssey of Global Healing Traditions, which won a Best Spiritual Book award from Spirituality & Health magazine. Bradford Keeney takes the reader through the veil of original spirituality, connecting the fragments of world religions to a source that is unlike any other. Through this wisdom, readers can find the deepest meaning, fullest purpose, and highest joy in life.

The Bushman’s Way to Tracking God is articulated through twelve original mysteries, including: activating the non-subtle universal life force (what the Bushmen call n/om), heightening emotional experience, vibratory interaction, direct downloading and absorption of sacred knowledge, extraordinary healing, activation of the ecstatic “pump,” spontaneous ways of rejuvenation, attending the spiritual classrooms, so-called telepathy, an uncommon range of mystical experiences, and last but not least, total bliss.

The Reiki Guide to Self-Attunement with Brett Bevell

Kala speaks with Brett Bevell, a reiki master and author of The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-Attunement and Reiki for Spiritual Healing. Reiki tradition dictates that we first be initiated, or “attuned,” by a Reiki master in order to properly practice the healing art. With attunement fees as high as $10,000, this custom has barred many hopefuls from ascending through the degrees of Reiki mastery. In this revolutionary guide, Reiki master Brett Bevell breaks with convention and extends the transformative powers of Reiki to all by presenting at-home rituals for self-attunement. In the true healing spirit of Reiki, he also encourages creativity and experimentation with the practice, allowing readers to personalize Reiki for their everyday use.

More About Brett Bevell:
Reiki master Brett Bevell is author of The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-Attunement and Reiki For Spiritual Healing. A poet and performance artist, he is also author of America Needs a Woman President and America Needs a Buddhist President, a poem that initially aired nationwide on NPR’s All Things Considered.

Since receiving his Reiki master initiation in 1995, Bevell has dedicated himself to discovering new Reiki techniques that work collaboratively with the higher self. These simple techniques are not only highly effective, but also shift Reiki into a practice of daily living that can transform even the most mundane aspects of our lives into works of healing.

Also a spoken-word artist, Bevell has electrified audiences around the world with his live oral recitations, and he has often been compared to the late poet Allen Ginsberg. His writing has received critical acclaim from authors such as Anne Waldmen, Rha Goddess, and John Perkins, and has appeared in numerous magazines, including Earth First Journal and Tricycle. Bevell’s poetry is featured on several CDs and is part of NPR’s permanent website archives. More info at: http://www.brettbevell.com/

Medical Intuition with Dr. Norm Shealy

In Medical Intuition: Your Awakening to Wholeness, Dr. Norman Shealy discusses the significant history of the use of medical intuition by leaders in the field and provides a path to using your innate intuition to develop optimal personal power and health. From beginning to end, you’ll learn how to use your basic healing power effectively and immediately.

Dr. Shealy has studied the physiological effects of over a dozen talented healers. He has demonstrated in over 116 patients that competent healers can change the computerized electroencephalogram, or brain map, from a distance and they can enhance DHEA and beta endorphin production. His current research emphasizes the potential for using electromagnetic approaches to rejuvenate the body’s production of DHEA and Calcitonin, as well as to reduce free radicals. His latest discovery is rejuvenation of DNA telomeres, which are critical for health and longevity.

More About Dr. Norman Shealy:
C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. is a neurosurgeon who was instrumental in creating The American Holistic Medical Association, which continues to emphasize the spiritual component of healing. In 1973, recognizing the need to incorporate spirituality into medical practice, he founded, with Reverend Henry Rucker, The Science of Mind Church of Chicago, which became the International Science of Mind Church for Spiritual Healing, and which created Holos University Graduate Seminary, offering masters and doctoral programs in Spiritual Healing and Energy Medicine.

Dr. Shealy introduced the concepts of Dorsal Column Stimulation and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), both now used world-wide. This innovation has led to the establishment of international societies dedicated to furthering the field of neuromodulation. In 1971 he founded the first comprehensive, holistic clinic for management of pain and stress management. The Shealy Institute became the most successful and most cost-effective pain clinic in the U.S, with 85% success in over 30,000 patients. The Shealy protocols for management of depression, migraine, fibromyalgia and back pain are increasingly being integrated into hospitals and individual practices. More info at: www.normshealy.com
