On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with Darrin Owens. In 2011 Darrin experienced a transformation in his personal and spiritual life. After a regression with famed, past life therapist, Dolores Cannon, he retained powerful memories of a lifetime with Queen Elizabeth I. This regression was a catalyst and doorway to establish a new level of his spiritual work with “Gloriana” the consciousness and intelligence of the Divine Feminine. Darrin also stands on the foundations of “A Course in Miracles” and the work of Edgar Cayce in his spiritual teaching and practice. Darrin is on a mission to help others embrace their spirituality with his book “Reader of Hearts: The Life and Teachings of a Reluctant Psychic”. According to Darrin, being a psychic isn’t just about “knowing things”; it is also a spiritual practice. This lively, entertaining book offers seven lessons of the spiritual path — including spiritual awakening; conscious creation; attunement; and inner guidance — and relates stories from Darrin’s life to illustrate them. Each chapter addresses one of the lessons and includes exercises, prayers, guided meditations, and affirmations. By turns both humorous and poignant, the book offers wisdom and guidance for readers just discovering their spiritual connections and those already accomplished in psychic and spiritual skills.

On this episode of the Explore Your Spirit with Kala Show, Kala speaks with author Judith Diana Winston about her new book, Keeper of the Diary. Circumstances force fashion photographer, Cassie, to take an unlikely assignment in Egypt, where a diary mysteriously appears in her camera case. Inextricably drawn to its content, she begins to discover a surprising connection to the diary’s writer. She doesn’t know whether or not to believe it, but if the diary is true, it means not only that its writer is in mortal danger but also our entire Planet. The discovery of the diary starts Cassie on a spiritual journey of adventure, intrigue and synchronicity, that takes her to many of the world’s most ancient and enigmatic Sacred Stone Sites, and leads her to uncover the Planet’s most primeval and powerful knowledge—including the surprising secret of her own past. As her startling mission becomes clearer, Cassie finds herself and the diary’s distant (or not-so-distant) writer tapping into a potent stream of knowledge and energy that has flowed through ancient civilizations – from Atlantis to Egypt and Israel, to South America and the South Pacific. It gradually becomes clear that understanding the secrets underlying our world – and these civilizations – is not just a stop on a tour bus, but rather it is essential in battling the forces of Darkness, Ignorance, Fear, and Separation that threaten humanity today. However, to find the diary’s creator and save him, Cassie must overcome her own self-doubt, and come to terms with her gifts and passions as well as a life-altering destiny she never imagined existed.

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.

Time is running out, and Cassie delves deeply into the highest arts of Witchcraft to discover the terrifying truth… and to survive. Will Cassie be trapped between worlds? With Trenton? Forever?

On this episode of Explore Your Spirit with Kala, Kala speaks with Maureen Seaberg about Synesthesia. A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays a certain note; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as she composes a ballad; an actress tastes cake when she utters the word “table.” This fascinating mingling of the senses is called “synesthesia,” and the people who possess this amazing gift are called “synesthetes.” Synesthesia is scientifically described as a cross-wiring, or lack of chemical inhibition, between brain neurons that occurs in about five percent of the population, often among “creatives”–musicians, artists, actors, writers, and so on. Scientific research is currently being conducted throughout the world to discover more about this condition. However, experts in the fields of spirituality and quantum physics are convinced that the truth of synesthesia lies not only within traditional science, but also within the realm of the mystical and the ineffable. Step into Maureen’s glittering alternate universe as she explores this fascinating subject, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper spiritual truths. Tasting the Universe explains and explores: * Why survivors of near-death experiences sometimes “return” with this amazing gift. * Why all infants are believed to be synesthetes until four months of age. * The experiences of famous synesthetes such as Itzhak Perlman, Billy Joel, Pharrell Williams, and Marilyn Monroe (whose biographer, Norman Mailer, first asserted that she possessed this gift). For Maureen, synesthesia is not an idle “brain tick” that can be explained away by science (although it does offer some important clues), but a unique and ineffable ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine.

On this episode of Explore Your Spirit with Kala, Kala speaks with Dannion Brinkley. Dannion’s expertise in the area of death and dying has educated millions not to fear the presently held concept of transition from this world to the next. As a result of his journeys to the ‘other side’ and back again, he brings to the forefront the wondrous truth that there is indeed no such thing as death. Dannion has survived insurmountable odds including two lightning strikes, open-heart surgery, brain surgery and a massive grand mal seizure. Many concur that Mr. Brinkley is a truly one of the world’s most incredible near-dear survivors, truly a “walking miracle”! In related issues surrounding the death process, Brinkley is one of the early crusaders of hospice and palliative care bringing the topic of end of life care to the forefront of discussion and education in America. Dannion created a non-profit organization, The Twilight Brigade (Compassion in action) to recruit hospice volunteers for dying Veterans. He has been a hospice volunteer for over twenty-seven years, having personally accrued more than 18,000 hours at the bedside. These decades of tremendous hands-on experience qualify him as a leading expert in the grief and bereavement process as well as being an authority in the field of necrophobic reduction.

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.”

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.

On this episode of Explore Your Spirit with Kala, Kala speaks with Timothy Wyllie, author of The Return of the Rebel Angels: The Urantia Mysteries and the Coming of the Light. As recorded in The Urantia Book, two hundred millennia ago 37 planets, including our own, were quarantined from the rest of the Multiverse to quell the spread of the rebellion within the angelic hierarchy. Now, after eons of isolation, the fallen angels have been forgiven and Earth’s connection with the Multiverse is being restored, initiating a massive transformation of consciousness as we reconnect with angelic guides, extraterrestrial beings, and our spiritual heritage as sacred vessels for God’s presence. Providing an update to The Urantia Book through angelic transmissions he has received and remarkable spirits he has met, Timothy Wyllie investigates the underlying motives of the angelic rebellion and the impact it has had on our planet for the past 200,000 years. Offering a profoundly optimistic vision of the future and reassurance that the coming spiritual transition will be gentle, Timothy Wyllie describes his encounters with angels, ETs, and other enlightened beings around the world, including how he made contact with his own guardian angels, met the man who may have been Grand Master of the Prieure de Zion, fell in love with a beautiful Cathar reincarnate in Provence, and officiated at the 1981 Conference in Spirit inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. He explores different planetary cosmologies, authentic extraterrestrial intelligence, entheogenic revelations, and the spiritual implications of the Holographic Paradigm, weaving together a coherent and provocative understanding of the current state of our planet within the larger context of a benevolent and caring Multiverse.

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.
