Halloween Special: Shadow World with Brad Steiger

Who inhabits the Shadow World? We're not just talking about spirits of the dead. And “friendly” is not a proper description of their character. Having conducted research through five decades and across four continents, investigator Brad Steiger concludes that a richly populated Shadow World exists all around us. When it impinges on our ordinary plane of shared reality, this dark dimension is sometimes frightening, occasionally menacing, but always worthy of cautious exploration.

Spirits of the dead are but one of the many types of beings that inhabit in the Shadow World. Others appear to be multidimensional beings, some of whom may be benign, while others seem to be cosmic tricksters or troublemakers bent on mischief. And unfortunately some of the beings that seem to have our best interests at heart may in fact have entered our world with the intention of possessing our bodies or capturing our souls.

Journey with Kala as she explores the depths of the Shadow World with Brad Steiger. His book is: SHADOW WORLD True Encounters with Beings from the Darkside.

A Weekend with Matthew Sanford in New York

Glance at the cover of any yoga magazine and it’s easy to typecast how yoga is supposed to look. The most convincing examples of the power of the mind-body connection, however, may actually be when yoga doesn't fit the mold. As Matthew Sanford says, "Yoga moves through any body." And if anybody should know, it’s Matthew.

At 13, Matthew Sanford was an athletic little boy who loved hanging upside-down and climbing trees. But it all changed in an instant when his family car slipped off an icy overpass, killing his father and sister and leaving him permanently paralyzed from the chest down. He lived 12 painful years as a floating torso, following the advice of doctors to forget his lower half—until he discovered yoga and the vital connection between mind and body. Now 41, Matthew has become a nationally recognized paraplegic yoga teacher, critically acclaimed author, and renowned expert in mind-body integration. He has dedicated his life to helping others experience the enlightening powers of the mind-body connection, insight learned only through his unique mind-body experience of paralysis and yoga. His is a true story about all of us—able-bodied and disabled alike—and our inner capacity for survival, grace, acceptance and healing. There isn't a life for which Matthew's wisdom would not apply for we all experience trauma and pain, life and death—it's how we choose to live with it that is the ultimate quest.

Matthew is traveling around the country teaching yoga and speaking about the importance of having a conscious connection between mind and body. His non-profit, Mind Body Solutions, and award-winning book Waking: A Memoir of Trauma and Transcendence (Rodale, 2006/paperback spring 2008) inspire many.

If you'd like to learn more about Matthew, his interview is available on Explore Your Spirit here: http://exploreyourspirit.com/Media/shows3.shtml#SANFORDYOGA

and...
If you're in New York, Matthew will be lecturing, signing books and conducting a yoga workshop at the following:

Jivamukti Yoga School, 841 Broadway, Downtown, New York City

www.jivamuktiyoga.com
In this lecture, nationally recognized paraplegic yoga teacher and author, Matthew Sanford, will bring the audience not only inside a catastrophic car accident and living with paralysis, but more importantly, inside the mind-body relationship. His heart-wrenching story offers glimpses into the nature of trauma, the healing potential of yoga, and the hope of transforming our healthcare system.

Jivamukti Yoga School, 841 Broadway, Downtown, New York City
Yoga workshop: BEYOND THE PHYSICAL ASANA
Saturday November 10, 2007
9:30am – 11:30am
$65
212-353-0214 (registration required)
www.jivamuktiyoga.com
In this yoga workshop, students will be challenged to explore beyond the physical performance of asanas and delve into their underlying energetic nature. In so doing, they will gain glimpses into the heart of yoga. Heightened attention to alignment and precision integrate the subtle, energetic connections between mind, body and spirit. This is a revolutionary breakthrough revealed through Iyengar yoga. It also makes the practice of yoga possible for Matthew Sanford. Paralyzed from the chest down, Matthew has spent sixteen years exploring these subtle connections, connections that are not impeded by his paralysis but, in fact, enhanced by it. It is recommended that people taking the Saturday asana workshop also attend the lecture on Friday night.

Phenomenal Uri Geller on NBC Oct 24th, interview on Explore Your Spirit Now!

I had the "phenomenal" opportunity to interivew Uri Geller,
Listen to the interview here: ExploreYourSpirit.com
and talk about his upcoming show on NBC, Phenomenon with Criss Angel. The Show begins on Wednesday, October 24th. Uri Geller is the world's most investigated and celebrated paranormalist and is the author of many best-selling books on the human mind. Famous around the world for his mind bending psychic powers, and he has been studied and consulted by scientists and intelligence agencies worldwide.

During my interview with Uri, we discuss the show, his spoon bending and other psi abilities and his love of art, including the time he spent the legendary artist, Salvador Dali.

Phenomenon is a live competition series that leads the search for the next great mentalist. The attention surrounding Phenomenon will undoubtedly cast enormous interest in another fascinating project Geller is involved with, which concentrates on a larger reality: Staya Erusa Find the Book of Knowledge.

Sacred Vow

CG Walters has been a guest on our show, Explore Your Spirit where we chatted about his novel, Sacred Vow. Sacred Vow is a love story—refreshingly different from the typical man meets woman romance—to explore endless mystical possibilities about sacred love, parallel lives, and past lives and/or to journey deeply inside, exploring and discovering one's own mystical longings and the wealth of endless knowledge contained within.
If you havent't heard this stirring, heartfelt interview, it's available anytime here on Explore Your Spirit:

CG recently contacted me about his newest project, which is introducing new readers to Sacred Vow, by sharing it for free! For more information, read his letter below....

Much love to you on your journey... *~Kala~*

Free Sacred Vow

hello Kala…hope all is well with you…

I have decided to allow anyone interested to get a full length FREE PDF of Sacred Vow by going to www.cgwalters.com/spirit_story.htm and clicking the link on the link in the page to send an email request. —it's best that the requests come through this way so that the subject line has an identifier that will keep my email software from dumping it into the junk box.
The file is 1MB, so may pose a problem for some. If so, just respond to email and let me know. I will try to work something out.

I have seen numerous examples of “conscious business” being done on the concept of “pay me according to the benefit you receive.” I have also seen many reports on the new nature of publishing. I am moved to make a bold change because of such as these items along with some sense of distress in my own spirit about whether I was restricting the flow of energy that is Sacred Vow by only allowing its presence to come forth via the traditional publishing path.

I woke the other morning with a fever in body, mind and spirit. I knew that I have had quite the internal conflict going on about this book….and just recently, I think the stress of that conflict may have forced me to override my fears and concerns-and (symbolically) jump off the mountain to use my wings to fly.

Though we continue to get excellent reviews and good readership, the time has come when I must decide which I believe in more-the message of Sacred Vow, or the +$100,000 that I had invested in bringing that message forward so far. Focusing on managing to recover the cash was giving me a fever.

From the moment Sacred Vow came into my life it has shown itself to be a spirit story…a living tale in progression that arises not merely from the author, but is a collective, interactive work of everyone that will become involved with it–past, present and future.

In such a story, cause and effect is anything by linear. The readers of the future are even now interacting with me in the past, to develop the avenue that allows Sacred Vow to come forth to the help heal the rift in the Collective Consciousness. As is the nature of spirit stories, it will say what we have the heart to hear…and that will change from time to time.

From the beginning, this story has taken me through unanticipated twists and turns. I was writing short stories as warm up to a project I wished to return when Sacred Vow started flowing and kept growing no matter how many times I cut it, starting later in the action. It would be no short-story!

Acknowledging that fact, I spoke to the spirit of Sacred Vow and agreed to allow it to be a novel, but said, “There's just one problem…to write a novel I must connect with the story long enough, deeply enough to live it. My current work will not allow me enough time or focus.”

In two weeks I had been downsized! So I began to write.

It only took two months to rough draft Sacred Vow. Three weeks of that time I was writing (in my little, 3 foot by 5 foot room) 10-12 hours per day, seven days per week. It was like awakening a memory, a waking dream in a meditative state. My wife, Kathy, said that I seemed to glow–and almost glide over the floor–whenever I came in the house.

For over twenty years writing had been a spiritual practice for me. Whenever I could or would not learn otherwise, I have been blessed to receive the lessons through story. All I had to do was give myself fully and openly, and a story would flow. For all that time, I learned and then hid the work away…knowing that a time would come when I had to fulfill a spiritual agreement to bring forth my writing. Though Sacred Vow was unfamiliar to me until the moment the book began, it was evident that this story was the journey I had been anticipating so long.

Once the book was complete, I tried to learn how to bring its message forward through the complex mechanism of the publishing world. Far more comfortable with solitary walking of the mists on the mountain-top, I did what I could to present the story in a format worthy its spirit. Sacred Vow achieved only critical acclaim, but I have never been comfortable that this standard avenue of publication is the path that Sacred Vow should be committed to–its message is too important for convention.

Unfortunately, I (and my finances) got so involved with my efforts that I was losing sight of the purpose of Sacred Vow. I knew intuitively that something was wrong, but my obsessive focus would not allow me to see. For some time I have had a rumbling within me. It seems that Sacred Vow let me veer as far off the path as I would, until the very nature of being lost would bring me to my senses–much like a Zen koan.

Samhain nears, the time many say the veil between worlds is its most sheer. Sacred Vow is a story of parallel universes and the multidimensional nature of our loves and our relationships.

We are nearing the season of the year where we traditionally enjoy many of our celebrations of giving, of love, and of communion–Thanksgiving, Chanukah, The Hajj, Christmas, Kwanzaa. The rift in the Collective Consciousness that is so central in Sacred Vow is occurring because people in the worlds of the characters are dissociating from one another, from the world they live, from other life forms, and from the effect their own thoughts have on their reality. I believe that our world is in much the same state…and that is why Sacred Vow decided it would come now…no matter what my plans might have been.

For importance of the message of Sacred Vow—and the effect I believe it will have on those called to it–I am choosing to give this full length PDF of Sacred Vow to anyone who sends me an email via the link mentioned above. After that, I offer the future of its the path to Spirit.

Note: Anyone can still purchase a signed, personalized paperback copy of Sacred Vow at
http://sacredvow.dragonsbeard.com/ or get unsigned copies via online or brick and mortar stores.

Peace and wonder, dear friend,

Exploring the Paranormal on Explore Your Spirit with Kala

We have a great line up of shows for October on Explore Your Spirit. Going with our theme this month of Exploring Halloween and the Paranormal, this month's guests include..

Legendary author and researcher, Brad Steiger is back visiting with me as we delve into his book "Shadow World" and the various types of beings that are part of our world and occasionally interact with us, in positive and negative ways. In my interview with Brad, we dig deep into his book, and discuss stories like the college friends who move into an old house together and soon find out they are not alone... Over the months they spend there, they are attacked and terrified and when they've had enough and leave, rather than relief, the "thing" follows them for years afterwards! If you've ever thought about ghosthunting and what's the worst that could happen, this book is a must read! As I say to Brad in the show, I think it should be "required reading" for all ghost hunting groups!

Uri Geller will be on our show next week and we'll discuss his psi abilities and spoon bending powers, along with his new show coming out on NBC on October 23rd, entitled Phenomenom.

Author and Medium, Linda Drake, discusses "Healing Through the Veil", connecting people with loved ones through her mediumship work. Her book describes powerful and soul stirring experiences felt by those she comes into contact with, from this plane and the other side.

Coming in November, Dr. Stanley Krippner will spend some time with us discussing Dream Telepathy and his work in this field over the past three decades.

We have many other amazing shows this month, and we're pulling a few classics back out of the archives this month, including a fantastic discussion with John Michael Greer on Monsters, where he discusses werewolves, vampires, other-wordly beings and mermaids and fairies!

Check it all out, all available on http://www.ExploreYourSpirit.com
All shows are available on the Talk Show (archives) page and are free to download anytime!

Happy Halloween!

"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down". – Ray Bradbury
