Kala speaks with Zohara Hieronimus, author The Kabbalistic Teachings of the Female Prophets. Zohara's book discusses The spiritual teachings of Israel’s biblical prophetesses from a kabbalistic perspective. Zohara explores the lives and symbolic significance of seven female prophets: Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chanah, Avigail, Chuldah, and Esther and uses the gematria of Jewish metaphysics to demonstrate that prophecy is a mystical initiatory path by which Divine Will is made known, not only a tool for telling the future. The seven prophetesses of Israel--Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Chanah, Avigail, Chuldah, and Esther--lived between 1800 and 350 BCE. Their combined lives reflect a kabbalistic path of spiritual evolution that is as pertinent to our lives today as it was for the biblical communities in which they lived. From her studies of the Torah and classical gematria, Zohara Hieronimus shows that each prophetess is linked to a Sefirah on the kabbalistic Tree of Life: from creation (Sarah) through learning correct moral action (Devorah) to the promise of redemption and ultimately resurrection (Esther). Using the stories of their lives and teachings, Hieronimus reveals the relationship of each prophetess to the seven days of the week, the seven sacred species of Israel, the human body, and Jewish holidays and rituals.

Kala speaks with John English, author of The Little Book on Relationship. Twenty-one years ago feeling lost and wondering what life was all about John English realized that our problems in relationships are actually rooted in our view and perceptions of how we see ourselves and other people. Through our relationships with others we can see who we are and we come to know ourselves through our interactions with those around us. Over the last twenty years John English has developed a process of empowering his relationships and shares some of the techniques he has gathered from the Medicine teachings and other ancient wisdom to easily shift his perception and keep his relationships running smoothly. Our relationships are an opportunity for us to explore our potential and our power while we are here on the physical plane. In a Conscious Relationship the individuals involved know that each interaction is an opportunity for them to realize their highest potential and power and evolve into the best spiritual beings they can be while having a human experience.

Kala speaks with Bob Curran about his book, Werewolves; A Field Guide to Shapeshiters, Lycanthropes, and Man-Beasts. Most of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf-that someone can change, either deliberately or unwillingly, into a ravenous creature-but is there some justification for such a belief? And if so, how is it achieved-through magical potions or ointments or simply by the light of the full moon? Or is the whole thing simply a form of delusion, the product of a disturbed mind? In Werewolves, author Dr. Bob Curran examines the deep psychological roots that underlie this profane linking of human and beast. Do the roots of such a belief lie in the supernatural world, or are there other explanations? How has the discovery of feral children shaped our ideas of human-beasts? And what is the future of such beliefs? The author also considers the use of genetic engineering-in this case, the fusing of human and animal genes-in order to cure some human diseases and alleviate suffering. Is the idea of man turning into beast really so far fetched? Werewolves is an essential reference book that takes an in-depth look at a fascinating subject. One word of warning, though: It must never be read under the baleful rays of a full moon. You have been warned!

Kala speaks with Brad Steiger about his book Real Vampires, Night Stalkers and Creatures from the Darkside. A chilling chronicle by Steiger who shares that vampires are not immortal, do not have fangs or sleep in coffins, and have no fear of sunlight or crucifixes, the examination dispels many myths but also confirms the truth behind several traits of real vampires, such as the insatiable thirst for blood and the dream of an eternal soul. Complete with 30 spine-tingling tales of the hideous wraiths and creatures that lurk in shadow, this fascinating collection includes the stories of the Mexican prostitute who mesmerized an entire village, convincing them she was an Incan goddess who required human sacrifice for her magic.

Kala speaks with Dr. Christian de Quincey about his book, Consciousness from Zombies to Angels: The Shadow and the Light of Knowing Who You Are. All of us exhibit both shadow and light, aspects of ourselves we fear and deny (our inner Zombies) as well as qualities we admire and want to radiate (our inner Angels). The key to a creative and fulfilled life is to integrate both. De Quincey reveals that the way to transformation is to accept ourselves exactly as we are--a work in progress. Learn the difference between “energy talk” and “consciousness talk”; how the body affects the mind, and vice versa; and where to go for help to develop consciousness, heal emotions, or grow spiritually. Find out why facing up to your darkest fears will liberate your brightest light as you learn to embrace all of your humanity and experience the power of transformation.

Kala speaks with Patricia Panahi about her book, God Outside the Box - A Story of Breaking Free. Born of a Catholic mother and Moslem father, Patti is never sure what religion to follow, or any at all for that matter. In her youth and early twenties, she explores numerous religions, but none speak to her soul. She can't accept the idea that one group has the whole truth and everyone else is wrong, or confused, or infidels, or a cult, or going to burn in hell for all time. To limit her thinking for religious purposes is like living in a cubicle and not being allowed to look over the wall and see what is going on outside. She wants to think for herself, to study, to analyze and to practice without inhibitions. Why would God only accept the practices and prayers of one particular group and not others? An omniscient God can't be that petty, can he-or she? She finally concludes that she just doesn't know and flounders in a spiritual void for a time. But when she is diagnosed with a serious illness and haunted by inner demons of her past, she cracks and falls apart. Deep, buried emotions erupt to the surface, shaking her to her core. Propelled to seek answers and find inner peace, she cries out to the heavens for help. Consequently, she tumbles into a spiritual adventure that explodes her concepts of reality and opens her to a brave new world where souls talk, trees emit energy fields, rocks have life, and God is everywhere.

Kala speaks with Dr. Caron Goode about her book, Raising Intuitive Children. Her book helps parents understand an intuitive child's world and teaches them how to validate, not suppress, these intuitive abilities.

Psychotherapist Caron Goode teams up with parenting expert and coach Tara Paterson to share explanations, stories, and examples in this guide. It shows how to know if a child is intuitively gifted, how to shift the parenting style to meet a child's style and strengths, use breathing techniques to stay centered, calm, and optimistic, create rituals so children can feel solid and bring forth their intuitive intelligence, deal with environmental and nutrition elements that especially affect intuitive's and explore strategies for bonding and communication at each stage of development.

Kala speaks with Wendy Purcell about her book, Ask Yourself This: Questions to open the heart, expand the mind & awaken the soul. Observing that today's world events are prompting people to re-evaluate what's important in life, who they are and, who they want to be, Wendy understands that while self-exploration comes easily to some, it can be an intimidating endeavor for those less naturally introspective. Either way, in "Ask Yourself This," Wendy reveals the startling insight that the right questions asked at the right time can be even more powerful than the answers. She notes, "Questions are like channels through which our mental, emotional and creative energy flows... Asking good questions is the doorway to personal transformation."

Kala speaks with Dr. John L. Turner, author of Medicine, Miracles and Manifestations - A Doctor's Journey Through the Worlds of Divine Intervention, Near-Death Experiences and Universal Energy. As a physicist and surgeon, Dr. John Turner's curiosity drove him to explore nontraditional healing modalities. Other-worldly events began the first day he was on call on the Big Island of Hawai'i. As time passed, he realized that a book was in the making, a book about his spiritual journey which included methods of healing and spiritual pathways not customarily taught in medical training programs. These techniques include the practice of Johrei (Mr. Mokichi Okada's healing art of Japan), chanting, soul travel and astral projection (as espoused by Eckankar, Robert Bruce and others). Many readers will have an interest in or will be familiar with the concept of Remote Viewing (as developed by Hal Puthoff, Ingo Swann and Russell Targ at the Stanford Research Institute). Dr. Turner describes his training in Technical Remote Viewing by Psi Tech (Major Ed Dames and Ms. Joni Dourif) and the subsequent use of this art in medical diagnosis and treatment.

Kala speaks with Luigi Morelli about his book, A Revolution of Hope: Spirituality, Cultural Renewal and Social Change. The twentieth century has sown the seeds of a possible cultural revolution. One of these can be identified with the name of ‘experiential spirituality’ and with practices that subvert the dualism of the present domination culture and invite us to change our cultural values from inside out. Luigi shares his cultural-spiritual vision of social change that encompasses political activism. He promotes a vision in which modern Civil Society can embrace the tools of experiential spirituality for a fresher understanding of universal truths, and the creation of a new culture, free from dogma, racial and social biases.

Kala speaks with nutritionist Deanna Minich about her book, Chakra Foods for Optimum Health. Deanna says that the way we approach foods and eating is a tiny window into the landscape of how we live life. Do you feel that you are confused by what to eat? Have you lost touch with your body’s wisdom in knowing which foods are best for you in any given moment? Is your life chaotic and stress-filled, and eating is either simply another task or a quiet refuge to sink your feelings into? The answers we are so earnestly craving lie before us – at the dining room table, at the restaurant, at the grocery store, and in the garden. Within the eating experiences are planted the true root of what needs healing at our innermost core. When we pay attention to what our body requires and view foods as healing, we get right to the heart of why we have manifested dysfunctional lives, imbalanced bodies, and restless souls.
