The universe responds to your frequency. It doesn’t identify with your personal desires, wishes, wants or needs; however, it only understands the frequency in which you’re vibrating on. What you think about supports a vibration within you. Come tune-in and listen to Coach Ka as he talks about “Where Is Your Frequency"?

Everything is energy and has a vibration. From the chair you're sitting on, to the car your driving, to the thoughts you think and the colors you see and wear. The difference is that everything vibrates at various frequencies. Come tune-in to Coach Ka as he explores the topic “How can I not allow other people’s negative energy to affect me”?
Negative energy affects us constantly and we often don’t even realize it. Our beliefs shift slightly and the way we perceive the world changes, all because negative vibrations enter our body and distort the truth. Come tune-in with coach Ka as he asks us the question “Where Do You Live Vibrationally”?
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on your job, religion, politics, relationships or life itself? Character cannot be developed in ease and comfort.

We all have some fears and insecurities. For example, fear of the unknown, fear of failure or success, fear of abandonment to name a few, however fear does not actually have to be something to be afraid of.

People may be unsure of their abilities when approaching a substantial change in their life. Therefore, fear of failure causes many to feel stuck or unseen, but without fear there cannot be courage.

Come tune-in and explore the topic “Ready or Not are You Ready to Grow” as it will cause you to question your beliefs about growth and change.
A belief is something that you believe or accept as true. For some of our most important beliefs, we have no evidence at all, except that people we love the most, and trust hold these same beliefs. You owe it to yourself to question every belief you hold dear to your heart. Come tune-in and explore with Coach Ka the question “Is Your Belief Helping or Hurting Your Sense of Reality”.
Belief is something you don’t have to force into our existence. In fact, Belief systems are the stories we tell ourselves to define our personal sense of reality. Every human being has a belief system that they use, and it’s through this process that we individually, “make sense” of the world around us. Come tune-in and listen to coach Ka as he explores the question “Is Having a Belief Good or Bad”?
How might your life change if all your beliefs were re-examined and you found out that what you were believing was a lie. How might your life change?

What does true value mean in a relationship? Does a man value only consist of how much money he brings to the table? Does a woman value only consist of what she brings to the table? Does sex or a person’s status bring value to a relationship? It looks like in today’s society the collective major in minor things when it comes to true value in a relationship. Come explore with coach KA the question “What is True Value in a Man or Woman?” It’s more than what money can buy.
The truth about self-hatred is an uncomfortable truth. In fact, self-hatred is a childhood survival strategy, but it no longer serves us in our adult life. Imagine what your life would feel and be like if you were able to let go of your negative or even hateful self-talk and replace it with a compassionate and wise inner voice? Come explore with coach KA the question “Is It Possible to Move from Self-hatred to Self-compassion” because the truth of the matter is humans need self-love, not self-hate.
Even though emotional pain can feel overwhelming we do have the power to heal it. Pain is part of the human experience, and people's reactions to it can sometimes harm their relationships and ultimately themselves. Come explore with coach KA on the topic “Breaking the Cycles of Pain” as it’s important to find healthy ways to express anger and other difficult emotions so that you can live a life full of health and well-being.
Growing up as I child I use to think that the God of the bible was just one God. As I gotten older and see the bible through a higher lens, I see that the people had options and the main Elohim God (Yahweh) in the Old Testament wasn’t having it. He was notable for saying “For you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” (Exod. 34:14). Some leading researchers on emotion argue that jealousy is not an emotion at all, but a union of fluctuating feelings of anger, fear, sadness, or disgust. Jealousy emerges when a valued relationship with another person is threatened by a rival who appears to be competing for attention, affection, or commitment. Come tune-in and hear Coach KA share his thoughts on “Is God Loving and Jealous at The Same Time”?

A patient in a hospital is connected to a battery of medical instruments monitoring organs, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, brain activity, and anything else that can be measured. Instruments measure symptoms of Life, but not Life itself. Science or religion, for that matter never asks what Life is? Man is essentially a creator of his environment and his circumstances, and not the result of these things. Come explore with Coach KA the question has humanity been lied to about Life?
The adventure of human life started in Eden. According to this belief in Eden, man took his first steps, enjoyed a short moment of endless happiness which we call paradise, and then made a decision that bore consequences for which he is still paying. This regrettable decision goes under the name of “original sin.” Let’s take a closer look at Eden and why did God place Adam eastward in the garden of Eden. Come explore with coach KA the question is Adam and Eve responsible for the evil in the world today?
Scientists have discovered hundreds of planets outside our solar system. In fact, on average, astronomers discover about 25 planets a year. With that said in the bible it’s recorded in the book of Genesis that this earth was without form and void (Gen 1:2). Something happened here on earth. The book of Genesis opens up with more of a restart of life here rather than the beginning of life. It gives us an idea of what took place from the restart. Come explore with coach KA the daunting question is “Elohim” translated God in the bible really God? Is Elohim plural or singular? Are they immortal? Let us dive deeper into the text to see if Elohim truly is God or the powerful ones who came down from heaven (another planet) to colonize civilization as we know it today.

We often have so many thoughts per day that it’s hard to feel like we’re living in the now. Sometimes, it feels like they overrun your brain. That’s when you know that you need to learn how to manage your mind, so your mind is not mastering you. Come tune-in to coach KA as he shares with us ways to “Mind Your Own Thinking.”
Have you heard the term ‘second brain’? Scientists call the gut the “second brain” for a reason. Just about everything in this life we were told was a lie. From our educational system to religion, politics, food, healthcare industry, our bodies, sports, God, etc. You name it and I’m sure to some degree it needs to be re-examined with a closer critical and intuitive eye. Come tune-in and listen to coach KA as he shares with us some insights about the second brain in how that can help us navigate ahead on what’s coming to a dying world system as we wake up to who we really are.
As we observe the signs of climate change around the world, if one looks closely, you will be able to see ‘Mother Nature” trying to tell us something that is very important. We need to change our way of being. Times of stress and uncertainty can leave us feeling lost. Lost in a sea of unfamiliar patterns and conflicting emotions. For many of us, conflicts such as this can shine a light on how attuned, or unattuned, we are to our internal world. Come tune-in as coach KA shares with us ways we can seek higher spiritual knowledge so we can ascend and become the best version of ourselves while living here on earth.
Has “freedom” turned into one of those buzzwords honored more in the attraction than in its application? Frederick Douglass delivered a “West India Emancipation” speech at Canandaigua, New York, on the twenty-third anniversary of the event. He uttered two paragraphs that became the most quoted sentences of all of his public speeches. They began with the words, “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” We like the idea of being free, but what is the true sense of freedom? Come tune in and listen to coach KA as he asks us the question “Are We Really Free”?
There is an African proverb that once said that “The sheep will spend its entire life fearing the wolf, only to be eaten by the shepherd.” Shepherds came to be a symbol of protection, power, and authority and oftentimes we give up our rights as human beings to leaders and people alike who have that authority, but no intentions of doing what they said they were going to do. They may seem innocent, but they have ulterior motives. They’ll use different tactics to camouflage their intentions. People don’t go out of their way to manipulate others unless they’re getting something out of it. Come tune into Coach KA podcast and listen in on how to "Beware of Wolves in Sheep Clothing Part II".It has nothing to do with what you might have done, but everything to do with who they are.

Everything rises and falls on leadership. Most people have a desire to look for the exception instead of the desire to become rare by being genuine. One of the greatest displays of leadership is service to others as leadership is born out of character and a determination to be and fully express yourself. Too many people are ready to assert their rights, but not to assume their responsibilities. When the character of leaders is low, so are their standards. Come tune-in to coach KA episode as he shares passionately about the most important ingredient of leadership. It’s what this world is desperately in need of today.
We are living in unprecedented times. I mentioned in the beginning of the year that the year 2023 (2+0+2+3 = 7) will be a year for us to be focused, introspective, intuitive, and spiritually reflective. Expect a major soul and spiritual awakening to shake up the collective. This is because seven's energy symbolizes the power of knowledge and belief systems. So, if you’re feeling some kind of way during the course of this week sit back and tune into the sound of this 10 minute audio and gain clarity on what you want to do or manifest into this reality. It's better to be in the know than not to know what is really going on within you and the world we are living in today.

It is a scientific truth that whatever is retained as fact in consciousness is bound to be manifested either in words, deeds, or bodily condition. In today’s episode coach KA wants to examine one characteristic which may be consistently active in a man's life, that it becomes a law. We must admit history shows that kindness is not a virtue that comes naturally to mankind, but it may become, as some may say, "second nature." We applaud kindness in the countless crises of life, but how great is the need in the world we are living in for ordinary kindness to rule the hearts of men and woman today. Let us reconsider how we relate and treat one other by “Cultivating the Law of Kindness”.
Being in crisis mode doesn’t feel good. Our world is under a major shift right now economically and spiritually. During this shift the way we have been doing life will change, however people often don’t recognize problem areas in their lives until they have to handle them during a crisis. Crisis situations put our bodies into “fight or flight” mode. No matter what the crisis is you and I can exit each situation with a new lesson learned and take that knowledge forward with us. Listen in to this week’s podcast as Coach KA shares with us a few life lessons he has learned during crisis moments. The more we are equipped with knowledge and wisdom the better off we can be in handling crisis situations.
This week in the USA is what they call ‘Passover week’. Evening of Wednesday, Apr 5th, 2023 - Evening of Thursday, Apr 13th, 2023. This week I chose some peaceful music designed to help us relax and self-retrospect. It can allow you to enter into a natural 'calm state' and can be used as a tool to self-reflect on your life path both inward and outward, all around you - up, down, left, and right, you can find that your general sense of awareness focuses on stillness and calmness while you also begin to let go of intrusive thoughts. Listen to this in a quiet place as it’s only 2 minutes 17 seconds long. Enjoy this week’s podcast as you focus on your life’s journey, and I’ll be back next week with more “AHA Moments with Coach KA”.

We are here to master the material world and too often we give our power away and don’t realize it until it’s too late. We spend our life in a cycle of trying to find happiness through things that are temporary. We must realize that happiness is already within us. A thief doesn’t belong with you and these cravings are robbing us of our peace. Tune-in and listen to coach KA as he shares with us the 5 thieves that come to steal your peace and what you can do about it. We can’t let these thieves steal a piece of us any longer. Remember who you are and manifest the life you want from the inside out.
Waiting to Exhale is a 1995 American romance film directed by Forest Whitaker (in his feature film directorial debut) and starring Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett. The story centers on four women living in the Phoenix, Arizona, area, and their relationships with men and one another. All of them are "holding their breath" until the day they can feel comfortable in a committed relationship with themselves. Come tune-in and listen to coach KA as he explains how being able to forgive yourself requires empathy, compassion, kindness, and understanding. It also requires you to accept that forgiveness is a choice and only you have the power to choose to forgive yourself. The question then becomes "Are You Still Waiting to Exhale"?
Why is change so hard to embrace? Are we as divine human beings too comfortable even in bad situations? Comfort is the enemy of change, and we can become too comfortable in our present situation if it was meant to be temporary. We often resist the impulse to make a change, but yet change is the one constant that we can be absolutely sure of. Oftentimes a crisis dramatically forces that change upon us. It’s usually painful and never pleasant, but if accepted, it is ultimately healing and almost always beneficial to us. The law of change works to our advantage when we understand it and flow with what is meant to happen. Come tune-in and listen to coach KA as he explains what this law is and what can cause change to occur even if we don’t like it. Universal law is divinely orchestrated to assist us on our journey of soul evolution.
Do you know the truer something is to itself the higher the vibration is? According to Dictionary.com “A vibration is a state of being, the atmosphere of a place, or the associations of an object, as communicated to and felt by others”. How are you vibrating right now? Do you think the world is vibrating at a high level? Everything in the universe is made up of molecules vibrating at different speeds. This includes trees, bodies, rocks, animals, thoughts, and emotions. Human vibrations are composed of everything from physical matter to the way you communicate the thoughts you think. In simple terms, some molecules vibrate faster, and some vibrate slower; there are higher vibrations and lower vibrations. Come tune in to Coach KA as he explores the idea of how we can vibrate higher in such a world full of ups, downs and twists and turns. You are more powerful than you think when you begin to go deeper into the truth of who you are.
Most of us know that there are no accidents; that an accident is a lack of understanding of natural law. When I consider the law of freedom, I think freedom and law are not typically words that one would consider the same. When I think of law, I think of rules and regulations: restrictions, limitations and preventiveness. On the contrary, when I hear the word freedom, I envision myself in a wide-open field with my arms stretched high and enjoying the moment with endless possibilities. We cannot fully enjoy freedom until we understand the law that governs it. For when we understand the law that governs anything, it is the first step in gaining power over it to experience the subject that it’s governing. In this episode come explore with coach KA the “The Law of Freedom” and see if you can answer the question 'What are you doing with the law that you are’? You are more powerful than you think.
Getting our power back is a process that we have to make part of our daily life. Before you can effectively get your power back, you have to realize that you no longer have all of your power and make the decision to gain it back. This is not to say none of us have our power because that is not true, however it’s to say if you ever felt stuck, anxious, depressed and even fearful at times there’s a part of you that may have lost it’s power to thrive in your environment. Sometimes you can get trapped in your own negative way of thinking.
In a Psychology Today, Dr. Melanie Greenberg discusses three common thinking patterns, but here is two of them:
- Negative Rumination: Continuously focusing on negative outcomes that can lead to feelings of being discouraged, stuck, and even depressed.
- Overthinking: Trying to think of and plan for every possible scenario, essentially attempting to control that which is out of your control, in an effort to avoid any pain or disappointment.
Come tune in to today’s podcast as coach KA takes us on a journey of getting our power back despite the odds that maybe against us. May we reclaim our power and use it to create healing and beauty in the world we are living in today.

Rumi once said that “The wound is the place where the light enters you”. With that said often times the strongest and most passionate loving people have gone through the most hate, evil and suffering one can go through. On the other hand, people who haven’t really suffered tend to be shallow or even superficial at times. Being as though this is black history month coach KA wanted to shed light on examining our identity from the inside out by understanding that we can feel our pain and grow from the past. Life was never meant for a group or race of people to remain at the bottom of any system or scheme. There’s much healing and work that needs to get done, but realize before we can SEE properly, we must FIRST shed our own tears individually and collectively to clear the way for answers to be more obvious. Tune in and listen to coach KA as he shares his heartfelt message on “Being Pushed by Pain to Change Part II”.

According to Gerald Fishkin, a California-based psychologist and author of The Science of Shame, the experience of shame is connected with the limbic system. That’s the part of the brain that influences the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for the fight-or-flight response. Scientific research also links shame with the physiological urge for self-protection: The experience of shame recruits the same brain circuits that prompt people to hide from physical danger. “Shame isn’t associated with cognition at all. At the precise moment shame is triggered, we are emotionally hijacked, and there’s no prefrontal activity,” Fishkin says. “We automatically want to be anonymous and invisible.” So we end up staying in fight-or-flight mode as a way to protect ourselves, and the cycle continues. Today coach KA is going to share with us the 3 paradox of Shame according to the book “The Science of Shame” and see what solutions we have that we can use to overcome the grip of shame.
Have you ever felt betrayed before? How did it make you feel? Betrayal's root is betray, which comes from the Middle English wordbitrayen — meaning "mislead, deceive." Betrayal has to do with destroying someone's trust, possibly by lying and more. There’re all kinds of betrayal. From friendship betrayal to romantic betrayal to marriage betrayal to family betrayal and the list goes on, however betrayal hits differently when your in an intimate relationship with someone. Rather sexually or mentally or both, often times when betrayal happens it can immobilize you both in body and mind. There’s life after betrayal, but too often the incident is so traumatic it can take years or a life time to get over it and some would rather buried it because it’s to much to handle. Come listen in with Coach KA as he explains what “The Duality of Betrayal” is and what you can do to begin the healing process for your soul to live an abundant life in its natural state of happiness and peace.
Have you ever seen the painting “The Last Supper” by Leonardo Da Vinci?If so, did you see the yellow sun globe around Jesus head? Did you ever depict what it meant on a deeper level? You see a lot of the stories in the bible are meant for allegory and metaphors as it was meant for a deeper truth. For example back in ancient days the Egyptians gave the name Neter to the great and supreme Force of all, the “One God,” the source of all Creation, all that is and all that shall be. They felt that to know this one God was to know the many faces, qualities, and attributes of this sacred source, and the more they learned of these faces, the closer they got to the divine origin. From the Neter emerge the Neteru, there are countless Neteru, so from the One come the many. These Neteru are Cosmic principles, laws, and forces of Universal Nature and the Consciousness that permeate the whole universe. They are the means by which the Neter sustains creation and manifests through it. You and I are a part of God’s creation. How we express ourselves are different, but nonetheless a part of the many faces of the source of all creation. The ancient Egyptian people reasoned that no one on Earth could ever lay claim of ownership to the Great Orbit of the Day. It must belong to the unseen Creator of all. It became, figuratively speaking, not man’s, but “God’s Sun”. God’s Sun was truly the light of the world. Come listen in and find out if “God’s Son is God’s Sun” allegorically and see if there’s any expression of truth figuratively for us to live by today.
In the United States, the most iconic New Year’s tradition is the dropping of a giant ball in New York City’s Times Square at the stroke of midnight. Millions of people around the world watch the event, which has taken place almost every year since 1907.
The year 2022 was a distressing year in terms of ‘sudden deaths’ in the United States and around the world. As we move into Universal Year 7-- 2023, we set a different tone for the world. Numerologists believe that numbers are not just tools to count things, but they also have a special symbolic meaning. It’s also the study of the spiritual meaning of numbers that gives further insight to each number. With this being a Universal 7 year, the number 7 has many meanings associated with it. The number 7 has a driving desire for spiritual wisdom and knowledge. In ancient Egypt there were seven paths to heaven and seven heavenly cows; Osiris led his father through seven halls of the underworld. The seven deadly sins are well-known in Christian tradition. Come tap in and listen to coach KA as he speaks on “Minding your business in 2023” as it’s all about knowing yourself on a deeper level including your health and knowing the world you are living in today.
Greetings my fellow podcast listeners. I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful holiday season! I'm taking a 2 week break to regroup, focus and set some more goals for the year ahead. I look forward to bringing more insights to my listeners along with adding in some interviews and guest speakers in 2023. For the time being here is a very nice meditative audio to check out until I return on Friday January 13th, 2023 by master Mitchell Gibson.
Until then Happy New Year as the best is yet to come.

Could spending times in complete silence, i.e. not speaking to anyone for 30 minutes or an hour or so, help us to learn how to speak better? Meaning to have greater understanding on when to speak out and when to be silent when amongst others. Silence & Solitude are often listed together probably because it's difficult to do one without doing the other. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines the two as follows.
Silence = the forbearance of speech or noise; synonym = muteness. Solitude = the quality or state of being alone or remote from society; synonym = seclusion.
With that definition in mind in the book of Ecclesiastes 3:7b – it said that there is “a time to be silent and a time to speak”. Have you ever found yourself speaking out about things that you wish you could take back? There is a law or principle of Silence that allows individuals or creatures the space, peace, and time to rest and recuperate from the noises and chattering outside. The silence is found within the SOUL. Come join me and listen in on this week’s episode as I share with you what the law or principle of Silence is and how you can apply the law to your life to change your life from the inside out.
Correction on me saying once during the episode that it’s the year 2020, but indeed the year 2022 during this recording. 😊
Have you ever tried to achieve a goal only to sabotage yourself at every turn? Have you ever been there before? If you’re not where you want to be in life, no matter how much willpower you’ve applied, chances are you have subconscious programs keeping you firmly in place. The subconscious, in a fearless effort try to keep you safe and in alignment with its holdings, is resistant to change. Even when the possibility of change feels consciously good, the subconscious is probably devising crazy ways to keep you firmly rooted in the known. Our subconscious mind is a powerful force to be reckoned with. It makes up around 95% of your brain power and handles everything your body needs to function properly, from eating and breathing to digesting and making memories. Today let’s explore and discuss a little bit about “The Law of The Sub-Conscious Mind”. Let’s discover what it is and how the world we live in is using the law to program us every day to do what it wants us to do and lets find out how to take our power back as well. Never assume you are only what you think you are. You are more than that.
Why are some people more religious than others? For some it could be their upbringing and culture and for others it can be forced upon them. While the influences are many, new research suggests that whether we believe may also have to do with how much we rely on our own intuitions versus analytical thinking. Although some people hold religion in a positive light and have faith just to believe, I’ve learned that religion could also be a double-edged sword. People who violate religious norms may experience feelings of guilt or shame, or they may fear punishment from God. Is it possible that religion is not telling us the full truth about the Bible? Is it possible that religion was never meant to free us mentally, emotionally, or spiritually? Is religion trying to control the narrative of how we see life and the world we are living in? I see a lot of the younger generation questioning things more than the former generations and for me that’s a good sign that they want answers. Come explore with me the question “Can Religion Control Your Thinking” and come to your own conclusion of the matter.
The word religion comes from Latin and while there are a few different translations, the most prevalent roots take you back to the Latin word “Re-Ligare”. “Ligare” means “to bind” or to “connect”. Adding the “re” before “Ligare” causes the word to mean “Re-Bind” or “Re-Connect”. Should we Re-Bind or Re-connect ourselves back to other being’s perspective on life and on who God is? The Iron Age was a time of rampant superstition, ignorance, inequality, racism, misogyny, and violence. Also, in the bible slavery had God’s sanction. Women and children were literally possessions of men. Should we not question those old beliefs? Should we not question the bible God and ask those tough questions? I’ve learned that religion divides insiders from outsiders. Rather than assuming good intentions, adherents often are taught to treat outsiders that don’t believe what they believe with suspicion and not through the eyes of love. Come explore with me the question “Can Religion Cause More Harm Than Good in The Name of God” and come to your own conclusion if it’s something we should just believe or should we examine, investigate, research, reconsider and discover the truth of who we are and the planet we are living in.

I’m a very fortunate person to have lived long enough and well enough to see a great desire of mine fulfilled. I’m an avid researcher, seeker of truth, thirsty for spiritual knowledge and knowledge of self. My background came from being raise in Christianity, however I always felt since I was a little child that there was more to spirituality than what Christianity was telling me. Understanding the science of numbers and astrology I’m considered a number 7 based on the timing of my birth. Those of us who are born with the vibration of number 7 are both deep and wise. We are not satisfied with simple explanations and surface level information. We know that the real gold is buried deeper and won't stop until we find what we are looking for and then we’ll keep digging for more if necessary. Asking questions, researching, listening, and sensing are all special skills the 7 uses in our search for awareness. With that said I wanted a new experience, and I found an Africa tradition that I wanted to explore their perspective on spirituality and how to understand myself on a deeper level. Come listen in on this episode as I share some insight on my experience from going to Port Antonio, Jamaica for my birthday to becoming initiated as an Inyanga (level one – Inyanga is a traditional healer, especially one who uses herbal medicines) in pursuit of becoming a Sangoma Healer in the Zulu tradition.
Greetings podcast listeners. I will be taking a break this week due to spending some time in Port Antonio, Jamaica for my birthday on November 14th and handling other important matters. We will reconvene next week on Friday November 25th 2022. I look forward to the next episode talking about my experience in Jamaica. Until then continue to be great and here is an audio file you can listen to start your week off with prayer & meditation.

There are so many ways to explain or look at what enlightenment is. Gautama Buddha once said that it’s the end of suffering. Enlightenment can also be defined as the experience that you’re not separate from God, you’re one with God.
Merriam-Webster - Definition of enlightened
1: freed from ignorance and misinformation
Nobody can know what spiritual enlightenment is until they attain enlightenment, however one of the most popular benefits of meditation is that it helps the person to reach a stage called enlightenment, described as a clarity of thinking allowing deeper levels of knowledge, perception, and purpose. When it comes to every day thinking if your stressed out not only will stress affect your health it also negatively impacts your ability to think clearly. Have you ever tried to read a book, make music, create something, or study while under stress? Stress, anxiety, and fear cause us to continually focus on ourselves and our own issues making focusing on positive change nearly impossible. So, can anyone become enlightened? When you uncover this True mind within, pain, worry and stress disappear, you can know the ways of the world, and live well with a balance mind. Listen in while Coach KA shares on his experience towards spiritual enlightenment from religion to self-discovery of the Kingdom of God within. The age of enlightenment is upon us and it’s here to show us who we really are.
Nikola Tesla once said that, “If you want to understand the universe think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
The third of the 7 universal laws tell us that “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates”. Science has confirmed that everything in the universe, including you, is pure energy/spirit vibrating at different frequencies. Every vibration equals a feeling and in the vibrational world, there are only two kinds of vibrations, positive and negative. For example, it is known that emotions and thoughts carry with them a distinct vibration. Depending on what you are thinking will determine the level of positive and negative feelings you may have. Emotions and thoughts of unconditional love are subtle and vibrate the highest. Thoughts and emotions of hate are denser and vibrate at the lowest frequencies. This universal law provides a window into the millions of degrees of vibration that separate matter, energy, and spirit. It is said that once a student fully understands the principle of vibration, they have grasped the scepter of power. Come explorer with Coach KA 7 things that can affect your vibration and what can help raise your vibration to the next level.
Maya Angelou once said that "You can only become great at that thing you’re willing to sacrifice for."
Are we actually afraid of our own potential for greatness? What if you could become the greatest version of yourself? What if we all personally dared to follow our own spiritual paths without fearing the judgment of others urging us to return to the masses?
Today’s topic is urging us not to be afraid to be different. Many are afraid of losing the comfort of the crowd, where we can feel safe and “secure” of our decisions. Many are afraid of the ridicule that comes with daring to stand out, and of the potential fear of failure and on the contrary, some are afraid to succeed because of the responsibility that comes with success.
If we want to achieve GREATNESS in life and reach our full God potential, one thing is for certain: We have to move past any fear, worry or doubt that may arise and take action anyways!! Fear doesn’t want you to do anything. It wants you to appear to be busy, but busy going nowhere. Fear and mediocrity go hand in hand. Don't let them defeat you.
We all have the chance to become something great. Do not allow the crab in the bucket mentality to pull you down to a low frequency but tune into the episode and hear coach KA as he shares with you 7 Habits, he uses to help unlock your own GREATNESS inside of you.
The truth be told, the inner self is a truth seeker. The inner journey is a path that is a long and challenging path of entering into the eternal paradox that exists between your ego and your soul. The outer you is driven by the personal illusions we all create for ourselves, illusions we will do anything to maintain, especially if you have religious beliefs. The outer you fear looking at the truth whereas the inner you cannot rest until it sees the truth. When you enter into the inner journey and you return to your ordinary five sensory world, you will see it for what it is: illusions built upon temporary illusions. Then how will you now exist in a world that you so clearly understand to be driven by fear? No guru is going to save you. Reading about Jesus, Krishna or Lao Tzu is one thing, but following their examples and living your own life is another. Come join Coach KA as he shares in his personal experience in how he had to learn how to overcome his dark night of the soul along with understanding that a spiritual awakening comes with friction and separation from close friends and family alike, but the journey is a journey that is liberating to the soul.

Religion, more than politics and economics, kills and cripples’ human evolution. More human beings have been murdered, tortured, discriminated against, humiliated, hated on, and even scorned because of religion. It’s not to say some individuals haven’t grown or benefitted from religion, but it’s to say looking at the bigger picture it was never meant to free humanity. If anything, it divides us because it never tells you the full story. Nonetheless one thing the rulers of this world couldn’t take away was God within ourselves. That's the spark that has us here, however having a pulse is one thing and having an awakening of the God impulse is another. There’s an ancient saying that says “For many are called, but few are chosen – Matt 22:14.” Since nobody can kill God there’s an invite that is transmitted within yourself, but for some reason only a few answer the invitation. There’s a reason why. Let’s explore why with Coach KA - "The God Impulse" awaits you.

Come explore with me the "Keys To Loving Yourself"firstand make peace with anything that causes you self doubt or worry. Never assume you are only what you think you are. You are more than that.
Do you know if you’re spiritually maturing or not? Do you get angry easily? Do you have self-control issues? Do you complain all the time? Have you been spiritual abused by religious leaders or leaders alike? Many of life’s implosions and explosions happen because you have learned to dismiss your own heart. In today’s episode we will talk about 7 ways to know if you’re NOT growing spiritually. There are more ways to know if you’re not growing, but I chosen these 7 ways because their common issues that can cause any of us to be stagnated in our development in growing and evolve into human beings. Without growth how will you ever know why you’re here? Growth is the process and everything else is secondary. It may not always feel good, but it’s worth the journey into self-discovery.
If you're like most people, you probably associate courage with fearlessness, but that is not always the case. In fact, courage is taking action in spite of the fear you may feel. There are many people who have a fear to succeed than they do of failure, however it still takes courage to succeed. Being courageous can make you more successful in life because you're more likely to pursue your dreams, goals and seize opportunities as they present themselves. Both failure and success are teachers of life. You never really lose, but you can always learn from both sides of the spectrum. Both start in the mind, but as you embrace courage and incorporating it into your life you can increase your sense of happiness and fulfillment. The ancient text once said, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverb 23:7a).
Have the thought every occurred to you that you have been lied to for just about everything in the world we are living in? They lied to us about sex, food, religion, school, politics, our bodies, God, history, and the list goes on.

Coach Ka wants you to know that out of all the lies being said about you and the world we are living in today that YOU MATTER!

Nonetheless you’d probably be thankful for the heads-up if you were about to head into an appointment or meeting. Now imagine that situation, but with higher stakes, like your attitude at work or the way you behave with your spouse, partner, or friends alike.

Why do nice guys finish last? If you are a guy, do you lose several casual romantic relationships because you are perceived as feminine? Though several studies point to women’s discrepancy and inconsistency in choosing the nice and considerate guy for the bad boy; many more conclude that for keeps; they always end up with the nice person.
I have always seen that as the goal as lessons about life, love, self, kindness and goodness will be learnt. It seems that nice people don’t get the reward of what they want because they are seen as doormats but not all of them are. People can be nice, but also set boundaries as I have seen this in both genders exhibit this. The key is to know your worth and set boundaries as needed. You really don’t need to compromise your values to please others; kindness gets noticed by others who has a soul and gets rewarded accordingly.
