The book Practical Enlightenment debunks the myth that enlightenment takes years of hard work to achieve and offers a practical, effortless approach for living an enlightened life - right here, right now. Practical Enlightenment is currently available on Amazon.com in both print and Kindle formats.

The Kanes share the principles and wisdom from their award-winning book each week in their Internet radio show Being Here, one of the top-rated shows on the 7th Wave Channel of the VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network. Being Here airs Wednesdays at 9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET and is also available online for streaming and download.

Through humorous, down-to-earth stories of real people in real life situations, the Kanes illustrate how to access and live in the current moment - where stress, worry and anxiety dissolve and productivity, satisfaction and fun become the new norm. Ariel & Shya first experienced it for themselves in 1987 when, after years of diligently striving to improve their lives, they spontaneously experienced a profound and fundamental shift. They fell into the current moment, which sparked a new way of living - directly, in this moment of now, without stress, worry or guilt. They have been living this lifestyle and sharing it with others ever since.

Legacy hosts on VoiceAmerica's 7th Wave Channel, Ariel & Shya Kane have hosted Being Here for almost 9 years, recording over 400 episodes, all of which are archived and available to stream or download. It continues to be one of the top-rated shows on the 7th Wave Channel, part of the VoiceAmerica Network, the largest producer of live Internet talk radio in the world.

The Kanes also lead highly-acclaimed transformational seminars in New York, Germany, England and Costa Rica.

Through the Kanes' approach, millions around the world are experiencing a profound shift in the quality of their lives and have discovered how to be productive, effective and satisfied on a day-to-day basis.
