April, Spring in full Bloom!
“The Master sees things as they are without trying to control them. She lets them go their own way and resides at the center of the circle” Lao Tzu
We can all see the beauty and the perfection in every moment no matter what is actually happening, but it is a choice. The choice is to remember that everything is happening for a reason and it is to bring us to a higher awareness. When we choose to see the perfection we can then transfer the illusion of anything being negative in our lives into a gift of life experience that will bring us a gift.
When we expand ourselves to see with a different perspective how everything fits together in this beautiful tapestry and how we draw experience to us with our thoughts and our emotions we then truly receive and live on a different level of awareness. The saying “it is not about the destination, it is about the journey” takes on new clarity.
When we live on this level we come to completion with the lesson quickly and the illusion dissipates from the roaring lion into a fluffy cat waiting to be stroked! The pain disappears and the joy returns. Our ability to love what is equals our freedom. This might sounds esoteric or like hard work to raise our consciousness to this level yet I watch it unfold every week in breath work. We can suddenly and instantly get to the other side of understanding and pain all we need to do is be willing.
Just by offering up your willingness to let go or to change your being, your consciousness is transformed. We live in a time when we want things instantly, even healing. Now it exists as it doesn’t take ten to twenty years of therapy to understand and heal emotionally there can be change in moments. Emotions released that we have carried for years. We live in that advanced time.
We get there together realizing we are all beautiful facets of the same diamond, brilliant because of our unity and our uniqueness!
Be your brilliant self, shine brightly for all to see and you raise the world! Imagine who you are without all the pain and fear we carry around.
“Come to the edge,” he said, “we are afraid,” they said. “Come to the edge,” he said. They came, he pushed them and they flew. Apollinaire
Come Fly!!
Sending love and light

Quote of the Week
“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, some day far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Spring Awakening
April 9, 2008
Hello to each one of you,
Spring, a time of awakening!
"And though we seem to be sleeping there is an inner wakefulness that doubts the dream and that will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are" Rumi
I love the power of breath work! I watched all the faces in Monday’s class become soft and they were lit from within and I could see all the beauty in each being. Their true self was completely present without fear, open and all knowing, feeling loved and safe and completely expanded. Have you ever seen such beauty in one being? There it was and I was able to be still and enjoy and feel so filled with love and gratitude. This is the way we were meant to live here, but we often forget.
We get caught up in the illusion of the stuff, the job, the relationship, the house the car the kids and we forget our soul is truly here for its own joy so where is that joy? It is in each precious moment we are awake, truly awake and looking around us and witnessing the beauty. Step out of the tornado and appreciate all that is truly there for you right here and now. Look with refreshed eyes and see anew with the wonder of a child! Just show up without expectations and see what happens in that moment, a gift you could not have imagined!
Allow yourself to receive, right here and now be still, breath and chant "thank you" for five minutes and witness how you begin to feel. Remember you are the light, you are the love, it is where you came from. Remember again your truth!
Be free!
look for the schedule of classes for breath and EFT sessions, I am thrilled to share I am having my book What Would Love Do Now? translated into Spanish. I will let you know when it is completed and ready for reading!

Karen

Why is love so hard?
March 27, 2008
Spring, a beautiful time to renew!
"What barrier is there that love cannot break? Mahatma Gandhi
I speak tremendously on the subject of love in my work with people. Why is it that we often feel so contracted as though the love is really hard to create or give and receive? How did it become so hard to truly create loving relationships? Well the answer is FEAR. We have been living in fear that we are not loved or that our love will not be accepted. This makes us contracted and then we try less and less to really connect with those around us because we are afraid of the reaction we might get. The answer is to realize the truth again. We are the love we seek each and every one of us is. So if we then truly believe this and know we are filled with love, we are loved and we ARE LOVE itself how can we then touch others with this love? What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
Try approaching your mate, parenting partner, kids, friends and co-workers with this approach of being the love rather than expecting the love. Remember that every person you come into contact with needs three things to be well, to be loved, to be valued and to feel like they belong. Imagine what it would be like to know you changed someone's whole day perhaps their whole view of themselves by just touching their hearts in a loving way without any expectation that that love comes back to you, just for free and for fun! See how many you can touch in a day and then notice how your day is the best day you've ever lived!!
Please look for the article in Bellissima Magazine about the breath and how we can direct it for our emotional/physical and spiritual health. www.bellissimasandiego.com a wonderful magazine with great information about health and well being in San Diego, written by San Diegans.
Choose to be your highest self all day and watch how your day unfolds with joy, love, ease and grace. You will find there really is no other way to live. Remember who you are and where you came from!!

Oh the Pain!
March 17, 2008
Happy Spring!
"and though we seem to be sleeping there is an inner wakefulness that doubts the dream and will eventually startle us back to the truth of who we are" Rumi
Sometimes it is the pain that startles us back to who we are. The pain gets our attention and that is the point at which we can begin to be aware and then make changes in our lives. Sometimes we have been living in a way that doesn't feel good to us because it has become a habit, an old learned way of getting love and yet the love we are getting doesn't feel good. How did it become so complicated?
This is the time to make it less complicated and get back to the truth of who we are and that truth of relationships and how they serve us to bring us back to ourselves. Gratitude is the key to receiving the gift of those who help bring us back. Without the gratitude we often get stuck in anger, pain and blame. We can be free of these emotions.
EFT and Breath Class offer immediate freedom from negative emotions that can overwhelm us and take over. Choose freedom and happiness it is your birthright!
"Everything is waiting for you" David Whyte
Please look for Bellissima Magazine, this month's article is on the Breath and how powerful it is in our well being and health. Something that seems so obvious and yet we often deny ourselves breath which is life. Ironic that we do this to ourselves, however we can change this just by becoming conscious of it. Take a deep breath and let go ....

Choose well for yourself as all you owe anyone else is to be well yourself!

Hello to Each of You!
"The soul is the lamp where light is steady, for it burns in a shelter where no winds come" Baghavad Gita
The year of the Rat begins! Higher levels of loving relationships is the energy ushered in by the rat. It is time now to choose love as the direction for thoughts and actions in relationship to those around us. What is your highest vision of yourself? Create your vision and act in alignment with that vision. Then you will truly love yourself. All love stems from self love acting from this connected state!
I will be speaking at Second Saturday at Mira Costa College on March 8th on the psychological, emotional and healing issues of going through divorce. This class offers education for women going through this process on legal, psychological and financial issues. The fee is $45 for a half day educational class. Please share this information with anyone you know going through divorce as nothing challenges us more to show up in our highest vision as going through this process and letting go. You can register at the door that morning!
Please watch for my newest article on Breath and its health and healing benefits in Bellissima Magazine, www.bellissimasandiego.com Do come and breath your way to health and consciousness in breath classes offered every Monday and Friday evening.

The Soul and its Joy
February 20,2008
Hello To Each of You,
"Everything is waiting for you"
David Whyte
Remember that everything is waiting for you, all we have to do is clear the way. I was serving at a retreat last week and holding the space for others to clear their "sticky stuff" the anger, fear and pain that can be the block to receiving all our good. It was an amazing experience. Often we hold onto negative emotions which can then be the focus of our energy. The happiness is diminished, the joy dimmed and before we know it there is only the negative. We can find our way back to our joy, it is our natural state of being as "the soul is here for its own joy" Rumi
All we have to do is let it happen, clear the road way for joy and light. We do this by letting go of the past. Letting go of fear and pain. Forgiveness, compassion and love are the strongest tools to clear the road. Employ them liberally, for free and for fun because you know you are deserving of your joy it is your birthright!
Come breath deeply in breath class and feel your connected state and bring that into your every day life. Remember again the truth of your being! You are loved and you are safe. Breath classes are every Monday and Friday evening and privates held Tuesday-Thursday evenings.
EFT is a powerful tool to release the negative emotions we have carried for a lifetime. It happens instantly and they are gone from our physical and emotional being. Now is the time for the light. We are the light we are not the body. Let's remember our truth together and live awake and aware right here, right now!
I will be presenting at Second Saturday on March 8th at Mira Costa College at 8:30 am. On the psychological, spiritual and healing issues of divorce. Please let anyone you know who may be going through this challenging transition to come to this class and gain some immediate tools for wellness and healing.
Please look for the next issue of Bellissima as I wrote an article on the Breath and how it can create health and well being in our bodies, minds and souls. Something we do every day and yet we can hold our breath, or breath shallowly and deprive our beings of what they most need to live and remember.
Let's create the light together!

The Month of Love
February 2, 2008
Hello and Happy February!
"The soul is a lamp where light is steady, for it burns in a shelter where no winds come" Bhagavad Gita
This is the month of love and yet we have made it commercial with only visions of romantic love. Love is so much more powerful on all levels when we realize we are the love and we radiate it out to others. Often we are fearful that we are not loved, the fear disappears completely when we focus on loving those around us. Make someone's day a true gift by showing them you love them and see their beauty. I promise your day will be the most beautiful as well!
I will be speaking at Second Saturday at Mira Costa College on Sat. February 9th. The class is an educational class for women going through divorce. It is given by Ginita Wall CPA and has been running for 17 years. I will be speaking on the emotional issues faced by women going through this process and focusing on the healing aspects. Please let anyone you know going through this process about this class as it offers helpful information on the legal, financial and psychological issues of becoming a two-home family. Class begins at 8:30 am and you can pay at the door, the fee is $45.
Please read the next issue of Bellissima, my article is on the power of breath and what it can do to keep us healthy and aware in our lives. You can click on www.bellissimasandiego.com and subscribe. This new Magazine offers great information on health and well being in San Diego!!
Please do come to breath class and experience the gift of breath at this level. You will feel lighter, emotionally and physically and release old negative emotions on every level. You will experience an altered state of consciousness which will allow you to see your own life from a more clear perspective! Monday and Friday's classes are open, I will be out of town the following week on retreat.
I look forward to seeing you this month and remember to take a deep breath!
Sending love and light,
Karen
