Happy Warm and Cozy Winter!
“From within or from behind, a light shines through us and upon things and makes us aware that we are nothing but the light is all” Emerson
Ah the light, something we all want and yet it can be so obscured by our thoughts. These powerful messages sent by the thousands through our minds, unhindered, unbridled thoughts of chaos and mayhem which then lead us down a dreary path! Where did the Light go?
The Light is always present and it is as easy as flicking the switch! The Light can be turned back on by reigning in the thoughts, disciplining them and directing them towards that which supports how we choose to feel. Challenging? Hard? Impossible? Yes, challenging at first, like learning to play the piano or a new language, it takes practice and determination to learn. It requires the willingness to be open to form new sounds with an already formed palate; the willingness to be vulnerable trying and not quite reaching perfection, yet still willing to continue the effort. Why would we do all of this?
The only reason that exists is to reach the Light, to remember we are the Light itself as that is where we came from. How could we be anything else separate from the Light? Yet we forget we play thoughts of unworthiness, of darkness, doubt and fear and suddenly we have forgotten as though we never knew. All it takes to remember again is the choice to redirect the thought to gratitude. When I have entered the darkened domain of fear and doubt through the narrow passageway of my thoughts I choose again and again to redirect with the words “thank you” followed by an absolute list of things I can now flow unreservedly of my truth of experience for which I am grateful. My family, the love I have been able to feel for people who have floated and appeared throughout my life, my home, my work, the joy I feel when I am connected and can feel whenever I choose simply by choosing a thought pattern! Try creating your own pattern of thought towards the Light through GRATITUDE!
This is the ending of one year and the beginning of another. Look at all you have been given in this year both that which created pain and discomfort that brought you to new awareness and that which you have been given that brought the breathlessness of joy and new experiences! Allow yourself to move into this new year of experience by choosing to be connected to your Source by choosing gratitude, love and joy.
This new year is the number 9 which is a number representing completions and/or endings. We are in a time and space to let go of old attachments to come to new understandings of ourselves and life as we have been creating it and allow ourselves to step into a new and deeper connected state of awareness, creating consciously with compassion, love and understanding! This is our time to move forward to a new dimension.
There is a current of energy already in place. What can you do? Just be in flow with what is already. Breathing, meditating, and choosing higher forms of expressions of love is the key to keeping all doors and windows open!
Come breathe and remember again who you are and the Light from which you came!
We will be breathing on New Year’s Eve from 5-7 with a short meditation afterwards. Please let me know if you are choosing to begin your year connected, peaceful and joy filled! Class as usual on Friday 1/2/09 at 6:30! Monday’s class on 1/5 will begin at 5:30 to 7:30!
Sending you love and Light,
Karen

Flowing into Winter, going inward,
“I swear to you there are Divine things more beautiful than words can tell” Walt Whitman
The holidays often evoke a myriad of emotions, some of which can make us feel badly. The reason that we sometimes feel these emotions is that there are so many expectations placed on the holidays. If we watch television there are thousands of images portrayed that give us the impression of how the holidays should look and feel. Suddenly it is there, expectations and our actuality is not meeting the imagery. When we create the expectations we are no longer in the moment. We miss what is truly there for us. We can show up like children again, having joy just with what is. The beautiful simplicity of being in the moment. Practice letting go of expectations and just show up with your love, your joy and let it unfold knowing the Truth! You are safe and you are loved! Be of service as there is no other faster way to joy than helping another!
The focus of holidays long ago was taken from the simplicity and joy of reverence, gratitude and love to an “ism” which is one of the most powerful, “commercialism”. We are being asked to re-create in a different way because the joy, which is our birthright, has been so diminished. It is easier to live in the simplicity and share moments in the sharing of love, friendship and gratitude than it is to chase the imagery! One family decided to write a loving letter to each member of their family to communicate what that person meant in their lives. What a gift of love to receive! Imagine knowing that your life had touched another so deeply just because of who you are, just because of your presence.
You can share this with others here and now. When I am asked “Do you think this gift is enough”? ( perfect, because in the past I asked this question) I always respond with, your true gift is the love imbibed in the gift, the gift is just an extra. Remember how good it feels to know you are loved. It feels that good to others as well. That is the true gift of this season, it is and always has been the love! So gather those around you and hold them close and tell them how you love them! Because when we leave these bodies the one thing that is so important to us is for those around us to know that we loved them. This I learned from my father when he let go of his body. He wouldn’t leave until he had communicated his love for each of us. So share your love now, make sure it is known for there is no other moment than this moment, now.
This season of Winter is a time to go within, the days are shorter, the nights longer and there is opportunity to go deeper inside and connect to that love that always resides within. Often we are outwardly distracted, there is always something we can be “doing”. Yet taking the time, precious time to be still and go inward offers so much more than we ever dreamed of, all the love we ever wanted is there. This season offers that gift, that brightness, that connected state.
We already have it all, to find it, to receive it, all we have to do is be willing to be still, to turn inward and dive deep! Meditation is the key to receiving it all and breaking through the illusions. We are rich beyond measure and the amazing thing is there is always more! More love, more light, more miracles to appear all around you!
Come dive deep and breathe until you remember who you are and where you came from!
I will be offering a breath class early on new years eve from 5-7 followed by a mediation, to begin the new year connected and with love. If you would like to join us, just send a note with your intention to be here.
Breath classes are every Monday and Friday evenings at 6:30!
Sending love and light,
Karen

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
“This now is it. This. Your deepest need and desire is satisfied by the moment’s energy here in your hand” Rumi
How wonderful we have a national day devoted to giving gratitude! We have a wonderful opportunity to go deep inside for just that purpose. Many people consider Thanksgiving to be their favorite holiday as it is not dependent upon any outward display, shopping, gifts, money or imagery but an inward connection to Spirit and coming together in celebration! We celebrate by offering gratitude for our most basic gift of sustanence which supports life, food. We prepare it and share it and enjoy it. We have the opportunity to know what is truly important and realize all the rest is only surface. We have what is truly important and we can share the abundance with those who have less.
This time of change we are going through is offering us the time to go within and see what is truly essential and what we have been seeking outside ourselves to make us happy. It never shows up in the form of “enough” when we seek outside ourselves. The void is always still present and we wonder why. The void is always filled by connecting up and giving gratitude as a way of coming back into Truth. We are safe and we are loved and this under everything else seems to be our biggest fear. This day presents a practice of realizing truth and living in that space rather than the density of fear. We can then practice this every day beginning with gratitude rather than once a year. This practice changes life immediately and deeply.
Choose this day to go inside and see what is truly there for you on this sacred journey. All the people who have come into your life offering the gift of you getting to know yourself better by offering up that mirror image. All the love that has been offered to you, all the opportunity to choose each and every day. We have all been given the greatest gift of Free Will to choose.
Exercise that gift now with choosing gratitude for all that is. Choose gratitude whether you are with others or having a sacred moment to go inside and be with yourself. Choose love whether alone or with others because you can because it feels better than choosing otherwise and you are worthy of the goodness you can feel when you choose higher! This is the gift we give ourself and yet others receive this gift when we shine that energy outward choosing love.
Come breath and connect up choosing health, life and love!
Classes are every Monday and Friday evenings at 6:30!

Happy November, the soft beauty of Fall
Happy November, the soft beauty of Fall,
“Compassionate towards yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world” Lao Tzu
One subject that has come up tremendously lately is the “inner judge”. How often do we put on our heavy black robes and sit up high and reach for the heavy gavel to slap down our judgments upon others? How often does that same inner judge take that action against us?? Whatever is inside us will reflect back outwards to those around us. It cannot be otherwise. This is the moment to understand just how damaging that inner judge can be. How that judge hurts you every day finding you lacking and then finding others lacking, not ok, not worthy, undeserving perhaps even unlovable.
The pain that is created by that inner judge is the pain of separation. Suddenly we feel apart from the love if we judge ourselves. We feel apart from others if we judge them. And then there is the greatest pain, separation from the One. This pain has been experienced by every being at some time or another. It is almost like a death. The pain goes deep and sometimes you find people who have lived a lifetime in this pain. They are closed off, bitter, cold and there are only negative words coming from their lips. The only choice is to fire the inner judge and to choose compassion. When we make this choice we are free, we are in the Unity and we are lifted in that loving choice.
When we retire the judge, come down from our lofty seat up high we are one with everyone. There is no more illusion of being alone. The pain is gone and we are free. This is the time to take off the heavy black robe, set down the gavel and choose the Oneness. The first step is just to notice the judge when he/she pops up and start putting them on notice. They are no longer in charge. You are now directing and choosing from a higher place of connectedness = love, compassion and forgiveness.
One of the most rapid ways of firing the judge and taking back power is to breathe! Once we are in the freed state of breathing fully there is no judgment there is only the soul state of expanded loving consciousness, awake and aware. There is only the journey of the soul to remember again who it is and where it came from. The greatest gift of all is that of free will! We get to exercise this gift every day. We get to choose how we will show up, judging others, criticizing or loving and seeing the beauty joining in the One.
Come breathe and connect to your soul and be free!
Class this Friday will be from 4-6 and normal hours will resume next week for Monday and Friday classes for group at 6:30!

Happy Fall! a time to begin going inside to do the inner work

Happy Fall!, a time to begin going inside to do the inner work
“when the act of reflection takes place in the mind, when we look at ourselves in the light of thought, we discover that our life is embosomed in beauty” Emerson
Sometimes in the present borage of messaging by the media we are caught in the sharp teeth of fear. When that fear grips us we are frozen and it can take over in our thoughts, our emotions and in our behavior. Everything can take a downward turn. Try something new and different, turn off the television, turn off radio, turn off anything which offers a fearful message and go within to create your own message. Play beautiful music in your sanctuary, fill your space with the beauty and peace you choose to embody and live in every day.
The Truth is that Abundance has always existed and will always exist it is just a current of energy and appears and manifest in all forms as we invite it into our lives with our gratitude and our joy. Tap into what is truly here now. It is an opportunity to alter how we have been living for many years, in fear of not enough. Ego driven, “what is there for me”? When we think this level of thought we can create lack; when we think of gratitude for all that is, all that we already have and have been given we are in abundance and feel the joy, the peace and live in the truth. The truth is we need so little to be well but we have created a mass illusion that we need so much then we struggle to support all that “stuff”. We can come back to the simplicity and the peace of knowing abundance and allow ourselves to receive it.
In order to calm the mind we must breathe. Try breathing for 5-10 minutes slowly and deeply inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth while silently repeating “I am safe and I am loved”. You will feel altered after this exercise for only this amount of time and your being will recognize truth. You can begin to play new tapes all day that support this truth with your gratitude leading. You will be out of the illusion of lack and into abundance of joy, love, health and the flow of money. Just allow it to be here within and around you.
A powerful tool to calm the mind and know Truth and create health is Transformational Breath Work. You will be altered in mind, body and soul when you breathe on this level. There is no going back to the old way of creating. Your health will be raised, your mind calmed and quieted and your soul allowed to be in command. Remember your soul, has no fear, knows no lack and is aligned with love and joy. Remember to join again with your own being through breath and meditation.
These are the keys to well being and connection!
Come breathe and be connected, abundant and free!
Sending love and light,
Karen

Looking Anew
September 26, 2008
Hello to Each of You,
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes” Marcel Proust
Can we look again at what is here in our lives? Can we see with new eyes all that we truly have? There is tremendous unrest presently and a feeling of underlying fear of the unknown. But can we look again at what is truly here? Perhaps we can re-examine the idea of enough and play a new tape. “I have enough time, I have enough money, I have an abundance of love”. There is no lack, that is only illusion, yet the more we play that tape in our minds the more we can create what feels like that reality. What are you choosing for your reality?
What if you looked again at love and played the tape I am surrounded by love. Even if it feels like the opposite is true, begin playing this tape and there will be a change. You will begin to feel better, safer, more connected to those around you. You will begin to be more loving and send out that love you seek. The Truth is there is abundance in everything. When we create relationships we often create emotional pain. We begin to fear we are not loved or the love might disappear.
This thought begins to make us contract and we are not fully present in relationship. We don’t trust even those closest to us to love us. We focus on those around us to give us the love we need so we often make ourselves live a certain way to insure we get the love we feel we need. We forget to focus on the first relationship with Self, loving Self and remembering the Truth of our being. We are not these bodies, we are not these thoughts, we are so much more! We are the Light, we come from the Light. How could we be anything less than the Light?
The first relationship begins by going within not seeking outside ourselves. The love is all there. All you ever dreamed of receiving is there within you. Becoming conscious of that love is to go within in the quiet space and reconnect with your Soul-Self. So beautiful, so loving, so perfect, YOU!
Look again with new eyes at you and see all your beauty all your perfection, choose love. I promise there is enough love! Enough of everything all we have to do is begin the practice with our thoughts and it is all there before our eyes!
Come breathe and connect up!!
Sending love and light,
Karen
Ps I will be out of the country until Oct. 5th. Please email in case of important need and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Breath Classes will resume on October 6th at 6:30 pm. I hope to see you here!

Love Is All There Is
September 11, 2008
“Love is the only thing that truly exists, all the rest we make up” Karen Winter
I painted these words and the canvas hangs in my living room where I teach breath class. It is so beautiful to witness people who breathe and after their journey they view this painting as they have before and suddenly they see the words as if they have risen from the depths of the see and they are now revealed! It is us who can now see clearly. The Truth and the words have always been there it is our consciousness which has been altered so we can see clearly all that is really here before us.
Even that which is invisible or intangible is suddenly before us. Magic!
I have had the honor to breathe couples who are choosing to end their present relationship of marriage and witness them both getting to a clearer understanding of the presence of love between them and then the gratitude which floods their being. There is such softness in the room, such Presence and reverence of the gift of relationship and the love that is present. We have greater clarity in our own lives when we breathe. It does not only raise our level of health physically but mentally as well. We are aware on a much deeper level of how others have participated in our lives to teach us more about ourselves. We then can accept the gift and create life on a deeper level.
I recently had an experience with a loving being. She was offering me a gift and in that moment it felt challenging to receive with just a “thank you” I let her know she was pushing all my buttons. What I know is that she was showing up to be my teacher to let me know I had those buttons and then I could decide what to do with them. She was letting me know how well I was doing with the balance of giving and receiving. I know myself better now and I choose to deprogram my receive button. She showed up in that moment as my greatest teacher. I have better awareness. I am in gratitude.
Know that teachers show up in all forms in life, sometimes making us feel fear, anger, resentment, lack, joy, gratitude and all the other possibilities. Whatever that person evokes in you is the gift of more information about yourself. Often we miss the gift and relentless speak of what the other person is doing yet our emotions are our responsibility. Take a sacred moment to breathe deeply, look inside without judgment or blame and see what you can inside yourself. Always remembering you are safe and you are loved. What button is being pushed and how can you reprogram it? what can you let go of to be present and peaceful, healthy and joyful? Its all right here for us. All we have to do is breathe and we will have more answers more peace and more health!
Come breathe and love yourself enough to dive deep inside. The first relationship is with our very own Self!
Sending love and light,
Karen

Even that which is invisible or intangible is suddenly before us. Magic!
I have had the honor to breathe couples who are choosing to end their present relationship of marriage and witness them both getting to a clearer understanding of the presence of love between them and then the gratitude which floods their being. There is such softness in the room, such Presence and reverence of the gift of relationship and the love that is present. We have greater clarity in our own lives when we breathe. It does not only raise our level of health physically but mentally as well. We are aware on a much deeper level of how others have participated in our lives to teach us more about ourselves. We then can accept the gift and create life on a deeper level.
I recently had an experience with a loving being. She was offering me a gift and in that moment it felt challenging to receive with just a “thank you” I let her know she was pushing all my buttons. What I know is that she was showing up to be my teacher to let me know I had those buttons and then I could decide what to do with them. She was letting me know how well I was doing with the balance of giving and receiving. I know myself better now and I choose to deprogram my receive button. She showed up in that moment as my greatest teacher. I have better awareness. I am in gratitude.
Know that teachers show up in all forms in life, sometimes making us feel fear, anger, resentment, lack, joy, gratitude and all the other possibilities. Whatever that person evokes in you is the gift of more information about yourself. Often we miss the gift and relentless speak of what the other person is doing yet our emotions are our responsibility. Take a sacred moment to breathe deeply, look inside without judgment or blame and see what you can inside yourself. Always remembering you are safe and you are loved. What button is being pushed and how can you reprogram it? what can you let go of to be present and peaceful, healthy and joyful? Its all right here for us. All we have to do is breathe and we will have more answers more peace and more health!
Come breathe and love yourself enough to dive deep inside. The first relationship is with our very own Self!
Sending love and light,
