Three Things for ”Good Energy”!

November 26, 2015 by Karen Leave a Comment

Conserving Your Personal Energy

Every day we’re barraged with what doesn’t work. With what is going wrong. Or threatening to go wrong.

Once upon a cave, noticing “the negative” was an important proclivity, but now that we’ve moved out of ‘fight or flight’ survival, we are relying on our attitudes more to create our lives. To do that, we need to constantly modulate our attitudes so we keep our energy flowing and positive.

Here is a short video by Martin Seligman, the author of many books on Optimism and happiness, that describes a great new energy modulating habit that will help you keep your energy vibrant and alive.

ENERGY OFFER!

But just before we get to the video, I want to tell you about something that might interest you. As most of you know, I just finished the “Manage Your Energy, Master Your Life” Telesummit which was fantastic. At the end of it, I offered an hour long individual coaching session that I titled, “Your Ultimate Energy” at a reduced price for those that wanted to do more individual work with me. .

During this 1-to-1 session, I used a process called “Inner Relationship Focusing” to help people attune deeply to their own energy centres and overall energy field. It was exciting to me to guide people to experience for themselves the strengths and weaknesses of each of their energy centres or chakras, as well as explore areas that were stagnant, blocked or leaking energy. Once we had a deeper sense of what was going on, I gave them tools for deeply listening and healing their own energy.

The sessions were awesome to do and I got GREAT feedback about them! Now I want to give you, my faithful readers, the same opportunity to experience this, at the same reduced offer,  if you want to. So, here’s the deal: One hour long 1-to-1 session for what I think is an incredible rate–$55. You can take me up on this offer even if you’re currently one of my clients, BUT, I’m only making this offer to 10 people so if you’re interested, don’t sit on your hands!

That’s it! Master YOUR energy so you can create what YOU want in 2012~ Here’s a video that will help you do that!

From Clutter to Order!

November 14, 2015 by Karen Leave a Comment

‘Energy’ always tells the truth. That’s why I think you can tell a LOT about someone if you visit their house. Or ride in their car. I don’t want to get judgmental about how someone tends to the space around them, but I will ask you this: Does your environment support clarity, ease of use and management? Does it make you feel GREAT to be in it?

Or, does it not do these things. If it doesn’t, you’re in luck, because tonight, at the “Manage Your Energy, Master Your Life” TeleSummit, Alison Marks is s presenting “How to Energize Your Space to Optimize your Health, Wealth and Relationships!”

Alison is THE De-clutter Queen, so if you’d like to create spaces that support your wellbeing more fully, join us. When it comes to this topic, she’s the best!

It’s tonight at 5 Pacific, 8 EST and you can join by webcast:

Or, you can phone in: 206-402-0100 Pin: 908763#

See you there!

It’s all accessible by phone or webcast and whether you listen to 1 or many –they’re all free. Replays will be available for 48 hours at no cost.

During the 7 weeks, these 14 highly-focused “Energy” Experts will:

Happiness Right Now!

July 16, 2015 by Karen Leave a Comment

Happiness and Big Things:

We tend to think happiness is found in the BIG things, the right job, the wonderful relationship, ect, but in my experience, this isn’t true. For the most part, happiness is a very momentary thing and can often be found in the small, almost inconsequential minutia of life. If we understand this, we can make small behaviour changes and bring lovely feelings of happiness into our lives on a far more regular basis.

Where Does Happiness Come From?


Most of our happiness and well being comes through our senses, so that’s the place to start. Usually, there are all kinds of things that are pleasing to our senses at any given time. See if that’s true for you right now. Take a moment to sniff the air,  or feel it on your skin. Or look out the window and notice the colours or the beauty of some natural object.  Or, think of someone you love and feel the swell of your heart.

Look for What’s Pleasing!


If you take the time to look for small things that make you happy, you’ll find the need to pursue the bigger pleasures becomes less important. This is good for the bigger pleasures can take more time to create and meanwhile, there is such a plethora of deliciousness that life offers us each and every moment, why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of that?

A Happiness Challenge!


Take a moment to look around you right now. Find one or two things that are really pleasing. Now focus on those things. Really take in whatever is wonderful about them. Imagine yourself filling up your body with the happiness these pleasures bring.

Now notice if you feel different!

Thought so!

Here’s a lovely video to watch. Lots of wisdom here!
Also, please pass this newsletter on to anyone you think would benefit! Thanks!

Busyness!

June 6, 2015 by Karen Leave a Comment

The Badge of Busyness

Below is a poem about Busyness by coach, Christine Arylo. Although the poem is for women, both genders fall under the whip of the task-master’s ‘To Do’ list. Don’t get me wrong, it’s important to get things done, but it’s also important not to. In other words, we need to keep a balance between the part of us that wants to DO and the part of us that wants to BE!

That’s why at the top of my page in the morning, ABOVE my ‘To Do’ list is my ‘To Be’ list. Yes, I want to get things done, but I am old enough and wise enough to know that the ‘To Do’ list is endless and that accomplishing what’s on it may feel good, but it’s not the kind of deep, soulful feeling good that I choose to make my life about. Also, it reminds me that even when I’m attending to my ‘To Do’ list, I can do it in a way that honours my beingness. In other words, I can get things done without busyness. Busyness presumes preoccupation and I can’t experience life fully when I’m preoccupied.

Beingness versus Busyness:

What feels good, good deep down, is when I move through my days with certain beingness qualities. For me, one of the most important ones is ‘being spacious’. When I am being spacious, I give myself time, give myself room, the room to experience the juiciness of the world and not miss it. When I do this, I usually find myself taking a deep breath and noticing the exquisite beauty of something in the world around me. Often I feel an immediate sense of happiness. I am out of my head and out of the contraction that busyness likes to create and into the present moment, which is the only place I can truly experience life. And, even if I carry on with my To Do list, I can do it with a sense of spaciousness. That, to me, is mastery!

Here’s the poem.

We Burn Our Badges of Busyness:

What are we teaching our girls?

You can be anything.
You can do anything.
You can have anything.

Now get going.

There is much to do.
So much that you will never feel like you’ve done it all.

Allow me to introduce you to your new lifetime companion
Her name is “To-Do List”

She will follow you everywhere from now on
She will be there to greet you when you wake
She will hang out near you all day long
And she will be there when you lay your head down to rest
Making sure that you don’t forget her, even as you try to sleep

You will learn to wear her as a badge of honor
This flashing symbol of busy-ness
She thrives on attention,
lives for compliments,
She seeks out acknowledgments of her busyness,
and ability to ‘get it all done’
without a sweat, and with a smile

She is not stingy
She loves to share accolades with her sister super women
Swooning and commenting on their multi-tasking feats
As if their doingness was the latest, most fabulous, all-the-rage hat

Some days you will be tired
And will want to set down the to dos
Take a break from your badge,
Whose weight you notice has become quiet heavy

You will try to unpin it
Pull it, tear it, yank it,
But no matter how hard you try
Your badge of busyness
Will not budge

Your to-do list
Doesn’t take kindly to being set down
Or Forgotten
She is fiercely intent on
Staying alive
Remaining on center stage
Where she can always be seen

What they (we) didn’t tell you
When you accepted your to-do list as a rite of passage
And fashioned on your badge with pride
Was that try as you might
When you tire
No matter how hard you try
You can’t hide
You can’t run
You can’t even pin that relentless list on some other unsuspecting soul

But YOU can choose

Girl, woman, sister
You have a choice to NEVER pick up
This badge of busyness
You have the choice to walk away and NEVER look back
Not because you stop doing and achieving
Which I know is one of your (my) greatest, unspoken fears
But because you know that you don’t need a
Badge of busyness or a never-ending list of to-dos
To prove your worth

Stand tall
Turn on your heel now
Do not follow us
A generation of women who unknowningly ran down the aisle
To marry busy-ness
And ended up with a sense of self
Tied to ‘what I’ve accomplished and gotten done in a day”

Turn away
Run away
And change your sense of self
for the good
of us all

As you turn away
We will burn our badges
And together we will change
The decree of women forever

“Yes I can do anything.”
“Yes I can be anything.”
“Yes I can have anything.”

BUT NO … I DON’T NEED TO DO BE AND HAVE EVERYTHING

I am valuable simply because I am
Even if I never pick up another to do
Even when I am doing nothing
Especially when I am just being
I am worthy

Because I know the truth

I am enough
Simply because I am

And so are you.

Mother.
Sister.
Daughter.
Woman.
