Catch Up!
Hello All!
The end of summer into Fall transition has found us both very busy with so many things that our entries here have fallen behind—so a quick catch up as we get back on track!
We have been focusing on getting our Twelve Keys for Life and Self Mastery CD and manual program ready for release! We are still editing, but are moving forward looking for a distributor. Very exciting and satisfying to be on this path.
In addition, we have gotten our new Monthly Tips and Survey up on the website and Sept. Newsletter out to you all. Thanks to Jack Donahue for his creativity, photos and technical expertise with the newsletter!! If you like his photos please let him know by posting a comment!
The Living Energy Teleclass will begin on Mon. 9/24. We are really looking forward to being with all who have signed up for the series. We always learn as well as teach in our classes and we thoroughly enjoy spending time with all who join us!
In addition to all that busyness, life has also gone on around us.
I (Karen) would like to share few thoughts in that regard. As some of you are aware, my Dad is in a nursing home and we recently had to move him and place my Mom in Assisted Living since she is developing some issues that require care.
This type of life event is very complex, as many of you are probably painfully aware! The sheer magnitude of the paperwork, physical needs, medical and financial details is astounding. But then there is the complexity of all the layers and levels of the heart and mind that need to be navigated by them, their children and grandchildren.
So, what does that have to do with Living Energy? A LOT! I cannot express enough the gratitude I have in my heart for having been blessed with this work. Had I not had the the learning and development that has found a home in the Living Energy projects, I would not been able to navigate this difficult life stage with the same clarity, strength and compassion (for myself and them!).
Does that mean that it has been without pain, confusion, sadness or anger? Does it mean that I have been the soul of grace throughout all this? Absolutely not.
What it means is that I have had a way to manage stress so it does not topple me. What it means is that I have allowed myself to be human and feel the whole experience, the good, the bad and the ugly. What it means is I have had the means to process, release and come to a higher understanding as a result of using the tools and principles we teach in L.E. AND I must also say, I am grateful to have been blessed with relationships that remind, enrich, enliven and comfort! Thank You!
No doubt conscious creation is a great thing. But there are also other benefits of learning and using the methods we talk so much about. Life happens. Tough situations arise. It is very empowering to know you do not have to be a vicitm through the more difficult transitions.
At one point in this past month my mind was sent back to a piece I had written almost three decades ago at another very difficult life pasage. I’d like to share it with you as it helped me put some perspective on deep and painful emotions. Maybe it can do the same for you when needed. Back then I did have a sense of the impermanence and flow of things, but I lacked the ability to consciously move myself through a painful process in the same way I can now. As I think about all this, I feel so strongly about the need to cultivate and honor an intricate weaving of our natural processes with our higher awareness.
It is from a higher awareness that we can guide a difficult passage and not be in frozen denial, overwhelm or rigid control. My experience is that these abilities emerge as a result of the practice, growth and deep inner development not as a result of having them as goals!
Life Cycles
Waves wash up on the shoreline,
Softly caressing the sand.
Water gently creates contours,
Sandy grooves and mounds add pattern and texture to the land.
The turn of a moment and
Once again waves crash on shore.
Now without discrimination or gentleness,
Destruction and chaos are left in their wake.
The moment turns again,
Dawn breaks.
Morning light seeps in to overtake darkness.
Winds subside.
Nature begins again to slowly, patiently put things to right
