Healer Hubris

It’s been a rough couple of weeks professionally. Here’s what I’ve witnessed: Situation 1 – a friend of a friend described her energy healing training to me. Here’s one major teaching she’s learned and practices: When walking down the street, shopping, hanging out in a park or bowling alley – scan and fix other people’s energy. … Read more

Be Your Own Healer!

Well now, what does that mean, exactly? Is CK advocating that you go back to school and become a doctor, nurse, therapist, psychologist? No. Not really. After all, I’d have to walk that talk, and you wouldn’t catch me spending my precious time that way! CK is advocating taking up your own work within yourself, … Read more

Guilt and the Rabbit Hole

Last week a dear friend was sharing a story with me. As she was talking, she said, ‘I don’t know how I went from guilt to the bottom of the rabbit hole, but that’s what I did.’ She continued on with her story, and I attentively listened.  But that phrase stuck with me.       … Read more

Stuck Sux

It sucks when you’re stuck.  And we’ve all been there. Bogged down. Effort & Pushing. Ennui & Passivity. Doesn’t matter. Stuck. Yet all of us have gotten unstuck. Moving. In flow. Praise be! What’s the formula for going from stuck to flow? Releasing attachment. Hanging a tapestry with industrial strength velcro was a simple task. … Read more

Containment

CK’s been thinking about containment lately.  Containing energy, emotion, response, impulse. There’s been a hiatus in the blog; I’ve been containing.  When everything is held close, what is there to say or to share?  It felt aligned to cease writing during my containment. It’s been an interesting and flourishing experience to contain my energy, emotion, … Read more

Whole-ing

What a beautiful word. Whole-ing. It evokes the promise of completion, evolution, new beginnings. Living into a new state of wholeness. Whole-ing also speaks to process; the journey, the ride. I love Whole-ing. CK’s Webster’s: Whole-ing. Verb: A conscious individual’s ongoing creation of experiences cultivating growth, learning, healing. Through Whole-ing, causal energy is articulated, acknowledged … Read more

Manifestation – It’s Not For Sissies

CK doesn’t mean that exactly.  But CK does mean that manifestation is both entirely simple and overwhelmingly complex.  Thus, not for sissies. Simple: Intention + Attention + Energy = Manifestation Simple.  You choose what you want to create (intention).  You put your focus on the desired creation (attention).  You take appropriate steps and actions (energy). … Read more

Intention, Attention: Energy

You know, I’m beginning to think I’m writing a Manifestation Manifesto with this series of posts. First there was Intention: Attention, then there was Attention: Intention. Now we’re focusing on the glue that brings it all together. Energy. Energy is currency – the currency of manifest experience. To create, manifest, make real, energy is an … Read more

Intention: Attention

Yes, there’s more to manifestation and creative collaboration with the Universe than setting an intention. (If you missed last week’s post, you might want to read it first.) An intention is a clear, distinct point of focus. It’s a defining objective around which actions, decisions and attention revolve. Yes, attention. Question: what exactly are you … Read more

Attention: Intention

If energy flows where attention goes, what role does intention play?

Do you attend to what you’d like to create? Or do you attend to what you don’t want to create?

Here’s some things CK’s heard recently from clients and students:

  • I don’t want to work at my dead-end job anymore.
  • I am tired of being broke and having no disposable income.
  • I want to meet someone through online dating who isn’t a loser.
  • I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Yup. Negative intentions. Every last one of them. What’s interesting about this? Each person was sharing what they’re continually creating and DON’T WANT. What’s also interesting? These negative intentions can easily be turned into positive intentions. Like this:

  • I am actively pursuing work opportunities that offer growth, new learning and professional advancement.
  • I generate positive cash flow and savings through effective money management and attention to my finances.
  • I attract people who resonate with me and my interests.
  • I am healthy, vibrant, whole and vital.

Yup. Positive intentions. Every last one of them.

Now, here’s the thing:

You can SAY anything you want – negative or positive. (Really, CK has no ability to change what you say.) BUT YOU CAN. What you SAY makes a difference.

And know this:

Even if you SAY everything in positive, affirmative words, terms and tone, if you BELIEVE something different, your affirmations and intentions are just words.

Dammit, CK! Do you mean to say that I have to pay attention to both what I SAY and what I BELIEVE?

What do you want to create?
What do you want to create?
