ARTICLES AND INSIGHTS
Ah, expectations. The projection into the future (even a minute from now) that something is going to happen the way you want it to or think it should happen. And then, confound it all, that’s not what occurs. Leaving you disappointed, frustrated, angry and at times, all pouty and self-absorbed. Expectations are certainly a part … Read more
Chakra Khan is on retreat this week. She can be found wandering island trails, swimming in the crystal blue ocean, perhaps even resting pool-side. CK is choosing to retreat and restore and let the blog rest for a week. The post for this week was going to be about Expectation vs. Expectancy. Expectation is wanting … Read more
This past weekend a group of students at EHI’s Energy Awareness training were working with the Clairvoyance System and viewing energy. This particular weekend of EHI’s trainings generates a lot of fascinating dialogue about energy, consciousness, and the individual’s role in manifesting his or her experience. The participants have increased familiarity with one another, as … Read more
I was going to write this blog post last week, but I didn’t get around to it. On the other hand, writing the post this week allows me to get it just right! And as you can imagine, CK does EVERYTHING perfectly. Or maybe not so much. In fact, I had a hilarious (and accurate) … Read more
A recent lesson in attention and energy flow seems worth describing – perhaps a contribution to the discourse on attraction, attention, how energy works. If you’d like the backstory on this post, please see the Chakra Khan post, Messages, Passages, Assimilation. It describes the recent experience I had cleaning out my parent’s house in anticipation … Read more
In the last few months, several of my Energy Healing Institute clients have been through radical reorganizations in their lives. Not teensy transits, or minor kerfuffles that created a need to fluff their aura and regroup. No sirree. We’re talking big changes, lollapaloozers, the big enchildadas – the ones that take cohones to even contemplate! And … Read more
Last weekend the students in the latest Energy Awareness training engaged in a lengthy discussion about meditation and mental chatter. It’s a frequent topic in the classroom, because we’re exploring energy and the exercises are internal and contemplative. We shared some great laughs about meditation becoming the place to figure out the day’s logistics, the … Read more
Living in Southern Maine, CK is acutely aware that fall is enroute and winter is a tad behind that. There’s a lot to do to get ready for the quiet and stillness of land at rest. And the process of putting our teensy little farm to rest for the winter begins now. The summer veggies … Read more
Normally I prefer to use this space to talk about things other than myself. It’s simpler, cleaner and less personal to reference the role of energy without tying it back to my experiences. Bear with me, this week’s post is personal. I spent the last few days clearing out my parent’s home. My father passed … Read more
One of Energy Healing Institute’s recent students is anticipating a major life change – he’s moving across the country to complete his college degree. He wrote me about his upcoming move, stating that his head plays games with him when he contemplates big changes, causing him to feel anxious, overwhelmed. It made me smile, not … Read more
Worrying is Like Praying… Well, that was just a partial statement, hence the …. Here’s the rest of the statement: Worrying is Like Praying…for something you don’t want to happen! My friend and co-beekeeper Sue sent me that quote earlier this week. It came on the heels of a meeting with a client, Lucy. Lucy … Read more
What do you believe? Do you believe what you believe? Honey, I’ve got to tell you, we all think some crazy stuff, and when we believe the crazy stuff we think, we set worlds of energy into motion. Dogma can be stultifying, sticky. You can end up thinking through a lens that is clouded with … Read more
You’re salivating aren’t you? Promiscuity? This is going to be one juicy post! What in the world could CK be alluding to with such a provocative title? Well, you’re definitely right, the title is titillating, and if it evokes the concept of doing you know what with lots of you know who’s, you’re on the … Read more
Energy hygiene is an essential practice for healers and practitioners to manage energetic countertransference and to avoid burnout. Beyond ‘highest possible good’, which is a concept, not a measurable frequency, energy hygiene keeps the practitioner’s neutrality in place, and minimizes enmeshment.
Last week I took myself up north on the Coast of Maine for my annual pilgrimage and retreat. The area is spectacularly beautiful – raw, primal – wildlife abounds. The sparse population of year-round residents are salty and real and connected to the Earth in ways that you don’t see in suburbs, or even my … Read more
