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.
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,
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
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).
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
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
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
Chakra Khan is taking care. Right now. Taking care to let the muse rest and regenerate. Taking care to nurture a healing heart. Taking care to honor passages large and small. Taking care to meditate, clear energy, exercise, eat cleanly, breathe. Taking care of business transitions. Taking care. So many passages. Two young, beautiful, beloved
When Meditation Meets Mental Illness
Young, spiritual and lacking containment, anchoring I have often had the privilege of working with young spiritually inclined individuals – many high school and college aged. These amazing people are students of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Shamanism, Spiritualism and some include hallucinogenic plant medicines as part of their spiritual practice. Through meditation, ceremony, ritual these people
An additional Chakra Khan post comes out today on the #bealeader blog. Titled Power Up! The Energetics of Leadership This is a summary of a Remote Collective Healing emailed to the 120+ known participants held on Tuesday, 4/16/2013, the day following the explosion at the Boston Marathon. My gratitude to the participants for joining in
Once in a while someone will ask me if energy healing is a substitute or work around to help avoid feeling emotions. Yeah, I know, interesting question. When the question arises, it’s often about wanting to avoid feeling anger. Many folks have an aversion to anger because it’s a powerful emotion, and can become a
C.P., this post is dedicated to you and your ideas. C.P. brought such an interesting topic to his latest session with Chakra Khan. He wanted to know how to galvanize his energy to manifest all of the amazing and great ideas he generates. His days are filled with activities and tasks, like all of us.
Radical Self-Care was the theme discussed Sunday morning at #spiritchat, a tweetchat I have begun to regularly attend. There are some great people who participate each week, and some interesting questions are asked and answered. It may be helpful to read Janet Nestor’s wonderful post, Nurturing Wellness through Radical Self-Care to set the tone for this
The Practitioner’s Dilemma, Part 2
Last week I wrote about practitioners who derail in their practices by having their personal energy set in such a way that they’re in their patient & client’s soup. Not only is it depleting and exhausting to live that way, but energetically, it’s like wearing someone else’s workout clothes. Ewwwww….. This week CK is going
Do you have any idea what it’s like to sit across from a patient (or client) in a therapeutic/healing session and discover that what the patient is describing to you is what’s happening in your own life experience? It happens all the time! And it can be pretty challenging to say the least. The reason
Last week I heard from a client who was carrying around all kinds of negative emotional energy. She had these thoughts and emotions wired up as really big, powerful and pervasive. It was all she could see, feel, hear and sense about herself. She told me that she felt frightened, scared and overwhelmed. Bless her
Remember Dana Carvey as Church Lady and that line from Saturday Night Live? It went viral before we knew what it meant to go viral. Want to hear it again? Let’s reframe that line just a bit into, Well, Aren’t You Special. Why? Because it works for the post, that’s why. Moving on… A friend
My, doesn’t this sound like an evolved thing to do? Avoid Your Life. Sign me up! How do I do this and do it well? It’s got to be an involved, intricate process to avoid your life, right? Sadly, not really. There’s a lot of ways to get it done. And we’ll review the top
I’ve been taking a little space lately. In lots of ways. Space from my school and my practice. Space from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Space from idle chitchat and meaningless conversation. Space from socializing. Space. I took some more substantial space this past weekend, choosing to go on a retreat for rest,
