Magic!

I am so thrilled - one of my articles was accepted for publication in the most wonderful New Spirit Magazine!  This is one of those things where for years I thought...Gee, I'd really like to submit an article for New Spirit Magazine...but I just didn't. When we get clear on our intentions, magic happens.

I have also been asked to write for several online magazines and even though my first book was published years ago, when asked on surveys if I was a writer, I never felt comfortable saying yes, because my book didn't make the NY Times Best Seller List!


How many ways can we find to limit ourselves? It is almost unlimited - and the good news is that when we finally get clear on who we are and what we truly want - that's when the magic happens!


Where is the magic happening in your life?

The Meaning of Life

I think the meaning of life means to be Free. What do you find is the meaning of life?

Being free means for me, not having excess baggage. I was always pretty good that way prior to my 50s. I embraced every neat job/career opportunity - from being a psychologist at UCLA, to teaching English and psychology in Japan, to starting my own businesses, and learning healing techniques all over the world.

I collected some ‘things’, gorgeous teak statues from Bali, a kimono and tea bowls from my Tea Ceremony training, batik from Malaysia – all neat stuff that I ultimately gave away. I thought I was missing all the ‘ownership’ genes.

And then I hit my 40s. My mom was ill and so my travels stopped, but I still started another new business and moved to another state for the excitement. And then I hit my 50s and not only was my mom ill, but I had a life-threatening illness – so I started seeking ‘safety’ outside of myself. I bought a house, property and started collecting things (guess what - collectibles are NOT such a good idea). The market of course dropped not only for collectibles but for houses and property as well – so my sense of ‘safety’ went down my new toilet.

What I found as my body-mind began to heal was a collectible that paid back – it gave me a way to access my greater capacity and pull together all the techniques I had learned all over the world. I found the missing link to everything I had learned and could bring together ho’ponopono, EFT, Reiki, quantum physics, etc. and provide the Core that holds it all together – it is called The One Command and it is really useful in changing my life.

When I go to the theta brainwave – the brainwave beyond alpha that actually connects directly with the subconscious), and I say I don’t know how I easily let go of emotional fear, I only know I do now and I am fulfilled, or I don’t know how I embrace my freedom and exuberance for life, I only know I do now and I am fulfilled.

Knowing from quantum physics and the study of epigenetics that we can change our DNA with our own thoughts and words has been tremendously liberating for me.

What works for you? What have you learned that finally makes it all work and finally helps you Witness your own Mastery?

Today is 9/11

Over the years of doing my heart-work from psychology to coaching to seminars - I am often prompted in what I offer from the experiences of my own life and challenges or joys - and I also watch for what is showing up for those in my tribe (my friends, family, colleague, clients) - and focus on what is coming up for them.

I am watching the 9/11 tribute in Shanksville right now and thinking about the heroism of 'just people', people rising to an unprecedented situation - who found out what was happening on other planes and acted without question - out of the fullness of their hearts.

We all have that brave selves inside, the one that jumps to do what is needed in the moment. If we are looking for a way to change our world - jumping in to help build a school somewhere (by contribution or participation), to participate in Random Acts of Kindness like the ones going on in Seattle today, to deciding to elect people who actually care at least as much about all the people of our country as they do about their own ambitions, to being our own hero and the hero of our children.

This cannot help but be a day of reflection no matter where we live, and when we live from our spirit - we can't go wrong.

Love and Blessings, Katie

Falling Out of Love with My Drama

Falling Out of Love with My Drama

I have been fortunate to study with some of the most amazing teachers over the decades, and all of them have talked about letting go of the drama in your life.

It took me awhile to truly let go of it all and learn to live in the present, to be present with my own life and with everyone in it.

I found that I took myself through several steps to get to the Freedom I desired:

Step 1- Forgiveness

In order to start the clearing out process I realized that forgiveness was the key that would open the lock to all else that was within. Even though I knew better, it was still easy to get caught up in the idea that by forgiving the person, I was approving the act. And also that forgiveness was for the other person when it is really always for us and our own inner peace. Once I got myself past those old mind-sets, it was all downhill from there – simply a process of letting go.

Step 2 – My History

How many of us are ‘married’ to our stories. It is easy to believe that if we give up our ‘story’ we will no longer be ourselves and we will never be able to rectify what has happened and create something new. The truth is, it is your stories that keep you stuck and interfere with your capacity to create the new life you want. Once you choose to create what you want instead of what you have, you have no need for what was.

Step 3 – My Future

Finally I got to the point of looking ‘forward’ even though I am aware from quantum physics that there is no time – just ask Einstein.  For me this was sort of a way station. It was a place I lived for a while until I really understood that my future is right now. It was useful in the sense that at least I had separated out from my past.

Step 4 – My Now

This is where I want to live for the duration.  Staying in the present is so much more interesting than you might ever imagine. This is where your greater capacity lives and this is where your joy resides

In the present you are always fresh, new and available to every idea, opportunity and resource that your world is offering to you.

I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else.

Love and blessings, Katie
