There are no coincidences!

In the middle of writing an article on Children and Intuition,
my writing was completely and utterly interrupted by the birth
of my first grandchild…a BIG BOUNCING BOY. Obviously,
priorities call!

My plans include being able to write to you next week.

Until then, I send you gratitude for our connection and your support.

Heart to Heart,

Karen

Welcome to an introduction to the 21-day Perspective Cleanse;

an easy, consistent way to detoxify any point of view. Science reminds us that our brain rewires itself by thinking different thoughts. Most people need a system to help make this shift and that’s the opportunity in front of you now.

As new thoughts replace old, routine, negative, fearful, angry or worrisome thoughts, a substance called myelin covers and protects the nerves, similar to the plastic sheath surrounding electrical wires. For the next 21 days you have ample opportunity to simply yet effectively clear out the cobwebs of outdated thinking and open new vistas within your mind and life.

The biggest mistake people often make when trying to make decisions or create something new is not taking time to clear old, worn out, ineffective, unnecessary thinking patterns first. To paraphrase Einstein, we can’t solve a problem using the same thinking that created the problem in the first place.

This Perspective Cleanse is unlike any other cleanse or meditation. It’s not about covering up but about clearing out. No one is pushed to a specified outcome: instead, right action arises naturally for each person during or after the Cleanse. Everyone has the opportunity for discovery, more freedom and authentic expression.

No one school of thought is represented. Instead, meditations and practices are synthesized from diverse cultures and philosophies, such as Native American, East Indian, Hawaiian, and Incan. Science demonstrates that short, brief 5 minute meditations throughout the day prove more beneficial for most people than one or two long periods. That being true, each daily offering will be no longer than 5 minutes.

Everyone is invited to repeat or personally investigate further any meditation that feels particularly helpful.
If you have lots of experience going within, these practices enhance what you’re already doing. If you are new to inner-focus processes the next 21 days offer great chances for a fresh healing relationship with yourself and others.

DEEPER EXPLANATION and PREPARATION for the CLEANSE

Imagine an apple, a papaya or peach. Each fruit is a whole unto itself and can’t really be divided, but for ease of discussion, we can separate them out into three main parts: the Skin, the Pulp and the Seed. Similarly, a human being can’t really be divided into parts, but for the purposes of the Perspective Cleanse we’ll divide our Mind into three similar areas of Being; three elements of Essential Mind.

1. The Skin-Mind would be the conscious mind, what we focus upon, attend to, see or easily know. The most common element of this Mind is Imagination. This is the Mind that decides what gets focused on and determines what is “true.” A good portion of this Mind is given to people by their families, cultures and the popular science of the time they live. A good example is when a majority of people believed the sun traveled around the earth – a staunchly defended PERSPECTIVE, but not true. This aspect of Mind holds onto being “right.” It is also called LONO, a friendlier and more intuitive label used in Hawaiian Shamanism. I may refer to LONO (the trained, consensus pleaser-mind) during the Cleanse.
2. The Pulp-Mind is the unconscious mind, or the Heart-Body Mind. It is much bigger, deeper, faster and juicer than the LONO/conscious/skin-mind. The most common element of this Mind is Memory, and memory gets stored in every cell, muscle, fluid and system of our body. The Pulp-Heart-Body mind carries emotion and memorizes the patterns of our beliefs as well as the emotions that go along with those beliefs. The intuitive/shaman name for our subconscious mind is KU. The KU remains mostly out of awareness but contains every experience ever experienced. The KU does not make decisions but influences, drives and colors every decision. Science says that the KU accounts for up to 90% of our activities.
3. The Seed-Mind is the Spirit Mind, or super-conscious mind, sometimes referred to as the Higher Self, Source Energy or Soul. The key is not to separate this mind from the others. All three are necessary for a whole human being. Called KANE (pronounced kaw-ney), the Seed-Mind is the deepest, most hidden aspect of Mind. It does not initiate action but continually attempts to inspire harmony within as well as between people and Nature.

Quick Overview:

• Skin/Conscious focus/LONO: Decides what’s “true” or has agreed out of training what’s “true.”
• Pulp/Sub-conscious heartbody/KU: Memorizes patterns, beliefs, trainings, reactions & emotion
• Seed/Super-conscious Spirit/KANE: Manifests experiences while inspiring patterns to harmonize

So, there you have it: a daily 5 minute meditation system of short, daily, juicy tid-bits to assist you in clearing old thought patterns and increase integration of your three beautiful Minds.

Hi everyone! The Autumn Equinox is coming soon. As summer ends, what perfect timing to align with Nature, renew your outlook on life and get ready for a new Fall season.

Beginning September 22, just in time for the Autumn Equinox, you get the chance to take our 21-day Perspective Cleanse to clear your mental palate so thinking tastes simple and sweet again. Ah, such a relief. This much needed (and soon to be very popular) program is F>R>E>E> to members and very affordable ($47) for non-members. We want everyone who tunes into the wisdom of this idea to be able to participate. Tell a friend, family member about this and have fun doing this cleanse together. Even your staff could benefit. Here are more details:

21-DAY PERSPECTIVE CLEANSE – Simple Meditation Practices for recovering mental clarity

“Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Do you experience daily overwhelm?

Do you find yourself worrying even when you try to stop?

Do you feel the ‘new’ information you learn has nowhere to go because your internal hard drive is full?

Are you unsure how to clear the mental clutter?

Do you know what to do but can’t bet started and end up with “brain freeze’?

Wouldn’t it be great to renew your mind so decisions, choices and options come easier?

WHY A PERSPECTIVE CLEANSE?

The biggest mistake most people make when attempting something new is not taking time first to clear out the old. This 21 day Perception Cleanse Program takes care of that problem and clears a path for a happier future.  Intending a new future for yourself is weak and porone to failure if you don’t clear the past first. Have you seen the reality show “Hoarders”? That’s an extreme example of what happens to us when we don’t clean out before we add more – whether we’re adding shoes, gadgets, relationships or information.

There’s so much pressure and opportunity to move forward right now. We’re re-building our economic world along with our ecological world. That means re-building relationships and dreaming new dreams. But to paraphrase Einstein: we can’t expect to solve problems using the same thought processes that created the problem in the first place!

Are you ready to dump old patterns and have room for fresh energy and new information to come in?

Here’s the clear-out-the-gunk/get unstuck solution you’ve been looking for – The Perspective Cleanse!

5 REASONS WHY YOU NEED A PERSPECTIVE CLEANSE

1. In psychology we know about “confirmatory bias” as a mental pattern for most people. This is where new information comes to us, but instead of opening our perception or changing our thinking, the information gets trimmed, shaped and folded into our already existing, pre-conceived ideas about ourselves and the world.
2. As psychologists Leon Rozenblit and Frank Keil discovered, people tend to suffer from the illusion of knowledge: a tendency to mistake surface-level familiarity with deep understanding. As more information becomes increasingly available, a sense of familiarity grows, and with it comes an illusion of knowledge.
3. Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, both university psychology professors, point out there are real downsides to the instant availability of torrents of information: we mistake knowledge we obtain quickly for knowledge we already have and can act upon. This illusion tricks us to neglect the acquisition of true knowledge.
4. Evidence unquestionably supports the idea that the growing ways technology gives us to multitask, the more possibilities exist that we’ll believe the illusion that we are paying attention to and processing more information than we actually are.
5. 5. Mental and emotional overload leads to more and more stress. We usually carry that stress around in our hearts minds and bodies until feel like we’re going to implode or explode. Neither option works out well for you. Your relationship with yourself, with others and the quality of your work all drag downward.

WHAT’S INVOLVED IN THE PERSPECTIVE CLEANSE?

We start by clearing off the lenses you look through to see the world. Have you ever driven a car or truck with a dirty windshield or driven in a light rain that gets progressively stronger? In both cases, when you eventually turn on the windshield wipers the whole world looks different. YOU haven’t changed but your PERSPECTIVE has changed and you automatically feel more relaxed. The same with reading glasses or swim goggles: clean them off and you simply see better. Your capacity to view things with more accuracy happens without a lot of struggle.

Science indicates that it takes 3 weeks to create a new habit. Clearing out our mental palate goes a long way to allowing us to “taste” new ideas and possibilities and not stay bogged down in old repetitive thoughts.

So for 21 days in a row you’ll receive a new tasty morsel, a mind-clearing tidbit to start your day.

YOUR RESULTS INCLUDE:

• Kicking the “Overwhelm Blues”
• Releasing mental constipation
• Getting rid of toxic thoughts
• Renewing energy so life becomes more natural and less tense
• Expanding your consciousness to increase confidence in decisions, clarity in choices and presence in relationships.
• Reducing habitual drama/suffering/pain/ contractions in your bodymind which are often invisible to you (unconscious) but hamper your joy, ease and authentic inner peace.
• Awakening awareness, fresh thinking and clear action for better communication and productivity.

Most of us are familiar with physical cleanses, like different liver cleanses for releasing toxins, ridding intestines of undigested build-up and restoring regularity.

Instead of focusing on the physical, we’re flipping things around. This is a Mental Cleanse, a Psychic Cleanse, a necessary and important clearing of certain old perspectives so you can enter a new season of the year – and a new season of your life – with more clarity and inner peace.

This cleanse can benefit the most important relationship you have – the one with your Self. When you feel refreshed mentally you’ll find it easier to take care of yourself physically, too.

Sign up today.

Your Perspective Cleanse will be sent to you every day for 21 days starting September 22 through October 15. Together, let’s transform the last quarter of the year by renewing  our minds, opening our hearts, and having a little fun along the way.

Wow. I love my job.

As President of the Intuitive Academy I just returned  from an incredibly powerful experience. For four days I sat in council with some of the most brilliant hearts and minds on the planet. Indigenous wisdom keepers and renowned physicists and ecologists from around the world sat and dialogued about Time Travel – the Language of Spirit, exploring practical healing solutions for our world.  Rivers of intelligence and respect streamed through everyone no matter where questions, comments and perspectives flowed. Everyone checked their egos at the door, not an easy task for some of those famous, powerful people, creating an opening space for integrated ways of knowing to lead. I’m humbled and energized to lead our movement forward. Will you help?
One of the wonderful things about the Academy is that you are not alone in your quest for weaving expanded consciousness through every aspect of your life. You get education, support and companionship on your journey of creating satisfying work and a good living while growing in authenticity.

When we attune to certain intuitive bandwidths, our guides/teachers are delighted to speak to us.

Today I’m introducing you to Enigma, because her voice speaks to many others besides just me. Anything said here strike a cord in you?

Please leave comments on our blog. Thanks.

Wisdom from Enigma, a visiting guide:

“I come to you from before the beginning, from spiraling grace, where power lies in the turning. Feminine energy spirals in and out, downward and upward simultaneously, constantly, effortlessly. I come to you as the shape of life traveling around itself, creating as She curls.
You look for an end to things – end to violence, end to suffering, end to destruction of wooded forests, wet grasslands, deep canyons, your precious oceans. You look for the end of devastation of wildness in all Her forms.
I come to tell you to stop looking, for seeking has become a way for you to be caught in analysis and strategy. Stopping becomes magic because shifts in momentum occur, allowing you to experience one of my lessons: another circle always begins, slow twirl of unknown seducing you further into your own wildness.
I come from beyond time and space and live within every cell of your Being. Transluscent breath spirals in and out, blood spirals through veins dancing red into life. I am the shape of each universe as it births itself, the chakra-shape that feeds your physicality.
I come to help you stop: slow down enough to begin sideways, looping into a truth that touches everything but must be expressed through YOU ALONE.

And a paradox exists of which you spoke earlier: the more alone you allow yourself to feel, the more open you become to Life, to flow, and the infinitesimal truth you’ve been afraid to know…you enter your Truth through the small…

…slightest sigh, most tender brush of hands, butterfly kisses, “good night” spoken in sweet darkness, rising clouds skipping across the sky, unexpected glimpses of rainbows, whispers of eternity you call “intuitions.”
I came to tell you “more” is not the first way, linear Past-Present-Future, no longer the first way. Round and round, active floating patience yielding to impermanence, opening pathways within your heart of knowing which can prepare you for the days and years ahead.
Clearing the Way is a good start. It is also where you shall return as you grow. Enjoy riding the eye of each storm, eye of the needle, eye of your eye as it opens the roof of the sky.
I came to tell to you Yes, the greatest kindest you offer is the gift of emptying…empty…empty out…only then can fresh new waves of light and freedom truly be yours; these are your deepest gifts.

I leave you in love…
