Cultivating Kindness With Karen  As we enter a New Year many people set intentions of change. You may wish to grow your prosperity or personal strength. You may be looking to move up in your chosen career. Most intentions are to help you grow and move up towards a greater sense of self and achievement. In order to achieve these goals/intentions you must be sure to look at yourself and what is required from you. This can include your shadow side or parts of you that you have worked hard at keeping hidden. In order to have more, everyone is required to grow up and step into the maturity required to see yourself, your choices and your actions for what they have truthfully created. To Grow Up and Grow Out requires a number of skills that will be shared this week on Cultivating Kindness With Karen. Join Energetic Transformational Healer Karen Leslie to gain a greater understanding of what is required to create 2024 so that it does not create a repeat of life from 2023. ~ More About Cultivating Kindness With Karen ~  Karen Leslie is an Educator and an Expert Healer who has been facilitating energy with others for over 25 years.  Her life of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts has led her on an interesting, and at times, turbulent path to where she is today. Kindness was definitely missing in Karen’s life.  Karen was always kind and compassionate to others, however she was not showing kindness to herself.  Today Karen knows that kindness towards others was actually a way of avoiding her own wounds and sadness.  These choices created a life of ‘people pleasing’, keeping the peace and avoiding conflict; especially if it involved having to say “No” to someone else.

Cultivating Kindness With Karen  You may be looking at everything around you using your physical eyes. However your "looking" is often coloured by the beliefs of others. They may be your eyes but your brain filters in other people's perceptions. How we see the world around us is greatly shaped by our family, friends, the media and so much more. The joy, or lack of joy, we experience is influenced by others. The hardships we encounter are also seen through the eyes of those who share their experiences with us. As 2023 comes to a close it is a great time to look back on different times during the year and honestly ask yourself whose eyes were you looking through and how might you wish to change this for the future. Join Energetic Transformational Healer Karen Leslie for great insights on how to connect back to your own eyes so you can accurately create the life that will bring you greater joy in 2024. ~ More About Cultivating Kindness With Karen ~  Karen Leslie is an Educator and an Expert Healer who has been facilitating energy with others for over 25 years.  Her life of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts has led her on an interesting, and at times, turbulent path to where she is today.

Cultivating Kindness With Karen  Quality of life is usually something that grows over time. What we choose to do daily becomes easier and our sense of satisfaction, or rewards, becomes more apparent. Even the very small habit can contribute to the rewards at the end of the day. As we learn more about what we enjoy, what things we would like to have in our life, we can begin to take actions to achieving them. So what is happening when what we are desiring is not showing up? What are your daily actions that are either supporting your desires or getting in the way of them? These questions, and more, will be investigated this week on Cultivating Kindness With Karen. Join Energetic Transformational Healer Karen Leslie and discover which of your daily habits are one to hold onto and which ones need to leave.

Cultivating Kindness With Karen  Have you ever walked past a mirror, or a reflection in a window, and had that flash thought "is that me?" or "do I actually look like that?". Did you surprise yourself with your reflection? This is actually quite common. How you see yourself changes over time. These changes can surprise you in both positive and not so happy ways. These changes may feel like they just appeared with no warning. In truth these changes have been occurring for a period of time. The change feels surprising because of your lack of connection to you. Sometimes this lack of connection is a way to take care of you; a way to hide something you are not ready to see or acknowledge. These changes can be unnerving or overly inspiring and positive; either way you are not quite ready. Regardless of the reasons behind this, being disconnected creates difficulties in life when we stay in that space for too long. Learning to recognize when this is happening is important. To find out how you can shift out of this way of living join Karen Leslie this week on Cultivating Kindness With Karen, to learn the signs to watch for and the tools to see what has caused you to be surprised by your reflection. ~ More About Cultivating Kindness With Karen ~  Karen Leslie is an Educator and an Expert Healer who has been facilitating energy with others for over 25 years.  Her life of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts has led her on an interesting, and at times, turbulent path to where she is today.

Cultivating Kindness With Karen  Everyone uses labels. Labels give definition, description, understanding and comfort. The key question is: What is behind the label to begin with? What was that split second thought behind the word that is the label? What labels do you have for yourself, or others - smart, handsome, tall, goofy, arrogant, talkative, energetic? Have you ever looked at how these labels were put into place? Who was the person who said they were correct or a good fit?

Cultivating Kindness With Karen  The concept of fear is well known by everyone, even if you have not experienced it. Fear is something that has been taught to avoid, or even run away from. Working with fear is often not taught. Working with the energy of fear is almost never taught. You do not have to have been in a life threatening situation to understand this energy. For some a horror movie can illicit fear. For others a state of anxiety can escalate to a state of fear. Regardless of how this energy is brought forward, the one constant fact is that fear is an energy. The question is, how to deal with the energy we have called fear? Is it real if it is an energy? If it is perceived as real, and labelled as real by the mind and brain as real, then yes it will be 100% real to you. This week on Cultivating Kindness With Karen, Language & Thought Pattern Coach and Expert Healer Karen Leslie will guide you in identifying this energy, how to work with it and how to transmute it into something else. ~ More About Cultivating Kindness With Karen ~  Karen Leslie is an Educator and an Expert Healer who has been facilitating energy with others for over 25 years.  Her life of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts has led her on an interesting, and at times, turbulent path to where she is today.
