After returning from a fabulous workshop in Sedona this week, I am reminded once again about how hard it can be to 're-enter' daily life following some time away. Ironically, the conference was on 'consciousness', and I feel like I fully 'binged' on spirit in those 6 days away. The challenge is.... I had to re-enter my daily routine soon after my return.
I liken vacation 're-entry' to that scene in the Apollo 13 movie when Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon are looking at each other wondering if they are going to make it back into the atmosphere of Earth. They don't know if they should brace for impact, or just count their blessings for the adventure they had. They made it back to Earth, but landed with quite an impact.
What do you do to re-enter after a fabulous time away? How conscious are you in your return to routine?
In my case, I try to stretch out my own re-entry by minimizing time in front of the t.v., on the telephone, or doing anything that could abruptly 'shock' me back into the human reality.
Next time you travel... plan some conscious re-entry to make your own transition smoother...

Earth Consciousness
Our consciousness as humans is growing every day. But I can't help but think that we are forgetting to remain conscious about our wonderful planet. Last week's earthquake and subsequent tsunamis are such a clear indication that our planet is hurting as much as we are.
I had a friend tell me she thought the Earth was trying to 'shake us off' like fleas. This is such a vivid image in that our Earth really is trying to tell us that we aren't being very good stewards.
On April 22, I will be joining two dear friends of mine to host an "Embrace the Earth" meditation and celebration. I had the idea back when the gulf oil spill occured. But now it feels even more important as the Earth from it's very core is hurting--- it's heart is breaking.
Let's rally our collective consciousness to heal the planet. Like any wound, only our conscious awareness of it's needs for care will calm our world. Embrace the Earth in your own way today and add to the consciousness the world needs.
In shared light,
Kathy

Soul Alignment
Lately I've been talking to clients about 'aligning with their souls'. Ease of living--- happiness, contentment, and just smooth sailing through life-- is entirely dependent on how aligned we are with our soul. When we are living in our truth in all areas of life, our souls are at ease and life flows smoothly. However, when we are 'mis-aligned'--- not living our truth, or are off track from an important aspect of our our soul's needs, there is great discomfort. This can manifest as anxiety or depression, general stress, or even as health problems.
My Soul Health Model helps people re-align with their souls. For more information, go to http://www.drkatherinetkelly.com/.

To evolve or not to evolve... that IS the question....
Our personal evolution requires conscious choice. Scientists believe that the human body has evolved as far as it is going to. However, the evolution of our souls is infinite. But this infinity is only guaranteed when we choose to remain conscious of our opportunities to evolve. What does this mean?
Every day, and often every moment-- we are given the opportunity to learn something new, do something different, or respond in an alternate way. All of this requires our willingness to take a step back and really look at how we can steer our worlds.
Our cues to evolution come in all shapes and forms. Sometimes it is through an emotion.... sometimes it is a physical symptom.... sometimes through a sign from nature.... sometimes through a new thought.... or even a chance circumstance. But we will miss these cues to evolve if we do not adopt a "radically conscious" mindset.
Allow yourself to become "radical" today! Go wild with your awareness! See and hear things that you have a tendency to overlook. And most of all-- observe the information that is all around you. It is there for your evolution!!!

"Checking Out"... Conscious Unconsciousness
Today I woke up feeling mentally fatigued and basically not wanting to be "responsible". I gave myself permission to become consciously unconscious for the rest of the day (until just now). What that meant for me was to go on with my day, but with an agreement with myself to not think harder than I had to, not "process" anything that didn't need to be solved today, and to just let my mind take a rest for the day.
Let's face it, consciousness takes energy. Those who choose what I call "radical consciousness" spend the majority of their waking hours maintaining a stance of constant awareness. Every once in a while we need to 'check out' and allow ourselves to just mentally 'chill'. However, we need to be discerning about what we do to become consciously unconcious, and for how long. A commitment to consciousness means that if we check out, we also commit to come back into consciousness at some point. This consciousness thing can be tricky... but is vital to our health and wellbeing, as well as to our evolution. Take some time to become consciously unconcious when you need to.

Consciousness of today
Anyone listening to the tragedy that happened in Tuscon today hopefully found themselves conscious of just how much the human condition can go awry. The gunsmen who targeted the Arizona congresswoman was not what I would call "conscious", meaning that he obviously was far off the mark from his soul and from the oneness that connects us all. The 9-year old girl who was killed in the rampage was born on September 11, 2001. Although that may seem ironic, it is no accident that this little girl's life started and ended on days of tragedy. This girl's life has something incredibly important to teach all of us. When we do not remain conscious in our own lives, we affect others'. When we get of track, we take others down with us. Has our country really become so "unconscious" that we don't care who we hurt just to say we are "right"? Have we really gotten so oblivious to our integrity. The daily news seems to show us just this. Something needs to change.... and soon.
Bless the victims of that shooting as well as their family and friends.

Hello once again...
It's been a while since I've "blogged"-- mostly because I have been initiating myself into the social media world in other ways, which is quite the challenge. My work is all about consciousness and our soul's evolution. And in many ways, I've been resistant to social media being a part of that. I believe very strongly in one on one connection, so the distance that social media creates felt like an artificial form of connecting with other souls. However.... I'm not warming up to the idea that if I really want to spread the word about consciousness, the magical electronic web of the world can help to spread the word further and wider than I would within the walls of my office. So, here's to social media, and here's to my own evolution within the blogging world.... join me.....
