I wonder, does Michael Franti know that he awakened me to another layer of my destiny? It wasn’t until I saw the activist/musician in concert earlier this year that I realized that I too am an activist – a spiritual activist.

The word activist seemed harsh at first as I spoke to my family about the experience. “It’s like I am drawn to activism, but wouldn’t want to be ‘against’ anything,” I said.

I’ve since learned that my aunt Shirley was arrested while protesting during the civil rights movement. It is in my blood.

As I listen to Franti on my stereo I realize that there is no way for me to determine how many people I reach or don’t reach. He has no idea that I am changed because of his conviction filled lyrics.

My wise friends say that love spreads over the world like a network, one person at a time. Amen for that – there’s not a one of us that could do it alone…

Today I wonder about humility. When I think about being humble, I think about gratitude. Choosing to be thankful for every little thing and releasing the rest.

At the moment I feel frustrated. I have a message to get out to the world and it feels like not enough channels. I have books written, talks prepared and a soul committed to the path of spreading the word about inner and outer peace.

For today, I stay humble – in gratitude for my spirituality, health, beautiful family and a day booked with clients – all blessings.

As for the rest, I surrender and bring myself back to the present moment while reminding myself, “Thy will be done.”

The call for spiritual warriors worked. Yesterday, 24 courageous souls attended my Bright with Life workshop and committed to following the voice of life within. The tears flowed and hope emerged as we all came together for the purpose of world peace.

Hallalulia!

Great to hear from you who commented on the last blog. I feel there are many more out there who did not comment, but who are ready to step up to the calling.

The divided psyche in each of us is a result of socialization. Trying to be who we “should” be while rejecting the essence of who we are. The only way to reverse this process is through essentialization: reclaiming one’s essence through following the ONE voice of life/spirit/love within. The voice of life seeks to extend itself and asks that we take risks, do what we feel is right, and be ourselves without excuse or apology.

Healing the inner split one person at a time is the only way to achieve true world peace. The split between good/evil out there is simply a collective projection of the inner split within each of us. Killing Bin Laden does nothing to solve the problem of evil in the world, for our collective projection will simply shift to another “bad guy.”

Here’s to the ONE voice within and ONE love without!

What if I told you that you could do your part in healing the world simply by following the voice of life within you?

This is no easy task. It takes the courage of a spiritual warrior to listen within and do what you are told. It means stepping out of line sometimes. It means doing what others don’t agree with sometimes. It means being yourself.

This is a call for spiritual warriors. If you’re up for it please let me know.

Love, Kim

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to be on a serious spiritual path. At the core of this journey is fire. Life moves through us burning off everything in its path.

Some people I love are in the midst of a transformational fire – their insides are burning. Life as they know it is crumbling. I weep for them. Yet I know that the spiritual energy that is destroying what once was is the same energy that will offer them freedom, joy and inner peace.

I salute anyone brave and courageous enough to surrender to the transformative fire of life.

Fourteen years ago I stumbled upon my life’s work. It was to help people be more spirit-filled by teaching them how to clear out anything blocking their radiance.

Over the years I have hidden behind a number of titles – I posed as a life-skills trainer, teaching practical classes riddled with disguised mysticism. Then I became a therapist – sneaking in spiritual principles to any clients open to them.

I have always been careful about how I expressed my beliefs as not to offend anyone – I’m over that. The title that best describes my work is energy coach. In my work as an energy coach, I teach people to connect with their core, clear out internal blocks, abandon addictive consumption in favor of passionate expression, and clean up relationships and other external systems that are “draining.”

As I write this entry, I glance up at my bulletin board to a note that says, “You have clicked into your archetypal uniqueness as an “Energy Coach” – mitigate it not, for it will propel you forward exponentially.” – A message from my spiritual guides dated 6-3-05, one year ago today.

I AM AN ENERGY COACH!

This morning in meditation I had an awareness of what attachment looks like energetically.

When we express ourselves passionately life energy flows from us, magnetically attracting whatever we need or desire. This supports ongoing expression, which is our purpose.

Attachment to a certain form or outcome slows the flow of energy and constricts it into the form or thought template of the attachment.

Remaining focused on expressing our passions without getting stuck on what we will get or how it will look is an act of surrender – a leap of faith – yet another layer of control released….

What are your thoughts on how to move toward world peace?

As synchronicity would have it, the question of how to achieve world peace came up multiple times from completely different sources this week.

Each time, I shared my belief that a grassroots movement focused on healing the split within our individual psyches is necessary for real change to occur.

As the days go by, pieces of the puzzle keep coming together in my mind about this movement – as does a feeling of urgency.

The vast majority of us are walking around with a split in our psyche: an inner battle, if you will. THIS is what is being played out in the world around us.

Individual inner peace is step one toward world peace. Each day my personal mission of bringing more light into the world one person at a time becomes more meaningful.
