Purpose. Passion. Presence
By Kathy Karlander

I opened this file to write this message without knowing what I was going to write. I deleted the old message, the old title, and a new title just seemed to write itself. I am just as interested as you are to find out what the content will be!

This past month I have found myself reflecting on my own purpose, my own passion, and practicing at be fully present in any endeavor I choose to undertake. As many of you may know, my very good friend Marie and I have challenged ourselves to a "Grand Experiment". The Grand Experiment was for each one of us to commit to 30 continuous days of following a particular routine of prayer, meditation, and purposeful intention setting. We created this grand experiment simply for the fun of it, not to prove anything to ourselves or to anyone else, but just because we could. It has been amazing for me and I would like to share a bit of my experience with all of you. Perhaps by doing so, you will be inspired to create your own Grand Experiment.

Here is my daily routine or ritual:

1. I do my Magnified healing daily practice. This is a short and powerful meditation to clear energies, align my chakras, and so forth. Part of the practice is to do a remote healing for the Earth and all of her kingdoms and systems. Part of the practice is to perform remote healings for any individuals or groups that I choose. When I do this part I always include all past lives, future lives, and parallel bodies each in accordance with Free will and Highest Good, giving any aspect the opportunity to step out if he/she should choose not to accept the energy. This whole "practice" can be completed within about 7 minutes.

2. I read the "Song to the Universe" by Ptaah--this is a wonderful poem that focuses on the attitude of gratitude. I read it aloud while holding my hands in prayer position. The heat generated is amazing!

3. I perform the alternating sweep exercise (an EMF Balancing Technique exercise for manifestation) with the following intentions: As you will see, the intents range from all encompassing to very specific for me.

  • Blessings to my entire Universe as I know and Understand it
  • Blessings of prosperity and abundance to all of humanity
  • I am aligned with all that I AM and I choose the easy path to everything (notice how you feel in your body when you say this one, it is POWERFUL)
  • I love sharing my wealth with the world. (wealth here is defined by me as love, health, knowledge, wisdom, and prosperity)
  • I am fully financially supported through my book sales and cd sales

**By the way, it is NOT necessary for you to do the same rituals that I have been doing. These are rituals that mean something to me, that hold power for me. You can do anything that is meaningful to you. I do recommend that you find some time each day to be quiet and still, meditative. The important thing is to have fun with it. It most definitely should not feel like a chore.**

So What are the results?

Well, I have been doing this now for over 30 days, without missing a day. As I mentioned before, I thought of this Grand Experiment as a fun thing, something to play with. I had no specific expectations about what would happen, other than knowing it would be something good. So here is what I feel I got from my experiment...

In the last 30 days my ability to live and express from the Core of my being as increased. My ability to remain focused in the Now moment has increased. The synchronistic action in my life has increased. More specifically my cd sales doubled in February over January through Amazon.com (sales I had nothing to do with personally).

Through synchronistic action I was lead to reading the book, "A new Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. As a result of reading this book I have shifted my energies once again, remembering what it is like to be more fully present in whatever I am doing. I have let go of multi-tasking as much as possible--sometimes old habits die hard. If I am helping my son with homework, I am fully focused on being there for him. Even if that means just sitting at the table, in silence, holding the space of Love and Compassion. When I read to my other son (which is also a new habit), we now go to a quiet room with no distractions, so again, we can both be fully in the moment of what we are doing. When my daughter comes to tell me something and I am at the computer working, I now stop what I am doing, look directly at her and truly listen with my full, undivided attention. (much better than typing and listening at the same time I must say). It is funny how the old me thought that I needed to multitask to get it all done. The new me realizes how much more enjoyable the 'doing' is when I am fully 'being' in the moment. This aha is truly a gift for myself and my children.

Synchronistic action once again brought a gift into my life just last week. I believe in Divine Timing with all of my heart and soul. I believe that this seemingly spontaneous Grand Experiment was orchestrated on a Higher Level by some aspect of me to assist me with aligning myself more fully with the Core Essence of who I truly am. By being fully aligned, I am in the flow of Divine order and Divine Timing. Being aligned and present allows me to easily recognize the gifts and opportunities that come knocking on my door.

The greatest gift I received during my experiment was finding my passion again, aligning with my purpose again. For a few months now I have been experiencing a 'growth curve' spiritually speaking. I have felt just a shade "off". I was a bit frustrated because this growth curve was taking soooo looonnngggg. I knew I was expanding and integrating, and I was beginning to get a bit impatient to say the least. I mostly just chalked it up to the winter time blahs. Then I got an email from an old acquaintance. That email has forever changed my life.

That email connected with my HUB. HUB stands for Humanity Unites Brilliance. I could explain what they are all about, but this is not really the place for that. What I want to emphasize is what it did for me. As I surfed around the website I became so excited I could hardly sit still. I could feel my head tingling all over. I was hearing an audible buzz in my right ear. I felt my heart energy expand so much that it felt like I was standing in my heart energy rather than my heart standing within my body. I KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had found my new purpose, my new passion. I KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that everything I have done and learned in the past few years was preparing me for this moment. I KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt that I MUST take action, and I did. Within the hour I had joined as a founding Angel.

My excitement was so powerful that I could not go to sleep at first. When I woke the next morning, I was still excited. Even now, I am still just as excited as I was that first hour. And why? Because I am aligned with my passion and my purpose. And how did I get here? By participating in my own little Grand Experiment. I found my passion and my purpose by being rather than doing. Yes, I was 'doing' the rituals, but those rituals were helping me BE. Needless to say, I will be extending my Grand Experiment indefinitely!

I have found that I am most present when I give emf sessions, give akashic records sessions, or when I am in prayer or meditation. My rituals allow me to align fully with all that I AM and to express that energy, that frequency to the Universe as I know and understand it. I AM THAT I AM. And So It Is.

Here is my challenge to you, should you choose to accept it:

Conduct your own Grand Experiment! Find a friend and make a commitment (you can also work alone).

  • 1. Choose a few activities that make you feel good inside, that assist you with feeling present, that allow you to simply BE.
  • 2. Choose a few intents to focus on each day. I invite you to make at least one or two of them 'all encompassing' like my first two, you can even use the ones I used. Then craft one or two that are specifically for you. I encourage you to keep the total limited to no more than 5. If you choose too many you will quickly find that it begins to feel like a chore to 'get through your list', rather than fun and enjoyable.
  • 3. Commit to a minimum of 30 days and stick to it! If you must miss a day or two due to illness or other unavoidable events, that is okay. Just get back to your routine as soon as you can. I did not always perform my rituals at the same time each day, or even as a group. I just made sure I got them all in each day at some point. It is amazing how the energy can build if you do it every single day, the more days you can do in a row, the more powerful the buildup of energy.
  • 4. Send me an email and let me know you are commiting to your own experiment. You can even send me your intents if you like. In return, I will send you a copy of the "Song the the Universe". It really is very lovely and I HIGHLY recommend you include in your daily routine.
  • 5. If you want to be really diligent, keep a diary. You will begin to experience so many wonderful and synchronistic events throughout your experiment. If you keep a diary, you will be able to look back at the end of the 30 days and see just how much fun you really did have. (I will warn you that not every day was fun for me. I had my ups and downs. The downs were simply old energy shifting into new patterns)

Last but not least: HAVE FUN
