Guided Meditation • Visualization • Mindfulness

 For over 15 years I’ve been practicing and teaching guided meditation, visualization, and self healing but I’ve never held a class on how others can do it for themselves and others until I had a vision about doing so last month. 

I was sitting in silence contemplating a level II meditation class for my current students when I saw myself sitting in a circle facilitating a workshop where each person gave a guided meditation.  The vision came and went in a flash but it communicated volumes to my heart. 

It has always been my practice to empower everyone I meet and work with, with the knowledge that they are the knowers in thier own lives.  Now I have the opportunity to take this practice to the next level.  Yay!

If you would like more information about this intensive workshop then please go to the calendar section of my site.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Love,

Krista

During this weeks classes we moved our consciousness into a deeper awareness of the Self. We discussed, contemplated, and meditated upon the truth that we are the master’s of our mind.  That it is natural for us to be the leader of mind and the master of our circumstances, and that it is natural for the mind to follow. 

 The fact is however, is that the vast majority of us are servants to our conditioned thinking, our emotions, and our environment.  Our minds run roughshod through our lives.  Through meditation, contemplation (study), and mindfulness practices we come into our true power and we are able to live freely and consciously. 

 I know that freedom, love, true power, and happiness are all of our birthrights, and I look forward to a day when we are all truly free and joy-filled. 

If you would like to start a meditation and contemplative practice or if you would like deepen your practice then come to one of my classes.  So far this summer I have three workshops booked at Beach Cities Health District and I am planning on scheduling a level two workshop at the Center for Spiritual Living, but this is tentative. 

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Hello All,

The next Meditation Workshop is Friday May 21st at 6 PM.  See you all then.

Warmly,

Krista

  FYI, tonights workshop at Beach Cities has been cancelled. 

At some point it becomes more difficult not to go with the flow of technology.  So recognizing that I am resisting the flow of my good I’ve finally signed up on Facebook and twitter. 

Hope to see you all soon,

Krista

Hello Everyone,

Well we just finished our 8 week series at the Redondo Beach Centers for Spiritual Living.  Our next session will begin Wed. April 14th.  If you haven’t tried the journaling portion of this course I highly recommend it.  Journaling is a wonderful way to deepen your connection with your self and Self. 

Also, I will be teaching three two-hour long workshops at Beach Cities during the Spring Quarter.  I am really excited to be back at Beach Cities and I’m looking forward to seeing you all there!

On Saturday April 17th I have the honor of MC’ing the Peace Makers Gathering and Peace Through Unity Breakfast at the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living.  This is the third year I have been involved with this project.  You are all invited to come.  It’s a fun and consciousness raising event.  If you’re looking to expand your awareness, to be more peace-filled, and more loving then this event is for you.

I’m working diligently on putting up some online meditation and possibly some video and podcasting.  I am working on a book that will outline the “three minds,” and how you can become the leader of your mind, rather than have your mind leading you. 

I am really excited about all of these projects.  However, I am a one-woman-show with two kids, two cats, and a husband named Stu;  and just like you I am doing the very best I can with the time that I have.   

I am looking forward to sharing in your wellbeing.  You and your individual way of being is so important to the world.  Your humor, your thoughts, and your spirit is unique and should be cherished.  Love yourself and your human family as best you can.  You are already Perfect-Whole-Complete.

For a complete list of classes please go to the Calendar section of my site.

All for now,

Krista

Hello,

I just wanted to let you all know that we will be having class as scheduled.  If it continues to pour, just bring your canoes and paddles. 

Until tonight,

Krista

Hello All,

This Saturday’s Workshop has been cancelled, but the Wednesday night class is still open. 

Moral relativism is what our religious, societal, and political systems are deathly afraid of.  They tell us that unless we obey the rules, the laws, and the credos of our society, society will fall into chaos.

Moral relativism is fed by the erroneous beliefs that human beings are alone (that is, non-interrelated to other beings) and essentially morally corrupted.  So, if I do what is good for me and you do what is good for you then, boom! chaos erupts. 

 If you turn on the television, read the paper, or if you’ve lost your home recently, then there is plenty of evidence to substantiate this belief. 

We are driven by fear, and the evidence of our fears. 

We are taught that we can not trust ourselves or our neighbors to do the right thing.  We are taught that people have to be told or coherced into doing what’s good or what’s right.  Then we are taught to ignore the deep sense of resentment or longing that arises for listening to the myriad voices that always seem to know better than we do.   

I find it interesting though that most people intuitively know the good when they see it and they know what’s right for them when they feel it.  I also find it interesting that on the occasion when we follow our intuitive feelings, it turns out to be the right thing.  Could it be that we are hardwired to know the good, rather than hardwired to be selfish?  

There was a time in our recent history where inter-racial marriage was illegal and considered immoral, the way same sex marriage is today.  But there were many individuals, my parents for example, who had the courage to move beyond this fearful conditioned belief.  Today we see them as pioneers, but back then they would have been at the apex of the axis of evil, or gasp! perverts.

Was is it inside of us that recognizes error as error and truth as truth?  Is it our conscience, our Source, our Soul, our Self?  And why aren’t we given the tools to explore the nature of ourselves beyond what we’ve been told?  Because then the world would change.  The current power structures couldn’t survive as they are if the majority of people were Authentically Empowered (thanks Gary Zukav).  If we were told that we were born into love rather than sin, if we were taught to trust and then develop our innate goodness and our intuition, then we wouldn’t need to be told what to believe, how to behave, and how to feel; rather we would know and we would act according to that knowing.

True, for some,  its a long way from where they are now to being authentically empowered, but it isn’t that far for you, if you’re here, reading this entry. 
 

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are able to slow down enough this holiday season to enjoy the company of good friends, family, good food, and good cheer. 

In January the new eight week series, “Connecting with the Still Small Voice Within,” begins at the Center for Spiritual Living in Redondo Beach, CA.  Also, I will be having an hour long workshop on Saturday January 16th at the Holy Spirit Fellowship in Long Beach and I have been invited to share meditation and inspired readings during an Inter-Faith Vespers also at the Holy Spirit Fellowship.   

My focus for the coming year is to use meditation and mindfulness practices to deepen our connection with our Authentic Selves. 

The Authentic Self is who we are beyond our individual and collective conditioning.  Indeed, we are not sinners, nor are we born into sin…we are the light of the universe in individuated form–perfect, whole, and complete.   You are perfect, whole, and complete. 

Imagine living in a world where all of us know this perfection and are free to express it.  I do, and it excites me.  I am excited to live in a world of free people who resolve conflict from the heart center, look for new solutions, or just have the confidence to be silent.  

So much can happen for us as individuals and as a community when we just stop, breathe, and connect.  It is that easy. 

Please check the ”Calendar” section of the site to check for locations and times.   I look forward to seeing all of you this coming year.

With a warm heart,

Krista
