In Louise Hay's "You Can Heal Your Life" book, she lists anemia as the following mental/emotional cause: A "Yes-but” attitude. Lack of joy. Fear of life. Not feeling good enough.

To heal, she suggests a new thought pattern and affirmation: “It is safe for me to experience joy in every area of my life. I love life.” Next, it's all about living it "as if."

Feeling a lack of vital energy (whether anemic or otherwise) is so frustrating, so how can you access joy and live “as if” when you’re feeling exhausted and frustrated?

I like to create lots of mini-retreats from myself.

First, I find a beautiful space like a not-so crowded coffee shop, where I can do something that I love (i.e. creative writing). Here’s a pic of a cute one in Niwot, CO. This one cues safety to my nervous system with the nice artwork and natural light that permeates through the space.

Second, connect with a friend—particularly one who smiles! Here is a pic of my friend Urszula (big smile!) in that same coffee shop. Bonus: We met to plan our upcoming Fall Equinox Retreat and found that we complement each other so well that it’s a lot of fun. It does not feel like work at all!

Third, go for a walk in nature. Here’s some pics of me leading Urszula on a Land Listening Walk on a 2-hour leisurely stroll along some trails in Niwot. Participants enrolled in our retreat will be invited to participate in this guided walk designed to calm the nervous system to the point where it’s easier to receive messages from your inner wisdom. I love how open she was to giving it a try and it was so cool to hear the message that came through. I participated too and will share mine in the comments. Bonus: Bring an easy-going dog (I brought a cute one that I happened to be sitting for).

After reading this, do you think creating a mini-retreat for yourself would feel joyful? If so, I’d love to know how the ideas above inspired you to give it a go!

Also - If you’d like to learn more about our upcoming Fall Equinox Retreat in Niwot, write “It’s safe for me to experience joy in every area of my life. I love life” in the comments and I’ll send more details.

This was one of my favorite restaurants from my travels this summer. It's in Durango, CO. I'll share why it was my favorite with a writing prompt below from my upcoming 20-Day Gratitude Challenge to reclaim your vital energy and manifest your dreams in 2024.

For Day 1 of the challenge, I invite participants to go out to eat/coffee, or prepare a meal at home, then notice their surroundings before they continue with the following prompt:

"I am so grateful for..."

My response: the outside seating shaded from the summer sun, for the locally grown, wild harvest and living foods (from your farm) lunch that was colorful and nourishing with a sweet at the end, for the celery-apply juice that was served after I sat myself at the table to enjoy while I waited to be served a meal that felt lovingly prepared and different each time I visited, for the farmers and chefs, for the flowers, placemats and water jugs that reminded me of granny's meals served on the patio, for the donation-based model (as a non-profit) with a volunteer for lunch exchange option and the sustainable practices that helps me see what is possible for more restaurants, for the smiles on the servers...

There is so much more that I could be grateful for from this environment and meal, but it's enough to reveal what I truly value: beauty, fresh and vital foods, natural setting, smiles, ceremonial-type of feeling/setting for connection, receiving the gift of someone else cooking a nourishing meal, community-oriented focus...

And this reveals what I need and helps me to choose the environments I want to spend time in, and the food that I want to put in my body.

Does this resonate with you? Would you like to reveal the environments, relationships and experiences that you want to bring into 2024 through a gratitude practice? If so, send a DM for more info. or comment below.

I wrote this while on a Maui beach and wanted to use it to express my gratitude for all of my followers and friends.

Speaking of gratitude...

One of my mentors, Martha Beck, once said that the brain can't hold fear and gratitude (or love, or beauty) at the same time, so I remembered her words during those moments when I felt stuck in fear and uncertainty during my recent travels in the Hawaiian islands.

Sometimes I would tune into the fear, or the part of me that feared I needed protection, so it could feel heard and I could help it see that it could better serve me by taking on a more supportive, advisory, and encouraging role.

At other times, I made the conscious choice to connect with the frequency of gratitude (whether I expressed it silently to myself and Spirit, or aloud to others), which helped me connect to the present moment and enjoy it!

I found it to be so helpful in keeping myself in a state of flow (vs. stuck) that I felt inspired to create a 20-Day Gratitude Challenge for those who want to reclaim their vital energy and envision their most expansive dreams for 2024…and you’re invited!

Aligning with the frequency of gratitude on a daily basis can help you feel safe in your body, which then makes it easier to receive inspiration and all of the abundance that is available to you—so in this 20-Day Challenge, you’ll have an opportunity to complete a daily writing prompt, or experience, that uses gratitude to:

* Reveal the environments, relationships, and experiences that will support reclaiming your vital energy, and manifesting your most expansive dreams in 2024.
* Gain clarity on what you are passionate about, what you have to offer, and the way in which you share your gifts with others, so you can focus your energy on what matters most and enjoy the journey.

This challenge is FREE to anyone who joins my “Reclaim Your Vital Energy” community (where you'll receive encouragement and access to webinars and savings on my coaching) so let’s start off 2024 with this intentional practice! See link in the comments to join.

I took this photo in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. I don't know the name of the artist who painted this mural, but I love how it depicts portals of light (my interpretation) emanating from each Hawaiian island. The question I asked myself was whether these portals benefit those who come in contact with them, or whether they are activated by those who come in contact with them, or both?

My hunch is that it's a bit of both. It's a relationship between place and person. I can choose to visit such places, and I can choose to remain in my power (or shift back into it) and radiate light in those places.

If you are not feeling very lively these days, and not sure how you can make the following shifts on your own, I've got you!

* From frustrating physical symptoms to relief
* From overwhelm and anxiety to peace and empowered excitement
* From confusion to clarity about the environments, relationships and experiences that align with your most expansive dreams
* From exhaustion to energy to take action

I'm offering new clients (and existing clients who book a session by end of January 2024), 50% off of a personalized 1-1 transformative session ($99, from $199).

I'm calling these sessions "Energy Shift Sessions" and while each is customized to your needs and intention, here's a bit about what you can expect:

* Clarity on a powerful intention to start 2024
* Tuning into the tension in your body (whether you are aware of it currently, or not) so you can release a pattern of protection that is draining your energy. You'll then be able to experience relief from the tension.
* Tuning into the part of you that has not felt safe to express, but is a gift (e.g., joy, vocal expression...) and listening deeply to what this part needs in order for that power to return.
* Clarity on a next step, with validation from your body that it's in alignment with your purpose.
* A Whole-Self Wisdom meditation that you can use anytime you are feeling blocked and want clarity on your next steps.
* If requested, I will record this session (Zoom) for your future reference).
Can you imagine what the world would look like if all of the energetically sensitive beings out there could reclaim their vital energy?

Testimonial:

"Before working with Kelly, I felt unfulfilled and trapped in my job. After our time together, I felt as though the shackles had come off and I began to recognize my authentic gifts. I now feel empowered to look at a variety of options to support myself. The work was deep and intense at times as Kelly created a safe space for grief to flow and to work through some of my insecurities. I experienced tremendous relief as some of the energy I’d been holding onto for almost 30 years released and more of my true self came forward."

- De DeHerrera

Happy Holidays! Seeing you in your strength and light!

Have you ever felt stumped by a problem, or confused about a next step, and then walked outside to clear your mind and the solution, or ideal course of action, suddenly became clear? That’s sort of what it’s like to attend a Land Listening walk, or hike.

So fun to share more about "Land Listening" with my friend and animal communicator Tracy Pierce. See link in comments (to YouTube) to check it out, or on your favorite podcast platform!

Here's a brief intro:

As a Transformational Coach, Shamanic Practitioner, Tension & Trauma Release Exercise (TRE) Provider, Reiki Master, poet and author, each event is an extension of her creative expression and passion for supporting empathic women as they recover their energy after unsupportive relationships.

When Maria shared how moved parishioners at her church were when she played the Hawaiian music and guided them through a few simple steps and hand motions of hula, I wasn't surprised.

My hunch is that many indigenous languages (as will as Tai Chi and Qigong) are light languages—through gestures and use of vowels (toning) they activate the energy centers (chakras) and the circuit of the vagus nerve (from diaphragm up) that can shift us out of stress and anxiety and into a state of relaxation and connection.

As a singer, musician, body-based vocal coach, and former resident of Hawaii, I asked Maria to join me for a gathering where we could not only support residents of Maui after the fires through donations, but gather women together who also want to experience that state of connection with themselves and amongst a supportive community.

So, if this resonates with you, and you're in the Boulder County area, please join us for an afternoon/eve to experience the Hawaiian culture through movement, music, some self-discovery, and a potluck on September 17th at a beautiful mountain-view property in Hygiene, CO.

Could you use some tension and stress relief, and/or some clarity on where to focus your attention, while feeling supported in community?

Many of us are feeling the pressures of modern life—shifting our nervous systems into states of defense which affects our ability to see the possibilities, to clarify what is ours to know, and do, and to support each other during such times.

Fortunately, when two or more are gathered while radiating unconditionally loving energy (which we will give to ourselves), each counterbalances 750,000 people that are identified with lower frequencies of fear, anger, shame, etc. In other words, shifting our own energy is a powerful way to support the changes we are all experiencing.

Please join Kelly C. Mullen, shamanic practitioner, Tension Release Exercise (TRE®) provider, and owner of Whole-Self Wisdom, for an opportunity to gather together to envision a new way of being that celebrates beauty, and the abundance that comes with a community living in peace (through the shamanic journey), and prepare ourselves by releasing what tenses us up and is no longer serving us (with TRE®).

Here's a Monday Mantra you can use—especially when you notice you're feeling powerless, or unsafe, in certain circumstances.

"I let the light of Source energy flow into my heart and radiate out, beyond my body."

If I recall, this poem (excerpt in pic) was inspired by mind-body coaching session where I shared my fears around taking on others' energy during stressful situations. My coach likely asked me where I was feeling tension in my body, and I found it in my face. She then prompted me to be with the sensations, and use my imagination to see if an image came into my minds-eye. That's when I saw the red mask, made of red wax.

If I took it off, my inner wisdom said I could experience more of my superpowers—being able to tune into others' emotions and memories—which is a helpful ability to have when coaching/facilitating healing experiences. My coach asked if it could be removed from my face, but I sensed that it didn't want to come off (suction). She then asked about its purpose which revealed that it represented the limiting beliefs and social conditioning that protected me from expressing my authentic self—and risk feeling hurt, not accepted, etc.

Continuing with the session, we unraveled the limiting beliefs and Radiate Woman made an appearance. She reminded me that rather than empathing all of the energy in my environment within my body (and triggering the protection of the red mask), I could choose to radiate light from might heart, transmuting the energy beyond my body.

I found healing experiences like this to be so poetic. That's why I wrote them down, and one day, realized I had a book! If you'd like to see how this poem unfolds, check it out. It's called, "Just Write the Book of Poems and I'll Find You: An Empath's Unconventional Journey to Experience Connection." 'll post the link in the comments.

A poem for Inspirational Sunday...

This poem (excerpt in pic) was inspired by a mind-body coaching session where I shared with my coach that various logistics I'd planned for my first retreat had to be changed, and all of the changes had created some anxiety. She pointed out that indeed they would be confusing—to the mind.

As we do in mind-body coaching, she prompted me to connect with the sensations in my body and tune into another message. It turned out that I was being divinely guided to have some faith.

What kind of changes are you experiencing? What if they were okay? What if you felt divinely guided along the way? Would you have more faith? How would that faith feel in your body? What actions might you take from that feeling state?

Most everyone is experiencing some kind of stress, or anxiety these days. So much is changing. If you'd like some support relaxing the mind and tuning into your inner wisdom's guidance (or even a spirit guide's), feel free to reach out. I offer a free discovery call to learn what you're wanting to bring into your life, what seems to be getting in the way, and reviewing some choices that resonate most to you. (No obligation to invest further).

And...if you want to see how the poem unfolds, check out my book, "Just Write the Book of Poems and I'll Find You: An Empath's Unconventional Healing Journey to Experience Connection." I'll post a link to it in the comments.

Here's a Monday Mantra you can use—especially when you notice that you're focusing a lot of your attention on the "problems" of the day.

"I honor, embrace, and embody Divine Feminine energy."

This poem (excerpt in pic) was inspired by a holistic pelvic care session. In the poem, I share my vision for a new health care system and my experience in the space and with the practitioner included several elements that I would like to see more of in conventional care. For example, when I walked into the space, there was an apothecary with all sorts of medicinal herbs and books, and crystals. I was greeted by a woman who asked if I would like some tea while the practitioner was still setting up the room. Can you imagine this when you go to the doc office? The smell of tea, calming music, plants, a welcoming smile? How might your nervous system respond in that space, with those cues?

I actually get into a few ideas throughout the poem, but what is most important to me is captured here in this excerpt. During the session, the practitioner empowered me to tune into my inner wisdom, then invited me to see my o***y (the left one, representing my feminine energy) in its wholeness and to ask what it needed from that perspective.

I loved that. Our Whole-Self can offer the insights, we just need to be asked. Can you imagine if you were experiencing a health concern, but the practitioner only saw you in your wholeness—totally empowered to create the change (story) you want to create? It's a higher frequency (truth) than focusing so much attention on the "problem."

Can you imagine creating a vision for a new health care system, rather than focusing on the problems within it? What if you saw the system (or your experience) in an ideal scenario, and then from that perspective, asked yourself what was needed?

My hunch is that an injection of Divine Feminine energy (that all genders embody) is needed to create a bit more balance with Divine Masculine energy (that all genders embody).

If you'd like to see how this poem unfolds, check out my book "Just Write the Book of Poems and I'll Find You: An Empath's Unconventional Healing Journey to Experience Connection." I'll post the link in the comments.

A poem for Inspirational Sunday...

This poem (excerpt in pic) was inspired by a breathwork session I participated in almost 10 years ago. As I started breathing in and out through my mouth, all sorts of images showed up—starting with three-year-old me who thought it was not safe to play.

This is such a common theme among empaths (those who can feel others' emotions as if they are their own). In fact, I remember learning about the importance play (and resting when you don't feel like playing) in a class with my mind-body coaching teacher. I mentioned to her that I had a hard time coming up with ideas for what fun would look like, and it turned out that I was not the only one who felt that way. She had a great suggestion for us—one that I share with my clients to this day: Create a post on Facebook and ask your friends to post an activity that would be fun. I was surprised at how many responses came back that were actually quite childlike. I remember that one person suggested a slip and slide. Another facebook friend suggested getting a coloring book, while another thought a nearby swing set would be the way to go.

When I think about these responses, they actually all make sense: our younger selves intuitively know how to have fun. We come in with the gift of play, but it can get lost for a time. Fortunately, I reached out for a breathwork session, where the part of me that knew how to play came back. After that, the lion appeared encouraging me to keep writing—cuz it's fun!

If you want to see how this poem unfolds, check out my book "Just Write the Book of Poems and I'll Find You: An Empath's Unconventional Healing Journey to Experience Connection." I'll post the link in the comments.
