All of this:

What you love about me, and what you hate, has nothing to do with me, it’s YOUR perception.

It’s not personal. 🙏

This is how I stay sane while being very public.
grace.seol wrote about this the other day and I was so delighted to see someone else practicing what has kept me anchored for many years.

This awareness blossomed after years of practicing The Work of .katie.

It's very simple: everything you see in me is a projection. You can only know me based on your ideas of me.

My connection to myself is different from how I'm perceived by you.

My connection to myself and a sense of safety used to be deeply rooted in other's perception of me.

This meant no one could dislike me because, if they did, my self-connection and safety would implode.

When I started becoming recognized for my work I was in private practice in Woodstock, NY. I never had an Instagram page, any videos, or a podcast. I didn't even have a smart phone!

I felt very safe in my office with my clients and I wanted it to stay that way, but I was always devoted to teaching people how to heal and I followed whatever mysterious, divine path my work brought me to.

And it quickly brought my online in front of thousands and thousands of people.

The only way to survive this was to practice the reality that what you love about me, and what you hate about me, has nothing to do with me.

It's YOUR perception. That doesn't mean I'm not accountable with my actions.

My actions and how you perceive me are two different things. This happens in my course quite often.

I will pause people when they're sharing so we can go into the body and leave the mind. Some people love this and some HATE it.

I've even been accused of being racist, misogynist, and dominating because of it.

And I've never denied that I've done it - but I don't believe, internalize, or take personally what story you tell about me when I do it.

It's just that simple.

This keeps me sane, honest, and respectful to you my audience and my participants because I'm not trying to win you over by performing favorably.

I'm just showing up and letting you decide how you want to see me. I don't know a better way of living or loving.

Real awakenings will rip you wide open. It won’t be pretty, it will make you feel raw and even hopeless at times. It will empty you out so later it can poor real power into you. It will be ugly before it’s beautiful. 🦋💫

Awakenings tear us open.

“The realization of this deathless dimension, your true nature, is the other side of compassion. On a deep feeling-level, you now recognize not only your own immortality but through your own that of every other creature as well. On the level of form, you share mortality and the precariousness of existence. On the level of Being, you share eternal, radiant life. These are the two aspects of compassion. In compassion, the seemingly opposite feelings of sadness and joy merge into one and become transmuted into a deep inner peace. This is the peace of God. It is one of the most noble feelings that humans are capable of, and it has great healing and transformative power. But true compassion, as I have just described it, is as yet rare. To have deep empathy for the suffering of another being certainly requires a high degree of consciousness but represents only one side of compassion. It is not complete. True compassion goes beyond empathy or sympathy. It does not happen until sadness merges with joy, the joy of Being beyond form, the joy of eternal life.”

I wished we talked more openly about what it’s like to live in survival mode over and extended period of time. The Holistic Psychologist calls it a functional state of freeze and I think more of us are living in this mode then we want to admit.

Can you feel her coming? It’s seems we always get a cold snap around the Full Snow ❄️ Moon 🌕 in Leo ♌️. I can feel her energy infusing me while I sleep. Full moons bring to light what is unseen . . . What will she reveal to you? Leo has the courage of the lion 🦁 and the playfulness of child. 💫

"The most immediate way to experience being one with all is no longer arguing with whatever argues with you. This reveals oneness to not to be a heightened or altered state of consciousness, but your natural state of being that is instinctively void of any argument, conclusion, or comparison.

If this seems difficult to discover, simply ask yourself: “Does the breath ever argue?” If not, simply allow any need to argue, conclude, or compare to act as reminder to take a deep and cleansing breath. Perhaps you may even ask yourself, “Does listening ever argue?” If not, you can also allow any tendency to argue, conclude, or compare to remind you of the perfect moment when the act of listening can be the most powerful and transformative gift you can offer -- even in the presence of those who continue to argue, conclude and compare.

When slower breaths and deeper listening are choices you embrace, you begin to see how those who are lost in unconscious tendencies are only maintaining an aversion to the intimacy of love. As this is seen, you may come to realize how your willingness to listen more deeply and breathe more slowly delivers love into the hearts of those who have been taught to avoid the thing they crave the most. This is the heart of conscious action." - Matt Kahn

Sometimes it all has to fall apart for it for it all to come back together from a more evolved place. 🙏💫

Sometimes I forget that I don’t need to rely on just my own power, but I can tap into the power of my ancestors. They are always with us. 🙏🪶💫

It’s natural to out grow people along your evolutionary journey. 🙏💫

The Creator gathered all of creation and said, 'I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality.' The eagle said, 'Give it to me, I will take it to the moon.' The Creator said, 'No one day they will go there and find it.' The salmon said, 'I will hide it on the bottom of the ocean.' 'No, they will go there too.' The buffalo said, 'I will bury it on the great plains.' The Creator said, 'They will cut into the skin of the earth and find it.' Then Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes, said: 'Put it inside them.' And the Creator said, 'It is done.'
