<p>Today I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 11 of the Virtual Blog Tour of author <em><strong>Kimberly Coots</strong></em> whose book<em> <strong>DIVINE WORTH &#8211; Break the Bonds of Unworthiness and Create the Life You Desire! </strong></em>launches on Amazon on Tuesday May 24, 2011.</p>
<p>Author Kimberly Ann Coots is a transformational life coach, business development coach and speaker. Her passion is to help shift humanity&#8217;s consciousness from fear, lack and separation, to love, connection and abundance. Through her coaching, courses, speaking and books, Kimberly is a guide to transforming unworthiness conditioning, stepping into your power and living a life you love. She is certified in many holistic and spiritual modalities. She has been ordained as a Spiritual Peace Minister by James Twyman, is a certified Reconnection Healer by Dr. Eric Pearl and is a Facilitator for the Seminary of Spiritual Peacemaking. As a successful business development specialist, Kimberly also helps entrepreneurs make a profit and a difference.</p>
<p>Yesterday, Kimberly visited Paula Tarrant at <a href="http://inspiredwomenwork.com/embracing-your-divine-worth/">http://inspiredwomenwork.com/embracing-your-divine-worth/</a> where she answered about #1 cause of unworthiness amongst women, undoing the patterns of unworthiness and subtle ways unworthiness shows up.</p>
<p>Today, I’d like to share with you a recent BlogTalkRadio interview I had with Kimberly, where she talked about her book Divine Worth and her personal journey overcoming depression and family history of addiction. I hope you enjoy it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>How Executive Coach Patrick J Ryan helps you stand out in the crowd<br />
by Lynn Serafinn</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Patrick J Ryan" src="http://www.awakenedwisdom.com/images/database/98.jpg" alt="" width="137" height="154" />Join Patrick and Lynn this Thursday April 28th for a <a href="http://www.awakenedwisdom.com/Public/Webinars/20110421/index.cfm">superb FREE webinar on how to help your clients access &#8216;mind intelligence</a>.&#8217; Audio download available. </em></strong></p>
<p>Life coaching, business coaching, executive coaching, transformation coaching, career coaching, creativity coaching, health coaching…the list is endless.</p>
<p>Over the past 20 years, the rise of coaching as a profession has been nothing short of a phenomenon. It&#8217;s virtually impossible to estimate the number of coaches now on the planet, but my guess it is now in the hundreds of thousands if not more. Business coaching has been cited as one of the fastest growing professions in the world today. But the shocking news is that, according to a survey done a few years ago, a massive 70% of coaches earn less than $25,000 a year, and 50% earn less than $10,000 annually.<sup>1</sup></p>
<p>The vast majority of coaches enter into the profession with the dream of making a difference in the world and aren’t really thinking about money… or at least not until we find ourselves struggling to stay afloat, especially in the first year in business. Then, all the wonderful dreams we had about changing the world seem to fade as we go into survival mode, which isn&#8217;t at all helpful to our effectiveness as coaches. Those of us who manage to make it through the economic challenges of the first two years in practice then find ourselves with an even more complex challenge: &#8220;There are coaches, coaches everywhere. How do I stand out from the crowd? What makes ME special?&#8221;</p>
<p>To me, the answer to that is in two parts.</p>
<p>First, we stand out from the crowd when we are really and truly <strong>clear about the impact we want to create</strong> in the world, and (even more importantly) <strong><em>who</em></strong><em> </em>we wish to impact<strong>.</strong> Some call this defining a niche. I call it &#8220;branding&#8221; or identifying your &#8220;tribe.&#8221; This is an organic process, and sometimes it takes a few years in practice to really land it. It&#8217;s a major part of the work I do with my own clients.</p>
<p><strong>The second part is the <em>depth and</em> <em>uniqueness</em> of your skills.</strong> If you have gone through coach training and know how to ask good questions, that&#8217;s one thing; but how do you <em>really</em> make an impact on your clients? And how do you stand out as someone who goes deeper, and more powerfully, than the average &#8220;Joe Coach&#8221;? In other words, how do we help our clients to <strong>open up their own wisdom</strong> in profound ways they never thought possible before?</p>
<p>I have the great good fortune to have worked with an exceptional coach named <strong>Patrick J Ryan.</strong> If you follow my newsletters, you will recognise Patrick&#8217;s name as the author of the #1 bestselling spirituality book <em>Awakened Wisdom: A Guide to Claiming Your Brilliance, </em>which I launched for him one year ago this month<em>.</em> Patrick is a remarkable man, with a remarkable history and an even more remarkable insight. His brand of coaching sparkles amidst the rest because his style of coaching IS different. The cornerstone of his technique is what he calls &#8220;The Three Intelligences&#8221;: &#8220;Mind intelligence&#8221;, &#8220;Heart Intelligence&#8221; and &#8220;Body Intelligence.&#8221; When he coaches, he shows his clients how to recognise, read and utilise these three intelligences so they can accomplish what they want in the world while having the best possible experience. In other words, he really helps them learn how to find their Joy.</p>
<p>Patrick&#8217;s coaching methods are both simple and profound. In the past I&#8217;ve had the great pleasure of learning his techniques for my own use, but I am delighted say that he has now also developed a training program, called the AWE Coach Training program (ACT). This exceptional 10 week course is designed for coaches, holistic therapists, teachers, counsellors and any kind of service professionals who wish to learn how to support their clients in REALLY getting to the core of who they are and what makes them feel alive.</p>
<p>To give you a taster of what it&#8217;s all about, Patrick and I will be hosting <strong>3 FR*EE webinars </strong>over the next few weeks, where you will learn the basics of the system, so you can start trying it out in your own life AND with your clients, so you can see for yourself what a powerful impact it can make, and how it can make you stand out in the crowd:</p>

<p>Author Tina M Games is certified creativity and life purpose coach. She calls herself the &#8220;Moonlight Muse&#8221; for women who want to tap into the &#8220;full moon within&#8221; and claim their authentic self, both personally and professionally. Through her signature coaching programs, based on the phases of the moon, Tina gently guides women from darkness to light as they create an authentic vision filled with purpose, passion and creative expression.</p>
<p>Yesterday, Tina had a podcast interview with Yvonne Perry where you can listen to it at <a href="http://writersinthesky.blogspot.com/">http://writersinthesky.blogspot.com</a>.</p>
<p>Today, I&#8217;d like to share a recent radio interview I had with Tina on BlogTalkRadio. It&#8217;s a particularly lovely interview because we spoke about the natural transitions that occur throughout our lives, especially as women. Tina spoke candidly and poignantly about her challenges with post partum depression, and I shared also the impact my mother&#8217;s post partum depression had made upon me when growing up. We also spoke about natural transitions such as becoming a grandmother, going through menopause, moving to a new home and many other facets of life.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever battled with emotional ups and downs when going through a transition in your life (we were talking mainly about women, be really the conversation is just as relevant to men) and wondered whether or not there was something &#8220;wrong&#8221; with you, have a listen to this interview. Tina&#8217;s unique outlook on the natural progression of life, and her use of the metaphor of the cycles of the moon to help us understand these progressions, is refreshing and uplifting <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/lynn-serafinn/2011/04/20/ep103--journaling-by-the-moonlight-with-tina-m-games" target="_blank"><em>(if the flash player does not appear on your screen, click HERE to listen to the broadcast on BlogTalkRadio)</em></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Dr Roy Martina" src="http://emotionalbalance.com/book-launch/images/roymartina.png" alt="" width="150" height="149" />Today I have the great pleasure of being the host on Day 7 of the Virtual Blog Tour of <strong>Hay House author Dr Roy Martina</strong>, whose book <strong><em>Emotional Balan6ce: the path to inner peace and harmony</em> </strong>comes to Amazon on Tuesday March 15, 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Roy Martina</strong> is a holistic medical doctor with over 30 years experience helping people tap into their true selves and “cure the incurable” by understanding the connection between emotional balance and dis-ease. He is the author of over 40 books in Dutch and other languages. He has spent the last 25 years studying acupuncture and numerous holistic techniques in order to offer people a profound level of healing, and he has been tireless in his pursuit of methods that work swiftly and effectively to aid the healing process. This work has put him at the leading edge of the holistic and self-help world.</p>
<p>Yesterday, Roy visited Tambra Harck where he talked about shifting perspective of helplessness and victimhood, respecting our body and the abstract of energy is knowing.  To visit that &#8220;stop&#8221; on the tour, go to <a href="http://theartofwellbeing.typepad.com/the_art_of_wellbeing/2011/02/emotional-balance.html">http://theartofwellbeing.typepad.com/the_art_of_wellbeing/2011/02/emotional-balance.html</a></p>
<p>Today, I&#8217;d like to share with you a recent interview I had with Roy when I got to ask him on questions relating to personal and social transformation.  I hope you enjoy it.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><strong>Lynn Serafinn:</strong> In your experience, what are some of the common misunderstandings people have about the term &#8220;personal transformation&#8221;? What is the actual meaning?</p>
<p><strong>Roy Martina:</strong> From my medical holistic standpoint, personal transformation can be disease forming. If someone believes that they need to be in their power and be able to do what they want, this can lead to suppression of emotions and thus be the cause of suppression of the immune system. My research shows that the only way to transform is to return to your authentic self because that is the state of being where there is no conflict between whom you are and the false image you create of yourself.</p>
<p>Many schools of personal transformation help people create a false persona they need to become and give them the tools to program their brains to be in that state. Often these pathways are immune depressing and cause many types of diseases. I have treated many leaders of motivation movements and self-development and understood that when we do not find the way to our authentic self we step into false power beliefs that make us sick. Personal transformation is the path of unlearning the beliefs that take us away from our unconditional loving authentic self.</p>
<p><strong>Lynn Serafinn:</strong> What are the top 3 most important keys to help us transform? How can we access them?</p>
<p><strong>Roy Martina:</strong> The most important 3 keys:</p>
<p><strong>1. Become aware </strong>when you are not connected with your      Authentic Self. You will notice because you are not at peace, you don’t      feel happy and you take things personal and that creates stress)</p>
<p><strong>2. The next step is </strong><strong>to have the power or tool to let go</strong> of where you are and to      find a way to return to inner peace and harmony. So the idea is that you      step out of the turmoil, reconnect and from that still point look at the      whole situation again but now through the eyes of the Authentic Self and      discover the power of the subconscious mind and the false self-image.<br />
<strong>3. The third step is to train your nervous system</strong> through      exercises like Emotional Balance to become at ease to maintain the still      point and to make choices from this power. And let go anything from the      past experiences and education that block you to keep that power of      authenticity.</p>
<p><strong>Lynn Serafinn:</strong> There is so much talk today about conscious evolution, especially with all the 2012 &#8220;hype&#8221; in the media. What&#8217;s your personal stance on conscious evolution? What is it? Is it really happening? Where do you think humanity is headed?</p>
<p><strong>Roy Martina:</strong> I am seeing the increase of the effects of conscious evolution in the media (TV programs, magazines, movies, social media, books, etc) but what is lacking is the <strong><em>subconscious evolution.</em></strong> In spiritual groups I see that most people are aware how they want to be, but when they get stressed, they fall back in subconscious patterns of jealousy, fear, anger and worries. Many struggle financially and do not really know how to make the law of attraction work for them even though consciously they understand. So we are heading in the right direction but have to shift <strong>from conscious to subconscious evolution</strong>. 2012 is a great moment in history because we make it so by the hype, so now it has become inevitable a tipping point for the better or the worse. Only history will tell.</p>
<p><strong>Lynn Serafinn: </strong>If you could use your healing process to shift one thing in humanity, what would that be? How can we as a society begin this process together?</p>
<p><strong>Roy Martina: </strong>The big shift that needs to happen is that most the so called ‘holistic therapists’ need to stop calling themselves &#8216;holistic&#8217; (because they are not) and start to study <em>true</em> holistic healing. The biggest shift is when we learn to forgive and to let go the past and focus on opening our hearts. The power of healing begins not with loving oneself because that is impossible. To say &#8216;I love myself&#8217; is an enigmatic paradox: who is the I and who is the self? If the “I” is pure love how can it NOT love itself? If the self is the human form why does it need to be loved if it is held together by love (itself)? We need to become the authentic expression of ourselves and that is the expression of love.</p>
<p>If we can make that shift in healing, we will learn that all that we resist in life is the cause of disease. Stop the resistance to express your Authentic Self and you become the source of healing of the human self (your body, mind and soul) and others.</p>

Once upon a time there was a caterpillar. She crawled upon the ground, very low to the Earth. Most of the time, her head was down, looking at where she was walking or what she was eating. Sometimes, she became daring and would climb very tall trees as high as she could go. When she got there, she found herself in a canopy of rich green leaves, full of deliciousness that filled her belly. But never did she see what was above that thick green canopy. Little did she know that beyond her tiny but sensual world lay a vast, wide sky of blue and unlimited worlds that stretched out into infinity.</p>
<p>Then, one day something started happening to her. She couldn&#8217;t understand why she began to feel so different. She grew tired of climbing, tired of eating, tired of moving about in her little world. All she wanted was to retreat into a world of dreams, but she didn’t know what that meant, or why she felt so called into slumber. She started to slow down. She wanted to get rid of all she had been carrying around with her. She found a cosy place for herself, and allowed the fuzzy black and green skin which she had always identified as her body to slip away until all that was left was a formless goo!</p>
<p>She felt confused. She didn&#8217;t feel like her old self anymore, but she wasn&#8217;t yet sure of who (or what) she was. But trusting a still somewhat unfamiliar intuition that told her it was time now to go inward and do the work of transformation, she simply allowed whatever the World had in mind for her without resistance.</p>
<p>Soon, she was deep in slumber. The formless goo hardened into a protective home for her, and she began to dream. All sorts of strange dreams she had while in that magical slumber! She saw herself rising up above the rich green canopy of her former existence to find something she found both exciting and terrifying. There were colours she had never seen before—with brightness and warmth that were beyond her wildest imaginings.</p>
<p>And then, in her dream, she felt herself start to <em>rise above the world below.</em> As her heart pounded, she felt the wind against her legs—<em>no!</em>—it was not her legs she felt but something altogether different! What were these strange and beautiful new arms had she grow? So full of colour! So light and wide-spreading!</p>
<p>As she allowed the updraft of the wind pull her into that bright expanse above her, she heard it whisper in her ear: <em>&#8220;These are your wings so you can fly into the great blue sky.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Day in and day out, these dreams became more and more vivid. She became enthralled by them, and was simultaneously both charmed and afraid of her own beauty and power in these dreams.</p>
<p><em>Who AM I?</em> the caterpillar wondered. <em>On the one hand, I don&#8217;t feel like myself anymore. But on the other hand, I feel more like myself than I did before. What is happening? &#8230;.<br />
</em></p>

<p>Every living entity experiences pain in their lives. But what exactly <em>is</em> pain? Why do we have it? How does it affect us? How can we overcome the distress it causes?</p>
<p>The term &#8220;Pain Body&#8221; is a term you might have read in many of today&#8217;s popular books on physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Most notably, world renowned spiritual author and teacher Eckhart Tolle uses the term in his classic books <em>The Power of Now </em>and<em> A New Earth. </em>But in spite of the widespread use of the term, very few people know exactly what the &#8220;Pain Body&#8221; is. Even fewer know how we can release its grip upon us.</p>
<p>International bestselling author and holistic healer Luis Angel Diaz has been working with pain for more than 20 years, and has developed a technique called &#8220;Pain Body Release&#8221; (PBR), which is part of his extensive system of healing called &#8220;Cellular Memory Release&#8221; (CMR). On Tuesday November 30th, you have the opportunity to attend a FREE online class from Luis:</p>

<ul>
<li>How does the Pain Body affect our lives, physically, emotionally      and spiritually?</li>

<li>How can we overcome fear and anxiety?</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="pins and needles" src="http://spiritauthors.com/images/123rf/pins-and-needles-purple-cushion.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="195" /></em>Did you ever sit on the floor for too long and your leg went numb? Remember that horrible feeling you got when you stood up? At first, you don&#8217;t even feel your leg and your leg might wobble (or even collapse) underneath you. That happened to me on more than one occasion in India after having sat on a marble floor for several hours listening to a lecture. I had to get used to the locals laughing at me whenever they saw this western woman in a badly-wrapped sari fall over her own two feet for no apparent reason!</p>
<p>But once you&#8217;ve made it through the wobble, something else starts to happen—the dreaded &#8220;pins and needles&#8221; sensation as the blood starts to flow again in your legs. It feels absolutely horrible at first, and there is an overwhelming urge to sit back down on your leg and make it go &#8220;dead&#8221; again. But we know this is the worst thing we can do. We know the blood has to start flowing again. We know that the &#8220;pins and needles&#8221; is the signal that our leg is returning to its healthy state, where the leg recovers from its numbness, and we are again able to feel it and use it fully and effortlessly. We know it is necessary to feel the wobble and the pain (and maybe even the falling and the humiliation!) before we can move forward.</p>
<p>The interesting thing is, our emotional world works in exactly the same way, but for some reason, many of us do not respond to our emotions the same way we respond to our leg. Let me explain.</p>
<p>Emotions get &#8220;blocked&#8221; within us in exactly the same way the blood in our leg gets block—we &#8220;sit&#8221; on them and do not allow them to flow. And just like our legs, when we sit on our emotions, we go &#8220;numb&#8221;. We become detached and desensitized to our own feelings, as well as to the feelings of others. In extreme cases, we become incapable of connecting at an intimate level with anyone, what to speak of ourselves. Many of us can go on for years—decades—with blocked emotions.</p>
<p>When something shakes us up from our &#8220;numb&#8221; state, it is very similar to what happens when we first stand up on our &#8220;dead&#8221; leg. We wobble. We might even stumble. We have been hiding our emotions from others for so long, that when we start to allow them to be seen, our world starts to rock. People might not recognise or relate to us anymore, and because we fear losing them, we might try to convince ourselves to return to our familiar, stuck, numb place. We might also quite possibly become afraid of what we intuitively know is coming next—the &#8220;pins and needles&#8221;. This is the stage where sensation is returning to us. And just like pins and needles in our legs, it probably doesn&#8217;t feel particularly nice. We might experience an avalanche of confusing emotions like humiliation, shame, grief, anger, blame and fear. And being inexperienced with these emotions, having been cut off from them for so long, we might not know what to do with them or how to process them in a constructive way.</p>
<p>Now, if we were to sit our leg for decades, you can be pretty sure we would render it permanently useless, and it would be unlikely to heal. But the wonderful thing about emotions is that, even those that have been stuck for most of our lives can come back to life—if we can stay with the &#8220;pins and needles&#8221; long enough to allow the &#8220;flow&#8221; to come back into our feelings, without succumbing to the urge to jump back in the box of our numbness.</p>
<p>And just as how the end of the &#8220;pins and needles&#8221; stage restores full sensation and mobility to you leg, making it to the other side of your emotional pins and needles brings you into full sensation, which leads to flow at a heart and soul level. In both the leg and our emotions, feeling is the doorway to healing, and healing is the doorway to transformation.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Luis Angel Diaz" src="http://spiritauthors.com/images/JVPs/Luis-Angel-Diaz-large.jpeg" alt="" width="200" height="200" />And while the above analogy is my own, the essence of this story is the fundamental principle of the book <strong><em><a href="http://www.cellularmemory.org/landing/memory-in-the-cells-prelaunch.html">Memory in the Cells: how to change behavioral patterns and release the pain body</a></em></strong> by my client and good friend Luis Angel Diaz. The book teaches both the theory and the practical methodology of what Luis calls &#8220;Cellular Memory Release&#8221; (CMR), where you learn how to FEEL your emotions at a deep level, not only for the purpose of healing old wounds, but also of transforming them so your life is full of awareness, sensation, aliveness and flow.</p>
<p>As Luis puts it, &#8220;It is about transforming the &#8216;Pain Body&#8217; into the &#8216;Joy Body.&#8217;</p>
<p><strong><em><a href="http://www.cellularmemory.org/landing/memory-in-the-cells-prelaunch.html">Memory in the Cells</a></em></strong><strong> is coming to Amazon at exactly 12:01 AM Pacific THIS TUESDAY October 5th (yes, that&#8217;s TOMORROW, as I write this).</strong> In celebration of the release of his book, dozens of Luis&#8217; friends and colleagues have kindly donated a complete library of personal development gifts that you can download for free, when you buy the book <strong><em><a href="http://www.cellularmemory.org/landing/memory-in-the-cells-prelaunch.html">Memory in the Cells</a> </em></strong>on the day of its launch this week. I&#8217;m also giving away a free download (audio and text) of my mini-eCourse &#8220;Making Friends with the Monsters Under Your Bed.&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Memory in the Cells by Luis Diaz" src="http://virtualspiritualevents.com/images/launches/memory_in_cells.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="176" />To find out more about the book and the free gifts, and to see a video in which Luis talks about how he came to develop this method to help people learn how to deal with pain, go to: <a href="http://memoryinthecells.com/">http://memoryinthecells.com</a></p>
<p>AND… when you buy the book on Tuesday, Oct 5th, not only will you receive those free gifts, but you will also receive a <strong>special FR*EE 2-part LIVE online class</strong> with Luis himself, where he will take you through the CMR process, step-by-step.</p>
<p>This is not going to be another one of those self-help books that just sits on the shelf, unused. Luis is truly dedicated to sharing the information and practical tools in the book, and this free class is his way of showing that he &#8220;walks his talk.&#8221;</p>
<p>I hope you&#8217;ll join me in celebrating the release of this highly-practical, and truly healing, book by Luis Diaz. To buy the book on Tuesday October 5th, just go to <a href="http://memoryinthecells.com/">http://memoryinthecells.com</a>.</p>
<p>And then, I hope to see you on the fr*ee class a few weeks later.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1365" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Inner 8" src="http://lynnserafinn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Inner-8-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />In our modern society today, we as a culture spend enormous sums of money every year on our “healing” needs—from medicine and pharmaceuticals to alternative therapies of all kinds. We also spend millions on academic education. But rarely, if ever, do we spend money on educating ourselves on <em>how</em> to heal—especially emotionally.</p>
<p>My client, friend and colleague Luis Angel Diaz has written a book called <strong><em>Memory in the Cells: how to change behavioral patterns and release the pain body, </em></strong>which is coming out on Amazon on Tuesday October 5th. Luis’ work is ALL about emotional education: teaching people how to become more aware of the sensations locked within the cells of their bodies so they can understand what is really going on inside emotionally.</p>
<p>Luis feels this topic is so important he has organized a free 3-day online event called “Emotional Healing at a Cellular Level”, and has asked me to host the event. Together, we have brought together <strong>a panel of 7 guest speakers, </strong>including myself, who are passionate about helping others heal by teaching them how to become more aware and more sensitized in all aspects of their lives.</p>
<p>This special telesummit will take place on Mon Sept 27th, Tues Sept 28th and Wed Sept 29th at 12pm – 1.30pm Pacific (3pm – 4.30pm Eastern; 8pm – 9.30pm UK).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>To register for this FR*EE event, go to</strong></p>

</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Here’s a brief overview of the topics and guest line up:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Day 1: Monday September 27, 2010<br />
</strong><strong><em>The Power of Beliefs</em></strong><strong><br />
</strong>On Day 1, you’ll be hearing about <em>The Power of Beliefs</em>, and how our beliefs shape our feelings and emotions, which shape our behavior and life decisions. On that day, our special guests will be:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1337" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Question Marks" src="http://lynnserafinn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/3350488_s-212x300.jpg" alt="Question Marks" width="212" height="300" />Lynn Serafinn takes a look at the &#8220;2012 phenomenon&#8221; and tells you about a <a href="http://virtualspiritualevents.com" target="_blank">FREE event Sept 14-16 </a>where 9 leading authors and speakers discuss &#8220;the Shift&#8221; occurring on our planet today. </strong></em></p>
<hr />Throughout history there have been many prophecies about the “ending” times. I remember doing a history report when I was a teenager on the so-called “dark ages”, and I read about the apocalyptic panic that swept through parts of Europe as the calendar approached the “doomsday” date of January 1, 1000. While this might seem silly to some of us today, ironically, only a few years ago, millions of people were gripped by fear over the predicted “Y2K” catastrophe, or the “millennium bug”, which was supposed to wipe out global communications and commerce virtually overnight. I personally knew many people who were stock-piling food (and even weapons!), in anticipation of wide-spread civil war in the last few years of the 20th century.</p>
<p>Have a look for yourself. Google the term “end of the world predictions throughout history” and see how many amusing articles you will find on “failed” predictions, and how many times the world simply didn’t end.</p>
<p>Given all that experience, you would think our society would have given up on “end of the world as we know it” predictions, and take faith that, while the world is constantly in a state of flux and change, life moves onward regardless.</p>
<p>So why is it that nowadays people are getting all hyped up about the “2012” phenomenon?</p>
<p>By now, most of you know that the year 2012 (more specifically, the date of December 21, 2012) is the end of the Mayan calendar. Predictions of what might happen have been appearing in the media at both extremes of the spectrum, from catastrophic polar shifts to spontaneous ascension to a higher dimension. And amidst these extremes, my guess is there is a vast silent majority of people who believe December 21, 2012 will be a day just like any other and that life will simply move on as usual.</p>
<p>Personally, I do believe 2012 will be a year of change, but I believe this change will be a subtle conglomerate of all three of the above outlooks.</p>
<ul>
<li>While      I do not particularly think the Earth will roll over on its axis, I do see      unnatural shifts in the environment occurring around us, and humankind      seems to have had a hand in much of it. But then, amidst this environmental      imbalance, I also see thousands of grass-roots movements on the planet cropping      up who hold the core belief that we humans must re-establish our emotional      and spiritual connection with our planet.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I      see our economies collapsing, and again it is largely the result of our      own miscalculations and anxieties. But again, amidst this collapse, I see      people becoming immensely creative in developing new economic paradigms      that will change our world significantly in the coming generations.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>And      amidst all this environmental and economic upheaval, I also see a greater percentage      of the population becoming disheartened with the “old way” of leading      their lives, and seeking pathways to a higher Self and more integrated way      of being. In the workshops I have delivered over the past year, I see people      going further and reaching higher levels more quickly than in the past.      Whether this is “cosmological” or a purely social phenomenon doesn’t      really matter. The fact is, more and more people are becoming interested      in raising their own consciousness and cultivating their own personal      spirituality.</li>
</ul>
<p>I don’t believe the “end” is coming, but the world IS changing; and we are part of that great and wonderful change.</p>
<p>So what <em>really</em> lies ahead?</p>
<p>One of my spiritual author clients, <strong>Ms E.Dee Conrad,</strong> addresses this very question in her upcoming book <strong><em>A New Dawn Awaits</em>,</strong> which is coming to Amazon on Tuesday September 21st. To celebrate the launch of her book, E.Dee and I thought the topic was so compelling that we have coordinated <strong>a very special 3-day FREE online event with a great line-up of guest speakers. </strong>We would love for you to attend.</p>
<p>It’s called:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>“The Shift. The Message. The Transformation”</strong></p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Hunt      Henion,</strong> author of four books, including the bestseller, <em>Looking, Seeing &amp; Knowing</em></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 0px 10px;" title="Karen Maycey" src="http://spiritauthors.com/images/ezine/KarenMaycey.jpg" alt="Karen Maycey" width="158" height="108" /><strong>If you&#8217;re looking to reclaim your inner space this month, Karen&#8217;s luscious Walkingspirit Retreat runs June 26th to July 3rd in Tuscany, Italy. See full details at the end of this article to find out how to book and receive a discount as one of Lynn&#8217;s subscribers.</strong></em></p>
<p>When Karen Maycey (pictured above) changed careers to become a coach in 2005, she was asked a simple question: &#8220;What is your dream?&#8221; Karen replied quickly, saying, &#8220;My dream is to run a retreat in the mountains!&#8221;</p>
<p>She had first had this dream when she was working as a tour guide in the Austrian Alps. During that period of her life, Karen had a successful and exciting career as a guide for long haul and adventure holidays. She had taken groups to the Great Wall of China, through the US National Parks, and countless times through New Zealand and Australia. And throughout those times, she kept dreaming of creating her own retreat-not one that was defined by the tour companies that hired her-which would incorporate yoga, walking, being in inspirational surroundings in the mountains (her favourite place) and good quality home-cooked food.</p>
<p>But the fact she was so successful at her job actually proved to be a distraction to Karen, and over time this dream got somewhat forgotten.</p>
<p>But when her coaching trainers asked the question, &#8220;What is your dream?&#8221;, the dream reappeared. And this time, she knew her mountain retreat would also include coaching.</p>
<p>But while the picture of the dream became clearer in Karen&#8217;s mind, life took over, and once again the dream got pushed into the background of her life. She says, &#8220;The dream sort of &#8216;hung around&#8217; but it was semi-forgotten.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2006, Karen she met a man named Verran, who was at that time a marketing director of private company. Soon, the two became a couple. Like Karen, Verran loved the mountains and the great outdoors, but his job offered little opportunity to live his passion. He had a dream to start a new company that incorporated his love for the outdoors and his work with businesses. Karen encouraged and supported him to follow his heart, and Verran resigned from his job. He soon started a company called &#8220;Outside Insights&#8221;, where he works as a walking guide taking businesses into the outdoors for team building, problem solving and personal growth. But Karen&#8217;s own dream was still not yet manifesting,</p>
<p>Then, April 2007 she took a course called Awakened Wisdom with Patrick Ryan where one of the tasks was to create a &#8220;mandala&#8221; envisioning her dreams for the future and how she wanted to &#8220;be&#8221; in the world. Over and over again, the theme of retreats kept popping up, along with being open-hearted, tapping into cosmic love, being a shining star, and being a catalyst for change and an inspiration. She was inspired by the words of Marianne Williamson that spoke of allowing one&#8217;s light to shine, and that it didn&#8217;t serve anyone for her to hide away. In making this mandala, Karen knew it was time to start being that shining star.</p>
<p>Astonishingly, within weeks of coming to that realisation, she was called by a company called &#8220;The Big Stretch&#8221; for an interview, and was subsequently hired. &#8220;The Big Stretch&#8221; was very close to her dream, as every gave her the opportunity to lead personal development courses for small groups that involved a &#8220;full on&#8221; week of coaching and walking in mountains of Spain. She felt this new job &#8220;semi-satisfied&#8221; her dream, but the bigger dream was still on the back burner. But all of it was slowly building up to the experience she truly wanted to create, and helped to give her the confidence she could do it.</p>
<p>But then, things changed.</p>
<p>In May 2008, Karen noticed a lump in her left breast. Shortly thereafter she went for an operation and her first diagnosis. At age 37, Karen had grade-2 breast cancer.<br />
Karen was filled with shock and disbelief. How could she have cancer? She had always been so healthy and health conscious. She was young, fit, active, sporty and spent a lot of time outdoors. How could this happen?</p>
<p>But after the initial shock, she got down to dealing with the situation. After all, this was a matter of life and death. But Karen soon realised it was not so simple. She realised that deciding upon a treatment regime had to be something that matched her philosophy in life. Trusting her intuition, and frequently needing to hold true to her convictions in the face of advice she was receiving from her NHS doctors, Karen decided not to do chemotherapy, and embarked on a naturopathic route to healing. She felt her healing could only really happen if she worked in a way she herself believed.</p>
<p>Karen says, &#8220;I think what matters is that you believe in the choices you are making.&#8221;</p>
<p>She spent more than a year on an intense 5-hour a day regime that included detox and supplements, costing her thousands of pounds.</p>
<p>And all through the process, she kept saying to herself, &#8220;When I get better, I&#8217;ll do this or I&#8217;ll do that&#8221; But while her treatments seemed to be working well, and she began to look more healthy and vibrant than she did before the cancer, whenever her test results came back from the lab, the doctors never said, &#8220;Your cancer is gone forever.&#8221; Instead, they would always say, there is more work to do. It seemed like everything in her life was put &#8220;on hold&#8221; while she focussed on her cancer.</p>
<p>But then, over the Christmas holiday in 2009, things changed again.</p>
<p>She and Verran were on holiday on the La Vacchio farm in a valley in northern Italy. They spent many hours talking together about the experience of the past year and their vision for the future. Looking at the beautiful surroundings, Karen felt a shift within her. Suddenly, she realised how long she had been delaying her dream, year after year. But now she saw it was time to start living in the now. If she kept using other things as excuses to delay her dreams, they might never come true. And if she simply put her dreams on hold while she had cancer, she might even die before she had had the chance to live life fully.</p>
<p>In one instant, she shifted from a &#8216;When I get better then I&#8217;ll do&#8230;&#8221; attitude, to a &#8216;Go for it!&#8217; attitude. It was time to do her retreat&#8211;NOW.</p>
<p>And in the serendipitous fashion of the Universe, no sooner had she made this shift, the owners of the farm asked her and Verran if they would be interested in running a retreat on their farm! So all of a sudden they had their venue sorted, without any effort.<br />
Karen&#8217;s entire life has changed since then. She lives life fully and makes the most of every moment. She didn&#8217;t do this last year when she was focussing on her illness. There&#8217;s no more waiting for tomorrow, no matter what the situation might be&#8211;even when you have cancer.</p>
<p>So now, Karen wants to share her dream with the world. She says, &#8220;I&#8217;m really looking forward to showing others that self&#8211;indulgence&#8211;this lovely thing-is actually a gift for the sake of their happiness and health. I want people to have a gorgeous time reconnecting with nature and themselves, chilling out, and recharging their batteries.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What I want people to gain from the retreat is to know they matter&#8211;that they are important&#8211;and that they can choose their attitude in every moment. The retreat is an opportunity to kick-start loving life and to shift from deferring one&#8217;s dreams to being in now. The yoga, coaching, walking, wonderful food and beautiful surroundings will all bring that. It&#8217;s all about being in the present and going for what you want.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In a way, that&#8217;s the secret to life,&#8221; she adds.</p>
