See What is Truly Real

"When you learn to listen and see what is truly real, you will hear and see much more than your senses tell you."
- from Karen Kimball & the Dream Weaver's Web

News travels very quickly these days, and with so much shocking information moving from all points of the world faster than ever before, it's possible to feel a bit overwhelmed or even traumatized. There is a greater need than ever for each of us to make time to slow down, heighten our sense of true connection to nature and ourselves, and gain a deeper heartfelt understanding of what is truly real. Such a practice of mindfulness is recently being scientifically shown to help people respond to people and situations in the present moment, rather than being triggered to react.

The key to becoming and remaining mindful and grounded lies in making time to center oneself each day with a sense of what is happening right here, right now. Even the simplest activities, such as waking up, breathing, drinking, eating, and walking can be mindful. Bringing complete and full attention to what is actually happening right here and now is a powerful way to stay in responsive, rather than reactive, relationship with the world and those around us. Matters that had seemed of great importance suddenly take a back seat, as we can focus on telling loved ones how much we care, and make time to show compassion, appreciation, and kindness in everything we do. By reaching out to assist others, we benefit from the knowledge that we live in a compassionate world; when we focus more on kindness than proving we are right, we establish a sustainable basis for a community we enjoy living in.

Japanese Phoenix

What a source of inspiration the Japanese people have been following the terrible disasters this past month. I've been extremely impressed with the degree of thoughtful consideration and cooperation shown by so many Japanese people after the terrible earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crises of the past month. Rather than focusing on selfish interests, people are consistently staying focused on doing everything possible to share what precious resources with neighbors and strangers as much as family and friends. This is a time when much can be appreciated as long as one views the world through wise eyes that see beyond the superficial to observe unexpected and simple joys amidst earthquake aftershocks, rolling blackouts, and resource shortages.

The recent crisis in Japan presents us with an opportunity to extend support and assistance through prayer and donations. Spiritual jeweler David Weitzman says he will donate all profits from the sale of the Japanese Phoenix Pendant to Japanese earthquake and tsunami survivors. David said he envisioned the design for this beautiful pendant prior to the powerfully destructive disasters last month. After the earthquake and tsuanmi hit, Weitzman knew the importance of this very special design, which symbolizes rebirth, resurrection, and hope.

The opening quote in this month's RealityShifters comes from my book, Karen Kimball and the Dream Weaver's Web, a story about a ten-year-old girl who discovers secrets of a lake at swim camp while developing abilities to see and hear things ohers can't -- talking with animals and spirits, affecting other peoples thoughts, and flying to hidden places. Karen discovers ways to become mindful, in order to master her newfound abilities in time to save the camp and her friends. Karen Kimball is now available in paperback, Kindle, and ebook editions -- and is a great gift idea for sensitive young people who can benefit from reading about a responsive, mindful, proactive and compassionate heroine.
