Karen Johnson
KAREN V. JOHNSON is the author of Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss, which she wrote following her 27-year-old son’s death due to a heroin overdose. Rather than grieve in a way that made people around her comfortable, Karen did the unexpected. She quit her job, sold her house with all her belongings, and went on a 2½ year journey that took her all over the world, finding a healing practice along the way.
A retired federal administrative law judge who practiced criminal and energy law for more than 30 years, Karen is also a former U.S. Army Reserve officer and a Fulbright scholar. She was personally trained by Alberto Villoldo, and is a faculty member at the Four Winds Society and a Master Practitioner of Energy Medicine. She has trained extensively in the techniques of Illumination, Soul Retrieval, Extractions of Energies and Entities, Divination, and Death Rites. Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss is her first book. | karenjohnson.net
My 10 Best
Cassandra Speaks
by Elizabeth Lesser
I love this book because it challenges old myths that cast women in negative roles and asks how they might have been different if written by women. It also challenges us to stop using language based on a culture of war, and instead use words based on nature. It also challenges us to do power differently—a way not based upon the patriarchy
The Art of the Pilgrimage : The Seekers Guide to Making Travel Sacred by Phil Cousineau
This book inspired me while on my own 21/2 year journey around the world seeking information on grief and death. Indeed, how might we break free from the constraints of ordinary reality: “Travel brings a special kind of wisdom if one is open to it. At home or abroad, things of the world pull us toward them with such gravitational force that, if we are not alert our entire lives, we can be sucked into their outwardness. Attentive travel helps us to see this, because the continually changing outward scene helps us to see through the world’s pretensions.
With its phantasmagoric, kaleidoscopic character laid bare, we see it for what it truly is—a perpetually perishing maya—and the world loses its wager. We can understand how perpetual wandering can be a spiritual vocation, as with dedicated pilgrims and sannyasins. “
Broken Open
by Elizabeth Lesser
This book is one of the first in my spiritual journey and introduced the concept of death, divorce, and loss being doorways. As we are broken open, the light comes in.
Outrageous Openness
by Tosha Silver
I LOVE this author and was inspired by her witticism and short chapters! So much wisdom can be packed into a pithy paragraph! And I love her wisdom and prayers about working with the divine.
The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary
by Perdita Finn and Clark Strand
I so related to the concept in this book that women have been praying by using beads in many cultures over time and that the meditation cushion may not come naturally to women as we were the gatherers and not the hunters needing long periods of stillness to stalk prey.
The Café on the Edge of the World:
A Story About the Meaning of Life
by John Strelecky
Why are you here? Do you fear death? Are you fulfilled? With this food for thought and the guidance of three people he meets at the cafe, the main character, John, embarks on a journey of self-discovery. This is a mystical journey that answers the three questions that many of us would love to answer.
The Divine Matrix
by Gregg Braden
I needed this book to help me to believe in the healing power of energy. I was a left-brain-oriented skeptic until I understood quantum physics and this book presents it in an understandable fashion.
The Secret of The Lost Mode of Prayer
by Gregg Braden
This book introduced to me the concept of praying as if it was already done. Not the ordinary petitionary prayer but a prayer of gratitude for answers already given.
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself
by Joe Dispenza
I love this book because it is written from a medical perspective so that I could understand the chemistry behind the addiction to drama. Adrenaline and cortisol are highly addictive and people create drama so they can get the high.
Becoming Supernatural
by Joe Dispenza
I was fascinated by the journeys that are part of this book. Journeys outside of time to create what we want in the future and bring it to the present. We are supernatural and can truly create. This book shows us how.
