A Water Guided Visualization

September 17, 2024Leave a comment

Recently, I was out for a walk. Near my house is a path beside a stream and I had the inspiration to record a short guided visualization, incorporating the flow of water. It begins with an invitation to see yourself beside a stream or relaxing in the water – the water gently flowing by. As it does, it cleanses and releases all that does not serve. As that is released, there is room to receive – to be nourished, revitalized, resourced or to welcome gifts into your being. You are then invited to notice what is different, embrace all that has shown up and know you can access it at any time.

Got 5 minutes. Take a listen – the link to the audio is here.

A few people have already listened and this is what they had to say:

“I’m currently healing from an injury and this visualization was just what I needed “

“I received a big hit 🎯. Gifts from the water: a diamond inside a treasure box, a Trident with immense energy, an apple, a cannonball bursting with energy.”

Remember that each person who listens to guided visualizations are offered imagery and symbolism that is specific to you. Here is a link to the one on Energy Renewal. Enjoy. Love hearing the feedback.

Inner Wisdom Activation – Step Boldly into Who You were Born to Be!

September 15, 2024Leave a comment

There is a momentous shift occurring and with this shift is an invitation into expansion and expression of your full self. Many people are experiencing relief, a sense of being re-energized and even joy.

Is it possible that we are in a moment of significant sea tide of change taking root? For people who follow astrology or energy guides, all indications point to this time as sparking new, long-term cycles. As with any cycle, it means some things are ready to die and new things are birthed. The death throes can be loud, frightening and possibly even feel a bit dangerous. I feel some of this when I look at current political scenarios in both the US and Canada as I work to intentionally stay facing a future of optimism and hope.

Dana Pearlman and I are creating a space for a community of wisdom seekers: The Inner Wisdom Lab. We have created a Facebook Group as a starting place for this community and you can go there to join us. We are also offering a 4-week Inner Wisdom Activation Program beginning with the first 2 hour session on September 26 at 1:00 pm EST. Registration is $125 US for all 4 although the first session is free.

This program is for those of us wanting to step more completely into the gifts and talents we know we have yet have not yet fully accessed. The type of gifts and talents that arise from inner wisdom and knowing that we may have ignored, hidden or believed we didn’t have. This is an invitation to rise, both individually and collectively, to meet the moment, renewed, resourced and ready.

Inner Wisdom Activation Information

You find out more at the Inner Wisdom webpage where you can also find a registration link. During the 4 weeks we will cover:

Inner Wisdom Activation: connecting to hidden or forgotten gifts and talents.
Intuitive Triads Community Call: honing intuition to discern and act on synchronicities.
Identifying and Releasing Limiting Beliefs: getting out of your own way – releasing fear, anxiety, shame and doubt to expand access to your inner wisdom.
Sacred Inner Wisdom Creations: what sacred creation do you want to give life to now?

There will be other guided visualizations provided in advance of each week to support you in the journey and you will be invited into reflection exercises to see what arises for you from week to week and note any discoveries that emerge.

An Inner Wisdom Lab Video Series

Dana and I are having a lot of fun in creating this offering. We have been recording some videos to describe what it is, why we have felt called to do this, what’s involved, what guided visualizations are and we share some stories from our own experiences to give people a sense of who we are as well as a sense of what might be experienced. You can find the Inner Wisdom Play List here. Individual videos created so far are listed below.

Inner Wisdom Activation Introduction.
Guided Visualizations: What they are and how they work.
Kathy’s Drumming Circle Story – an early experience.
Dana’s Story of Reiki and Healing.
Dana’s Story – the call to paint.
Kathy’s Story – The call to Gold Lake (and how it connects to the Drumming Circle story from a decade previous).

Community helps us grow. Together we amplify our experiences and our access to energy and intuition. It may be serious and profound work. It’s also fun and invites us to laugh with each other. Come join us and grow your own sense of community and connection.

A Little Offering – A Guided Visualization for Energy Renewal

August 15, 2024Leave a comment

For fun, I am going to offer a few short guided visualizations on topics that could interest anyone. This one is for energy renewal. Unlike the one-on-one or group visualizations, they are not specific to you, but the topic may resonate for you and you will experience the benefit. You will also have a taste of what the visualizations can be like and if you are interested in learning more you can check out this page or reach out to me.

This audio is 7 minutes long. It begins with an invitation to get comfortably seated and ends with an invitation to bask in the new energy for a moment and/or to journal about it.

The link to the audio is here. One of my cats was attracted to session and adds his voice and his purring. I hope it doesn’t distract from your experience.

What are Group Visualizations and How Do They Work?

What are group visualizations and how do they work? Take a listen here or read below.

Group visualizations work pretty much the same way as the one-on-one visualizations with one key difference – the one-in-one visualizations offer more of a collaborative and tailored experience between you and me. With a group, the guided visualization is provided and the participants embark on their own individual journey without speaking during it. There is enough fluidity in the guidance offered that each person will have their own unique experience.

When the visualization is complete, there will be a few minutes for participants to silently journal their experience. If it is a small group, people will be invited to share what they wish of their experience with the group. If it is a larger group, break out rooms will be set up and participants can share with their smaller group.

The sharing is part of making sense of the experience as well as allowing the imagery and gifts to sink deeper into your consciousness. As with the one-on-one visualizations, many people find this informs their day-to-day experiences as well as their access to their own intuition and inner guidance on an on-going basis.

If you and a few friends would like to participate in a group guided visualization, send me a note and we’ll work out the details.

One-on-One Guided Visualizations – What They Are and How They Work

How do one-on-one guided visualizations work? Listen here or read below.

One-on-one guided visualizations start with your question or inquiry and, again, offers a story for you to connect to. With the one-on-one sessions, you are invited to share what imagery is coming up for you. As you do so, this creates the opportunity to influence the direction of the story and the questions offered to you – making your journey very specific to you. It means, you can go to a greater depth.

Once you have the symbols and the imagery, you will be able to connect to them long after the guided visualization is complete, continuing to tap into the gifts and inner wisdom that emerged for you during the guided journey. For many people this informs their day-to-day experiences as well as their access to their own intuition and inner guidance.

I am offering guided one-on-one visualizations – if you want to schedule a session with me you can find the link on this page. I would love to collaborate with you on a guided visualization that will help you access your inner wisdom and your inner healing power.

What are Guided Visualizations?

A voice recording answering the question: What is a Guided Visualization? Listen here.

Essentially, the person doing the guiding offers imagery – a story, if you will – that your mind, spirit, imagination can connect to – and offers suggestions that invite you to fill in the blanks with imagery or symbols that come to you. These symbols will have meaning to you and you are invited to interpret them to your specific question or circumstance.

I wrote a blog post once – here is the link – on Is this Real or am I Making it Up? The mind doesn’t know the difference between what is real and what is imagined, so it doesn’t matter. What matters is learning to trust yourself and the images that emerge for you – and that is what guided visualizations offer.

I am offering guided visualizations, both one-on-one (you can book online) and for groups (reach out to me to inquire) – the link is here: Embracing Your Inner Healing Power – Guided Visualizations . I would love to collaborate with you on a guided visualization that will help you access your inner wisdom and your inner healing power.

Accessing Your Inner Healing Power: Guided Visualizations

August 9, 2024August 13, 2024Leave a comment

My memoir, Embracing the Stranger in Me: A Journey to Openheartedness, describes my spiritual and healing journey over the first half of my adult life. It was, by and large, a journey of accidental discoveries. Along the way, I tapped into my ability to “see” spirit guides and to offer deep and profound guided visualizations for others.

I have been considering this kind of one-on-one offering for a while now. Recently, I was inspired by one of Lee Harris’s energy updates where he spoke about Sacred Arts Rising and the impulse to share creations in a new and different way.

Embracing my spiritual identity more fully, I have decided to offer one-on-one guided visualizations with the possibility of adding on a follow-up call. We are living in times of significant shift, change and upheaval. Our best recourse for finding our way is to be grounded in who we are – embracing all of who we are. This offering is one resource to support you in this journey.

What

A 1.5 hour guided visualization where you have the opportunity to connect deeply with yourself or with your guides for any of the following purposes:

To access your power and discover ways to live into it more fully.
To access your hidden or forgotten talents and gifts.
To meet a past and/or future self for guidance, messages or gifts.
To meet your spirit guide(s)/power animal(s) and ask them for guidance, messages or gifts.

The Process

This is not me relaying information to you. This is a collaborative process where I provide structure through the visualization, you tune into what is emerging for you and we have a conversation to stay tuned into what is true in the moment.

Where

On zoom – a link will be shared for the session.

Follow Up Option

These are stand-alone sessions although some people like to do a follow-up to share what happened post the session and ask any questions that are lingering. This would be a 1 hour session.

Fee and Payment

$150 for the guided visualization session.

$225 for the guided visualization and the follow-up.

Payment can be made through e-transfer in Canada, sent to or through paypal from anywhere else, to the email kathy.jourdain@gmail.com. Sessions are not confirmed until payment is received.

Testimonials

“My guided visualization with Kathy connected me to my spirit guides, with vibrant imagery. I go back to this imagery over and over again for guidance and to tap into a revitalizing energy.”

“I gained valuable insights into patterns in my life that were holding me back and discovered gifts I forgot that I had that I now draw on regularly.”

“Kathy’s voice invites a journey, her questions provide great guidance in the experience and the inner resources that are illuminated offers profound insights into alternative pathways.”

In this post which includes a 7 minute voice recording, shortly after my memoir, Embracing the Stranger in Me: A Journey to Openheartedness was published, I talk about the Compelling Nature of the Journey – so much so that you have to respond to the call of life.

This journey for me was an opening to gifts and talents I did not think possible for me or available to me. I had imagined only “special”, “deeply gifted” and “powerful” people would have access to these kinds of gifts. The realization over time is that we all have access, we all have gifts. Most of us just need to find our way through the persistent story telling that tells us otherwise, that tells us that these experiences are not real, that we are making them up. The mind does not know the difference between what we imagine and what is real – which is why visualization is so powerful. Check out the post and 8 minute audio recording here.
