Yesterday I celebrated my birthday.

As I reflect on my life, I am struck with this simple and profound awareness:

You have given me the biggest gift of my life: the gift of being able to share my spiritual gifts with the world and do the thing that God put me here for – and make a good living in the process.

Thank you for giving me this gift.

***

I really feel like my life is just beginning with so many wonderful things to come.

I can’t believe all this has unfolded in my life, and I can’t begin to imagine what is coming next.

And I am so grateful for everything that has come in the journey to this point.

***

For the first couple of years following discovering my healing gifts, I worked with people, but didn’t have words to describe what was happening.

I understood at some essential level that I was helping people re-tune to the frequency of the Divine. But I couldn’t explain what that meant or how someone could do this for themselves.

In the years since a variety of practices have come in – always in their own way, with no apparent link to the other practices initially.

Over time the relationship between the practices has become clear (and the relationships continue to be revealed). The role of the practices in supporting us in remembering and experiencing who we really are has also become clearer and this clarity is ongoing.

Over the last twenty months the six steps to Spiritual Mastery revealed themselves through my writing process around my first book. While the book isn’t yet complete, the awareness that will ultimately be shared in this book has been taught, tested, and worked with over the last year + in my private practice, in public talks and interviews, in workshops – and through my Foundations of Spiritual Mastery I course with many extraordinary results.

***

In these six steps, I have been given a predictable process that anyone can follow, and begin to more completely remember and experience their true nature. No further pre-requisites (beyond being incarnate – and presumably interested in a deeper experience of your true nature, or with a desire to reduce pain/discomfort/suffering).

I’ve personally worked with enough people through this process at this point that I can comfortably declare that these six steps will move you deeper to a comprehensive experience of your true nature no matter what is going on in your life, no matter what challenges you’re facing.

***

The Six Steps to Spiritual Mastery are:

Embody Your Soul.

Call Your Power Home.

Pierce the Illusion of Separation.

Practice Your Wholeness.

Surrender.

And practice the first five over and over again.

***

Whatever is going on in your life, these six steps will support you in more completely coming home and experiencing your true, Divine nature.

They will support you in moving from Manifesting/Controlling Consciousness to Conduit Consciousness.

They will support you in transcending.

***

YOU have given me the gift of not only this confidence – but also of the awareness itself!

I would have never endeavored to write a book had I not had clients that I was working with and people reading my weekly From My Heart emails.

There would have been nothing to write about had I not received these extraordinary practices – and seen over and over again, their efficacy against a wide range of physical, emotional, and life situation challenges.

These practices came during private and group sessions, meditation and reflection time – all focused on my clients.

***

I was once at a local networking meeting and each participant was asked to share their marketing process. When it came time for my turn I stood up and said “It’s a God thing.” Everyone laughed – but that’s the truth.

Over and over again I hear about someone who was reading an email from they can’t remember who – and after they deleted it they saw a flash of light and knew they had to go find that email and follow the link.

Or the person who heard me talking on a radio show or interview program and my laugh, my vulnerability, my unspoken energy drew them to take a class from me or reach out to work with me in private session.

There are two parts of that equation – the first is you!

Thank you so much!!

***

And it’s also about me – and I can stand up in front of you and own that now.

I listened when I was called.

I followed that gravitational pull for which I had no words to describe.

That pull that made no sense to my parents or my siblings or some of my friends.

That pull that led me away from a “normal” job in mortgage lending into an unconventional life in spiritual healing.

I bushwhacked my way through the jungle when there was no path forward, following guidance and making up my own way where none was clear.

I was given a practice for wholeness – and the awareness for how to teach others the same process. So I practiced wholeness, and taught it to everyone I could.

I ran into the limits of my ideas and knowledge for how to make things happen in my life and in my relationships, so I learned how to give up control and surrender – something I practice and learn more about every day.

I am learning to step into my power and honor the artist whose energy moves through me – the Divine.

Part of stepping into my power is claiming my path and my gifts, and sharing them with the world.

***

Yet as before, I return to the keen awareness that this involves YOU!

I can share all I want – but for the seed of remembering and experiencing your true nature to take root around these practices there must be a YOU.

I give profound thanks to you for including me in your life.

Thank you, Kyda!

***

As I begin my 44th year, I celebrate that we’re connected in this way!! And I can’t wait to see what unfolds next in my life, in yours, and in this journey of consciousness that we share with all our brothers and sisters around the world.

***

Thank you for engaging with me in all the ways we’ve shared time over the last week or month or year –some have been with me since I launched my first public website three years ago this month.

***

That’s it for this week … From My Heart.

In Gratitude and Peace,

Ken

PS – To celebrate my 43rd birthday, I would like to share a gift with you: a session (MP3) I did earlier this year on the importance of being in the body. This session comes from the weekly group healing sessions I facilitate for The Sanctuary – the group that I started in November of 2010 to support people all around the world in deepening their relationship with the Divine, and more fully remembering and experiencing their true nature. I hope you enjoy it – and that it serves you powerfully on your journey. Click here to download the MP3 now.
