Welcome!

Welcome to Amber Light Therapy!

I offer spiritual counselling with compassion and kindness.

As an intuitive healer, light worker, visionary and counsellor, I will work with you to provide spiritual guidance and support on any aspect of your life where you are having difficulties.

Whether you feel you are uncertain about which choice to make in your career or relationships, or are currently in a state of despair or anxiety, I can help you find your way back on to your natural path and destiny. I truly believe we all hold the answers within us, though sometimes we may be too afraid to look at them without positive support, or unable to see them due to past painful incidents that need healing.

I am not a psychologist nor typical counsellor, in that I will use creative techniques of all kinds to help suit the individual, including therapeutic artwork. I 'tune in' to each person I work with to help find an individualized process for each person.

Please note that I operate under strictly confidential principles and no subject is "taboo."

My passion is to help others who are open to making new choices - and who are willing to take steps forward to connect with their own passion and joy in life. I find pure joy in helping others reconnect with their true destiny and life path.

I also specialize in helping those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder related to Workplace Bullying and Harassment.

It truly is a blessing when I can help people truly see and connect with their inner beauty and 'jewel within' that is always shining, even when tarnished by pain and uncertainty or issues of lack of self worth.

I look forward to meeting you in person, by e-mail or phone...

Waking Up!

I woke up last night from a nightmare. Heart pounding. Sweat pouring out of every gland possible.

I haven't dreamed of 'monsters' in many years. Not since I was a kid. I think that there is so much in this world that I see as a living nightmare I don't need to go there at night too.

What scared me most in this dream was that I had partially created the monster. I had a part in making it because I was not standing up for myself. That shocked me. I am a strong advocate for my child, my family, my clients, my friends, and for those that have no voice in the workplace. I have worked on using my voice for many years. I thought I was really doing well. But I realized last night in my dream, that part of me is still hiding!

You may think this is no big deal. How on earth could that thought be frightening? A little annoying perhaps, but it certainly doesn't make for monster madness.

The thing is, as women, we are conditioned to not speak out. We are taught to take care of other's needs at our own expense. It' part of 'being a woman.' It's 'not nice' to be selfish or take care of your own needs first. But yet common sense says this isn't so. They tell you in the first few minutes before take off to make sure to put on your air mask first if travelling with others that need help in an airplane. Otherwise in an emergency you can't help anyone else.I know that is true. We simply can't help others if we aren't taking care of ourselves. We'll burn out.

And I know that part of silencing people and keeping the nightmare continuing, whether via politics or other institutions, is telling people they don't matter.

Convincing people that they can't or don't make a difference and that they 'should not speak out' is an easy way to keep control of the masses. Whether fear is used or shame, it all adds up to people not doing what they can to stop a monster.

However, helping to create a monster, whether by direct contribution, or by ommission of your voice, is still helping to allow a monster to continue. No matter whether you see the Earth's environmental plight, our community loss of connections, abuses of children, women or animals, unneccessary wars, or just the religion of uncontrolled consumption as your personal nightmare... I'd like you to think how you can use your voice to stop the monster from gaining power. We can all do something.

Some basic ideas:
Don't buy products that use slave labour. Boycott companies that are abusing the environment. Turn off the lights and use less power and water in your home. Write a letter to your local MP about animal abuse. Talk to your friends and neighbors about whatever cause you find most engaging. You can even start your own group or join one that is working in an area you want to make a difference in.

Your voice and action can be small or large - but let your voice be heard!

You matter!

You make a difference.

As a PS -

Don't feel you have to change the whole world and do it all! That's an easy road to feeling overwhelmed.
Do what you can for your own community and let others handle other areas.

******************************************************************************
As a closing note....
here's a version of one of my favorite poems on the need to speak up for ourselves and others when we see that things are not right....

This is Martin Niemoeller's Poem about the rise of Nazi power...
and the German Intellectuals inability to stand up for anyone before it was too late.

When the Nazis came first for the sick - the so-called incurables -
I didn't speak up because I wasn't mentally ill.

When they came for the Communists
I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

When they came for the Trade Unionists
I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Trade Unionist.

When they came for the Jews
I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for the Catholics
I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak up.

Why Spiritual Counselling?

Spiritual counselling helps us to find our inner truth. It helps us find our source of peace, love, compassion and wisdom that is our true essence. It helps us learn to live with authenticity, integrity, purpose and wholeness. It helps us to connect with others and with our spiritual and giving nature, which naturally cures depression and anxiety. It also helps us see we always have a choice, even if we - or others - have been telling us we don't.

Spritual Counselling helps heal by dealing with the conflict, trauma, negative belief systems and 'little stories' that prevent us from living in our natural state of joy. It helps us to reflect on the inner mental and emotional state that keeps us from reaching our highest potential.Spiritual counselling helps with many problems and challenges we face today.

Our world is too often too fast paced. Our culture and our world is often directly removed from nature and community. Many people feel lost. Many feel they have lost their purpose, drive and even a simple joy of living. Many are plagued with issues of confidence and self-esteem (often created or perpetuated by our media); and have challenges with family or co-workers. Others may simply feel they are 'living a life of quiet despiration," unable to live in the 'now.'

If this describes you - Spiritual counselling will help you:
-Start making choices that reflect who you truly are
-Help you move from depression, 'being stuck' and/or blocked to peace and contentment
-Make decisions to move your life forward, creating a more joyous, meaningful and authentic life that resonates from your heart
-Help you heal the negative beliefs and fears that prevent you from fulfilling your true potential
-Witness your thoughts and beliefs in order to see whether they are really true and helpful or just 'shoulds' that are holding you back and sabotaging who you are destined to be
-Learn to look to yourself instead of others to discover who you really are and what your soul's purpose is

My perspective...

Miracles happen Daily for me. How about you?

With the amazing discoveries science has unveiled within the last 60 years in regards to metaphysics and quantum physics, it's nothing short of astonishing that spirituality isn't more easily understood and accepted in our current culture. New movies, like, "The Secret" certainly have helped a generation of people understand concepts like the laws of attraction, however I find so many are still skeptical of this type of concept, let alone the concept that we can create our life and see many amazing things when we are open. One only has to look and listen to small children to be open to the miracle of a rose opening, as well as unexplainable things like them talking to their 'invisible friends.'

What I will be listing in this blog will be my personal experiences, current information and other's experiences with the mystical, spiritual as well as some daily miracles. I encourage you to accept what you can within your current reference of spiritual, scientific and personal understanding and experience, and come back to reference the information again as needed in future.

Feel free to add your experiences and to comment on anything I have in this blog.

Thanks for stopping by...

Take care,
Karen
