Johnson. Karen is a graduate of Georgetown Law Center and a former Fulbright Scholar in Afghanistan. She holds Master's Degrees in both Public Health and Public International Affairs. She's a retired Administrative Law Judge of more than 30 years, former Army officer (retired), a master practitioner of energy medicine, and author of “Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss.”   Listen in to hear Karen's journey from her left-brained world into spirituality, how she uses the four winds medicine wheel, and how you can get in touch with your inner divine too.   Topics We Discuss:   [1:30] Talk about a shift! Karen was living a left-brained life in Washington, DC working as a Federal Judge, when her 27 year old son tragically died from a heroin overdose. Karen says sometimes death is a doorway to a spiritual life. Shortly after his death, Karen experienced an afterlife visitation from her son, started sensing and seeing him, and then started seeing other spirits. She now helps “stuck” spirits cross over.   [9:10] How to edge yourself toward your own psychic sense of other realms: first get over the hurdle of disbelieving and allow yourself to tune into your intuition. For most of us, our intuition has been shut off because over the years we've been told to focus on the facts. Karen tells people to imagine saying to your left brain, “Thank you for all you've done, but I want to play with my right brain.” Set your intention. Open your heart.   [10:30] Karen's honest discussion of how severe her grief became, eventually feeling desperately suicidal. A spiritual course in Joshua Tree, California turned things around for her. She began her spiritual journey.   [14:10] Karen's book, “Living Grief” is based on Indigenous medicine wheels as applied to grief. There are four directions (north, east, west and south) and four practices associated with each direction; therefore, 16 ways to journey from being stuck in our grief to a place of rebirth. We can create a new life out of the ashes that honors our loved ones.   [16:00] Karen's healing practice uses ceremony. In the West, we understand ceremony when we walk into a temple or a church: there are candles and we get a feeling of that sacred place and the divine. Even if we're not a member of that religion, we might go light a candle. Karen helps mirror that experience of the divine by getting people from their reptilian brain to their ceremonial brain in the neocortex.   [25:45] By releasing the chatter in our minds and being in stillness, we can experience the divinity within us. We're not just physical creatures. We have a spiritual, transcendent element that we want to get in touch with and allow to guide us.   [30:01] Indigineous alchemy. What if we're wired for transformation? What if we have this inherent nature that looks for transformation and change?  By keeping ourselves stuck, we're actually holding in negative energy that affects our bodies.   [35:10] Psychopomps are beings that can go between realms; Karen leaves this realm and goes in the in-between to help souls transition to the other side.

When Karen Johnson's 27-year-old son Ben died due to a drug overdose, her world came to an abrupt halt. Enveloped in unbearable grief with no spiritual belief, Karen tried to make sense of everything while communicating with Ben's spirit in the Afterlife. Karen left her lifetime appointment as a Federal Judge of over 30 years, sold all of her belongings, and went on a 2½ year journey around the world in search of healing and understanding of the spirit world she was now communicating with. Communication with Ben's spirit increased during her travels, leading her to discover shamanism as her new path.

I felt the same way until I realized we do not get over grief. It's not like catching the flu; we aren't sick. There is no cure, and we can't medicate it away. Instead, grief is a state of being that carries energy that you can tap into to create a new life. Just as we use the energy of other newly acquired states of being like marriage or parenthood to transform our lives, we can likewise use the energy of grieving to transform.”You can learn more about Karen here.Support the show (https://healgrief.org/donations/)

With the Holidays over, many people are left to cope with their magnified feelings of grief & loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, a job that no longer exists, loss of income, a home, and even a loss of self.

On today's Stop Stopping Yourself show, special guest Karen V. Johnson shares her courageous story as a Fulbright Scholar in Afghanistan, U.S. Army major, and federal judge who became a master energy medicine practitioner and the author of Living Grieving after the death of her son.

Karen V. Johnson is the author of Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss. In 2014, her twenty-seven-year-old son, Ben died of a heroin overdose. She shares on her website: “it never occurred to me to see grief as a journey of transformation, or to find the blessings in the grieving process, or about allowing myself to grow into the state of living with grief. I had to figure it out by myself. It was a lonely path of self-discovery that was not mainstream and not accepted.” She decided to retire, sell her house, and went on a two-and-a-half year journey that took her all over the world on a search for meaning in her tragic loss. This was especially surprising to others considering she had spent the previous thirty years as a criminal and energy law attorney and administrative law judge in Washington D.C. During our conversation we talk about the following: How she moved from a state of sadness and despair over her son's death to finding greater meaning and purpose in it Her two year journey across the world learning how to use energy medicine and shamanic healing practices Specific advice and ceremonies people can use to help them transform their grief How people can better manage sadness, guilt, anger, and despair when they are grieving How she transitioned from being an administrative law judge to having a deeply fulfilling career as an author, consultant, and energy medicine practitioner How you can follow your dreams and create a deeply fulfilling life 

Karen V. Johnson, a successful judge promised a lifetime appointment, was sure she would continue living the same way indefinitely. But when her son died of a heroin overdose she soon realized everything needed to change. Setting off on a quest to sooth her overwhelming grief, she found her way over time to a life she had never imagined, full of rich spiritual experiences, new practices and a freedom she had never allowed herself. Join us as we talk about how she learned to follow her own inner guide and leave behind what she had been taught to do- succeed and listen to others!

She quit her job of 30 years, sold her house with all her belongings, and went on a 2½ year journey that took her all over the world, reluctantly finding a spiritual practice along the way.

Johnson's fast-paced professional career as a lifetime appointed Federal Judge came to an abrupt halt when she lost her 27 year-old son to a heroin overdose. Rather than grieve in a way that made people around her comfortable, she 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. Karen didn't think she could ever find her way out of despair, but she found a process that works and shares the journey of transformation with others so they can heal too. Karen V. Johnson, JD, is a graduate of Georgetown Law Center (J.D.), a former Fulbright Scholar in Afghanistan, and holds Masters Degrees in Public Health and Public and International Affairs (MPH, MPIA). Karen is a retired federal administrative law judge who practiced criminal and energy law for more than 30 years. She also is a former U.S. Army officer, Major, USAR (inactive).

Today's conversation is with Karen Johnson, a healer and writer who spent 30 years of her life working as a judge until her beloved son, Ben, died from an overdose at 27. After that devastating experience, she sold her home, retired, spent 2 and a half years traveling and interviewing shamans, and ultimately became one herself.  This episode is about Karen's journey with grief and the world beyond. She emphasizes that, while it will take time, we don't have to be stuck in our grief and our loved ones don't want us to be stuck as it keeps them from doing their work on the other side. If you want to know how to find the wisdom and energy in grief that can be used to create a new life and how to trust the universe, this is a must-listen. I'd love to know what you think.
