Part of what Karen works on is mapping out the reactions that arise before conscious thought turns them into something else, which then gives her clients the ability to discharge those reactions.  She helps people facilitate their own understanding of building capacity with intense emotions, sensations, and feelings.When you feel safe in your body, you open up the capacity to create, innovate, and bring your passion alive.  The capacity to regulate your mind and your emotions and behaviors when they're immobilized, and then bring them back in line with your personal values, is the most important gift anyone can give themselves.Connect with Karen to get your free copy of "Dignity: 10 Steps To Revealing Your Authentic Value":Join Karen's Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/LivingandLovingUnleashed On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/karen.austen3/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rubyrose2810/Connect with Magic:A Magical Life Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amagicallifepodcast/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholisticnaturalhealth/Online: https://wholisticnaturalhealth.com.auSupport the showConnect with Magic:A Magical Life Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amagicallifepodcast/On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wholisticnaturalhealth/Online: https://wholisticnaturalhealth.com.auA Subito Media production
