Channeling is a natural form of energetic communication that occurs between any two beings. The channeler is able to feel, take in, and assimilate the energetic connection with another being and translate that energy transmission into human words.

Note that the term "being" essentially means anything.  The energy and consciousness of anything can be channeled — rocks, trees, and animals, as well as higher beings and spiritual teachers — and every being has its own wisdom and perspective. When reading or listening to channeled material or connecting directly to a being it's useful to know their perspective; you would treat the communication from a stone from your backyard differently from that of a multi-dimensional higher being.

How channeling helps

It's incredibly useful to receive information from other perspectives and other planes of existence. We are accustomed to the way things operate within reality as we perceive it on the Earth plane. By adding to that the wider "big picture" that higher beings and spiritual teachers have, we are able to more accurately see important things in our lives: our life path, life purpose, agreements with others, relationship issues, and energetic matters. Having this information helps us greatly in making day-to-day choices, which results in a life that flows in closer alignment with True Self and that creates true joy.

History of channeling

Channeling is an ancient practice that has existed for all time. As long as humans have been on the Earth, we have found ways to connect with inner guidance and higher guidance. What we now call channeling has figured importantly throughout history in many forms. For instance, the Egyptians developed a way of communicating with the gods in a highly developed art while the Greeks used Oracles to divine answers. Other religions and cultures had their own ways of communicating with their spiritual leaders.

Divination, using stones, runes, Tarot cards, and the like, is a form of channeling, as is mediumship (communication with the energy associated with the souls of those no longer incarnate).

Art is often channeled, as is music and writing and scientific innovation. All the creative forms of expression lend themselves to connection to the greater wisdom that exists all around us.

Modern channeling

Channeling as we know it today arose from the 19th century Spiritualist movement and has been popularized by the wonderful and useful material coming from entities like Seth, Abraham, Michael, Archangel Michael, Kryon, and Polaris. This teaching from a wider perspective helps people understand their daily lives as well as the workings of the universe.

How channeling works

Channeling is something all of us do all the time. It's really that simple. But having awareness and attention to constant energy transmission is another thing entirely — few of us can manage this for more than a moment at a time, usually in times of either extreme relaxation or extreme stress. When an idea "just pops into your head"? That's channeling. So is the feeling of having known someone before who you've never met, or the feeling of being incredibly connected to nature when out walking among trees.

Channelers choose to connect to a particular energy. There is usually an astral agreement to do so, to receive transmissions and to work together in partnership. Entities can sometimes make themselves known to the channeler in surprising ways, but the typical professional channel has a long-standing association with the teacher they work with.

Modern channels today are primarily conscious channels who retain awareness while channeling and who have control over their bodies and awareness of the the room around them while doing so. There's a misconception that channeling is about the channeler "getting out of the way" and surrendering control so as to let energy in, but this is the exception rather than the norm. Very rarely do channels leave their bodies.

More often, the channeler simply expands into the wider space of the higher being who is being channeled. The channel Karen Murphy reports perceiving this as a big room, a feeling of vastness, that's within her. She maintains awareness of everything around her, but the awareness is from the wider perception of Polaris.

What happens during channeling

When the channeler chooses to connect, there is a shift in vibration to more closely match the vibration of the entity channeled. Often this is done imperceptibly, but there can be visible (and often dramatic) differences in the channel's voice, carriage and demeanor after "merging" with the entity being channeled.

There is also a connection to the recipient of the channeled information. Even before a session, there is connection and energy exchange. Polaris likes to say that a channeling session is a tripartite event, with each member of the triad — channeler, channeled being, and client — being equally responsible for the information that ultimately comes through.

Because there's an exchange of energy among everyone present, there's often a great deal of healing occurring as a result, especially when the client is open to a life shift (this happens often). Often this shift is set up far in advance, with the client accessing inner guidance and signals well beforehand that eventually lead to the channeling session.

Group channeling is much the same: the energies of everyone present add to the overall experience and create a dynamic that is of benefit to everyone present.

Common questions about channeling

Because the art of channeling is less tangible than (but not that different from) picking up a telephone and making a call, fear, curiosity, and misunderstanding can develop.

1. Can a dark entity enter the channel and do harm? Channels always have a choice of which energies and entities to work with. Experienced channels understand that just because an entity is capable of transmitting energy (and therefore information) it doesn't mean that the information is particularly evolved or useful. Some entities are simply playful or enjoy the connection without any particular desire to help.

Above all, trust your instincts: if you feel wonderful in all your being after the channeling, it is good for you.

2. What, exactly, is being channeled? Theoretically anything can be channeled since everything in the universe has a consciousness. But the most common connections made through channeling are:

• Spirit guides. Everyone has them, usually several. They remain with you by mutual agreement, usually through your entire lifetime, assisting and supporting you.
  
• Evolved beings (like Polaris) from higher planes of existence. Also called ascended masters. There are varying levels of perceptual evolution, from higher-astral level beings to causal beings, and this affects the type of information brought forward.
  
• Higher self, or essence. Connecting more with the totality of Who You Are is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

3. How do I know what questions to ask? There are no wrong questions. There is an art to asking questions, though, that will help give you the answers you're really looking for. In general, specific questions yield more specific answers. Asking, "What do I most need to know now?" can yield an answer that doesn't make much sense at the time and doesn't become clear for some time afterward, but does, in the end, prove to be exactly what you most needed to hear.

But in the end, channeling is really just a conversation, and you can direct the conversation however you wish to get the most from the experience.

Forms of Channeling

• Words. This is what we think of most often as channeling — the expressive, intellectual transformation of energy into words that we can hear or read. This is the kind of channeling that appears on the web and is published in books. Many of the channeled entities of this kind come from the causal plane of existence, the plane beyond the astral plane.

• Energy. This comes often in the form of healing through modalities like Reiki and Healing Touch; it's what we think of as "energy work." Polaris sends a large amount of healing energy during channeling sessions, especially when the focus is on channeled energy healing and shifts in life path and direction.
• Intuition. This is the sense of "inner knowingness." We receive constant guidance through our own sense of inner knowledge; connection with this sense is powerful as it brings you into closer connection to Self.
• Emotion. Some channels are incredibly inspirational and radiate a warm feeling of love and hope that conveys naturally to listeners. Words can be an almost secondary focus to the emotion conveyed and bring a feeling of well-being.

Learn to channel

Everyone can channel. A great way to start is by simply being open to the signs and guidance that are already around you. Decide that they really are meaningful to you; this helps you strengthen your connection to your own guidance. As you progress, start listening to the still, small voice inside you. We all have that voice; what is yours saying to you? Journaling your dreams is also effective.

If you're interested in learning more, a good book to start with is "Opening to Channel" by Sanaya Roman.

[If you are interested in guidance, Karen Murphy offers personal, one-on-one sessions and group workshops that will help you learn to connect to your guides, higher self, or other beings.]

Want to read more of what the channeling on this site looks like? Read our extensive library of archived Polaris Channeling.

If you've read the article on "What Is Channeling" and gone on to this, then you're likely having some resonance with channeling. Something appeals. You want to invite this energy — and the transformation that comes with it — into your life. It is helpful, however, to check in with your rational, decision making mind and explore what how personal channeled sessions can help you.

We can't speak for everyone, and can't speak for other channelers, but Karen checks in after her personal sessions and the landslide response from her clients is that "something major" happened.  Of course not everyone responds that way. It's not for everyone. And that's good - Karen is does this to help.  She wants to invite the people that it will help.  She's not reluctant to say when she feels she is not going to help, and then perhaps suggest a different path.

A channeled session is different from coaching or therapy. It has some similarities: if you start with that, add an authoratative presence and a powerful energetic healing, you'll get some of the recipe that channeling holds. You are, after all, connecting with the energy of a very large being from another plane of existance. Polaris connects with you before, during, and after your session in whatever way they know is most helpful.

There are many layers to channeling. There's the intellectual component — the words. Karen brings a concise, accurate description of things that are inherently nebulous. There's also the emotional component: transmitting messages direct to your heart via the phrasing and energy. And yes, there's also the last component: the energy work. Even when it's not a focus, there is work during your session with your energetic field and with the meridians in your body.

That's all very nice, you say, but is it for you?

Who benefits from a channeling session?

Everyone benefits in some way — but not always in the same dramatic fashion. We find that the people most open to this type of guidance will resonate with the following:

• You have a feeling inside that something is "stuck". Life isn't moving. And you recognize that. You're ready to create change in your life.  You're open to a very different way of looking at life, one in which you can perceive things from a wider scope and see different possibilities. You are willing to ask very core-level questions and you want to know what's going on at the root of you so you can move forward.
• You are seeking to align with your life purpose. You know you're here for a reason, and you feel connections on a soul level both to yourself and to those around you.  You're here to make a difference.
• You're sensitive and aware, especially on an intuitive level. You're affected by group energy and people, sometimes quite strongly. You are looking to integrate all of it with your rational mind, to be able to bring it so that when you make decisions, you use all of your facilities, blending your thoughts and intuitions seamlessly.
• Bonus: you are familiar with energetic healing. The channeling of Polaris involves an enormous amount of healing energy and assists with making transformational shifts. (Don't worry, many people who aren't previously familiar with energetic healing report amazing changes in how their body feels even after one session.)

Information you can get from a channeling session

• Past lives affecting you now. Many times there are charges brought over from past lives into the current one, including "themes" which you explore over several lifetimes. Bringing this information to your conscious awareness can help you both to let go of pain you do not need at this time and to bring more awareness to what is affecting your choices now.
• Soul-level agreements. There's so much that goes on beyond our conscious awareness - what we call an essence level. Why are you in a relationship with this person that brings up such emotion? Why do you feel drawn to this career path? What helpful agreements have you made while in dream state?
• Who you are. Every lifetime we make choices that affect the set of perception lenses we wear for that life. No two people share the same perception. Knowing who you chose to be in this life and how you see things, as well as how others see you and react to your energy, helps you understand yourself on a deep level.  You'll know why you make certain choices, or react in certain situations the way you do.
• How to get your own guidance.  The best spiritual teachers are the ones who help you access your own deep inner wisdom.
• Energetic awareness. Channeling can bring words to what so many of us feel. Our society discounts "vibe," or the feeling you get when meeting someone or what you feel when among a group. Because of this, we often discount our own perceptions. Channeling gives information about what's going on at an energetic level, which can greatly help you to learn to trust your own perceptions.
• Empowerment. This is the biggie, what you will use for the rest of your life.  It incorporates all of the above.  Empowerment comes from having access to and trust of your own perceptions (so you aren't relying on channeling from others), as well as having a greater connection to the totality of who you are.  Without that connection, also called "the flow of your life", you tend to feel like you're being pushed around without having influence.  You see what's going on, but something else is making the choices for you.  Empowerment is above all about seeing the choices and the power you have to create your own life as you want it.  Without relying on advice from anyone else, including Karen.
  

Empowerment is what it's all about.  Channeling is always, always, ALWAYS about helping you develop your own perceptions and power. Trusting them. Polaris has a bigger, wider perception than ours, but your own wisdom and choice is always what's best for you.

Validation is always encouraged — especially if it's regarding something that doesn't quite feel right. Sometimes it isn't right for you, and it's good to explore the reasons for that feeling. Other times it could be that it's something you simply don't want to hear. But if it doesn't feel right, then that feeling is always right, and it shouldn't be pushed away. Ask questions! Get to the root of the feeling.  That's what truly helps you with trusting yourself and feeling empowered.

Beyond the Words

As mentioned, there is a strong emotional and energetic component to the focused attention in channeling. (Please read up on What Energy Work Is if you haven't!) Even if your session isn't focused on energy work, this component will be a part of it.

Change in your life, if it is to be sustained, must always incorporate your mind, your heart, your body, and your spirit. That's a key aspect of empowerment as well.  If one element is fighting the others, things don't flow as easily. That's why it's so helpful to allow attention to everything at once.  This will be a part of sessions.

Are you ready for change?

Book your private session now, or contact Karen for a free telephone consultation to find the best way for you to get where you want to be.

{xtypo_dropcap}P{/xtypo_dropcap}olaris teaches us that we can have joy in our lives.  And it’s easy.  Anyone can do it.  All we need to do, they tell us, is to step into the flow of our lives.

Attaining joy can be a joyful process.  Simple.  And Polaris gives us the tools to connect with who we are.  By doing so, we step into that flow.

And, when we are more of who we are, we invite everyone around us to do the same.  Your joy creates joy for everyone around you. You’ve heard of the ripple effect?  Polaris talks about it often.  When you are more connected to who you are, it has a natural effect upon everyone around you.  Everyone.  And everyone around you is then invited to be more of who they are.  Which means they in turn have an effect upon everyone around them.   

And so it goes until the entire world is living just a little more joyfully. It all starts with you.

Karen, Matthew, and Polaris are strongly motivated to help create new communities and interconnections among people around the world.  One of Polaris' main messages centers around the interconnection of all beings, and there is no substitute connecting with like-minded people face-to-face in a close-knit, supportive, communicative group.  We fully support such local groups and can assist you in the process of creating them.

Karen and Matthew have led workshops and group channeling events across the United States and Canada, and would love to travel to where you live!  You'll need a minimum of 30 people to create a local workshop but this may vary depending on the location, travel costs, and the number of private sessions desired.

Contact Karen and Matthew to tailor a group event in your area!  We can create an event specific to your needs.

Karen Murphy

Welcome!

I am one of the lucky people — I really love my work. Every time I connect with people through  Polaris, I'm awestruck by the absolute breathtaking beauty and perfection of everyone and everything.  It's ... well ... awesome.

It's like seeing into people's souls, seeing their true selves, and through that perfection I feel like I get to add my little piece too.  It's such a gift to me, seeing who you truly are.

I always felt a part of the unseen world all around us, even as a child. I was the kid tying a stone to a string and making a homemade pendulum, or gazing into mirrors trying to see the infinite worlds inside.  So when my channeling gifts began to develop, it wasn't a big surprise.  It felt like I was really standing on my path, really home. And that's the gift I'd like to bring to you, the gift of truly knowing yourself so that your path can be as joyful as possible.

I'm a Reiki Master and my energy healing through Polaris also incorporates elements of shamanism, which I've also studied. I'm interested in practically everything so I've studied alternative modalities including herbalism, homeopathy, and nutrition. The body is amazing but we do need to take good care of it!  I meditate and speak to my guides daily — I love the sense of inner quiet I feel when I go deep inside that space of limitlessness. I love the forest and the beach and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been guided to be living near both. Every day I walk to one or the other (or both!).

I'm also a writer for a number of websites; I write about environmental consciousness, social activism, and alternative parenting.  Creativity and expression are integral parts of who I am, which reflects in my spiritual work as well.

As the voice of Polaris I bring all of myself, which includes warmth, integrity, and compassion.

Matthew Spears

I believe that every human experience can be expressed outwardly in some fashion — it’s my lifelong aim to try most of them at least once.

Besides expressions in all its forms, my main connection in this life is to elements of nature, especially the energy in trees.  And cats.  Cats adore me. Or is it the other way around? Music is a big part of my life too, and it's an unusual day if I haven't sung to Karen at least once.

I'm on a lifelong spiritual quest that is flowering in the expression of the teachings of Polaris. I've been a student of a number of spiritual paths and teachings, including those of Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, Ramana Maharishi, Gurdjieff, and Krishnamurthi, to name a few.  The many months I spent in India, traveling and absorbing the energy and way of life in monasteries and ashrams, had a huge impact on my life. 

I have a theater background with experience in acting and clowning.  Such active and outward expression of inner emotion has brought awareness of balance to my life on many levels.

I bring a sense of positive skepticism to the work with Polaris, which brings to it a different sort of balance.  By applying this energy I can experiment, investigate, and validate. I invite you to do the same.

Karen and Matthew

Neither one of us were really quite prepared for the feeling of deep recognition we both felt when meeting in physical reality for the first time. It was like our very cells were waving hello to one another, greeting old friends.

It's been pretty much like that ever since.

Polaris told us that we had known one another for twenty years before we finally met in physical reality at a spiritual retreat.  There was twenty years' history of providing mutual energetic support and guidance to one another. Not a bad way to start a relationship.

We make our home in beautiful Vancouver, B.C., Canada and Bellingham WA, two of the most beautiful places on the planet.

The Story

You're wondering why there are two of us. It's an understandable question.

1. We like each other.

2. Even though it's Karen who has been the professional channel for ten years, Matthew's now involved too. It has something to do with  [insert technical spiritual term here] holding the energy. Polaris is REALLY powerful, and we think Matthew keeps Karen from floating off into space.

3. Karen doesn't really float off (but sort of).

4. All sessions are with Karen, and it's Karen's (prettier) face and voice that you'll see here on the site.  But because of the nature of time-space, it's their partnership that brings Polaris to life.

Together with Polaris, we bring you messages of empowerment and encouragement that will transform your life. It certainly has transformed ours. Through our work with Polaris, we've found incredible warmth, acceptance, humor, and an unending source of wisdom. And we want to share that transformation with you.

Through life-changing personal sessions with Karen and Polaris, powerful group events, videos, CDs and audio downloads of Polaris' guided visualizations, we invite you to step into the flow of your life and experience your own personal transformation.

Make your next step toward joy.

Powerful healing on every level — Physical. Emotional. Life-shifting.

Soul Connection Healing with Karen Murphy is a new form of energy healing that incorporates high-level healing frequencies, resulting in core-level transformational healing that is an order of magnitude beyond anything you've experienced :

Powerful healing at a new level

Karen has explored different frequencies of energy healing for over 12 years. She is a Reiki Master and practices shamanic healing as well. She is also a professional channel of the higher-plane being Polaris and works with clients across the globe. (Karen offers powerful private channeled sessions with Polaris in addition to Soul Connection healing.)

By incorporating channeling with energy healing, Karen combines the extremely powerful energy of Polaris with the wisdom of knowing what is needed right now for your deepest well being. Polaris works in coordination with Karen on many energetic levels and the results are amazing. Most people feel an instantaeous shift. This is energy healing like you've never experienced before: calming and comforting, yet incredibly transforming and intense.

Polaris has told us that Energy Healing uses a variety of energy frequencies. These healing frequencies are the rates of vibration of living energy — different frequencies have different purposes and different results in healing. A slower-vibrating healing frequency (like Reiki) works wonderfully with individual conditions localized in specific parts of the body.  Soul Connection healing, in addition to the powerful modalities like Reiki provides, uses a very high frequency energy that Polaris brings in. This high-frequency energy builds a stronger connection between your body and your soul, or Essence, which is why Soul Connection healing is so powerful. It amplifys healing and works directly on your issues while enlisting your own nascent healing powers. And with a stronger connection to your soul, you'll be able to create further changes that move you away from old patterns of emotional response or self-damaging behavior. Instead, your path will lead you towards living a life of greater health, closer connection to Self, deeper connection in relationships — and total joy.

What is a Soul Connection Healing Session like?

You can experience your personal healing session in person or via extremely effective distance healing.

In-person: Sessions in beautiful Bellingham, Washington are held in Karen's second-floor healing studio retreat. After chatting with Karen for a few minutes and discussing the intent you wish to create for your session (you might feel a little nervous the first time; nothing to worry about!) you'll relax on a massage table, fully clothed, close your eyes, and listen to soft healing music. Karen connects with Polaris and you'll feel a shift in the room's energy. Your session will be similar to Reiki and other energy healing; Karen may gently place her hands on your chakras or other parts of your body but will mostly be working on the etheric auras surroundng your body. Your guides will also be in the room and you may feel their presence or a number of gentle loving hands. You might go "out" and feel you've been asleep, or you may experience emotional release or intense feelings of emotion. You might even receive visual information or words. Almost anything is possible during a healing session!

Afterwards you may feel spacy; Karen will help with your grounding process and offer intuitive insight that came during your session.

When you go home, treat yourself gently. Drink plenty of pure water and do something kind for yourself. Spend some time in nature if you can. Expect further shifts in the days to come as you continue to process the effects of Polaris' healing energy.

Distance healing: Your distance Soul Connection healing session will be very much the same as an in-person session. To Polaris, time and distance mean very little! Distance sessions are every bit as powerful as in-person healing.

Karen will phone you at your appointed time so you can chat a little and discuss the intentions you are holding for that day's session. (All long distance telephone costs are included in the price of your session.) After you hang up, you''ll relax in a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disrurbed for about 45 minutes (yes, you will know when it starts and you'll know when your session is over as well). Put on some healing music if you feel guided to. Close your eyes and feel your transformation begin...

After your session, do some quick grounding (Karen and Polaris willl help with this when your session is over) by extending your energy through your feet into the Earth, much like the roots of a tree. Or go outside and walk upon the earth barefoot, if practical. Drink some water and allow your transformation to permeate your being. You deserve it!

Karen will close your distance session by sending you an email discussing what areas of your body were being treated and intuitive insight or information needed to share with you to complete your Soul Connections experience. This information helps you validate your own experience and also offers you a direction in terms of your future healing.

Is it right for you?

We often get questions about sharing the Polaris material from this site or about publishing it elsewhere.  After numerous questions, we thought we'd summarize the basic information here.

Question: The footer says your material is copyrighted but I'd love to share it. May I?

Yes!  We absolutely love our material, channeling, articles, and information being shared.

The material is copyrighted because it is original information and we don't want anyone  inappropriately representing themselves as Polaris. We also reserve the right to remove permission from others to use the material if we don't feel the overall flavor of wh2at they're teaching matches what Polaris intends.

We do, however, want this material to help as many people as possible, which means that we like others quoting it and sending it around. To date, we have never said no to anyone's request of reproducing it.

So please share!

Question:  When do I need to ask permission to use material from this website?

Quotations and using small parts of a channeling do not ever need permission at all. That's called fair use.  Simply give proper attribution (see below) and we'll be very happy.

We're also happy with you reproducing entire articles, with some caveats. If you're using our material on a for-profit site, a publication, to promote yourself in any way, or for anything which is making money, please ask permission first for the reasons stated above.  We take the energy of Polaris seriously. As mentioned, we have never said no, but we want to take care.

If, however, you see the value in the material and want to share it to help others solely as a gift to the community (sharing it with groups, using it on your non-profit blog, etc), we give you our blessing outright so long as you give proper attribution.

We appreciate letting us know when you use full articles though, so please email us if you do.  We love making new friends!

Question:  What attribution should I use?

Be appropriate. If it's a one-line quote, then attributing it to "Polaris" is fine.  Giving a link back to this site is wonderful and appropriate.

If you're quoting a large portion or an entire piece of channeling (as mentioned above), an example of a longer attribution that has been used in the past where the name Polaris isn't assumed to be known is:

Polaris is a reuniting of entities (of which Seth and Michael are a part) who have moved beyond physical reality. They have united in order to teach a message of self-awareness and to give tools to help the manifestation of your deepest Self — to allow you to step into what they call "the flow of your life"  To see past channelings, or to subscribe, see http://www.polarisrising.com/All-Channelings.html.

Preparing for your connection with Polaris

Channeling sessions with Polaris bring insight, perspective, and immense energy into your life to wherever you wish to direct it   They help you to know your essence, your core Self.

Polaris sees the utter beauty in Who You Are.  This means that they will never tell you what you should do!  Instead, Polaris offers you information from which you can make your own informed choices.  Polaris is completely focused on empowering you and helping you reconnect with your own inner wisdom—the wisdom you have always had.

Questions are just as important as answers

Think of your session as a strong and unique partnership between you, Karen, and Polaris. It's a lot like a triangle, with every side being equal to every other. You are an essential part of your transformation process! And you engage in the process during your session by sharing your experience and desires and by asking questions.

Preparing your questions ahead of time is a wonderful way to help you connect to your own inner knowledge.

The Right Question for You

In the days or hours before your session, try carrying a small notebook with you in which you can write the questions or thoughts that come to you.  This is a way of interacting with your soul, your guides, and with Polaris and it helps you to solidify your intention and to focus the energy during your session.  Polaris works with you to help you connect with what you want, and part of the process is simply discovering what it is you want.

Having your questions and thoughts ready in advance opens your communication with Polaris. It also empowers you to make your time with Polaris your very own, and to create exactly the transformation in your life that you want

All questions are welcome, in all subjects.  Potential subjects might include your emotional well-being, your health, your dreams, your life path, your relationships, business issues, or your spiritual path.  Illuminating questions might also be about world events, about a subject that interests you, or about your past lives.  Your time with Polaris works well as a sort of cosmic coaching session—Polaris works interactively with you so that you can manifest the energy in your life that you want.   There is no "right" question or desire, but only what is right for you.  The more the questions and intentions come from you—what you are genuinely interested in or desire to move towards—the more you will get out of your session.

Be specific. If something doesn't make sense, say so. If something is enormously helpful to you, mention that.  This is your time.

Are there any questions that are discouraged?

No.

Remember that Polaris will never tell you what to do.  If you are trying to solicit orders and advice, Polaris will likely gently remind you that you choose your own life.  If this is something you need to be reminded of, then that will be the perfect question for you!

What happens during my session?

Your meeting with Karen/Polaris will most likely be either in person or over the phone (Karen also provides some services by email).  Phone sessions are just as powerful as being face to face with Karen.

At the time of your session, you and Karen will talk for a few moments so as to connect with one other, allow you to focus, and give you time to ask any general questions about the session format that you might have. Karen will begin recording your session, and there is a short pause while she connectss with Polaris and enters the channeling state.  Your session is recorded in .mp3 format, and you'll receive your audio file after your session, via email.

Your session with Polaris is an interactive conversation.  You are welcome to interrupt at any time, ask more questions, or direct the focus in any direction you want!  During your session, feel free to share with Polaris what's going on for you energetically and emotionally, and communicate your desires, and most importantly, bring to that moment all of Who You Are.

Polaris as your partner

Polaris brings their higher perspective to any question you ask—however, they also desire to truly be in a partnership with you.  This is why a series of sessions can be extremely helpful and deeply trasnforming.

If you meet with Polaris regularly—e.g., once a month—it allows you to build a relationship with Polaris that amplifies your openness and the help Polaris can bring.  This openness will extend to all times in your life, and not just during a session. Polaris will often offer you helpful exercises that aid in your healing and transformation, and can assist you with feedback on longterm patterns that would not be possible with a single session.
