Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss

Living Grieving by Karen V. Johnson, JD, is a 2022 Silver Nautilus Book Award Winner!

Shamanic energy teacher Karen V. Johnson, JD, writes with both hope and compassion in a book described by bestselling author and noted shamanic teacher Alberto Villoldo as "The owner's manual for embracing grief with courage and transforming it into wisdom, to discover the ultimate and lasting gift of joy."

Karen V. Johnson's, fast-paced professional life came to an abrupt halt when she lost her twenty-seven-year-old son to a heroin overdose. Rather than grieve in a way that made people around her comfortable, she did the unexpected. She left her lifetime appointment as a Federal Judge of over 30-years, sold her house and all her belongings, and went on a two-and-a-half-year journey that took her all over the world, finding a healing and spiritual practice along the way.

Karen didn't think she could ever find her way out of despair, but she found a process that worked - a sacred journey and map thru grief and loss that she shares with others so they can heal too. This book is structured around practices that are part of the Four Winds Medicine Wheel as developed by Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. Karen blends her heartbreaking personal journey with transformative experiences relating to each direction of the Medicine Wheel. Living Grieving offers simple to use tools related to each of the four practices, and addresses grief and loss of any kind. Including grief and loss of:

a passed loved one a beloved pet a former way of life a job a home a sense of self
It's not possible to go back to the lives we lived before grief and loss stuck, and forever changed our reality. But we do not have to remain stuck in the overwhelming emotions of guilt, anger, fear, resentment, and despair - a stagnant place of lifelessness. Join me as we create a new and powerful self-realized life. One created from radical acceptance of the power of grief and loss to strike us with transformational lightning and electrify us with powerful energy to bloom and blossom.
