Who Is Carmen?
I am a New Consciousness Teacher, a high consciousness being on Earth right now to help open up and expand the potentials for others who are willing to evolve.
Why do I say this about myself? Because it is true and, more importantly, because, it’s time to stop hiding. It’s time to stop pretending. Our individual and collective worlds will no longer sustain the old ways. THEY DON’T WORK!!
So, how do I live this? In many ways. In, my practice I combine the insight of Transpersonal Psychology with the cutting edge techniques of Energy Medicine. Credential wise, I have a Master’s Degree in Transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University in Boulder, CO and I am a licensed psychotherapist (Colorado LAC #002). On the Energy Medicine side, I have several international certifications – Specialist in Energy Medicine (CSEM), Energy Medicine Practitioner (CEMP), and Healing Touch Practitioner (CHTP).
As a teacher, I teach energy medicine to addiction counselors in Colorado and teach Transform Your Life through Energy Medicine (TYLEM) to the general public. I also teach workshops on current topics. Just for fun, I call that series “Come be on the edge with me.”
One Version of the History
My journey along the growth path started a long time ago – more than half a century. While it took me a very long time to figure it out, my choice of family to be born into led to important, deep woundings. Experiencing, discovering and healing of these formed the path for me to walk, the perfect way to learn about being human, and the ideal way for me to learn who Carmen is (still happening by the way). Early(ish) in my work, I made the strongest intention statement I have ever made.
I was walking to work one spring day and, out of the blue, I heard my-Self say “I want it all.” I have never been quite able to duplicate the strength and power with which I said those words. That intention has guided my life since that moment. One of my most powerful insights has been that of “nested intentions” – some are more core than others. This one is at the very core and takes precedence over all others.
Along the path, I have trained in shamanic practices. While my orientation is Core Shamanism (developed by Dr. Michael Harner), I have been privileged to work with a number of very powerful teachers from all over the world.
I picked up a Master’s degree in transpersonal Psychology from Naropa University – that is a tale for another time – and this is my orientation. Who we are extends way past the body, mind and feelings. We MUST embrace (and explore) the spiritual and the unseen if we are to be whole.
I have also trained in a number of energy modalities. I am a Certified Energy Medicine Specialist (specializing in combining energy medicine, psychology and ascension), a certified Energy Medicine Practitioner (using Transform Your Life thru Energy Medicine – TYLEM) and a Certified Healing Touch Practitioner. In my practice, I use energy work to help individuals shift – if they are ready of course. Energy medicine is a powerful tool that allows trauma to be healed and beliefs to be changed in a few minutes.
I know the truth of each one of us is an unlimited being. The acceptance of this begins the process of learning to embrace what it means and to discover how to live it. Eventually, we will ALL get to experience it.
With all that I have learned, the two most important lessons have been – to love and to laugh without fear.
