Karen Newell is an author and specialist in personal development with a diverse body of work that rests upon the foundation of spiritually transformative experiences. Her personal growth programs, workshops, guided meditations and teachings enable individuals to achieve life transformations towards greater self-fulfillment and contentment, quality relationships and choices aligned with a heart-centered consciousness.
As an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, Karen empowers others in their journeys of self-discovery. Using Sacred Acoustics recordings and other techniques, she teaches how to engage with your inner world to connect to guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness and develop intuition.
Karen is co-author with Eben Alexander III, MD of Living in a Mindful Universe. At international workshops presented with Dr. Alexander, Karen demonstrates key practices of consciousness exploration: heart awareness, intention, maintaining neutrality, emotional management and cultivating internal knowing. She shares a broad knowledge of spiritually transformative events, including near-death experiences, after death communications, and shared death experiences, with a focus on their life-like features, transformative after-effects, and remarkable similarity to the natural process of death—all with the common theme of love.
Her lifelong interest in ancient cultures and sacred sites catalyzed her drive to understand the purpose of our existence and humanity’s collective history. In her search for answers, she discovered that firsthand personal experience is crucial for the fullest understanding. She enrolled in hands-on experiential courses to investigate and develop such skills as meditation, lucid dreaming, astral travel, telepathy, remote viewing, self-hypnosis, and forms of energy healing, which validated that we can all develop these abilities. Most surprising was that this exploration led to unexpected personal and spiritual growth.
With focused dedication, she evaluated different theories and techniques through experiments in her daily life. Using this depth of personal evidence, she cultivated a personal knowing, not only of the reality of the spiritual realm, but also a facile expertise in living that life of daily connection with universal consciousness. Among her greater attributes is the rare skill of discernment – an ability to separate the wheat from the chaff in navigating a pathway towards truth.
Karen’s most intriguing forays into consciousness involved listening to sounds such as gongs, crystal bowls and tuning forks. Recordings containing binaural beats were particularly effective at minimizing distracting thoughts and restlessness, allowing her to finally reach the expanded states of awareness she sought. Karen joined with Kevin Kossi to create original recordings for meditation that incorporate binaural beats, and together, they founded Sacred Acoustics to share these experiences with others.
Prior to a career in personal development, Karen enjoyed 26 years in the magazine and newspaper publishing field, in key leadership positions providing oversight and direction for technology transitions in the print industry. Her fondest memories from her publishing career were of nurturing young graphic artists and digital publishing specialists. That same quality of caring resonates throughout her current work with Sacred Acoustics, her books and media appearances, and in her personal development workshops and webinars.
