New Book
My Gentle Musings
Karen Johannsen, MA., retired psychotherapist, began her writing career at age 70, with the publication of her book and card deck, Full Moon Magic. That same year, 2013, she began writing a blog on her website, www.theoneheart.org as a way to share her personal journey with her readers.
Now at age 76 she has compiled these 6 years of blogs into this book. In it she chronicles her struggles, her opportunities, her insights into how to navigate this human life on planet earth. Even though she speaks of these issues from the perspective of her 76 years the topics are universal: grief, relationships, self-love, anger, co-dependence, boundaries, detachment, joy and she also throws in a bit of astrology. Karen shares her wisdom of what it means to be alive in these challenging times and gives us spiritual and psychological insights into how to use these challenges as tools for transformation.

"In her book, 'My Gentle Musings', Karen speaks from the foundation of what it means to be human, to struggle with the reality of our desires, pain, dreams, and imaginings. Through her writing, we find a place to understand our own struggles around holding on, letting go, and navigating the prickly parts of inner and outer relationships."
- Therese Antony, Executive Director, Soul Bridging
"I am one of the lucky readers who has followed Karen Johannsen’s writing over the last many years. Every month I look forward to her ‘Gentle Musings’ and know that I will be filled with laughter, compassion, purpose or forgiveness after reading. Karen is wise and kind. She tells the truth. She asks beautiful questions and requests us all to dig deep and answer. Her writing is a waterfall of what is good and true. Dive in for exquisite nourishment. You will be filled."
- Heidi Rose Robbins, poet, astrologer, and host of The Radiance Project podcast

The meditations found in Full Moon Magic are wisely designed and beautifully presented. They offer individuals, and groups, a well-structured program for monthly full-moon meditations, as well as a deep and meaningful understanding of the transformational energies available through each of the signs of the zodiac.
