Summary

Karen's spiritual journey has been long and eventful, with many insights, realizations and awakenings. She has been blessed by the influence and support of wonderful teachers including Joel Goldsmith, Eckhart Tolle and Pamela Wilson. After many years and much investigation, Karen came home to the truth that freedom can only be found within. She now offers group and private sessions to assist others in returning to a state of wholeness and embodying the essence of true nature. Her down-to-earth approach helps bring spiritual reality from the conceptual to the experiential.

0:07.0	The Welcome to Buddha at the gas pump.
0:27.6	My name is Rick Archer and my guest today is Karen McPhee.
0:31.6	Welcome, Karen.
0:32.6	Nice to be here, Rick.
0:34.6	We'll introduce Karen in more detail in a minute. I just want to say in general that this is a show on which people who have had or are in the

0:47.3	There have been over 300 of them now.

1:51.8	Maybe you'd like to elaborate on that before I go on to the next one.
1:55.2	Well, there's one scene that comes to mind where, you know, it was really vivid and I was very young,
