Meet Claire Marie Kohout, owner of CMK Energy LLC, Healing Energy Therapist, Intuitive and Transformational Speaker and Author. In the soon-available book, The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools for Transformation, Clarie Marie shares a story and meditation for surrender so you can find your authentic alignment.
The Wellness Universe (WU): Hello (Claire Marie), please tell us about yourself and what inspired you to write your chapter in the book The Wellness Universe Guide to Complete Self-Care: 25 Tools For Transformation.
Claire Marie Kohout (CMK): Hello Wellness Universe. I am a Healing Energy Therapist, Intuitive, Transformational Speaker, and Author. I reside in the beautiful and sacred St. Croix River Valley, nestled between Minnesota and Wisconsin. As a child, I possessed a “knowing” which was lost or forgotten as I grew older and listened to external voices. It has required significant effort and connection to Universal Energy to reclaim this understanding, and I am overjoyed to be here, offering support to others as they embark on their own journeys towards their highest good.
Throughout my life, I have encountered numerous moments that required self-discovery or awareness and the revelation of my unique voice. Amidst the overwhelming influx of external information, I learned the importance of surrendering to my true self. This journey of surrender has brought me to the wonderful life I now cherish, and I am eager to share how others can achieve the same fulfillment.
WU: What tool do you share in this book, and what can we expect to experience as a result of using this tool?
CMK: I share a tool of meditation for surrender and release. I also offer a perspective on surrender that allows each of us to let go of life situations, choices and ideas that may not be our own or for our highest good. Understanding what we are resisting (judgement, shoulds, right & wrong) allows us to release it and find our independent flow.
WU: Can you share with us one way you found surrender helpful in your life?
CMK: Yes. I had to surrender to my own sexuality and personal identity as a queer woman. Not only LGBTQIA+, but I use the word queer to being outside the norm of society. I am a fat, bold, vibrant woman who is married to a woman and doesn’t want to have children. I spend my life loving family and friends as hard as I can, and try to change the world by loving deeply every day. In today’s society, I shouldn’t be allowed to exist. Yet I do…happily, and I thrive every day in my life.
