Bad Business Karma: John Windwalker
Another business deal falls through. Another client
leaves. Employees are dropping like flies. You can blame your
management
team, your clients, or your technology. The real problem, however:
Bad Karma.
“Nothing happens without a cause,” says John Windwalker,
a metaphysician and clairvoyant who runs Windwalker Consulting at
133 Washington Road in Rocky Hill. “Let’s say I don’t like
somebody’s
attitude at work, so I start talking about them behind their back.
What I’m really doing is mirroring something in myself that I don’t
like and what will happen is people like that person that will keep
showing up in my life. That’s a big thing when it comes to bosses
and CEOs.”
Windwalker, who moved here from Sonoma, California, last year, wants
to help business people find inner peace and enhance their business
using instinct and creativity — to basically restore humanity
to business. “In western culture all of us work and we spend most
of our time there so we might as well make it something that is
enjoyable,
maybe even bordering on joyful,” he says. “We’re becoming
technology proficient but at the risk of losing our emotions, of
becoming
automatons. We can do what we love and love what we do. A lot of
things
come into business to influence our efforts, not the least of which
is stress and anxiety. I teach how to relieve stress and anxiety,
how to make our business environment more conducive to feeling
peaceful.”
On Sunday, February 6, Windwalker gives a seminar, “The Key to
Successful Business: Discovering the Power of Creative Feminine
Energy,”
at his office at 133 Washington Road in Rocky Hill at 6 p.m. Call
609-279-0550. Cost: $45.
Windwalker has been a consultant, conducting inner awareness and
creativity
seminars, for the past 14 years. He grew up on Long Island, where
he attended CW Post College on a football scholarship and studied
business for three years. He always loved meditation — he had
been practicing since age five — but in 1978 he picked up and
moved to California to become a hermit, meditating sometimes six hours
a day.
As a clairvoyant, Windwalker claims to use his sixth sense, what he
calls “Sacred Sight,” to intuit things — the cause of
a human disease, for example, or a disease afflicting a normally
healthy
business. In fact, Windwalker was hired by a bank in California to
sniff out why its real estate department was sinking. “What I
found was that there was a person who had been recently promoted to
vice president who hated her job to such a degree that she really
wanted that division to fail — she had a lot of resistance to
success,” he says. “She was good at having a veneer of being
successful and committed, but in truth she was just very angry.”
After the bank discovered it was an act of self-sabotage, the person
was removed.
Intuition — the ability to sense in people and in situations
things
like anger or deception, generosity and honesty — can be a
tremendous
asset in business, says Windwalker. “It’s gaining back trust,”
he says.
Men and women alike can tap into those instincts, but, says
Windwalker,
whose ideas may push the buttons of feminists, woman can access that
power easier because “women are change, women embrace change.”
“Masculine energy is the drive to get things done, and the
creative
thought is feminine,” he says. “Feminine energy is a much
finer energy — it’s feeling energy, it’s emotional — while
the male energy is accomplishing.”
At Windwalker’s seminar attendees will be introduced to a series of
techniques for relieving stress, dealing with pressure situations,
building confidence, and building better interpersonal relations.
Some tricks of the metaphysician:
Create a secret place, a place in your mind, a house,a room, or a favorite beach, where you can go for relaxation and innerpeace. “It’s a place in our minds that’s only ours, the seed ofour creativity,” he says. “You’ll be able to return theretime and again to create inner peace and poise.””Before you go to a meeting, you can go to your secret place sothat you never feel like you’re out of place,” says Windwalker.”It’s like recreating the calm feeling of your office, where youtend to be more relaxed and listen better.”Claim back feminine power. “For a long time amale-dominatedworld made sure that women took a subservient role, and that’schanging,”says Windwalker. “It’s going to keep changing. Women are goingto be the half of humanity that is more powerful than the male becausethings didn’t work the male way.””Business is just an extension of who we are,” saysWindwalker. “There’s a need for joy, a need for people to behonestwith themselves and others and do more socially conscious works, andhave the courage to pursue their dreams.”Previous StoryNext StoryCorrections or additions?This page is published by PrincetonInfo.com— the web site for U.S. 1 Newspaper in Princeton, New Jersey.
