- Business name: Carol Pilkington
- Overview of your business:
I work with adults 40 and above who have achieved a certain level of career success but still feel unsatisfied. They sense they are here to make a difference but are not even sure what that difference is. I help them connect with their true purpose so they can be fully alive and full of joy.
- What makes you unique?
My training is what makes me unique in that I have an eclectic background in many modalities, holistic systems, and methods. It provides me with a wealth of different sources from which to draw data and metaphysical principles and concepts to introduce to my clients and students that prohibits dogma. I have had numerous mystical experiences (without the assistance of drugs) and have experienced altered states of consciousness. I teach people how to contemplate and go deeper into the nature of a subject matter to arrive at an answer based on experience, not intellect.
- Why you do what you do:
I feel we each are here to evolve our own consciousness as well as the larger consciousness system. Therefore, I feel it is an honor and responsibility. There is a quote from Carl Jung that sums it up quite well. “Free will is the ability to do gladly that which I must do.”
- The pain you solve for your clients and how their life or business is changed because of working with you.
If one’s life changes so does, therefore one’s business. There is an illusionary split; however you cannot have one thing affected without the other. The pain of not living in fullness and joy is so great that generally speaking most people are numb to its depths. It is the pain of not being satiated with Life.
- What you do for fun, what brings joy to your life:
I enjoy the work that I do as I love to see the light bulbs light when clients and students make discovers and experience shifts in the way they perceive themselves and the world around them. It is life altering.
I love getting together with friends for a movie and then discussing it over a meal afterwards. I like going to the beach, taking short/long drives which puts me in a more contemplative state and opens me up and regenerates me. I love to read and watch videos of many different metaphysicians, teachers, etc.
- Anything else of interest that you would like to share:
I think one of the most important things I’ve learned along my journey is the importance of reducing and eliminating chaos wherever possible so that there is more order in my life. As there is order in one’s life there is order around them. This is a conscious effort every day. Tom Campbell who is a former NASA physicist wrote a book called My Big TOE (Theory Of Everything) in which he brings together physics, metaphysics and philosophy. You can find his many videos on YouTube. He says we are either lowering entropy or increasing it. Entropy is a term used in physics to measure order, either increase or decrease. In human terms it is the measure of order vs. chaos in one’s life. Therefore, a question to ask and observe throughout our day is “Am I lowering entropy (order) for me and other or am I increasing (chaos) it?”
