Hi. My name is Karnit Wesseling, It’s a pleasure to meet you!
I practice and teach others how to improve decision-making processes for a more balanced, calmer and better life. I nurture flexibility in thinking and creativity and, every day, take on a holistic approach combining the head and the emotional world of the heart, recognizing the countless possibilities this integration opens up and the serenity it offers as a result.
Certified Attorney-at-Law in both Israel and the State of New York. My area of expertise is international law and litigation.
Being engaged in civil litigation, appearing almost every day in court, the idea for my research study stemmed from an attempt to understand the judiciary decision-making process, developing into: “The Nature of Judicial Intuition: Practical Theory of Judicial Intuition in View of Legitimacy Dilemmas”. This was a qualitative study during which I interviewed 24 judges on judicial intuition and decision-making processes. My conversations with these judges changed my life. What I did not expect, is that the research will transform my world, and send me on a self-search. The road is long and shaky, and there were unbearably difficult moments. I learned so much about myself and the world. I share my insights in lectures and writing.
Three values form the basis of the outlook on life I have adopted, and they will appear as recurring motifs in my writing, in their different variations:
Love- giving with no expectations to benefit in return.
Kindness – the ability to consider the welfare of others and to act agreeably without ulterior motives.
Justice – I am a hopeless legal romantic. Justice feels like justice.
Three-quarters of myself in Tel Aviv and one-quarter in New York. Any place I can lay down my yoga mat feels like home.
The Blog
This blog is my stage, my corner in the city square.
The writing in my blog integrates my research insights on intuition, on decision-making with my own personal life, from an understanding that apart from my formal studies, which contributed their part to my research, life is an enormous study space enabling not only learning but also implementation and development.
A word on feminism: For years I could not relate to this word – to me, it represented feminine radicalism, which was not me. After years of actually utilizing feminism, I came to the understanding that for me, the implementation of feminism means equality of freedom to choose what we want without guilt, from the understanding that we can and that we deserve. Just like that. My approach was positive in that I assume that the power to change is in all of our hands. As a woman, as a mother, as a sister, as an educator, as an employer and as an employee. Wherever you are, you have the ability to influence. We just need to choose out of awareness. The world will react accordingly. Many men are already there. What about you? Come on and join me.
