Forgiveness is a powerful tool we can use

Everybody seems to talk about forgiveness, but what does it actually mean? Forgiving is essentially letting go. If you have no more harsh judgments or strong emotions about someone, you have forgiven.

How can we forgive? What is the process of forgiving?

Forgiving means most of all understanding. There is no forgiveness without clarity. Clarity about what happened. Clarity about the actions that took place. Clarity about your feelings. Clarity about the damage that was done.

Go into CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) mode. What are the details of the situation? This helps you to get from someone who is involved to an observer. And the more you become an observer, the more you can distance yourself from what happened.

The moment you can distance yourself from the situation is the moment you come out of it. You step out of the actual situation. And so you become able to move on with your life. You´re not stuck in it anymore.

Things happened. The facts don´t change. But you can leave them behind. That´s what you want.

You will have to do this again and again. There will be something that reminds you of what happened. Then go into observer mode. Distance yourself. And move on.

This is forgiveness. Facts don´t change. But you can leave them behind.

Find out what your dreams want to tell you

Do you sometimes have the feeling your dreams want to tell you something? You´re right. Find out here what their message is.

What is a dream?

Usually, there is a lot going on in your dreams. That´s why people were always interested in finding out what they might mean. They sensed that there is something to it. Something they couldn´t grab. But they felt that there must be more to them.

Dreams are, from my perspective, another reality. They show us experiences in our consciousness, our subconsciousness. Even experiences from other realms or other lives.

How can you know what your dreams want to tell you?

In our dreams, like in our daily lives, we learn, we grow and evolve. So if you have pleasant dreams, you are on a good path in your life. Whereas if you have unpleasant dreams, you are off the path.

Finding the message

Now how can you find the message of your dreams? What do you remember? Everything you remember is important. What you don´t remember, you don´t need to know.

Let´s take a closer look at what you remember. Your associations will show you the message of your dream.

If you remember people: What are their dominant character traits? How did you interact with these people?

If you remember a landscape? What stands out for you? How do you feel about it?

Is there anything else you remember? What stands out for you? How did you interact and how do you feel about it?

Makes notes. And connect the dots. This is your dream´s message.

Living with a Spirit Animal Zoo

It is most likely you have heard about Spirit Animals before. But do you understand what a Spirit Animal is? Any idea yet? 

In my experience, they are representing a „force“ that the animals here on earth embody. What kind of force? Well, take elephants. They are strong, they are sensitive, they have thick skin, they love to play and are very connected to their family. These are only some of their traits. These traits are represented through the Spirit Animal if it is an elephant. 

You only have to take a close look at the habits and the strengths of an animal. Then you can discover what kind of energy they represent. 

Has everybody got a Spirit Animal? 

Of course, these are forces that are accessible to every human being. We are part of nature, and so every force that exists is connected to us. But not everybody is drawn to every Spirit Animal. Most people are attracted only to a few. 

How many Spirit Animals are here for you?

Every Spirit Animal is available for everyone. Most people are drawn to different Animals at different times in their lives. Sometimes people have got strong character traits. And they don´t change very much during their whole life. These people are drawn to a specific animal that represents this character trait. There are no limits. 

How do we know which one is ours? 

There are 3 basic methods to find out: 

1. Meditation 

Visualize yourself in nature and wait for an animal to approach you. The one that makes direct contact with you is your Spirit Animal at this moment. 

2. Choose one that attracts you

You can always choose the one you are attracted to. You are attracted for a reason. 

3. Pick one with special character traits

If you want to develop a special character trait, you can connect to one that´s got this trait. Pick the elephant for thick skin. Pick the eagle to get a view of the bigger picture. Pick the beaver to build something big. 

How do you make contact? 

You must establish a connection to your Spirit Animal so you can access the force it represents. You can do this in any way you like. Let your inspiration guide you, there are no limits and no musts. 

Using creativity is helpful to open yourself to the force of the Spirit Animal. Deepening your connection in any way is working with this force of nature. You can also ask yourself: What would the Spirit Animal do? 

There are 3 easy ways to connect with a Spirit Animal. 

1. Getting information about the animal 

Use the Internet or any source of information to find out how this animal behaves. Then ask yourself: How can I use these traits in my life? 

2. Surround yourself with the animal 

Use pictures or little statues, whatever you find beautiful. 

3. Visualizing 

Imagine yourself being with the animal and talking to it. What would it say to you? 

How do you know when your time together has come to an end? 

This one is easy. If you begin to feel neutral towards the animal. When there is no more attraction, it´s time to move on to another one. 

Have fun with this! And connect with your Spirit Animal often. You will want to strengthen your relationship. So you can benefit from this wonderful force of nature.

3 simple and easy ways to balance your energy every day

Everybody can do energy balancing

That´s a fact. It´s like singing. If you are not disabled in any form you can sing. Some people are natural talents. some could but don´t do it. And everybody who wants to invest some time can get better. So if you can do something that benefits you – why wouldn´t you?

Then - what´s the problem?

My biggest challenge with energy balancing was always finding time for it. Of course, I knew it would benefit me, and I knew that I could do it. 

What was the problem? I had to find a way to integrate it into my daily life like brushing my teeth and eating breakfast. And to do that, it had to be simple and not taking too much time. Otherwise, I would have been tempted to skip it. 

So, in the end, I came up with these 3 simple and easy methods to balance my energy daily: 

1. Breathing

Breath is a symbol of two fundamental forces in our life – allowing and letting go. If these two are in harmony, our whole life is more balanced. 

Taking 9 deep breaths is a wonderful exercise to keep my energy in a balanced state. Starting with letting go – then allowing the new energy to come in. Repeat as often as possible.

2. Light/colors 

I believe that we are at the core frequencies we see as a solid thing because our eyes are set up this way. What would we see if we looked at our body through an electronic microscope? There´s a lot of movement going on. 

And what else is a frequency we can see in a specific way? Colors. Different colors have got different frequencies. So for me, it makes sense to match these two and use colors to balance our own energy. 

If you are feeling unwell, give this feeling a color. Is it black, grey, or a muddy orange? Every color you assign to this feeling is the right one for you. Now choose a color that feels the opposite to you. 

For example, your feeling-unwell-color is a muddy orange. The opposite color could be a clear blue. Choose whatever feels right for you. You can´t do this wrong. It´s all about your feeling. 

Now imagine breathing the unwell-color out and then breathing the opposite color in. In our example breathing the muddy orange out and breathing the clear blue in. 9 times out, 9 times in. In my experience, this has an amazing balancing effect on me.

3. Hands-on 

Another easy to do method is using your hands to balance your energy. What is your natural reflex when you´ve got pain somewhere in your body? You put your hand on it because it feels better when you do that. 

Don´t want until you´ve got pain in your body. Put your hand on any area of your body that needs some balancing energy. close your eyes (it´s important to concentrate on what you do) and let your hand do the work. Leave it there until you feel some kind of shift in your feeling, in the energy of the area. 

That´s it. Don´t underestimate this because it is so simple and easy! It can have a profound effect on your wellbeing if you do this on a regular basis. 

These are my 3 simple and easy daily energy balancing routines. Give them a try and see if you can feel a difference after some days.

Give the magic in your life a chance! 

Affirmations don´t work for me - why?

What affirmations are not

Can you make yourself healthy by telling yourself that you´re healthy? This is a BIG question and not easy to answer.

We are talking about affirmations. Let´s make clear what affirmations are not: If you repeat a sentence over and over, that´s not an affirmation. It´s repeating words. Totally different.

Affirmations give your thoughts a new direction

Let´s take a look at the deeper meaning of an affirmation to get clear about this. What an affirmation should do for you is giving your mind and your thoughts a new direction.

This is easy to understand. Every day we think hundreds and thousands of thoughts, we are thinking all the time. And most of the time, our thoughts go in a similar direction. If our thoughts go into the same direction all the time, this is what we call a belief.

There are helpful beliefs that we have about our lives, for example, the belief that the sun will rise the next day. The belief that we can sit on something that looks like a chair. Definitely helpful in our daily lives.

What we want to talk about here are the beliefs we´ve got about ourselves. Because these are the most defining beliefs for our lives.

How did we form these beliefs?

We formed them by experience in early childhood. We are seeing ourselves in the way that our environment reflects us. I am the funny one, I am the pretty one, I am the helpful one. Or I am the bad one, I am the ugly one, I am the outcast.

The first ones we would call positive beliefs, the second one negative beliefs. But what they have both in common is that they are limiting beliefs.

Let´s take for example the belief that I am the funny one. Sounds great, but what about the days when I don´t feel like being funny? What is the alternative?

Or let´s take the example of I am the pretty one. What if I get ill and lose my hair? What about my identity as the pretty one now?

Using affirmations with an intention

So the trick is to use an affirmation to acknowledge where we are now. Then define the direction we want to choose in our lives. This would be: I love being funny and I´m fine when I´m not. I love being pretty and I´m fine when I´m not.

This is our intention: Acknowledging - moving on. No ignoring and no limitation.

What is your constructive affirmation?

Bringing my crystals into my daily life - simple and easy

I´ve got so many crystals but I just don´t have a plan how to work with them. Let´s come up with some new ideas here...

What can crystals add to my life?

Their frequency influences me whenever they are in my aura or when I use them in my drinking water. Their healing and balancing qualities support my healing and wellbeing.

How can I choose a crystal for me?

The easiest way is just choosing a color that attracts me. What is highly recommended is choosing a color that repels me. If this is the case I know that I need to integrate this frequency into my being.

Other methods are: Using a pendulum, drawing a card or asking a guide or an angel.

How can I work with the crystal for healing and balancing?

The easiest way is simply putting the crystal into my pocket and carrying it around with me. Another way to use their healing frequency is putting them into my drinking water. Although this is not recommended because of unforeseen chemical reactions.

A wonderful way to work with them is placing one under my pillow during night time. This is an optimal time to be influenced by the healing and balancing qualities.

How do I know if our time together has come to an end?

An easy way to know if it is time to choose another crystal is by holding it in my hand every day. If it feels good holding it - continue! If it doesn´t feel good holding it - continue!

When I can´t feel any reaction at all - now it is time to choose another one.

How do I care for them as long as I work with them?

There´s no need to do something special. If I want I can rinse them under running water.

What else can I do with them?

There are a lot of other things I could do but they all would involve a lot of thinking. This is not helpful in my case.

Let´s choose a crystal for me now!

I will take one that I´m attracted to and put it into my pocket. And I will take one that I just can´t stand and I will put under my pillow.

Mirror, mirror on the wall... why should I talk to you?

A tool to have a better relationship with yourself

Mirrow work is one of the most effective tools to develop a deeper connection and a better relationship with yourself.

You talk to yourself all the time anyway, why not do it in a positive and effective way?

What is mirror work?

Mirror work is you standing in front of a mirror, looking yourself deep in the eyes and talking to yourself.

Why would you want to do something like that?

People who are talking to themselves are known as being weird. But actually everybody is talking to themselves all day long. Most of them don´t do it loudly so nobody thinks they are some weirdo.

The difference between your normal self talk and mirror walk is that you are talking to yourself deliberately and not somewhere in the back of your mind. In fact, your conversation with yourself is one of the most important and effective you can have in your life.

Wouldn´t you want to use this possibility if it´s in your best interest to do so?

The deepest form of contact you can have is looking someone deep in the eyes. Remember the movie AVATAR? “I see you.” It is one of our deepest wishes as a human being to be seen.

So give yourself this gift and get in real contact with yourself.

So how do you do mirror work?

It´s you standing in front of your mirror, looking yourself in the eyes and starting to talk. You can choose any topic that is important to you at the moment: A problem you think about, your dreams and plans for the future or you can just ask yourself “how was your day, Darling?”.

What is very helpful is when you can establish a routine in your day for your mirror work. And the topic you should choose for this routine is telling yourself how much you love yourself. No matter what.

Should you choose a special place for your mirror work?

The only things you need are yourself and your mirror. You can do this anywhere you want.

There are only two requirements: You must be able to see your eyes clearly so you can make contact with yourself. And you must be alone and sure nobody will disturb you for the time your are doing this.

When and how often should you do your mirror work?

The more the better is the rule of thumb here. You want to keep the conversation with yourself going. So use every possibility you have. Even 2 or 3 sentences will make a big difference in your day.

What is good to establish is a daily date with yourself. Perhaps in the morning, perhaps in the evening when you are alone, after brushing your teeths.

Give yourself this time. You are worth it.

Who will benefit the most from mirror work?

Mirror work will benefit literally anybody. Because having a deliberate self talk will improve your relationship with yourself.

It´s especially good for people who want to get to know themselves better, if they lost connection with themselves somewhere along the way. And last but not least it´s a great tool to develop more self love in your life.

Now it´s up to you!

Do you need to develop a better relationship with yourself? Do you need more self love in your life?

Then start talking to yourself. Use every opportunity you get for doing this.

And develop a routine for your telling yourself that you love yourself. You deserve your own time for doing this!
