Do you have a Spirit Guide?

A lot of people are interested in Spirit Guides. They would love to know if they have one, too. How they can connect with their Spirit Guide.

There are 3 simple and easy ways to do this. I will explain them here. If you want to know more about Spirit Guides, I recommend the work of Sonia Choquette (https://soniachoquette.net/).

OK, here are your 3 ways to connect with your Spirit Guide:

1. Writing
   
   You can simply write to them. Take your journal or a piece of paper and write a letter to them. Then write down their answer - without thinking about it! When you start thinking, you will write down your own answers. Just let it flow, and read it later.
   
   
2. Meditation
   
   Go on an inner journey to meet them. Imagine a house where you have made an appointment to meet. You are waiting before the house, the door opens - and your Guide comes out. You can ask your Guide anything you want.
   
   
3. Ask for signs
   
   If writing and meditating is not your thing, ask for signs. Ask your Guide to give you a sign that shows you that they are here. It could be a feeling like somebody is touching you. Or it suddenly gets very hot or very cold on your skin. You will know that this is real and not made up.
   

And then just talk to them like you would to any other person. Ask questions, tell them about your challenges. 

You will receive answers. If not immediately, then in the next days. Just be open and aware of any solutions to your problems that are presented to you.

Have fun!

Your Spiritual Support Team

Are you going through difficult times? Having a problem that comes up again and again and you don´t seem to move forward towards a solution? Well, I guess you need some help.

Let me introduce to you: The Spiritual Support Team!

Who is part of your Spiritual Support Team? Anyone you ask for help from the spiritual realm!

It could be an Angel, could be an Ascended Master, or a Fairy. It could be an Animal Spirit or one of your Loved Ones in Heaven.

You can ask as many as you want to support you. Usually, I prefer 4 of them to make it easier for me.

It´s like the Angel Prescription from Radleigh Valentine (check him out here). You choose 2 supporters to have your back and ask them to stand behind you, one on the left, one on the right. And then you choose 2 other supporters to show you the way and to help you move forward with this situation. Ask them to be in front of you on the left and on the right.

I recommend asking them every morning to be with you and support you as long as your problem is a REAL PROBLEM. In the evening, thank them for their support and ask them to show you solutions during your dream time.

You can play with this. It´s only a suggestion. Have fun and best of luck for you!

A simple meditation routine

OK, meditation is great! I think we all can agree on that.

So - why don´t we all do it on a regular basis? I guess it´s like exercise. Everybody knows it´s good and healthy, but... how? when? where? Here I often get lost when I don´t have a plan to follow.

And if it´s other people´s plan, then usually it´s not a good fit for me. For my life, my preferences, my daily routines. So, in the end, I´ve got to come up with my own plan.

This is what I will do here and now.

Why do I want to meditate daily? Because it allows my mind to rest for a little while. It doesn´t have to think about anything, just floating along, relaxing. This is what this is all about for me.

How can I integrate meditation into my daily routines? Because if I don´t have a routine, things tend to get lost in the void of the to-do-list.

When does my mind need a little bit of time to relax? Definitely after work, to calm down. And before I go to sleep in the evening.

What kind of meditation will I do? I love the guided meditations, so I will set up my playlist and choose from there. I already have a bunch I got over the years. Now I only need to put them into one place and - here we go.

This is my new meditation routine - now come up with your own!

How to use the elements to balance your life

Do you want more balance in your life? Feeling balanced, living balanced?

You can, and it is not complicated at all!

If something is in balance, all its elements are in balance. Not too much of one thing (for example work), not too less of another thing (perhaps your family life). Balance means that every element has its place or its time.

To bring balance into your life, you can use the model of the elements air - fire - water - earth. Each element is a symbol of a different kind of quality in your life.

There are many layers in this model, but a simple explanation is this:

• Air = mental aspects of your life, what you think
• Fire = spiritual aspects of your life, what gives your life meaning
• Water = emotional aspects of your life, what you feel
• Earth = material aspects of your life, what you need for a living

If these elements are in balance, your whole life is in balance. 

How can you achieve this?

There are a lot of different ways to bring these elements into balance and you will find lots of suggestions on the internet. But I want to concentrate on an easy method that will have a large impact if you do it regularly.

Create an altar. And use it. 

The best place is in the heart, the center of your home. If this is not possible, choose any place you feel good about. 

Put something on your altar for each of the elements. Could be a feather for Air, a candle for Fire, a shell for Water and a stone for Earth. There is no right or wrong, choose what you feel connects you to the element. 

And then use it. Light the candle every day. Get fresh water. Get fresh flowers. 

By tending to your altar, you tend to the elements. And by tending to the elements you strengthen each one of them in your life. 

Simple and powerful!

You want more in your life? Try this!

So you want to have something in your life. Or more of something. More love, more fulfillment, more adventure, or whatever it may be.

And you try to get more of this. You have a goal, you have a plan, you do the work. 

But it is just not happening. You can see tiny successes that keep you going and keep you hoping. But you don´t get what you really want. It´s frustrating. 

What can you do?

Most people forget that to get more of something, you must be able to receive it. To receive more love, to receive more abundance, or whatever you want. 

Well, you think, of course, I would be able to receive everything. Is this true? How do you react when you get a compliment? Or a gift? Are you able to receive without hesitation? A lot of people are not. 

So if you have got problems receiving a little compliment, how about big love and abundance? You see the problem here?

To be able to receive you´ve got to open up. There are different ways to do this. Here are some:

• Journaling
  
  Use this journaling prompt: "I am open for (fill in the blank)". And then write down everything that comes to your mind. You will be surprised what obstacles are in your mind about receiving what you would love to have.
  
  
• Mirror-Work
  
  (see Mirror mirror on the wall - why should I talk to you?)
  Stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself that you are open for (fill in the blank). What is your reaction? Try to tell yourself that it is OK to receive. And watch what happens.
  
  
• Creativity
  
  Use your creativity to connect to this energy of opening up. You can draw, you can write a song, whatever inspires you is the right thing for you.

Give it a try! You´ve got nothing to lose, you can only win by opening yourself up to receive the blessings that are waiting for you in your life!

Tapping - your Secret Weapon

Have you heard about Tapping (EFT)? If not, you should learn about it, it´s awesome! You can take a look at it here: The Tapping Solution - Nick Ortner

Tapping can change the patterns in our systems. It is easy to do and extremely effective. But there is always this question: Where do I start?

The answer to this question is: Here and Now. Ask yourself: What is my biggest problem at the moment? Choose the one that comes to your mind first.

Then start tapping on this problem you´ve got at the moment. Start with "Even though I´ve got this problem with... I deeply love and accept myself."

After this, you start tapping through the points and while you do this, you talk about your problem. Talk about what happened, how you feel about it, what you think about it. Like you would tell someone else about your problem.

At some point, you will start to think about solutions to your problem. Talk about them and keep tapping. Just keep tapping until you are finished with everything that comes to your mind.

Can you feel the difference after tapping on your problem? Do this every day and your life will change for the better!

3 easy ways to use the cycles of the moon for your life

Why are the moon cycles important for us?

The moon has always been fascinating for humans throughout history. The connection of its changing nature with the cycles of nature was obvious. And so people took the phases of the moon into account for harvesting or working with wood.

What is the connection of the moon to human beings?

As we know the moon has got a huge impact on the water on our planet. And well, we are made 2/3 out of water. So is it likely there is some effect on us by the phases of the moon? You bet there is.

The energy of the moon phases

There are two main energies in the moon cycles. The waxing moon is the time to create "more of". The waning moon is the time to "let go of".

How can you work with the energy of the moon phases?

This is really simple to do. There are two turning points of the cycle and two questions to ask.

• The Full Moon: What do I want to let go in my life?
• The New Moon: What do I want more of in my life?

Working with your answers to these questions

There are 3 easy ways to work with your answers to these questions throughout the next phase of the moon.

• Drawing a daily card
  You can draw an oracle card daily about the thing you want to let go or that you want to have more of in your life.
  Use these follow-up questions:
  How can I let go? What is standing in my way to let go?
  How can I get more of / be more...? What is standing in my way to get more of / be more...?
  
• Journaling
  You can use the following journaling prompts:
  The last time I wanted to let go of this...
  Others look at me letting go of this and...
  I deserve letting go of this...
  Having more / being more of ... means to me...
  Others will react to me having more of / being more of...
  This is my future when I will have more of / be more of...
  
• Create an affirmation
  "I love letting go of... and I´m fine when I´m not."
  "I love having more of / being more... and I´m fine when I´m not."
  (On affirmations see Affirmations don´t work for me - why?)
  You can use it 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the evening in front of your mirror (see Mirror mirror on the wall - why should I talk to you?). You can also write it down 10 times every day.

As always, these are only suggestions. Let your creative juices flow and work with the phases of the moon and your answers to the questions in any way you feel good about. 

Connect to your Loved Ones in Heaven

What is death?

When someone dies, it´s only the body that really dies. A soul can never die. And when the body ends its life, the soul is no longer connected to it.

Where are those who died?

When the body has died and the soul lost the connection, they still exist in a different dimension. We call it Heaven.

Why would you want to connect to dead people?

Why would you want to connect to a living person? It´s the same reason. Most often the reason is your love for them.

How can you connect to a dead person?

The easiest way is to have a written conversation. You write what you want to tell them or what you want to ask them.

And then you write down their answer to you. Just let it flow, don´t even think about it before you write. You will feel that this is real and not at all made up in your own mind.

How often?

Connect to your loved ones as often as you wish. They love hearing from you!

The Power of Prayer

What is prayer exactly? Prayer is a combination of an intention with powerful help from above.

It´s like creating a powerful force field of good intention in your life.

So what is the best practice for prayers? Regular and consistent is key here. Pray 5 times a day. Choose the times that suit you and your daily life the best.

If it is possible where you are, light a candle. This helps to spark the power of your intention even more. Then pray:

"Dear God, Dear Angels, Dear Helpers of the Holy Light,
come and protect me from everything harmful in this world.
Help me and those I love to thrive in this life that is your gift to us.
Please show us the way to truth and to love.
Thank you!"

And now, expect miracles to happen!

Living with the Angels

The Angels are always by our side. They are by definition our heavenly helpers, created to spread love and wisdom. 

How can we use their help in our daily lives? What Angels don´t do is our homework. That´s not their job. 

Imagine being in school. And your teacher does all your homework for you. What do you learn? Nothing. 

Their job is to teach and to guide us to find our own way. To find our own solutions. So next time we are prepared and can handle a similar situation. 

How can you invite them to help you with your life challenges and dreams? An easy method is writing a letter. 

Dear Guardian Angel... or Dear Archangel Michael... And then you ask for their help and advice. This helps you to get clear about what you want to ask. Write down your question, your plea for help and advice. 

Then wait. The answer will come! Sometimes in unexpected ways. Be open. So you won´t miss it. If you missed it, ask again. That´s all. 

Please use this gigantic loving resource we have for our lives!
