Opening a safe space, everything that arises wants to be seen, recognized and acknowledged. When this happens, healing can take place.
Protective layers are a high expression of competence
At the age of 45 it dawned on me that I really had very little idea of who I was. I had added layer by layer of protection (behavior and beliefs) in order to somehow get through completely overwhelming experiences in the past. Most of these experiences occurred in the early period of childhood, but also some before birth or even in previous lives.
Through my own experiences and the fact that I was allowed to accompany many others in their trials, I got more and more a sense of how we „work“.
I realized how attitudes and beliefs shape the image of ourselves as a person. Amazing how much we hang onto these structures and defend them. This shows that we have really needed them!
I dare to claim: Without them we would not have survived. With great skill we have carefully adapted to the conditions to which we were exposed and then transferred this conditioning into the subconscious. From there, they control us and make sure that we never feel those feelings of overwhelm again. Only when we realize and understand that we still run these automatic programs and reactions, are we able to part with them.
Letting inner wisdom lead
My own experience and the accompaniment of hundreds of people have shown me that our inner wisdom knows the way back to our true self. It will indicate exactly which protective layer or insight wants to come next into our consciousness. When we leave the lead to this wisdom, we will not be overwhelmed.
Each human being has his or her own unique way back to themselves. Everyone possesses a deep wisdom which is connected to a higher intelligence. Therefore no session is the same.
The „magic“ space of awareness
In the space I call the “magic” space, everything that arises through the inner wisdom is welcome – just the way it is. It can show itself in movement, through expression, or in emotions. Everything is welcome. I love to open up this space and hold it. This allows that we can look at it, rather than be in the middle of it, or swallowed up in it. As spectators we are aware conscious adults, who can, for example, empathize with the feelings of a child who is completely overwhelmed. We can experience these feelings as a witness without the need to protect ourselves. Everything can be as it is. This keen awareness that holds the space creates change. I am always deeply touched when in such a process compassionate connection and reconciliation with the inner child is possible. I also find it fascinating that we no longer need to protect ourselves from feelings that were allowed to “be there”. The layers that made sure these feelings were avoided dissolve, and the heart can open up further.
Real is only what we believe to be true
Phrases like „We only hit the limits we believe in“ or “I experience what I believe,“ point toward a great scope of freedom we can embrace when we wake up. I take great pleasure in extending my limits, each time a little further, and taking my experiences as a mirror which allows me to realize that what I put in front of the mirror is what I still hold as being true. Having a conscious look in the mirror, I can learn a lot about myself and gain freedom of choice. Then victimhood has really no more chance at all. In deepest consequence, I am responsible for what I experience.
Experiencing the big shift as a path into new dimensions
We live in a very special time of change and awakening. While traditional structures are increasingly crumbling down, it dawnes on more and more of us that a bigger potential lies dormant in us human beings. We begin to sense that there is a much greater level of Reality than the one we can feel and see. We begin to realize what powerful beings we really are. We recognize and overcome increasingly the habit of projecting experiences of the past blindly and automatically into the future and of considering as possible only that which we already know.
Our awareness is growing of how we generate manifestation, and that by opening ourselves to true love and aligning with higher intelligence, there are no limits for us.
Our heart plays a central role
Our heart is the link between our divine and our human nature. As humans we may have had many experiences of violence and suffering. Our heart has become relatively inaccessible because we have encapsuled it in protective layers.
In order to free our hearts from this protection or armor, we need, among other things, a connection to higher dimensions. We need this connection to be able to span the „magic space“ in which then awareness and integration may arise and thus freedom from fear and the openness to be touched can prevail.
But be careful!
At some point I realized that the connection to higher levels can become a fairly elegant protective measure as well, as long as I don´t get back „down“ and into my physical heart, into the human body, into the here and now of everyday life. That’s what I’ve always wanted so much: that those who have a strong connection to higher levels at the same time are present, accessible and touchable on a personal level. Here I see a clear invitation to myself: „Walk your Talk!“
