Be honest, be open, be YOU!

 Be honest and......Be open......

Make sure you are open for new seeds as well.......

realise you also don't know everything yet.

On the other hand: make sure you share your truth.....

realise you are sending out seeds

without knowing were they will 

and need to land....

Mercury will go retrograde in August, starting from the 23th/

It's shadow starts at the 5th: 

look at your communication from the 5th till the 23th

and after that you can be mirrored 

by some old patterns you don't need anymore....

It is in Virgo, so: 

-are you being to critical, or are you a 'bit sloppy'?

-are you helping others and forgetting yourself?

-are you digesting to much from the outside world,

 or can you take in what you need and let go what is not for you....

Chiron went retrograde as well:

which wound needs some healing?

Do you take action or.....are you afraid to do this.

Perhaps.....it is both!

Someone I know wasn't to happy in her job,

and looked for a new one.

She got one and......needs to tell her old employer she is quitting.....

The last one is more challenging for her......

Letting go of the old is necessary

if you want to be open for new opportunity's....

Be brave, face challenges

so you can be more who you are!

I have itchy skin...

little bumps....

'not enough self confidence'

'irritation, no patience, you are blocking yourself

only blame it on others'

'Let go of others, be free'

'Be yourself, Know your worth'.....

-Christiane Beerlandt 'the key to Self Liberation'-

It looks like some 'old issues' want to go away......

and I.....am holding on to them.....

My inner child still believe it is best to hold on to it....

Can I make sure, as the adult, to let it know it is safe to let go?!?

We will see the coming time......

'The seed has been planted......'

With Mercury going retrograde,

I choose to listen to myself....

Can I hear the difference between control and power?

Do I take the time to listen to myself,

to my inner child? 

Am I brave enough to challenge my self?

Am I brave enough to challenge others?

Do I Know, that I am Brave...

Do I Know, I am 'powerful beyond measure'......

Do you Know, you are Brave and powerful

and have something special to contribute to society?

Take you time in August to investigate:

were did you lost this believe.....

And....perhaps you say

'I didn't lose this believe!'

If you look around and you live

your dream life, 

all your 5 pillars are in balance,

then you are right.......

I Know I don't believe it 100 %.....

even though I love the life I live.

I Know, 

because I get my limited believes

mirrored in society, from people I meet.

I shows me that there is still room for improvement

and......it makes me curious and looking forward

to all the adventures that will come.

My itchy skin went away.....

and I am grateful and happy.

Trusting and 'just' go on living helps.

August is also the month of Leo:

Fun, laughter, being YOU, leadership,

drama and self confidence......

The month of 'the Sun'.....

make sure it can shine,

so 'blow the clouds away'.....

Roots.....

 

After a period of letting go of old emotions,

it seems I am ready to let go of 'stuff'.

As I mentioned in a blog before: even books!

Yesterday I looked at my plants.

I needed to plant cuttings from a mother plant.

The old cutting  died already and had 3 new leaves,

lot's of roots only.....in water still, not in soil.

I planted them and start looking at the 'mother plant'.

 

It is a Monstera plant, we have two big ones.

One is 'the mother', 

the other started as a leave from this mother.

All of a sudden, I saw they didn't look that healthy anymore,

and I decided to take some leaves and start new ones.

I also decided to replant the two.

When I took them out of the pot,

I was shocked: you only could see roots.....

hardly any soil....

No wonder that they didn't look so healthy anymore!

I took cuttings and let the two 'old' plants go....

I realised that sometimes you/I can look to much at your roots,

your past, your upbringing.

You can forget that you can start a new phase......a 'new' life.

All that was good from the past,

is already inside of you,

and you can rebuild your life as you choose to.

Do we trust ourselves enough to go to the next phase,

or do we believe we need more roots, more safety/security.

Do we Know and remember it is inside each of us,

and the outside world is 'just' mirroring us?

People who have sessions with me,

know that I believe we are all One,

that we are mirroring each other

and.....to grow and heal

is an inside job.

So....I love kids....they are the best mirrors

and.....

society let us/parents believe they need

all kind of coaches, they need 'labels'

to solve 'issues'.

I is as if some parents still believe,

that kids should behave as society wants them to.

On the other hand you have parents

who believe kids don't need rules at all,

and 'forget' to give the rules/stability they need

to be part of society.

I believe the best thing we can do to help kids,

and society, 

is to be honest with ourselves,

be patient and have compassion with yourself.

Where do we compromise to much,

where are we still 'afraid to take responsibility....

I am so glad that someone wrote a book about it,

with 'professional' opinion about this.

- I realise by saying this, it shows that I am

sometimes still insecure about what I feel.

I also realise that this insecurity helped/s me

to stay open and curious for other peoples view :-)-

Realise that if you think you need sleep and eat coaches

you give a message to yourself that you are 'not good enough' and

a child can believe it is doing 'something wrong'......

It doesn't mean you can not ask for help: do!

It just means that it is time to heal your inner child,

so your child can be itself again....

As I see it: this is the quickest way.....

not always easy......

The plant on the first picture is for my daughter,

the daughter that mirrored my inner child big time ;-)

She helped me heal, touched my buttons,

and is an unique, authentic adult now.

Isn't it special that by planting 'her cuttings'

this all came up......

So what is the spiritual meaning of the Monstera plant:

-comfort and wellbeing for the people who live there

-it neutralises negative energy

-it brings happiness.

What a great plant to have in your house!

Let's see if the cuttings all get roots.

If they do, I let you know!

Enjoy letting go 

and be open for all the new beautiful things that wants to come to you,

and grow from the inside of you.

 

Choose to bee happy were you are Now

 I hope and wish you all enjoy the summer season.

It doesn't matter if you enjoy it in your own house,

or somewhere far away.

In both cases YOU are there.....

The moon Nodes changed this week: 

From Scorpio/Taurus to Aries/Libra.

These Nodes stay in a sign for 1 1/2 year.

Old Pain/War/passion that was hidden 

came up the last 1 1/2 year 

to helps us feel calm and safe inside of us.

Miss-use of power came up, 

sexual/intimidation from powerful people

and.....

people who were not so powerful yet.....

believed it was necessary to 

let other people 'miss-use' them

to feel powerful and to earn money....

 An old energy that -energy wise-needs to transform.

The energy of the last 1 1/2 year

helped us to feel so safe,

that we are ready to take action, to do something new.

If we are afraid to take action, than most likely

we like to stay in our comfort zone....

A zone that prevent us from growing

because a part of us is still afraid....

Where in our lives did we compromise to much,

where have we smiled, while being hurt inside,

where did we show polite dishonesty, instead of being honest...

where did we avoid conflicts and paid a high price for it.

In Holland the government fell...

change is needed...

Old leaders are moving to make place for new/young people.

Can we keep the good and change the new,

or do we believe we have to 'through everything away'?

If we do the last one,

we Know we still have old wounds that needs to be nurtured....

I choose to live gratefully,

to speak kindly,

smile freely,

inspire joyfully

and....

Forgive......first of all myself.....

I realise that I compromised to much

was sometimes politely dishonest

and avoided conflicts....

I get the coming 1 1/2 years to accept, heal, forgive

and change this.

I am grateful and......being more patient.....

everyday a little bit more.....

-not so easy ;-)-

I also am happy, enjoy life

and curious.

Curious what the coming time will bring.

I hope you are too

and.....

have loving people around you

that believe in you, trust you

and encourage you!

This can be helpful,

a reminder if you are not in balance yet...

Be nice to yourself,

be compassionate

and be patient....

Let go of the believe that you need to go to another place to be happy....

Remember: you always take yourself with you!

Peace inside of us.

Most of us know this with our head....

To practice it, is more challenging.

It has to do with emotions, feelings

and those take time......

as long as they need....

Emotions touch old hurt feelings,

they touch our wounded inner child

and....

that part still 'believes' it knows how to protect you,

the adult, 

even though that part is still a child....

It has to Know from the adult you 

that there is now another to deal with it.

It has to hear from your 'adult mind' that it is not alone anymore...

It has to hear that there is enough time,

and it gets compassion and as much time as it needs,

it has to hear to take it easy, be patient.

It also has to know that all these experiences

it went through, 

helped you, the adult, 

to be the unique person you are now....

A few blogs ago I wrote that I was tired.

I didn't like the feeling and....I Knew it 'was as it was'

and I 'just' had to accept it.

It gave me the time

to honestly look at what the world around me was mirroring me...

I took time for me, 

nice talks with people,

enjoyed reading and....relaxed...

I did and.....a few days ago,

'al of a sudden' I got my energy back :-)

It felt great!

I even could let go of books all of a sudden!

 -Perhaps you remember that I followed Mary Kundo's 

cleaning rules a few years ago and......

to let go of books was not possible for me then.-

Now I could let go and

made a lot of people very happy,

with the books 

that were just collecting dust in my bookcases...

I re-arranged, cleared and was happy.

I also realised that there is still more to do and...

it can wait for now :-).

-Apparently Mary Kundo changed her philosophy

after she became a mom:

her method was not as straight forward

as she believed it was....if you are not alone ;-)-

Isn't that with all our believes and plans?

Sometimes live shows us that it is time to make changes....

Only.....you need to be ready.

So listen to your body, be patient, have compassion,

most of all with yourself!

We are all members of different groups,

every group has it's rules.

It is very easy to get a narrow view if you follow the group

without thinking for your self.

Most likely you experienced group dynamics.

We are all part of different groups:

country's, family's, little towns, sports clubs, friends, work,

smokers, not smokers, bikers,

mom's, dad's, grandparents.....

these are just a few of them.

Every group has it's own rules 

and if you question some rules, 

most likely you will be challenged by 'the majority'.

For us people, who are a social breed, 

who can not live by ourselves alone,

this is very challenging.

It touches a survival part in us

and we are challenged: 

'can we survive without the rest of the group'

Sometimes we put our own norms and values to the background

because 'we like to belong'.

We are to afraid of the consequences,

not strong enough yet to 'Just Be'.

We forget that we are group people

and also like to be unique and authentic.

It is not or/or,

it is/should be and/and.

Can you belong to different group and still be respected

or will you be cancelled...

Do we forget we have our own pink glasses,

and have our own blinkered view.

How open minded are we?!?

Just to question this can help you see......

Accepting that you don't know it all

makes you curious....

Challenges, like being tired,

can help you to let go.

And even if you don't know exactly 

how you got your energy back -like me-

trust and be grateful that you are being helped.

 Let's change the 'trying'....

'You just go on make good things happen'
