Take your chance

We are entering September and slowly we can feel that the time of summer is passing and we are heading towards autumn. We feel the rising wind, rain and after a phase of supposed standstill, we head to new shores. Right now, after all this "idleness," it may seem like there's a lot of things on this planet and within us that are overwhelming. Sometimes you almost don't even know what's happening to you anymore... 😀 And it can happen that feelings of tightness, of being crushed, of ignorance and for some of us almost a certain depression arise that make life seem difficult. And in all of this, if we want to, an infinite number of opportunities can be identified.

We are moving in a phase of ever-increasing duality, which can be recognized more and more consciously on the outside and inside. One time like this, the other time like this. Some are for it, others against it. Fight here, fight there. We can feel as if we are being spun, tossed from side to side, swaying on our ship of life. We feel like we have to expend so much energy keeping the boat on course that we forget about everything else. This energy, which we suck out of ourselves for this purpose, is missing elsewhere. We miss it for our relaxation, for our creativity, our practice, our family, our friends, our projects, ..., US!

It is very easy for us to overlook the fact that in this tense time life has given us so many opportunities that just want to be seized. We can wish and before we know it it's already there! This can be a career change, the final start of a new idea or just a book that we have wanted to read for a long time. But above all, we get the chance to be unconditionally honest with ourselves and the rest of us. We can freely admit within ourselves what moves, hinders, manipulates, pulls us down, makes us strong and weak and makes life seem difficult or easy. It is a radical openness that reveals itself to us. She asks us to bring the wishy-washy of the past into our hearts, smile and just let love do it! The time of waiting is over! The time for excuses has passed! The time of departure and courage is here!

When I read such lines myself, I sometimes get the feeling, "Oh my God, what I'm doing now must be huge". Do we even have the power (as we think we know it...;-))? Are we ready for this? It's not about the size, intensity or difficulty of the task. It's not even a matter of whether we make it or not. It's just a matter of listening to our heart and following the little voice that guides us in the given direction. What is there to be seen? What is triggered in me to be healed? What is the social situation doing to me and why? What can I change or keep to make my heart happy and not my personality? What is happiness anyway?

The happiness of our life is in our own hands. We ourselves determine what the outside triggers in us and how we deal with it. We're in control! And yes, I can understand if you now have the feeling that this is not always possible. And that's perfectly okay! You and all your actions are already perfect! Can you remember that this is exactly why you came here? But can you remember that you came here because you decided with your life to just take a walk around the planet? It is up to us what we make of it! And as always, there is no right or wrong, just what is.

So what is present in your life at the moment that shows up and wants to be "taken hold of"? What opportunities do you see in the "today's chaos"? What happens when you come out of the locked "summer slump", open your eyes and feel the magical light of late summer on your skin? The ears of corn are ready to be harvested! Some are small, some are big, but they are there! They are waiting for you! Life is waiting for you! Take your chance, discover pure life - that's the line of a song I wrote years ago! Are you coming? Do you want to be courageous with all of us and set off into a new era? Do you want to raise us all with us? Do you want to be there today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? We await you with open arms and unconditional love!

From the bottom of my heart I wish you a wonderful start to September and I'm already looking forward to seeing you!

With all love,
