Growth – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

This will be so much fun!
Every chapter is my favourite chapter, but this one is extra special.

In this chapter, we are going to find out, how incredibly powerful we are, how we hold the answers to all questions within, and how even, or especially, our fears, can help us to explore our desires and help us to grow and come back to being our true selves.

Are you ready to become (almost) fearless? And to open up to the joys of life? And to experience the natural flow of life?

Then let’s go! 💖

Learn how the Colour Green can help you to Create & Manifest

The Colour Green – Focus, Manifestation & Creative Power

With green, we enter into the second circle within the Wheel of Colours, that of manifestation.

Green invites us to take the first step in the process of creation or manifestation, by helping us to make up our minds and to focus on what we want or wish to achieve.

Manifestation is our human superpower, and in this article, you can learn how to use it for your own well-being and that of others.

INTEGRATION – Week 3 – Pt. 1

How inner peace can help us to sleep well

In this lesson we look at what we can do to find inner peace, hope for our future and our lives and influence the world in positive ways – so we know we’re doing our best and can sleep well.

Inner Child Archetypes and How They can Support Your Healing Journey

Meet the eight Inner Child Archetypes and find out how to work with them. They are the Magical/Innocent Child, the Curious Child, the Dependent Child, the Nature Child, the Divine Child, the Wounded Child, & the Orphan Child.

Why You Are Perfect Just the Way You Are

You Are Perfect ❤️

What is the first thing that comes to your mind, when you hear that you are perfect?
That you’re not perfect?

That you couldn’t be perfect because you made this mistake or didn’t do something like you were supposed to?

That you couldn’t be perfect because there was a time when you disappointed or hurt someone?

What if I told you that none of that mattered and that you are perfect, no matter what you do?

What if I shared with you that we are each perfect, exactly the way we are, simply because we exist?

🌈 You have the power to create your reality.

The Colours of YOUR Life

The Wheel of Colours can help you to get to know and understand yourself better – and to live an enlightened life.
You can order your personal and unique Wheel of Colours from me – and I also wrote some articles about the colours and their qualities, to help you activate them in your life – so you can have all you ever wished for (and more!).

Let the Colour Purple guide you to Completion and Wholeness

Let the Colour Purple guide you to Completion and Wholeness

The Colour Purple – Completion, Fulfilment, Healing & Wholeness

The colour green helps us to focus on what we want, pink helps us to create in our unique ways, and white supports us by aligning us with the right people and allowing us to connect with other people in the best possible ways.

Purple then completes the circle of manifestation by seeing what we wish for completed and living in gratefulness with the outcome of our manifestation/creation.

When we use the power of purple, everything, even the most daring ideas, become possible.

Discover how the Colour Orange can help you to Learn and Teach to Grow in Life

Discover how the Colour Orange can help you to Learn and Teach to Grow in Life

The Colour Orange – Learning, Experiencing & Teaching

Whenever we choose to live and learn, we thrive in life. Whenever we see an obstacle and choose to overcome it, we open up to new possibilities for ourselves.

It’s a bit like climbing up a mountain: the higher you get, or the more knowledge and experiences you gather, the more you can see and understand how things are connected and what the bigger picture looks like.

Orange helps you to keep climbing and experiencing and loving your experience, as you begin to understand that expansion is your destiny.

Learn how the Colour Grey can help you to live a Peaceful Life

Learn how the Colour Grey can help you to live a Peaceful Life

The Colour Grey – Authenticity, Equality, Honour & Respect

Finding a good balance between honour and respect and authenticity is something that many people struggle with.

Questions that arise here, and that the qualities of the colour grey can help us with, are around what’s right or wrong, what’s worth more or less, and how each of us fits into this whole system and can find their place and freely flourish and shine.

We need to honour ourselves and others equally to live in peace with each other – after all, we are all but different expressions of the same divine core.

Would you like to accelerate your growth? In the CREATRIX School we learn and grow together.

Creatrix School

The CREATRIX School can guide you through the year to bring clarity, confidence and connection into every area of your life.
Every week, three new lessons are added, with exercises, ideas and inspirations to help you start creating the life you truly desire.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 1

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 1

What’s your unique superpower?

We start this lesson with a short review of what we’ve learned in the last few lessons to resolve the most common problems found in communities today.

And then we begin to look at our unique superpowers, so we can become more confident in the way we contribute to any community, group or project we choose to support.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 2

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 2

What’s your favourite archetype?

In this lesson, we dive deeper into the roles we can inhabit in a group or community setting.

Are you better fit for a creative role or a leading role, or both, or something else?

Knowing what we are good at, and also thinking about what we would like to learn and grow into, can help us immensely to find our place in any community setting and to be able to contribute in the best possible way.

This is also a great resource if you’d ever like to start your own project or company and can help you make sure all vital roles will be covered so that the project can run in the best possible way.

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 3

Community – Week 3 – Pt. 3

What’s your (stress) archetype?

Of course, things don’t always go the way we want them too.

Sometimes we get stressed, overwhelmed, take on too much or don’t dare to step into our power.

But we can always change and learn and grow.

Looking at the Occasional Archetypes, like the thief, victim, fool, hero_ine, adventurer and so on can help us to recognize these archetypes in ourselves and others and help us to come back into balance, whenever we slip into them.

Community – Week 4 – Pt. 1

Community – Week 4 – Pt. 1

Let your heart be your guide

We end this chapter by thinking about forming temporary alliances, to help us come together for causes that affect us all – and how we can do that while also disagreeing on other things.

Community – Week 4 – Pt. 2

Community – Week 4 – Pt. 2

What have we learned this month?

In this lesson, we look back at the most important things we’ve learned over the last couple of weeks.

Community – Week 4 – Pt. 3

Community – Week 4 – Pt. 3

What would your Qu_ing-Self do?

In our final lesson, we celebrate all we’ve learned in this chapter and see how we can take it even one step further by asking ourselves what our highest self, our qu_ing -self, would do.

Practices

Every chapter of the CREATRIX School comes with a recipe, a practice and a ritual.
This way, we transform what we learn into something visible and something we can feel with all our senses.
This helps to make the changes stick and see the results of our changed realities.

Practice: Foot Massages

Practice: Foot Massages

The topic of this chapter is RELAX/ Family, right?

And maybe the relaxation fell a little bit short – so let’s counteract that with some foot massages.

Today is the day we will start to treat ourselves extra nicely, maybe create a new family tradition, and learn how to best massage our own and each other’s feet.

Practice: Conflict Resolution

Practice: Conflict Resolution

Let’s practice how to resolve conflicts peacefully

Don’t you sometimes wish you could get a do-over?

How often have you been in situations which have made you uncomfortable, in heated discussions, or in just a brief moment of something going on, and then, a few moments later, thought: If only I would have…

What if I told you, that you can actually practice these kinds of situations?
Let’s do it.

Ritual: Intention Setting

Ritual: Intention Setting

How to set your intentions for the highest good of all

This chapter is about the essence of life
– how we as people can live and work well with other people.

How we can communicate our needs and wishes and listen to those of others, so we can learn from each other and grow together.

To prepare ourselves for this, for a peaceful interaction with other human beings, intention setting is a wonderful way to help us to reach our goals here.

Recipe: Energy Balls

Recipe: Energy Balls

How about something sweet and healthy?

I love these little energy balls – they are sweet and tasty and healthy and can keep you going for a long time.

These energy balls are something great to bring to longer meetings or discussions, just for yourself – or for your team or community – as they’ll give you, and everyone else, the energy to get you through any topic 🙂

Recipe: Sourdough Starter & Bread

Recipe: Sourdough Starter & Bread

Have you ever wanted to bake your own bread?

I think it’s such a magical process and incredibly pleasing to knead the dough with your hands, form the loaf and watch it rise.

I’m in no way a master yet, but progressing, and here’s how I got started.

Dear Future Self

Dear Future Self is an ongoing series which takes a look at the presence in its impermanence. The idea is to capture a certain moment in time, a feeling, a wish, an encounter or experience and to recognize that the perspective on that moment will change.

My future self will know more than I do now, will have had more and different experiences than my current self, and will therefore have a different view on what I’m noticing now. Going back and forth, between these notes, also documents the steps in personal development and shifts and changes on an individual level.

Self-Actualizing, personal development, the search for more options, or simply experiencing growth and change for any reason, might feel weird, scary or uncertain. Yet impermanence or becoming is something we all share.

What Do You Do When There’s a War and neo-Nazis in Ukraine?

Are there neo-Nazis in Ukraine? It’s a scary feeling to have a war so close to home, something that I never hoped to experience. As a sensitive child who has heard many horrible stories about the first two world wars from my great-grandma and my grandparents, it was always my biggest fear.

I still remember the panic I had when I saw submarines practising in the Baltic Sea in the nineties when the war was going on in Yugoslavia and how I couldn’t stop crying. And how my Mum kept saying that it wasn’t here, that they’re not fighting here, but how I was unable to feel that separation.

🔮 What would your life look like, feel like, taste like, if you lived as your authentic self?

BODY // MIND // SOUL

To be able to live a long, healthy, successful and joyful life, we need to bring balance into our lives and align body, mind and soul.

If you’d like to find out which area of your life might need the most attention right now, you can download the FREE Wheel of Life worksheet.

Depending on your analysis, you might then want to learn more about healthy eating, exercise or other forms of physical self-care. For this, you’ll be able to find a lot of useful information in the BODY section of this blog.

If you’d like to focus on your mindfulness, your meditation practice, how you can change your thinking to support you better in life and other ways to train your mind for resilience and love, you’ll find information on that in the MIND section of this blog.

And lastly, we all need community, relations and collective growth – our soul wants you to experience that you are connected to all that is, so we can rejoice in this connection. You can find out more about this and other ways of creating loving and peaceful relationships in the SOUL section.
