← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

What would an ideal friendship look like for you?

Dear Creatrix,

How are you today?

Have you been thinking about your friendships and what you would like to change when it comes to the relationships you have with your current friends or friends you’d like to make?

Because we are going to start diving in today.

As this is the last day of the first week, and the first week is all about assessing what we like and don’t like about our current situation to find out what we want to keep and cultivate and what we are ready to let go of, we will take some time today to think about all the friendships we had in our lives so far.

Who stayed and who disappeared?

Who would you maybe like to reach out to again?

Or who are the people who might currently take up more space in your life, than you would like for them to take up?

And who is missing?

You know best what your situation is like, and what you need.

And then we can begin to think about why good friendships are so important for a fulfilling life.

In Chinese medicine, people are considered healthy when all areas of their life are running smoothly. This also includes a fulfilling social life. But this is not only true for Chinese Medicine.

When we look back at the Wheel of Life, which you might have filled in in the last chapter, we also see that the more all areas of our life are in balance, the more smoothly our life runs.

We can see the same in the Wheel of Colours, in other ancient wisdom traditions and in any holistic approach.

We each are the centre of the universe. Because our world, what we experience, the way we grow, evolves around each of us. We are the centre from where we see the world, from where we act and evolve.

But we are also one part of a whole – we don’t exist in a vacuum.

So our relationships influence our well-being.

The CREATRIX School is all about strengthening our core, our essence, growing our roots, getting familiar with who we are, how we work, our soul’s, our life’s purpose and how to live it – joyfully. And then to reach out and to connect with others.

In the Family chapter, we investigate our primary relationships, the ones we formed early in life with our parents and the ones we continue to hopefully nourish with the people we call family.

In the Relationships chapter, we talk about our intimate relationships, with one or more partners or lovers, or boyfriends, girlfriends and non-binary friends.

And in the Community chapter, we talk about a larger group of people we connect to, our community and our outreach to other people and how we can change the world together and on a bigger scale.

By forming a CREATRIX Crew of eight or so people in this chapter, and by getting clearer on what is important for us in our friendships, we will begin to form a steady base for our growth and development, but also for our joy and stability in life.

And for us to do this in the best possible way, we start by getting to know ourselves and our hopes, dreams and wishes better.

I’ve already asked you quite a few questions, and there are more coming, so be prepared. 🙂

In the last lesson, I asked you to start to imagine how you would love to be and what you would lo…

Practice: Building a Safe Cocoon

Building a safe cocoon

The practice comes in two or even three different versions, in this chapter.

I had this idea of creating a safe cocoon, to help us move through the world more peacefully, but my guides invited me to do something else, building a kind of Merkabah, a protective and empowering shield, so I will share both of these options with you to choose from, and even add in a protective bubble as well.

Ritual: Releasing Old Assumptions

A Ritual & Prayer to release old assumptions about our bodies

Many of the thoughts, assumptions we have about our bodies are not even our own. They are what we collected by living in this world. They are insecurities projected onto us by others.

So, today we will explore a way to release these assumptions that we have about our body, that no longer serve us, so we can have a better experience in our bodies from now on.

Welcome to a new chapter in the CREATRIX School

Our lives are such incredible miracles.

Everything is moving, is changing at all times. We are always in motion, life is always in motion. Life is motion.

And we will become more familiar with the motion of our bodies, and what we like about them and what we need them for, and how we can influence their well-being, and our natural, radiant beauty in the best possible way in this chapter.

In this lesson, we start by becoming more familiar with the topic and also more aware of our bodies.

How do our bodies interact with this world?

What do you (dis)like about your body? 👻

In today’s lesson, we will be very honest with ourselves, so we can heal and create the changes we wish for. 

For this, we are going to explore moments of feeling unsafe in our bodies, and moments in which we might have felt rejected for our bodies and how that has influenced our way of experiencing this world as well.

Then we’ll do a ritual to let go of the negativity we held on to about our bodies and begin to explore all the wonderful things we can do with our bodies.

And we will explore why it is necessary to love ourselves and our experience for creating changes in a peaceful and joyful way.

How can we heal ourselves?

If you have allergies, or get a cold every year, if you have chronic diseases, food intolerances, migraines, if you need glasses or hearing aids, or medication of any sorts, if you take painkillers occasionally or often, if you don’t feel healthy or fit mostly or all the time, or think that your health is going to deteriorate as you age, you are limiting yourself – and if you wish, we will change the way you think about yourself and these things in this lesson today.

Because you can learn to heal yourself with your thoughts alone.

Thoughts on ageing (happily) & the Wheel of Colours & our Health

Today, we will first look at a few quotes and ideas that I found that might be helpful with our process of changing our beliefs, and then we will look at our Wheel of Colours, to find out how it can help us with healing and balancing our lives as well.

After that, we will think about age, and ageing, as that is on the one hand, a construct and illusion as well, and a necessity at the same time. And for that, we will time-travel a bit.

It’s going to be fun!

Balancing our new routines

Our bodies often quite like for things to stay the same, so they might not be excited about us changing our routine.

Being aware of that will help us to set up routines that last. For that, we will start crazy small, and level up bit by bit.

And we look at how to resolve blockages that might keep us from starting at all.

What do we need to create our desired outcomes?

Today, we will think a bit about why we do what we do and how we can do it best.

How do we define ourselves?

In today’s lesson, we will come back to the beginning again in some ways and explore how our bodies interact with other people in new ways.

When we started, we realized that others often defined us, now, we can use this knowledge and experience consciously, to positively influence others with our way of being, while protecting ourselves.
