← CHAPTER OVERVIEW

Why a gratitude Practice?

Dear Creatrix,

I think we’ve all heard, that knowing how to find balance, or inner peace, is the highest good in today’s world.

It’s actually valued higher than money because no money in the world can buy you inner peace.

Yet, we can all have it for free.

All we have to do for it is to stop trying to please others and just be ourselves and listen to our heart’s desires.

I feel extremely grateful that I figured out a way for myself to live in balance and experience inner peace, if not at all times, then at least at most times.

And I’d like to share with you, today, how you can have that as well.

For it, it doesn’t matter how you feel now, what you’ve experienced in the past or what you believe in, all it takes is a desire to live a balanced and happy life.

I wasn’t born and raised to live in a state of inner peace, or be in balance – far from it.

I also had my reasons to go look for it, and it took me many years to get here. But it doesn’t have to take you as long, if you are willing to accept some help.

Why are our lives so busy and stressful?

If we take a low estimate, people say 60% of our diseases are caused by our lifestyle. Which means that those diseases can be prevented and healed if people change their way of life.

I would go even further and say that almost every disease can be healed by a change of lifestyle, as I had a chance to see myself heal diseases and my body in ways that no doctor expected or thought possible, simply by changing how I think about them.

We often think that this world is so complicated, when it is really very simple.

What makes life stressful and keeps us busy is that we don’t know what we are doing and why.

But we can take the time to figure it out, and once we do, we can come back to inner balance and peace with ease.

In the same way, what makes us sick, is fear. And fear comes from not trusting, not knowing and uncertainty.

So if we want to start living healthy and happy lives, find balance and come to a state of inner peace, strength and certainty, we have to begin to trust that everything is and will always be good – and do our part in making all decisions for the greatest good of all.

How far can you stretch your mind?

I know that when we look around, it often seems difficult to imagine that all is well.

And believe me when I say, that I did not always think this way.

I was so angry for most of my life. I couldn’t stand the fact that there was inequality, that there were people suffering, and I thought that I did not want to be happy as long as there were other people who were not.

A lot has changed since then, but I first had to reach a point in my life, where I felt so bad, that I did not want to continue in the way I lived, thinking, fearing, that if I don’t start treating my body better, it might give up at some point.

And this seems true for many. At some point in our lives, we realize that something has to change, or we ruin ourselves.

Constant stress, constant worry, trying to make ends meet or live a fulfilled and happy life, without really knowing how and seemingly too many balls in the air.

So, what can we do?
It is quite simple really.

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.

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.

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.
