Hot Summer Dreams!

HOT SUMMER DREAMS

What plans do you have for this summer? What dreams do you want to manifest and how can you go about making those dreams into reality? These days manifestation guru's all talk about the importance of action, action, action! Its the key ingredient to becoming a  manifestation queen or king. Here are three helpful things to consider when you are ready to become an epic dream maker.

1. Get Rid of Your Limitations  

Write it down on paper. When you write with a pen on paper you activate the creative part of your brain. Writing is a powerful tool that we must never replace with digital technology. Writing gets you in touch with your imagination and allows you to let go and get out of the box. What about thinking big? Be aware that the best way to train yourself to becoming an epic dream maker is by setting yourself up to win.

This does not mean don't think big, It just means break the big dream into bitesize chunks and start chewing on that first bite. I have the big dream of wanting to support many many people globally to find their inner strength, peace and clarity.  I would love to take the power of meditation into new  places it may not have gone yet. Like what about taking meditation into an african slum and seeing what happens when we unlock inner peace in individuals, in a place where even the most basic human comforts are not available?

In our limitations we sometimes underestimate the potential transformative effect, of empowering human beings with this kind of powerful inner wisdom. So what are the next steps I need to take, that will  take me in the direction of accomplishing my big dream? I already have a plan for this summer and know exactly what I would like to have done by the end of the summer. My plan is totally doable, therefore failure is not an option. I have set myself up to win and being a winner keeps your spirits and passion high. Set your goals in such a way that you think, I am a winner! 

2. Read it, Repeat it and Edit it

Its important to keep polishing the dream, revising it, revisiting it and redefining it.  Get it down to a one liner. The more you think about it, the more real it becomes and thats when the real magic starts happening. Don't get stuck in the how. How am I going to accomplish this? rather stay on the why? Why do you want this, why are you doing this?  why does this matter to you. The why is your fuel. When you keep connected to the why you will never run out of passion and determination.

My why is clear. I LOVE helping people find inner peace. There is nothing more beautiful in this world to me than seeing people get empowered. When they discover their inner light and beauty they transform themselves and in doing so they bring more light, love, happiness and peace into the world. I can wake up to this why and feel inspired, regardless of where on the journey I am, or how big the challenge seems at times. My why makes every part of the journey fulfilling.

3. Cultivate a Determination Mindset

Determination is a quality you want to nurture in order to become a powerful dream maker. Think of the process of making a baby. It needs time for the baby to grow in the mothers belly. Your thoughts need time to manifest into the real world. Don't be too quick to give up and also don't keep changing your mind. Take time to get really clear, by finding out who you really are in the core. Create dreams that make you shine, feel good and that create deep contentment in your life. 

However don't be afraid to fail and try different things in order to get to that core, just make sure you give each thing a real and sincere effort once you start it. Even when you do find that thing that you love and want, thats just the beginning of the journey and not the end. The work never ends on the journey of self growth, the good thing is it all does get easier. Meaning that with each passing moment you are getting stronger, wiser and more in balance.

Be Free Enough to Dance Dance Dance!

I LOVE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT!

I have recently had a huge ah ha moment and realised that my body loves to dance! I need to dance almost as much as I need to breathe ;-)! I have been demanding yoga, jogging and other stuff from my body, when really all I needed to do was dance!

I will of course continue with yoga too as I think its unbeatable in keeping you flexible and strong. But the jogging will now be dance. I still love to be outside in nature, sucking in fresh air and beautiful sights, so look out for me dancing in the street.

Where I live, here is Switzerland, randomly dancing in the street is not an easy thing to do. You need to be courageous to just dance in broad day light! Why is this? Well the only people not following the rules of behaviour expected from them are either mad or about to go mad ;-))) Come to think of it, following the rules is a strong pull in most cultures. Some rules really need to be broken, and street dancing on your own is one of those rules! Don't you think?

Dancing like singing or painting is a powerful art form. Art allows us to be creative and go beyond the limits of the mind. beyond thinking you tap into a part of you that is pure playfulness and power. The way most people "think" leads them to feelings of limitation or shyness that is crippling and often debilitating.

BREAK THE RULES!

Its important to never stop playing, thinking out of the box and expanding yourself beyond your comfort zone. The result is that you give other people permission to shine when you allow yourself to shine.

Some people think they can't dance, but for me dancing belongs to us all, it is a natural drug that lifts the spirit. Music brings dance into the body, and even if you are not going to be the next Michael Jackson music speaks to your body. And if you listen to your body you will feel the music in it. Let that music in your body be expressed as movement and you become living art.

The next time I think oh I should not dance here, its not appropriate! I am going to crank up the volume on my headset, close my eyes, and let my body start a conversation with the music. A conversation that is electric, sensual, light, therapeutic and frankly liberating on every single level of ones being and beyond! Because seriously when was the last time a happy dancer pissed you off? And if that has happened to you recently you might surely need to stop, breathe, smile for no reason and chillax BIG time ;-))))

Oh, what a day – oh, what a Detox Day

Last weekend we had the ultimate Kick-Start into Spring: our Body and Mind Detox Day 2015!

Together with my lovely Workshop Partner, Geneviève Singh, a Dipl. Craniosacral Therapist and Pilates Instructor, we lifted everybody's vibe and energy and kicked out the Detox. Sadly, you were not there. But to show you, what you’ve missed, here are some pictures for you. So see you on our next workshop, May 10th when it’s all about joy and dance with the Brasilian Dance Master Gisela and your favourite Meditation Master Mahima: http://www.lovesilence.com/event/dance-now-joy-workshop-perfect-mothers-day-gift/

Do you have relationship blues?

Happy Relationships Require Your Attention The number 8 represents infinity. Here are eight powerful tools to work with, when looking to bond deeper and form infinity friendships and heart connections that will survive the test of time and most importantly remain vibrant in the now. Remember that it takes two to tango so make sure to follow your intuition and select great people who are open minded and ready to explore personal development. 1. OPEN HEART Only through an open heart can love flow into you, through you and out of you. Love, it self never hurts, it is a positive force for good, only the egos pride can be bruised. Never close your heart, especially when you feel hurt. An open heart is invincible and bullet proof, because It holds on to nothing and leads the owner of that open heart into a love that has no limit and can never be given and taken away because its who you are in the core. 2. LOVE YOURSELF The world will only love you as much as you love yourself. Self-appreciation and respect is an essential ingredient in the pursuit of powerful and good relationships. Make peace with who you are right now, this gives you the power to accept others and deal better with their imperfections. Self loathing is not an attractive quality. When you have confidence in yourself you give other people permission to have confidence in you. 3. PURE LOVE Pure love is not jealous or insecure, it sees the essence of the other person, the goodness and soul, beyond the imperfections When love hurts it is because somewhere the ego go involved. Pure love never hurts. It is healing, soothing, uplifting inspiring and empowering. So whenever you are in pain in a relationship, it's because you stepped away from pure love and stepped into the limitation of ego love. Ego love is never happy; it feels empty, frustrated, uninspiring and exhausting.   4. BE PRESENT Maintain deep eye contact, stop whatever you are doing and really listen and feel your partner. If you really want to resolve conflicts with anyone, that’s what you will have to do. Most of us can’t hear or connect, because we are in the past or the future. Defending our actions and ourselves! Practice being fully present and available to people, be in the now. Its feels like a love shower when someone is fully present with you.   5. SELF- AWARENESS Know your strengths, know your weaknesses. Own your part in any conflict. Own your happiness, sadness, anger and how you feel. See how what you feel, think and do has a powerful effect  and influence on the world around you. Nothing will fuel an argument more than being defensive instead of considering apologizing and being brave enough to admit your mistakes and limitations.   6. VULNERABILITY Complimenting your people on a daily basis will do wonders for a happy bond. People like to feel seen and appreciated. People respond well to vulnerability, so please don’t be afraid to show vulnerability, express your truth, be authentic, take risks and be honest. Your mask is only skin deep, people can feel authenticity and integrity. These two things can only be accessed through real vulnerability. You are more powerful in your vulnerability, than when you are out of it! Try it and prepare to be amazed…   7. FORGIVENESS Real forgiveness is not selective. I will forgive this but not that, ultimately if you are to survive and blossom in relationships, you will have to become a master at forgiving. Forgiving yourself for not reacting, as you would have liked to, forgiving people for hurting you, forgiving yourself for getting hurt and so on and on and on, its never ending! It’s the ultimate art of letting go of everything and the key to real freedom and peace of mind.   8. HUMOUR We often forget to be playful and lighthearted with each other. Growing up does not have to mean growing stern and serious. We can’t laugh at ourselves and god forbid if anyone else is laughing at us! If you are not laughing everyday with your partner/ colleagues and friends you need to seriously consider how you can start doing that. Real deep belly laughter with each other is the best icebreaker and connects you to your enjoyment of each other. Its one of the most powerful tools in this lineup and needs to be taken seriously!! ;-)))

Mastering the basics for a happy life

The days of sitting cross legged in a lotus posture for hours on end, going on long travels to and India ashram, changing your name or shaving your head and wearing long robes, are no longer a prerequisite for deep spiritual transformation and growth. Having done all that, and loved every minute of it, I can tell you from first hand experience. Times are a changing!

Freedom can be found in every corner of this globe, because it really is an inner experience, that is not limited by space and time. Also the world is  changing and how we learn today is not the same as how we learned 20, 30 and forty years ago. Our spiritual development is happening at a much faster rate too, with people able to get out of 15 mins mins of meditation what used to take an hour! We are bombard even in the media, with calls to be more conscious, compassionate, kinder and  even happier in our daily lives. Having a negative attitude is no longer as cool and as "normal" as it used to be.

How to Accelerate Progress in These Times

Having said that there are some things to bear in mind, as a modern day seeker of inner peace, if you are looking to accelerate your ability to enjoy the now.

1. Surround yourself with spiritually aware people

Nothing can derail your efforts more than spending too much of your time with people who are on a totally different wave length than you.  In fact find people that will inspire, motivate and even push you to go deeper. The funny thing is, if you have the courage to stay true to your desire to meet and be surrounded with amazing people, you will manifest this, for sure! Just don't give up and keep removing yourself from situations that drain rather than energise, that limit rather than, give you wings to soar. 

2. Start Your Day With a Spiritual Boost

Instead of just jumping out of bed and hoping for the best, do something in the morning that puts you in the right frame of mind. Do a gratitude list in your head before your feet even touch the ground. Meditate, dance, do yoga, sing or say out loud to your reflection in the mirror what you want to get out of that day. Keep a diary and write a few words down that remind you of who you are and what your purpose is. Read a passage out of a book that inspires you. Eat a healthy and energising breakfast.Too often I see people underestimate the power contained in these small daily rituals.

3. Fall In Love With Mastering The Basics

The basic should never be over looked in our quest for knowledge. This society of modern times is becoming a more, more, more type of society. We want more and in our hunger to fulfil this desire, we can loose the simplicity in things. We can over reach, destroy and complicate things. The basics in spiritual development are these....

Love yourself, love life and love the world, as it is right now. Let go of fear and embrace trust. Forgive continuously  and express gratitude with each breath. That is really all you need to master to become the master of your own destiny, heart and mind.

It is okay to ask for support.

Gandhi puts it Beautifully 

"If you change yourself you will change your world. If you change how you think then you will change how you feel and what actions you take. And so the world around you will change. Not only because you are now viewing your environment through new lenses of thoughts and emotions but also because the change within can allow you to take action in ways you wouldn’t have – or maybe even have thought about – while stuck in your old thought patterns."

So even though we have all these new opportunities and we are grabbing them with both hands, woman, we still need to seriously examine how old thought patterns are affecting us negatively as we try to move forward and upwards. It is easy to keep blaming others, especially men for what we are still creating through our action, words and thoughts.

Change is Easier Than Most People Will Have You Believing

Its all about surrounding yourself with real people that inspire and motivate you. People who themselves are working tirelessly on their own spiritual growth. People who help you to take quantum leaps out of limiting states of heart and mind. So often I see people trying to wade through personal empowerment on their own...not taking almost as much advantage to having a live, living breathing mentor, spiritual teacher,coach, personal development advisor.

Now it may look like I am trying to toot my own horn here or blow my own trumpet, and yes there might be a touch of that going on ;-) lol! But seriously, I am super passionate about turning people on to fully experiencing and recognising the benefits of having effective mentoring and personal advisors that have worked on themselves enough to be looking at the world through a different pair of glasses, giving a perspective that will empower and enhance ones ability to bring ones amazing gifts into the world.

Do you believe in God?

I was reading through some wonderful wise words of my First teacher and found this lovely story, that speaks directly to the heart of understanding the nature of our beliefs and our belief in God.

   Once Sri Raman, one of the great seers of this age, was asked by a journalist coming from the West,     "Do you believe in God?"

   Sri Raman said, "No."

   The man was shocked. He had heard that this man has realized God, and now

   he says he does not believe in God! He repeated the question. He said,

   "Have you heard me rightly? I am asking, "Do you believe in God?"

   Raman said, "I have heard it. Do you understand what I have said? I don't believe in God, because I know. There is no need of belief. I know the whole existence is divine. There is no personal God anywhere. Every part of this universe is divine. I know it, there is no question of believing." Beliefs are to distract people from discovering the beauty, the grandeur, the splendor, the divinity of existence.
