A lovely walk early in the morning in the woods close by where I live, in walking distance, being in silence in nature, that is my nourishment at the moment which inspires me and regenerates me, especially in the more difficult moments, like the one I had to go through recently with my car accident. I have been shaken physically and transcendentally and have been led to put myself into question again. I have always said that I was living in paradise on earth, and that has not changed.
And at the same time I had to accept that sometimes there are challenges in our lives that make us grow and show us that there are still things to improve, to go beyond. Living in consciousness also means that I could have chosen not to take my car to Liège on the day after my return from a long journey from the North of California to Brussels with a time difference of 10 hours. Perhaps I am not the "superwoman" that I sometimes wanted to show off and have to accept that I need to respect my limits. To understand that sometimes reason has its place, too, and that both, reason and heart, work together. A bit more humility ...

Perhaps I am not the "superwoman" that I sometimes wanted to show off and have to accept that I need to respect my limits. To understand that sometimes reason has its place, too, and that both, reason and heart, work together. A bit more humility ...
And on the other hand I have received so much grace, in the way things happened. When I realized what was happening to me I immediately asked my angels and guides and invisible helpers to be there with me and to get me out of it in the best possible way. I was not afraid at all, I was completely in the present moment, as an observer. I could see that all the cars on the motorway had stopped with blinking lights, and I said to myself, that they were stopping others from passing bye ... Someone helped me out of my car and led me to theirs to wait for the ambulance. I spoke to the police who wanted to make me blow into that little tube for the alcohol. I was present and at the same time in another state, like profoundly in myself, in contact with my soul, calm. And I stayed in the same state during my time at the hospital. I did not want to talk much, I just rang up a few close friends and my family with my own phone. The verdict was a broken left clavicule, a few broken ribs, bruises all over my body, my lung slightly perforated. The staff at the hospital was very respectful, my request not to eat and take any medecine was accepted without questioning. My values in the medical tests were excellent right from the beginning, and the doctors were visibly amazed, but did not ask any questions. Also whereas my car was ready to be demolished the other car was not much damaged, and the driver only had a bleeding nose. So I did not need to feel guilty. My health improved so fast that they sent me home after three days. And since I needed help with getting dressed and washed there were friends and family who moved in until I was independent again. I am so filled with gratitude to have received so much help from the invisible realms and physical persons, from those who came to see me, those who called or sent love and healing and blessings. It was like balm for my soul.
And what is my learning from all this? To live still more in the present moment, in consciousness and alignment to the Divine One Within. To see that every moment, every place, every person is sacred, that we are all one family in unity with all of life, there is no separation. We are here to live together in peace and love, respecting each other, without judgment, seeing the God in everyone. Accept also that every individual lives in their own kingdom, and we can only access that through honest communication. We cannot know what is good for the other one unless we ask. What seemed to come up, too, was letting go of the past, of all the old paradigms that are not valid any more. Everything is changing for the better and we cannot know in which way, because this has never happened before. We just need to open up and welcome whatever comes. And even if there is still a lot of violence going on in certain parts of the world, let us not overreact or condemn, just send a lot of love, for it is also part of the changes, and there is still so much fear and victim consciousness, wanting to dominate. We know that love is the answer and the greatest power on earth. And each time we are in doubt, let us ask "what would love do?" For what we resist persists. Let us go more inside, be authentic and live our truth, let us be a living example of the world that we want to create and celebrate life.
Another message for me was to really let go, first of my car (which some people say is like our skin), then I changed my internet provider which meant I had to change my e-mail address and my telephone land line, my Belgian identity card had run out ... looks like there is some new stuff in the air. And that was also the message we had worked with during our reunion with the Lemurian choir at Mount Shasta. Let go and let God ...
I am afraid this info letter has become quite a personal message, and I hope you do not mind. I really felt I needed to share my feelings with you. And I am happy to say that I have recovered well, and when I went to the hospital last Monday for a check-up the doctor was so impressed with my progress and said he had rarely seen anything like it, that I did not have to come back, could start to exercise again. So I went to aquagym today, and it was such a good feeling to be able to do it all. My body felt so happy. I shall wait a little longer for tennis, though, but have started on fitness, too. And walking was possible anyway since I left the hospital. And I shall buy a new car in September when the new Twingo comes out !!
I hope you have had or are still having happy holidays and enjoying free time to regenerate and recover from stress. Enjoy the rest of it, sing, dance, be creative. And now get your agenda out for writing down the dates for the activites from September onwards until the end of the year.
Starting with a weekend "At the Heart of the Presence" with Oberom C. Silva, Erika Witthuhn and Candice Albertini from 5 to 7 September at Liège, organized by Florine Thomas.
Oberom and Erika are both living on prana. That means that they are nourished mainly by Prana, chi, the Divine Breath, the energy of life and not physical food any more. During the weekend they will share their experience, their path and their inspiration through different activities, e.g. guided meditations, dance of emotions, games etc. We shall also have the young and explosive Candice Albertini who has learned to find the life in physical nourishment. She will propose to discover the basics of living nourishment through a simple and colourfull culinary workshop to help you adopt at your rhythm a food rich in living products of quality. There will also be yoga sessions with Oberom, Satsang (with Oberom and Erika), groups of sharing with questions and answers and practical exercises.
