Some people spend all their life hypnotized by their ego, feeling victim, being angry, being afraid, wanting to have a safe job and to keep safe.
The questions are:
- will you let your life pass by and wake up 30 years later full of regret and emptiness?
- or will you dare be yourself? will you dare do what you know deep down you are here to do? will you dare be a co-creator of your life and our world?
The price for not playing full out is living an asleep life, is being a sheep, is feeling tired, stressed, frustrated, disconnected.
The reward is living a full, meaningful, joyous life full of love. Yes, there is a lot of work to achieve this, work which implies letting go of the negativity and dropping the ego, coming out and begin doing and it all begins with a decision.
What are you going to decide, can you afford to wait another breath from being who you truly are, living your calling, becoming what you already are?

A child does not have defences around, a child trusts what we say is true and when we laugh at her (or him), she (he) will feel bad about herself (himself). This will cause them to feel ashamed and hide that part of them. Shame and guilt are the causes of many problems.
When they grow up, they will tend to feel ashamed of more things and hide feelings and behaviours causing just shadow. As they grow up in teenage years, they might behave in ways that are not aligned with who they are, but they are unconsciously too afraid to be ‘found out’ for who they truly are. And they might arrive at a point in life in which, if they do not deal with all of that, they will drop into a crisis.
Shadow is what we see in the world, it is the negativity still suppressed. When we suppress our feelings, when we suppress negativity, we cause negativity not only in our lives - as there is a spiritual law which says ‘positive attracts positive’ - but we also cause negativity in the world. If we are to bring about the world we would like to live in, we need to bring about positivity, first healing ourselves.
We need to be very mindful of the way we relate to children, as also when we laugh at them, when we criticize them, it simply means that there is a part in us that we have not accepted fully. It happened to me recently to talk with a person who said she didn’t need any help to grow as she was an adult; but spiritual growth is not linked with age. Spiritual growth begins with honesty and responsibility of where we are and what we have created in our lives and the committment to reconnect with our wholeness, to heal ourselves and find our common divinity.
We can prevent pain, we need to help children feel good about who they are, because they are magnificent as we all are.

It is with ourselves.
Most of us are at war with ourselves. There are parts of us we do not accept - maybe because we are afraid of others’ judgments -, there are things we have done or not done we cannot forgive ourselves for, there are feelings, thoughts or behaviors we fight and feel ashamed of, there are pains and scars we have that we reject and try to hide. We feel inadequate and we push ourselves to the limit, maybe we spend our life giving to others because we feel we are not enough or we need to punish ourselves for something we have not even done.
The day we will decide to sign the peace treaty with ourselves, our whole life - and world - will change irrevocably for the better. We will give ourselves permission to be who we truly are, we will heal and allow ourselves to feel our real home.
It is about welcoming - welcoming everything we are, everything we experience, everything we feel, everything, even the unspeakable. When we welcome, we allow it to be transfigured in the Light. It is not a one off job, it is a 24/7 job, and it begins with a decision, a decision that we might need to reiterate every day, even more times a day, as the ego can be very strong and tricky, but a decision that will bring us towards real freedom, power and wholeness. There are many psychological techniques which can help you on the path, just choose one that feels right for you, and be aware it might change over time as you progress on your journey ‘home’.
When will you welcome yourself home?

Whatever we experience in life, even abuse, we have created it - it is our soul creating it and in creating it, it is trying to reconnect us with what we truly are, it is trying to show us we have some pain to heal, we have negative beliefs about ourselves that we have created that reality.
What we need to do is heal that pain, let go of that belief, love ourselves and reconnect with our wholeness.
Now, what do we need to do with the people who ’caused’ us pain? Here is what loving unconditionally comes in. Because we have created it, they are actually giving us a gift in that they show us what we still have not-healed within ourselves. We need to let go of the negative emotions we feel towards them and the issue and let go of resisting everything. And also send them some love and approval.
But loving unconditionally does not mean being stupid, it means recognizing that no wrong was done unto us and send them approval, but it does not mean we need to keep us in situations that are harmful or negative to ourselves. We can love the people, heal ourselves and put ourselves in places/situations that are good for us.
Love yourself!

Emotions are toxic energy which can cause problems to our bodies, to our lives and the lives of others. We normally think we are our bodies or our minds, and this is reinforced by our education, but it isn’t so. We have an energy system and when it is aligned with the spiritual laws, our lives work perfectly; when our energy system is out of balance, we experience problems. Problems are simply the door bell that we need to heal, to go back to wholeness, it is our soul purpose to bring us back to what we truly are. And the more we release our emotions and the subconscious beliefs, the more we go back into balance.
What we normally do with emotions:
- we try to suppress them - maybe because we have the belief that it is not good to show emotions, maybe because we think we have to be the ‘good girl/boy’ and ‘be nice’ or ‘be spiritual’, or any other reasons we may have to suppress them - suppressing emotions does not work and it is dangerous; it is the same as having a bottle of sparkling water in which we push down the bubbles, we push down the energy until it bursts
- we express them - in some countries people express their emotions, they get angry, they shout, they scream, etc. - does it work? No, because the toxic energy is not released, it is still inside and it causes also many problems to interpersonal relations
- we escape them - we go jogging or to the gym to release the anger, we get a drink, we watch a movie, we listen to the radio, we go shopping, etc.; or we do exterior things in order to bring about a healing to our feeling stressed ot a feeling of wellness - for example we get a massage, we use aromatherapy, etc. does it work? no, because the toxic energy is still inside
What we need to do is release the emotions. Here are below a few ideas of methods which can be very helpful to rebalance our energy system, but there may be many more. Just choose one that resonates with you and follow it. We owe it to our planet, we owe it to humanity. Humanity will heal only when we each individually take the responsibility to heal ourselves.
Here are the links ideas:

What we experience in life is part of a divine purpose - what seems at first difficult or a drama, even abuse, needs to be embraced with a deeper spiritual purpose.
Our mind is only creative and what we think about is what we get. When we have a negative belief about ourselves, we will create in our life negative events and circumstances. The underlining divine purpose of the negativity we have created is to heal ourselves, to go back to wholeness - it is our soul trying to connect us back with our wholeness, it is our soul trying to teach us to Love ourselves.
When we take responsibility for it and let go of blame, anger and resentment and even manage to thank whatever happened as a gift on our journey of spiritual growth and healing, we can heal.
Our main purpose in life is become what we already are, and in order to do that we just need to release, turn it over to God and allow.
We are whole and all is well.

There is a quote from Albert Einstein which says: “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it” and it is exactly the explanation.
Let’s take an example, but it can be applied to business and all areas of life. As an example let us consider a person who suffers from depression.
Let’s say the person has experienced a trauma in her life and as a consequence of that, she is experiencing depression. Now, the common approach would be to try to analize the problem in order to find the solution, to understand it in order to solve it.
The person could never heal in this way, because the more she will focus on the problem, the more she would feel it in her neurology and the more she would experience it in her life.
This misunderstanding on how to find solutions to problems come from the misunderstandings on what we think we are.
The solution to the problem, the healing will not come from us, from our ego, but from a Higher Place. When we let go of wanting to find solutions, when we welcome the problem, we would connect with the ever present All Knowingness and we would allow healing to take place. It is always very important to remember we are not our problems.

I believe there are a few steps to take in order to avoid a ‘middle life crisis’.
It all comes down to meaning, it comes down to creating a life that is meaningful - it is about living deeply.
Meaning which comes from feeling real connected to ourselves -it is about being authentic and true to ourselves and welcome all of us.
Meaning that comes from feeling real connected with people -it implies being authentic and honest.
Meaning that comes from doing a job that is meaningful to us, from doing what we love, from doing what brings us joy, from doing a job for other people, from living our calling.
Meaning that comes from connecting with what we truly are, Beingness -it implies letting go of the ego, of what we are not.
This would cause us to find profound peace and connection with All That Is.

Most people like to have a good job, a good life; and some people feel powerless asking: what could I do to contribute to the evolution of the human race? me?
Yes, each one of us is essential for the evolution of the human race.
First we need to evolve ourselves, which means we need to align with who we are and our values and with what we are. This involves being authentic, letting go of who and what we are not - letting go of all beliefs, behaviors, values that are not ‘us’; letting go of all emotions, of the ego and so reconnect with pure awareness that is what we all are.
As we let go of our negativities, we contribute immensely to the development of humanity to the next level.
And as we do so, we re-remember how to Love - ourselves, others, the planet.
Secondly we may have a calling for what we are here to do on this planet. We need to learn to listen inside and trust ourselves and surrender to Consciousness/God/Awareness and do whatever we feel right to do. If we do not feel we have a calling, we need to connect with what brings us joy, with what we love doing, with what has meaning to us and we will discover that it will always involve doing something for other people in one way or another.

The effects of criticism can be devastating.
I was talking today with somebody who had been bullied years ago and still today is suffering from very low self-esteem, depression and his life is very limited. He is experiencing panic attacks and can’t go out.
Continuous criticism is very damaging and corrodes self-esteem, it is abusive.
If you are in any relationship where you are criticized, think about whether it is actually good for you to remain in that relationship.
The questions are: will criticism ever stop? and why do we criticize?
The reason why we criticize another person is because we have not yet welcome our shadow, we have not yet welcome all parts of ourselves, we project and also because of negative beliefs and conditioning.
There might be something in another person, in their behavior, in their beliefs that we do not like, that we do not agree with, that bothers us and we criticize.
Maybe we feel threatened by that, maybe there is a belief we hold that causes us to feel not free to be ourselves, to hold the beliefs we choose, to behave as we choose.
Also, what we do not like in another, what bothers us in another, it is in us. We need to remember or re-remember how to love ourselves, how to love all of ourselves, what we like and what we resist. And when we do so, we will find peace and we will allow what is to be.
Love yourself because you are the way you are
