Being in relationship with yourself and others
I embrace you.
Live your life and live it anew. Every day is a new sunrise, a new opportunity to change, to do life differently, to embrace yourself and march on with the knowing that God is present, inside of you, at all times, and will support you unconditionally. I too need to remind myself of this treasure, the treasure that we always get another chance. Are we willing to pick ourselves up and walk again, hand in hand, but without attachments? Do not trouble your mind about ‘getting together, or not getting together’ but just be today in your heart, choose that for yourself. Let go of your mind of how the relationship ought to be but stay in your heart and allow it to be open to all unfoldments. Go inward every day and send love to yourself and to the ones you love and those who carry meaning for you, and then embrace the ones you may hold separate or have a concern over. And return back to yourself and give yourself a hug and know that you are special.
Life comes with tribulations, it’s the path, but those are the teachings for us to arrive at a bigger goal which is to love one another. And sometimes we need to let go and need to understand that what shows up in our life are teachings, messages, insights for us to expand our heart. Yes we fall down but the more we can return to our inner love, the more we find the truth of life, the value of love, the moment of seeing that all is the same, each action radiates love because it stems from love. It’s our mind that wants to grab otherwise, wants to hold separate and wants to tell us that we are not enough and judge others because we are not able to see the highest good. We stand in a fog, struggling, fighting within our mind rather than allowing the heart to expand and enter our well-being.
Let us love because life is too short not to. Let us embrace each other because we deserve it. Let us hold hands if we feel like it. Allow us to be guided by God. Let us work on mindfulness and allow God to show us the way to love for ourselves and for each other. Let us know at each encounter that we stem from the same seed. Let us honor each other and be mindful not to harm. Let us know that the other person has only best intentions and know that we are there for each other to teach and to love, to give and provide friendship and care. Let us know that words harm, that the mind creates, and that love can shift a mountain. Let us hold hands in our mind and understand to walk this path together in this life as friends, with the commitment to honor the other person at all times. Let us go inward and unite in our hearts when our minds take over, and allow to rest the mind and let the thoughts flow into our own heart, and let it be, and embrace ourselves and send love to the other person, your friend.
See me as your friend and I shall see you as my friend.
Commit to love and respect for each other at all times.
Let God show us the path of love and respect.
Know that I have entered your life to teach you lessons and you have entered mine for the same purpose which is to expand our consciousness to grow within and hold the other never separate but to understand that all that takes place is a creation of the minds. Let us choose love at all times and remind ourselves that no one wants to harm the other.

Cherish yourself
When we can cherish ourselves, we are able to cherish others and greet them from the heart outward. Only a deep understanding of ourselves gives us the courage and blessing that we so desire. We may dwell in pain and suffering but it will release once we allow ourselves to see deep within and embrace our Self with love and compassion.
Salutations to you, who have surrendered their minds into stillness, salutations to you, who have embraced love as the calling of the heart, and salutations to you, who have come forth to ask for guidance and a blessing. You may seek the truth and find wholeness.
Namaste
Friendship
Friends are quiet angels who lift us off our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Nature and Life
Auch in der Dunkelheit bleibt die Schoenheit der Natur bestehen.
Also in darkness, the beauty of nature resides.
Namaste
Confidence towards others
Step into who you truly are and allow the one that stands separate to see you.
Step beyond your doubts and fears, and allow yourself to melt into compassion and understanding.
Namaste
Mistakes
If we could only replace the negative ideas we carry about mistakes with words of love and encouragement, we would all live in a better world.
Allow yourself to be at peace. Resonate trust and faith in yourself. Know that you are unique and special. Life is a journey and in it we all make choices that have not fostered our well-being. So move on. Make a different choice, choose a different path. Bring forth in your mind this little child that learned how to walk and talk and realize how often this child needed to start over again and with each choice arrived growth and progress.
Believe in yourself and listen to your inner voice that tells you what action to take. Don’t listen to the destructive mind that puts you down, don’t walk that path but focus on the supportive voice that tells you, that you can do it and that you are lovable. That voice is inside of you and if you don’t hear it, look in the mirror , face yourself and say it loud, “I am lovable.”
I know deep in my heart dwells Love and it supports me all the way. I trust in it and allow it to grow within myself. I recognize its voice and find comfort in it. I trust its guidance and allow myself to be nurtured by it.

a prayer of someone passing
Wir wahren in der Stille, Gedanken fliessen frei, Ruhe gebart das innere Wissen, nun bist Du friedlich frei.
Namaste
We reside in peace, thought flow freely, stillness contains the inner wisdom, now you are peacefully free.
‘Love is your servant, not your master’
I’ve come across a book called, ‘Too good to leave, too bad to stay’, by author Mira Kirschenbaum . There has been a quote in it which struck me , “love is your servant, not your master.” What do you think this means? Take a moment and contemplate.
When I find myself standing separate and carry a dispute with someone, my goal is to find peace and return to unconditional love and releasing the situation with my heart. Not an easy task at times. But when I succeed in going inward and allow my pain to emerge and then let it take its course, a process takes place within myself, and at the end, I regain love for myself and for that person. To me in this moment I used love as my servant, not as my master. Love does not necessarily run me because I have a choice and could choose hatred instead. If love would be my master, I would dwell constantly in its energy and be a representative of it at all times. But that is not how I show up all the time, although it is my goal. To choose love is a tool to expand my inner heart, the unconditional love which resides within me at all times, so that I can become more loving and empathetic towards others.
How often do you receive the opportunity to use love as your servant in daily life?
Know with me that there is one source which is unconditional love and it resides within myself and others. I choose today to use this source as my servant and step into today’s world as such, knowing that all that comes my way today is a practice ground to learn about love. I am appreciative of this and give thanks.
Practice ‘Wait and See’Attitude
I’ve recently come across this brilliant piece of text written by Carol Carnes, I like to share with you (I received written permission from her to post this here). I encourage you to check her website out at www.positiveliving.org and sign up for her daily ‘Living Consciously’ messages.
“Before we jump to conclusions, rush to judgment, or make assumptions, it is good to adopt a “wait and see” attitude. Wait and see what wants to happen, what is trying to be said, what gift is hidden in the moment, what that person is wanting us to see or hear or know. It is very easy to assume meaning and we are usually wrong. The problem is that our own feelings of inadequacy can lead us to incorrectly assume that we are being attacked or diminished or discounted. But the only thing we are ever dealing with is our own self image.
It really doesn’t matter how loving, how understanding, how conciliatory someone may be toward us, if we deeply feel unworthy, we will think they are not genuine. It is a real trap and is the reason so many relationships end in anger and terrible confusion. We are responsible for our inner life. We are the ones who fashion our sense of self value. If we had a difficult childhood, we have work to do to make sure we understand that who we are is not created by how others treated us…. Whatever we are doing that results in a pattern of alienation from love, lasting friendship or respect from others, is a clue to how we view ourselves. We were not born to suffer loneliness and rejection. We are meant to live as bright lights of high self awareness who attract and retain mirror images of that consciousness.”
