Dear ,
At the beginning of this new year, 2024, first of all I want to thank you for your trust in me, for allowing me to be part of your life journey and for being part of mine throughout the past year.
A couple of days ago my dear husband sent me this timelapse video of the growth of a red bell pepper plant. And while I was watching it, it came to my mind how much we humans are just like this little seed (or any other seed). Alike and yet there is a difference.
This seed already contains the entire plant, all it’s potential. It cannot become something else. It cannot become a banana, or a birch tree, or a salad. And it will grow depending on the circumstances, the soil, the weather, the care of humans.
Just like this seed, every human being – from the moment of conception – exists with all its potential, with everything that can ever be. And this results in the fact that we cannot be different from the being we came into this world.
Like the seed’s growth depends on the outer circumstances, our growth depends on the family we are born into, the environment we live in, the experiences we make, etc.
The plant knows that it cannot be something else. It does not think about being good enough or not, about growing higher, producing more fruit. It just is.
This is different for us humans. Most of us have moved away from their innate being, through the experiences we went through from our time in the womb to where we are in this stage of our life. It starts with our need of existence, survival and belonging and it ends up in developing patterns of self-rejection and self-estrangement.
We forget who we are, we keep stuck in the past, in our various painful experiences. We try to be different, to improve, to change ourselves and we start “working hard” to become a “better version” of ourselves. And yet it does not work. Of course, it doesn’t – it’s an illusion.
So what can we do? We can look back, at ourselves, at the various stages of our life. We can open our hearts to ourselves and really see. We can embrace, reconnect, reconcile, and finally fall in love with ourselves, with the light that came into this world through us.
The whole program I will be offering in 2024 will be around this special reconnection and reconciliation.
Do you want to join me?
In the spirit of love and reconciliation
