Welcome at Flow of Miracles

Dear people,

I've spoken about co-creation in my Dutch Column and on a Creating Joy video. I love manifesting, achieving my goals and walking my path using this spiritual technique. It's wonderful not having to do things all on your own and always having support from Higher Power. Want to know how to work with co-creation? Read on and try the exercise in this blog post!

What is Co-creation?

The idea of co-creation is in the name: co, from cooperation, or doing thing together and creation for creation, creating things. So basically it means creating in cooperation. As a spiritual technique that means it's not only creating with others, but specially, creating with Higher Power. It doesn't matter if that's God, the Universe, Higher Power, Heaven or whatever you are comfortable with.

You can of course also co-create with other people, which is also lovely, but not what this blog post is about, unless you choose as a group to co-create with higher power.   

Drawbacks/Benefits of Co-creation

One of the big drawbacks of using co-creation is that you need to relinquish control. When we work with higher power, it's not us behind the steering wheel of the car. We need to accept that Higher Power has a better plan then we do. Sometimes that type of surrender is hard for people and they come and complain to me that they are trying to co-create goals for their business or private life, but it doesn't seem to work at all. 

They are right that it won't work, because if you are trying to force a relationship that isn't right for you - you can't do that with co-creation. Same goes for business goals that are not in line with your soul path or purpose. You simple won't get clients for services or find that storefront if it's in the wrong city for you. 

That's why if you are a micromanager or control freak, co-creation is going to be hard for you. You need to accept that you are asking for the other more knowledge, wiser and more loving partner to take charge. 

Even when the co-creation is going well, you will have to release your timeline, because that's also out of your hands. I remember really setting a deadline for myself to start the new year with a new business name a few years back. But I just couldn't find or connect with anything. In the end, I decided to use co-creation, knowing it might mean not registering domain names or even getting my business cards ready in time. Once I accepted that and listened however, I did receive the name, and everything fell into place on time. Yet - my time isn't always Higher Powers time, so it could have meant I would have needed placeholders.

Benefits of Co-creation

So what are the benefits of co-creation? First of all: it's lovely not to have to do it on your own. Having support is wonderful. Just knowing support is available greatly reduces stress levels! It might feel strange to leave big decisions up to Higher Power, but once you learn to surrender your life becomes a lot less stressful.

Secondly, you only have to do half the work, and sometimes even less! Imagine being able to ask for help in finding a place for your business. Doing it on your own would mean checking out many different places, hoping you'd pick the right one and signing a contract. Doing it with co-creation would be asking what is the right place for you. You'd listen to guidance, you might be guided to somebody, somebody might be guided to you or you'd just stumble upon the right place. Instead of having endless lists to compare places and getting statistics, you'd just open yourself up and listen. 

Thirdly, better results. While co-creation with Higher Power takes some getting used too, once you start seeing results, you'll know immediately that it's worth it. You pick the right people, the right places, the right work, the right everything. Even if things don't go 100% your way, they often either go better then you ever dreamed of or you'll learn something very important that is worth the aggravation!    

I'd like to say: "Always", but that's not completely true. There are times when you need to take quick decisions and won't be able to get into the head and heart space for co-creation. There are times where it's hard to let go of the outcome and you notice you can't co-create. There are times where the decision to do co-creation can feel like overkill - like what you'd make for dinner.  

Co-creation is the easiest to do for big projects, blockages/obstacles that you are unsure how to overcome or anything that is so important to you that you just want the highest level of success. 

Co creation exercise

• Take around 10-20 minutes for this exercise
• Make sure you are comfortable and can't be disturbed by your phone etc.
• Close your eyes
  
• Imagine a symbol for the project/goal/situation you'd like to co-creation on. For example: an imagine of a house for your housing search etc.
  
• Gently place that symbol upon the ground and release the need to control 
• Ask for help by stating: "I ask God/The Universe/Higher Power to help me co-create this for me
• Imagine the symbol shimmering in gold energy and then rising up until you can't see it anymore
• Ask for guidance: "I open myself up to any guidance/inspiration needed for my side of the work"
  
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding
• Write down any impressions that you had during this exercise
• Repeat this exercise whenever you feel the need to have more guidance on what you should be doing. You can change the symbol based on changes in your journey. For example: paper symbolizing a bid for a house.

If you want to share your experience with co-creation or get some advice on this technique, you can email me, post a comment here on the blog or send me a message on the Facebook Fan Page or on Instagram.  Or post a comment below the YouTube video's: Dutch Column or Creating Joy video and I will respond as soon as possible.

Dear People,

I recently spoke about Remote Viewing in my column on the Radio, but thought I'd write a blog post about it as well. I did mention Remote Viewing in my blog post concerning if I use my gifts to find lost items but I didn't describe what I would actually do. I'm going to write a bit more about this technique today as well as give an exercise so you can try it for yourself.

What is Remote Viewing

Remote Viewing is a technique designed to seek information or impressions about something. Usually a distant or unseen subject, but it can be an object, event, person or location. Some people close their eyes, while others like to keep them open and draw their impressions.

It's been made famous a bit, due to to research by the US Military as well as the CIA. Some people think remote viewing is done by traveling out of body, while others believe it's using a psychic eye. In any case, it's definitely flexes your psychic muscles.

Why would you use Remote Viewing

I guess it's easy to see how you could use remote viewing as a type of spying, but most people use it for lost objects or to just train their psychic skills. For example if you lost your keys, trying to use remote viewing can give you a much better idea of where they might be.  

Using it to practice your psychic skills usually means you'd check basic things that you can easily check later or doing it with a group. I've worked with others in a remote viewing group - we'd check in on a certain member holding a photo - and discuss our impressions together later. It was interesting to see who tuned into what and how close or far we were from our test subject.

Remote Viewing Exercises

Curious how you'd do with remote viewing? Here are two remote viewing exercises so you can give it a try. 

Exercise 1: Remote viewing your Mail

• Take around 5-10 minutes for this exercise
• Make sure you are comfortable and can't be disturbed by your phone etc.
  
• Imagine your mailbox, your doormat or whatever you use to get your mail
• Imagine you opening your third eye (or if you want to try by psychic traveling - imagine floating above your object)
• What can you see? Do you see any mail? Colors of envelops? Notice or hear numbers? Have an idea who they are from? 
• Write down all your impressions, sounds, numbers, colors etc.
  
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding
• Check how you did by going to collect your mail
  

Exercise 2: Remote viewing a photo

• Take around 5-10 minutes for this exercise
• Make sure you are comfortable and can't be disturbed by your phone etc.
  
• Grab a book with photo's or a deck of cards
  
• Close your eyes and randomly open your book (travel books are best!) or draw card from your deck
• Place your hand on your object
  
• Recite your impressions: colors, sounds, numbers, energy, ideas
  
• Open your eyes and see how you did!
  
• Afterwards drink a bit of water and do some grounding

I truly believe we should have more fun in life. Often we get bogged down in worries or just stuck in the normal routines of life. We need to create opportunities for fun and remember that life is meant to be enjoyed. Do you feel stuck in meaninglessness or dreary moods? Take some time to affirm some fun affirmations today.

I write my affirmations in different levels so you can see what resonates with you and what you want to work on. You might start with a lower level that resonates and then move your way up.

Dear people,

A lot of times people only seem to appreciate fast. Fast results, fast healing, fast changes, fast transformation.. fast everything. Yet, there is so much power in slowing down, in taking your time, in allowing things to simmer before you make changes, take a decision or leap forward. You can see that quite clearly in nature and in cooking. So today I'm writing about the power of Slowing Down.

Why slowing down is no longer appreciated

For many people - slowing down automatically means losing time, getting less results or feeling old. Fast  has become something to strive for. Yet, we all know that fast isn't always better. Some things need time before they are ready, like a good stew. You simply can't make good stew in 5 minutes, no matter how high you put the fire. And a good cook will tell you that the stew is often even better the next day - as all the flavors have had time to mingle.

Yet if you look at your own life, are you taking the time you need? Or are you rushing into making decisions or getting things done fast for the sake of fast? Ever taken the time to slow down and let things simmer for betters results?

Appreciating the benefits of slowing down

So when we choose to no longer focus on fast, we can move from finishing our tasks, towards mindfully staying connected to the right rhythm. Fast tends to connect us only to our heads - were our thoughts and observations are racing around. Slowing down allows us to reconnect to our bodies - feeling what is going on there, what we need or want. We can flow towards our hearts and feel deeply what we've been carrying or what we desire for our future.  

Slowing down gives us time to look at the bigger picture, to allow our inner child to play, without pushing the envelope. Play is a wonderful way to get great results is a relaxed, slowed down way. It focuses on enjoyment, higher vibrations and wonder. That road leads to a lot more satisfaction then looming deadlines and stress. 

How to slow down

If you are used to minimizing time and feeling that less time is more efficient, it can really frustrate you to slow down. Yet if you understand that slowing down gives better results sometimes and might be more efficient in the long run, it might be much easier for you to give it a try. 

I don't recommend slowing down with everything or all the time, but just allowing yourself to feel what a different rhythm does to you. Small ways of slowing down can be something as simple as slowing down your walking speed, choosing to take the stairs slowly, going around the block an additional time or taking the long way around. Observe how you feel and what a small slower moment does to you, your feelings, your well being and your mind.  

If you are eager to slow down more, you can choose to do an activity slower like cooking, a creative hobby or even something as simple as taking a longer lunch. 

Slowing down exercise

• Take around 10-20 minutes for this exercise
• Make sure you are comfortable and can't be disturbed by your phone etc.
  
• Imagine your life moving like a stream of a river
• You gently float above it, seeing the stream move
• Now consciously try to reduce the speed  
• Feel your heart also slow down and take deep and slow breaths
• As you reduce the speed more and more, you are able to see more in the water
• You can check for bubbles, for foam, for fishes or anything else that interests you
• Take some time to check the water and gain insight
• Take deep and slow breaths
• Allow the river to move even slower and see if the water clears up more for you
• You can gentle dip your fingers in and ask for insights
• Whenever you feel ready, release your river
  
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding

I will be the first to admit that I am often in need of more patience. A lot of people feel I'm patient, because outwardly I am often very calm. Yet I am often plagued by inner frustration when people are late or when things take a longer time then I would want. I don't grit my teeth, but I do try to work on inner calm as well. Sound familiar? Try some affirmations today on creating more patience.

I write my affirmations in different levels so you can see what resonates with you and what you want to work on. You might start with a lower level that resonates and then move your way up.
