Welcome at Flow of Miracles

Dear people,

The spiral is a wonderful healing tool to work with, both in what we can accomplish for ourselves, but also in what happens when things go wrong. In English, spiraling can both mean: decrease or deteriorate continuously as well as showing a continuous and dramatic increase. I've written before on using the Spiral in walking meditation, but today I want to write some more about the spiral as a healing tool.

Why a healing spiral?

Most of the time, people like their growth to be a continuous line trending upward. While I can understand why that's ideal, that's hardly realistic. That would mean that we only take steps forward and our lives continuously improve at the same rate. 

After discussing this, people often talk about how life has it's ups and downs, and then draw a line which dips now and again, but in the end rises higher and higher. That's more realistic than the always upwards trending line. Sometimes we take a step back and then 2 forward, sometimes we are stuck in a dip for a long while, but in the end, we achieve more then we had in the beginning.

What it doesn't show is how healing builds upon healing and pain builds upon pain. It's no wonder we call it 'spiraling' when we talk about mental health. When we can't stop a negative thought, it will often generate another and another and another until we hit rock bottom. Breaking that spiral is so important. At the same time, if we are healing, building positivity upon positivity, we will reach higher and higher. That often means we reach higher and higher levels of healing. Of course that means we regularly revisit earlier themes which sometimes means people mistakenly think they make no progress or fear that they are stuck in a loop.

Why use a healing spiral?

If you know that healing and growth moves into a spiral, you can use it in your healing practice to increase healing as well as speed it up. Who doesn't like speeder results? It means meeting yourself where you are at, but also increasing your own healing potential. 

You can also use spirals to get to the core of issues or to manifest things outward. Spirals are found in nature, making it easier to meditate with this symbol. Of course spirals also feature in sacred geometry. So there are many ways in which you can connect to spirals and have them help you.

Some ideas to use a spiral

Here are some ideas on how to use a spiral:

1. Meditate with a spiral object like a seashell, a snail etc.
2. Walk a spiral inwards with a reflection question
3. Walk a spiral outwards with a manifestation focus 
4. Trace or draw spirals
5. Use a piece of rope, string or a necklace to make a spiral

Exercise: Healing Spiral

• Take around 10-15 minutes for this exercise
• Choose a healing theme (for example: physical health, assertiveness, acceptance)
  
• Gently close your eyes
• Breathe in and out until you feel comfortable
• Visualize a spiral staircase standing right before you
• Your staircase is filled with light and healing
  
• Set your foot upon the first step - breathe in and out - and access the healing available
• Gently ascend upwards to the next level
• Ask for the lesson or gift at this stage of healing 
  
• Breathe in and out - and access the healing available
• Repeat until you feel you are at the highest level of healing for yourself
• Extend gratitude towards yourself
  
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding

Pick and choose what works for you and affirm away (I recommend three times a day if you can manage it).

Dear People,

I recently spoke about the technique of Psychometry in my Dutch Spiritual Column and I've made a Creating Joy Video about it as well. This technique is defined in the dictionary as "divination of facts concerning an object or its owner through contact with or proximity to the object". For many people it's just considered token-reading. So let's discuss this technique for a bit today and try it out for yourself with a small exercise.

What is Psychometry?

The idea behind Psychometry is that energy from the owner will find it's way into objects. The ring you wear, your clothing, etc. etc. they all soak up your energies daily. Large items like your home, your car etc. will  also soak up your energies. So basically everything you surround yourself with is included in this energy exchange. People who are sensitive can read that energy and know things about you and your future. 

Some Psychics that work with Psychometry will ask you to have a token in your home for a few days and then bring it with you to the appointment. Flowers are very popular for that, but another popular way to do psychometry is with photos. 

Why use Psychometry?

If you are already sensitive to energy it makes a lot of sense to try to see if psychometry gives you good results. You can start by honing the skill on your own items, but doing that makes is hard to distinguish between what you already know about yourself and what you are actually sensing. 

Hopefully, you do have items in your home that belong to others. Maybe you have some second hand items, heirlooms or things you borrowed. It's of course easier to use psychometry on items from people you know as it's easier to confirm what you are receiving. I do highly recommend asking for permission if you choose to read an item belong to another living person. Everybody deserves privacy and you never know what information might come true. I know some people are confident that higher power/God/The Universe won't share what you aren't meant to know, but personally, I don't subscribe to that. 

Psychometry Exercise

• Take around 10-15 minutes for this exercise
• Select an item that you want to read 
• Gently close your eyes
• Breathe in and out until you feel comfortable and at peace
• Visualize opening your third eye and affirm that you are willing to listen to your intuition
• Touch the object that you want to read
• Register all the sounds, smells, thoughts, images etc. that come to you 
• Let go of the object
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding 
• If needed, do some cleansing, like washing your hands
  
• Write down your impressions and check them with the owner of the object

Repeat this exercise regularly to see if this spiritual technique comes easily to you or and if you want continue working with psychometry. For some, the impressions can be too much, and than grounding and cleansing becomes very important, for others the difference between what you are imagining and what you are really intuitively receiving can be hard to distinguish and others don't receive any impressions at all.

Don't be discouraged if this isn't the technique for you, there are many spiritual techniques to help us work with our intuition and be in tune with our soul path.

Dear people,

Of course we all like to succeed. And sometimes we feel that when we have God's/Heaven's/Higher Power's/Universes' blessing, when we're walking our soul path, that means that we'll only have success after success after success. And while, of course, I acknowledge that would be really nice, that is not my experience. We sometimes need to learn our lessons and sometimes we desire things or people that aren't right for us. So today I am talking to you about times when we are destined to fail.

Destined to fail 

When we fail, we can have two choices. We can choose to be bitter and upset. Or we can choose to trust that that wasn't the right thing for us. It's hard to accept, but maybe we were actually are needed somewhere else, be with somebody else or do something else entirely.

Example: Buying our House

When I was house hunting with my husband, that was a huge sellers market. So we decided to first sell his apartment and then only to start looking for a home for the both of us. And that meant that his apartment is sold really quick within only a couple of weeks. But also that we have spent a long time looking at houses afterwards.

When we finally found one that we both agreed on, we bid on it, but it didn't get sold to us. It was a huge bidding war. But since we only just started looking, we decided of course that it was just the start. But in the months after that, we could not really find anything that we were willing to bid on. And my husband was getting more and more nervous because due to financial reasons, the best thing to do for us was to buy a house within a certain period of the sale of his old appartment.

And finally, we saw another property that we would like to buy, so we bid on it, and we heard that it was just us and another potential buyer. And that was because COVID just started and we were in our first lockdown. And of course, everybody was saying that we were insane and that the housing market was likely to crash and we should just wait.

But we really liked the house so we decided to put an offer in. And again, our bid wasn't accepted. We had the highest bid but the couple we were bidding against actually didn't need to get a mortgage, they could pay in cash. So the sellers went with a cash offer.

So that evening, my husband was very dejected and very angry and he said, "I really thought that that was going to be our home and I am so angry. We spend months looking at houses and we still don't have one."
And I told him, "Look, we were destined to fail that wasn't our home, and if it is our home, the other buyers are going to go and drop out and we'll be called back asking if we want to still stand by our offer or not. But I told him, "That is obviously not our home."

And I asked him if he was willing to do some healing work with me so that he could let go of his anger and his disappointment and so we could move forward to the home that was ours. So I'm happy that he was willing to do that with me.

And then the next day I saw our home and I said, "Look, that's our home." And it was in the same street of the house that went into that bidding war. It's just a small street, so we were lucky to find another property for sale there within the same year. So we went to visit there and we made an offer. And we got the call a day later that the house was hours. We are very happily living there. And it really felt that it was destined to be our home.

Because we got this property almost a year later, we were able to save a lot more money and able to do a lot of renovations. And because it was during COVID lockdowns, we managed to snag somebody to actually do it for us because we could just offer him an empty house and the keys. Everything just fell into place wonderfully.

And we wouldn't have been there if we won the bidding war. We wouldn't have been there if we won the bid on the second property. So for us, the third time was the charm. 

Example from a client: miscarriage

When I was working with a client, some grief from a miscarriage came up during her session. She told me that it was devastating was it was the only time she managed to get pregnant and she had loved to be able to be a mother to a living child. 

Miscarriages are hard on the mind, body and soul for almost all people. Some people find meaning or manage their grief, while for others, it can be an open wound. Grief is always a deeply personal journey. So this example does not speak for others.

While she was able to release layers of grief she told me how much better her life had been afterwards. Something was set right in her body - as some major health issues resolved. Something was set right in her life - she recognized that her relationship wasn't right for her and that a child tethering her to that person would have been dangerous for her. She was able be thankful and extended gratitude to the soul she had felt and the experience she went through.  

Destined to fail exercise

If you look back, you might also find instances where after not getting your first pick, you found out that what you received instead was much better. It might be a second relationship, it might be that third bid on a house, it might be that third job offer or even something completely different. Staying in tune with what is right for you, allows you to find patience for the times where it seems you are living setback after setback.

• Take around 15-20 minutes for this exercise
• Make sure you are comfortable and can't be disturbed by your phone etc.
• Close your eyes 
• Take yourself back towards a time where you felt a painful failure
• Ask for help from Higher Power, God, The Universe, your Guides etc. to release any pain, guilt, self attack or other negativity to be released
• Breathe in and out slowly and fill yourself up with Inner Peace
• Ask if you have already received your better path - if you have - feel grateful
• If you haven't received it yet - ask to be filled with trust
• Gently open your eyes, drink a bit of water and do some grounding 

Dear People,

I haven't written much about the services I offer, so sometimes clients that find me through one of the services I offer are surprised what other things I do. For example clients that find me for Healings are surprised I also offer B2B Readings or that you can hire me for private events. You can find all my current services on my website, but I do receive a lot of clients by word of mouth, which usually highlights one service above the others. So this year I'm going to write some about my lesser known services. Today, I'm going to write about my coaching program! 

Why do I offer a coaching program

I have spoken before about the differences between my work and coaching, so while I do call it a coaching program, I do use my gifts. My coaching program consists of Healing/Reading sessions, short Healing Boost, support by phone or email and spiritual exercises.

Clients sometimes ask to work on several things, have several area's in their lives they want to improve or have multiple goals. That makes it hard to choose a single focus for a True Unity Healing. Sometimes clients are looking for direction and healing, so then it's difficult to choose between doing a True Unity Healing or a Psychic Reading. 

For those clients, I started a coaching program, so I can offer longer term support and create the best results. 

When to choose the program

When we are discussing what you want during a free intake, it often becomes clear that the program is also a viable option. By choosing my coaching program, clients receive support for the next 3,6 or 12 months and a mix of sessions and spiritual exercises. To give you a better idea of what the program might look like let me give you several examples.

A client who wants to know more about their romantic life (Reading), but at the same time also knows they need to work on some old relationship baggage (Healing). During a set time we can schedule Healings when old wounds get triggered, but also Readings when potential dates turn into more (or not). They also receive support by email or phone, so they can ask me short questions or discuss their experiences.  This full package ensures they feel supported and get what they need during their journey towards a healthy happy romantic relationship.

A client is starting a business, but while doing so, they have questions about where to best spend their time and energy (Reading), but at the same time, meeting potential clients brings out some personal blockages around receiving, self value and confidence (Healing). By starting a business coaching program, they can get all the support they need and regular checkups help keep them accountable.

A client is on a journey towards living a more spiritually aware life. They have questions about where or what they are being guided towards (Reading), but also want help when they are being challenged to step up (Healing) or when old thought patterns cause trouble (Healing). The program also gives them spiritual exercises to help develop their own intuitive gifts.

A client has several things they want to work on: love, career and some family obligations. By taking the coaching program instead of sessions, they can adjust their sessions to focus on what is most important at that time. Sometimes that means they have a Healing and other times a Reading is a better fit. Spiritual exercises help balance their several goals over a longer period of time.

How do you book my coaching program?

I have a free intake with you where we discuss what your program would look like. Usually we first discuss if you want to have a short program (3 months) or would like longer support. We discuss what your preferred way to connect is (by email or by phone). Then we decide what type of mix of shorter or longer sessions would work best with other obligations and what the goals of the program would be. 

All my coaching programs are tailored specifically to the needs and wants of my clients. That means you will receive a specific price quote based on what we discussed in your intake.

Benefits of my program

There are many benefits to working with the coaching program, but here are some I feel are the best:

1. Reduced cost: since we can skip several intakes a program is almost always cheaper than booking sessions separately
   
2. More accountability
3. More support
4. Specific personal spiritual exercises that you can reuse
