It was on a Friday, December 11th 2009 when I missed my train to go home. Right at the train station there is a bookstore called “Rest seller” and as I had nothing better to do while waiting for my next train to leave I took a stroll through the store and looked through the books in the display. A small, white book with a few butterflies on the cover caught my attention. I love everything that has wings…such as fairies, angels etc. and there was something playful and light about this book. But being a person that had lost the interest in getting more spiritual books, I didn’t really wanna buy another book. Besides that, I didn’t expect this book to tell me something new. At the same time I liked the idea of getting really cozy on my sofa on a cold winter evening and reading short stories, after all it was not an expensive book, so what did I have to lose? It was just a book with sweet butterflies. I decided to get it – having NO idea that this book would be the starting point of true transformation and many blessings to come into my life! (more…)
You know how transformation happens in retrospect? Well, since being back from Costa Rica for 2 weeks now, I can really see it!
Being in Costa Rica was such a gift. Ariel & Shya created this course for us with such care, in a way that each of us – and all of us as a group – experienced magic. Being in that incredibly gorgeous and alive environment with everyone was like waking up on Christmas morning every day. From ‘big’ things to little ones…though I really can tell the difference between them now! Like walking down the path to the dining area one afternoon. I really saw, and more than that, felt the beauty and glory of the world around me and of myself – I felt like Snow White, as if I was communicating with all the creatures around me by just being with and enjoying them We had some nights of singing after dinner and hearing people sing even a 1 minute song brought tears to my
eyes; or being on a horse who responded to even my thoughts (before I had to do anything to communicate my instruction), and being in that paradise-like place with some of the most incredible people from all over the world that I have ever met; it felt as if we were doing amazing & important work for all of humanity (though there was really no work involved). (more…)
How are you? 14 days ago I came back from Costa Rica.
WOW! There’s still this wonderful impact I feel in myself. What do I mean? Well, being in Costa Rica was a unique experience. Pure self-discovery and adventure. It was such a gift to discover myself, to discover the beauty of the moment, the wonderful nature, to meet the other participants and to be with them.
Ariel and Shya created a wonderful environment to discover Transformation. They are so wise and I am so thankful for this amazing adventure and happy to be part of this community.
Costa Rica was amazing! It was such a treat that I was there for two weeks! My husband Jay, our friend Susan & I watched some of the video we shot in Costa Rica. And I was amazed to see myself. I looked calm and comfortable in my skin.
Costa Rica gave me the opportunity to be me. To be me in a place with 50 plus glorious friends in a land of pure beauty. It was magical as we all transformed and relaxed into the moment. The two weeks in Costa Rica gave me the opportunity to relax into myself, as I kept dropping the thoughts that requested I work on myself. The old mechanics didn’t have staying power as I didn’t entertain & indulge in urges of self pity. It was amazing!! And this skill set got easier & easier as each day flew by.
Last night while I was working off my pile of papers to deliver to school before I go to Costa Ricaaaaaaa on Friday:-))))), I suddenly felt the urge to watch the last video-podcasts that I got being a member of the Premium Excellence Club. I had had trouble looking at them directly just clicking on the arrow and procrastinated finding out about the other possibilities for watching them. But there I was, in a wiff I got the solution – on my own – it worked and I could watch these brilliant moments in time!
I had totally forgotten how visible transformation gets on somebody’s face, in somebody’s stature, and even over the camera through the computer I felt as if I was in the room with everybody experiencing life to the fullest.
Make that a part of your life, too! If you ever had the slightest thought like “maybe I’ll join sometime…”: do it now, there’s just not a moment to waste in your life and the lives of everybody around you! (more…)
My aunt Anne from Hamburg, Germany threw a birthday brunch party on Sunday. So my parents, who live 2 hours away, took the opportunity to arrange a weekend in Hamburg. On Saturday they visited my boyfriend Jürgen & me, in the evening they watched a Musical in Hamburg and on Sunday we met all together at Anne’s place.
We had a very nice time together. We ate Jürgen’s brilliant homemade plum cake…mmmh, and everything went very smoothly. We talked about our experience of Instantaneous Transformation and my father was especially interested. During our chat Jürgen and I also discovered that we had a different opinion about how to understand one issue of Transformation and had a discussion about it.
Holly, a teacher mentor in the New York City school system, offers insights on how Instantaneous Transformation can open endless possibilities for educators.
I love going to work. For someone who used to think I should have been a rock star, it amazes me how much I love being a Loan Service Officer at an Investment Bank!
I used to be in a pop/rock band for 6 1/2 years. During this time, I was the Receptionist at the Bank. At my first year review, my boss asked what I thought of my career path. I answered, “I’m not interested in climbing the corporate ladder because my band is going to be discovered”. For the next 8 years, there I stayed in my administration assistant position, treating it like a “day job,” waiting for my life to begin.
