Freeing your own powers to reach your goals or fulfil your intentions and desires is important. Once a new project is started or a big life changing event occurs, you need perseverance and clarity to stick to your goals and make the right decisions. It is very important to feel joy and fulfilment when creating something new. Then it will be easier to have victory over the problems that will arise during the process of the new project/change.

Good exercise

Many times starting new projects or taking huge life changing steps can be overwhelming. Let’s say you are quitting your job and you need to move to another city. You have to let go of everything that is familiar to you, all the things that made you feel safe and secure. You are taking a step into the unknown.

I remember when I made the move from the Netherlands to Austria, that it did bring some stress. Letting go of my home, letting go of my children, grandchildren and the rest of the family. Thanks to my meditation practice I was able to cope with the stress in the best possible way. I felt excitement and a thrill to start a new chapter in my life. A good exercise that helped me cope with the stress was one which I learned at the Chopra Center. Every evening before I fall asleep, I take a few minutes to review my day. I look back at the achievements of the day, but also the things that did not work out so well. This exercise always helped and still helps me to relax my body/mind before I go to sleep. It is like writing my day in my mental diary. In my sleep my body and mind will have the opportunity to regenerate better because I reorganized my thoughts before I went to sleep.

My current project

My current project at this moment is the Spice company “Spice enLight”, which I started with my friend Amar. Looking back I can only say that it needs time and perseverance to start up the whole process of selling spices. Most important part of the whole project is that we (Amar, his team and me) have a lot of fun and joy in establishing the spice company. We also stay focused on our mission: Giving employment to women in and around Khajuraho/India for the purpose that they can earn their own income and will not be (too) dependent on their husbands income.

Finding answers

In the silence of meditation I find the answers to my daily struggles. In the stillness I am able to connect with the cosmic computer/our universe, which already has all the answers available. I only have to tap into this field of all possibilities by sitting down, closing my eyes and starting my mantra. Meditation gives me so much happiness and joy. It helps me to stay focused and concentrated so that I can make the best possible decisions for my life’s journey. In meditation I am FREEING MY OWN POWERS!
