Happy Holidays…

Another year is approaching its end…and it is time to take a pause, be with family, take a deep breath and gather energy for what is to come…

I wish all of us that our sense of wonder, humour, love and awe will never end, that we and our loved ones are blessed with health, happiness and peace…and that all the good we have inside may manifest also in our outer world…

 

with much love and blessings for the festive season xxx Astrid

Remembering Nelson Mandela

The message, that Nelson Mandela went into transition last night, made me re-feel the gratitude and admiration I have for this great soul and all he has done for the world. It is said, that he cited the following quote attributed to Marianne Williamson, in any case he truly proved and lived it in my eyes. A great soul that all of us can learn from…thank you, thank you, thank you…

„Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‚Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?‘ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

A description of Reiki by Virginia Samdahl…

Flipping through my books today I found this quote by Reiki Master Virginia Samdahl in on of the early publications about Reiki…and felt like sharing it…

BambusREIKI is God’s love in its purest form.
It is completely unconditional.
It demands nothing of the giver nor the receiver.
It propounds no creed or dogma.
It requires no specific belief in the supreme being or in Reiki itself.
Used in its traditional form,
as developed by Dr. Usui in the Usui System of Natural Healing,
Reiki heals the body and emotions,
bringing them into balance and promoting
health, happiness, prosperity, and long life
