Working Through Childhood Issues

Learning to let go...
Have you ever realised that you have different attitudes in bringing up your children than your partner? I bet you have, otherwise you might be partly in denial or not be too involved in the education of them. The reason why the attitudes differ might be connected to the differences in your unresolved childhood issues.
Through my experience in therapy it has become very obvious that many of our attempts to ‘do the best for our children’, be it by teaching our children, supporting them in finding their own way, showing them the right way to act, being mindful of our fellow human beings etc are a way to resolve some of the unresolved issues of our own childhood. This obviously does not just apply to child rearing; we could in fact look at many other areas in life and find the same pattern operating.
Let’s have a look at an example: John is taking care of his 14 year old step-son Mark while his wife Julie (the mother) is at work. Mark asks to go to a friend’s place to which John agrees under the circumstance of Mark returning at 5.30pm. When Mark has not returned home by 6.30pm John is worried and mentions to Julie that they should pick him up. Julie does not see the problem in Mark being out at this time and does not understand John’s worry. They start to argue the point to which in the end Julie storms out the door and goes to pick up Mark. Continue reading Working Through Childhood Issues…
Therapy – really?
October 27, 2009 at 7:56 am | In book review | Leave a Comment
Today I would like to thank Lorna Martin who wrote the book called ‘Woman on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown’ for showing the courage, honesty and openness to tell the story of her experience being in therapy.
Here a quote from her book:
‘Of all the lessons I learned during that bizarre journey with her [her therapist], I think the most valuable was about not suppressing or denying emotions and not leaving important things unsaid or only partially said. I know now, thanks to her, that attempting to avoid uncomfortable or difficult feelings – whether of loss or love or rage or jealousy – leads to greater and long-lasting pain.’
Nowadays most of the book I read are about self development, the expansion of consciousness and awareness, psychologically interesting material or research in human development. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel by Lorna and can highly recommend it to anyone who thinks that therapy is for the weak and needy and selfish…
Feeling Overwhelmed?
October 26, 2009 at 8:08 am | In abrham hicks, communication, consciousness | Leave a CommentFeeling overwhelmed is a state that EVERY person can relate to. Have you ever thought about that you might be pushing yourself too hard to get things done and not taken other support into consideration? I can definitely relate to that.
Remember: Support can come in many forms…
Here is what Abraham has to say to feeling overwhelmed:
‘A feeling of being overwhelmed is your indicator that you are denying yourself access to all manner of cooperation that could assist you if you were not disallowing them.
As you begin to feel freer regarding the expenditure of time and money, doors will open, people will come to assist you, refreshing and productive ideas will occur to you, and circumstances and events will unfold. As you change the way you feel, you access the Energy that creates worlds. It is there for your ready access at all times.’

Comparion – Competition Need
September 30, 2009 at 3:00 pm | In consciousness | 1 CommentBetter, worse, more than, less than, more special, more common… Often human interactions are a game to differentiate ourselves from our fellow human being in some way that makes us feel superior. The ego is racing against the fear of going unnoticed.
I'm higher 
Let’s have a look at a typical conversation:
Person A: How are you today?
Person B: I am OK. I have got a bit of a headache.
Person A: Oh well, that is nothing. I am hurting from my head to my toes…
Here a conversation in relationship:
Husband: I had such a tough day at work. I need a rest.
Wife: Well I’m so tired. I had to deal with the plumber in the morning and could not do the grocery shopping and then in the afternoon I had all the kids from the neighborhood over to feed and look after. I can barely keep my eyes open. Guess how much I need a rest?
In a business setting it might sound like this: Continue reading Comparion – Competition Need…

Consciousness
September 16, 2009 at 8:31 am | In consciousness | Leave a CommentThis is a very cool original animation by Louis Lefebvre which chronicles the evolution of Consciousness from its inanimate state into human form and then back through spiritual seeking to Oneness. Its inspiration is the spiritual teaching of Wayne Liquorman and Ramesh S. Balsekar.

Consciousness about Judgment
September 15, 2009 at 9:36 am | In enlightenment, inspiration | Leave a Comment
... the nature of life ...
All judgment reveals itself
to be self-judgment in the end,
and when this is understood
a larger comprehension
of nature of life takes its place.

Perception – Consciousness – Destiny

Watch this clip for real enlightening insights into the shift of consciousness we are currently going through.
He says:
Remember…
A change in perception brings about a change in feeling
that brings about a change in consciousness.
Consciousness impacts your very experience of life which subsequently creates a shift in destiny.

Control and the Law of Attraction
August 28, 2009 at 7:22 pm | In abrham hicks, law of attraction | Leave a CommentTags: abraham, abraham's teaching, control
You will always attract that which you focus on…
... everything under control ...?
Attempting to Control Others Attracts More to Be Controlled…
It is easy to understand how you would come to the conclusion that your path to feeling good is through influencing or controlling the behavior of others. But as you attempt to control them (through influence or coercion), you discover that not only can you not contain them – but your attention to them brings more like them into your experience. You simply cannot get to where you want to be by controlling or eliminating the unwanted.
