Hmm, an entire month I’m wondering what to write. Should I write about how everything here is going incredibly fast and how busy it is now? Would I write about the many new therapies that are started and the many beautiful moments that I experienced in these therapies? Would I write about the incredible response I received after the launch of Jugo, the many warm and enthusiastic responses? Would I write about the new partnerships that are starting, new challenges, the funn ideas and initiatives? “The very fact that there is so much that I could write about, fills me with a tremendous sense of gratitude. In recent weeks much has changed, much has happened and is so much beauty came to me. Every day I enjoy the fact that I just do what I like for a living. Every day I feel more and more the flow of abundance that I may receive! I could also have started this newsletter otherwise: “This is the second newsletter … Stress! The response to my first newsletter was so overwhelmingly positive that I now feel the pressure: it must be good! Meantime more than 70 people have been registered to receive the newsletter! Fantastic of course, but also an extra pressure on my shoulders. What should I write? What will people like to read? Imagine that this second newsletter would be disappointing … Imagine everyone unsubscribing after reading this second newsletter … ” Everyone knows these thoughts, this tension that we set on ourselves. This fear and doomsday thoughts can give us pretty hard times. The text of the first newsletter just rolled out in one breath. As if the text already existed and just flowed through me, through my fingers on the keyboard. My head was not so much involved, the text came from my heart. Our hearts can not be dictated by fear, by unsecurity. You notice when you are in such a flow, inspiration comes naturally, all doom thoughts and fears are far away. You’re not concerned with “what will the others think”. You feel like a conduit of ideas, images, inspiration. At that moment we are free from restrictive and destructive thoughts. In that freedom the flow of inspiration comes by itself. If I keep busy with thoughts like “will they like it ‘, I block that flow and inspiration disapears. Then I’m stuck. Then I start a new phrase over and over again but gett stuck after a few words and delete everything. My head is not free to create from myself, but is mainly concerned with the nightmare image of failure. In every situation we have the chance to choose: do I respond from trust and gratitude or from fear and stress? Am I guided by the images of fear and doom or can I let go and trust the flow? From where do you respond? Can you lett go or do you lock the energyflow out of fear and doom thoughts? How do you look forward to the coming holidays? “Ai, eat a lot, come together and spend a lot of money” or “fun together again and enjoy the wealth (food, gifts, togetherness, joy, fun ,…) which most of us these days anyway be rolled into ” It is very interesting to find out what the basis is of your thinking. By being quiet, you can stop the flow of thoughts that constantly persists and you get more insight into the nature of your thoughts. Meditation, a long walk, being creative, are ways to become still. From there you can learn to control your thought. You can choose what thoughts may dominate your life: worries and fear or trust and joyous gratitude. This is what we experience in the silencegroup, step by step. Each week we go into the silence together. We start from gentle movement or sound in order to allow the silence and see what happens. Initially it is not always pleasant to be quiet, there is pain and sorrow or suddenly you very clearly those negative thoughts that rush through your head constantly. When I work with adults, I start the session always a few minutes of silence. During the first sessions most clients indicate that they do not like this. There is so much coming up that can no longer be suppressed. But by staying stil with what is and allowing it to be instead of always pushing it away, you notice that the pain decreases and the negative voice becomes quieter. Slowly, the silence gets deeper and you reach a sense of peace, a space within yourself where it is quiet and pleasant. The silence groups start in January in Diest and Ramsel. More info at: http://www.jugo.be/workshops_voor_volwassenen.html Interesting facts: I now work with Dr. Inge Buseyne (psychiatrist) and the many other employees in the group practice 't Labyrinth in Ham (www.tlabyrint.be). Every Thursday I work there with children and adults. The special feature of this cooperation is that each can maintain its individuality and personal experience and expertise so that we can work together and complement eachother rather than compete. I will be there providing psychotherapy and intelligencetesting. A while ago I saw a nice movie on the Internet: Elizabeth Gilbert (author of the bestseller "eat, pray, love") describes her vision on inspiration and creativity. In a sensitive and humorous way she tells in her words what I described the beginning of this newsletter (how you ca allow or block inspiration). Take a look: http://www.ted.com/talks/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html Closing This is the final month of the year. A period of celebration, but also a period of reflection. The darkest winterdays invite us to be quiet and to withdraw ourselves, as nature does. The end is always a time to look back, evaluate, be thankful for all the beautiful things that came your way (hence the habit of being together with your loved ones the end of the year), watching in silent acceptance what was difficult and it let go. From there we can start the new (new year), the new light (Christmas and the solstice) consciously. This is a magical time! Enjoy! I would also like to wish you the healing silence of the darkest winterdays, the belief that also this year the days will lengthen and the light will return, the joy of being together with your loved one, trust and flow! Happy holidays! With quiet greetings, Veerle Wauters

Which thoughts do you choose?

A second newsletter. Hmm, an entire month I’m wondering what to write. Should I write about how everything here is going incredibly fast and how busy it is now?

Everyone knows these thoughts, this tension that we set on ourselves. This fear and doomsday thoughts can give us pretty hard times.
