October is quiet on the whole, but not motionless.

It is not a month of rapid ups and down and high waves, as we know it well enough from the summer months. Nevertheless, a stable transformation moves soundlessly on. It will be – and that is the big and fundamental change in these days – accompanied by a different way of acceptance.

Your consciousness has changed in such a way that another kind of agreement is possible in situations, even if they are painful, different than expected or unforeseen. As a broader understanding that EVERYTHING that happens is to the best for you.

This prepares the ground for a trust which is in you and grows noticeably, just like an “I know”. And this is not a knowledge that comes from the mind, rather a knowledge that is an inner wisdom that could arise through your path. It was Søren Kierkegaard who coined the phrase: “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards”. When you look back today, now, in this moment – all of the deep, moving, agitating and touching times, which were certainly not always easy, all had their good sides and were necessary to bring you where you are today. Can you see that? Can you see yourself in it? Appreciatively, yet without pride. It takes a lot of courage and patience to travel this path, which is beyond our conventional notion of success and “progress”. Thanks for you!

Wow! What a month August was! So many things came up, happened and wanted to be experienced.

It’s not without reason that letting go, and with it the focus on exhalation, is an essential theme this month.

It is only when we consciously exhale that it often becomes clear what we were actually holding onto. This is so important to feel and to develop an awareness for.

We can do it in this instant: Close your eyes for a moment, inhale through your nose and then exhale with open lips, jaw loose and an audible sound or sigh while you letting all the tension flow out with it. Allow your whole body to relax and loosen your shoulders. And if you like, you can repeat it about three times in succession and again, several times a day when you are feeling any kind of pressure in you.

What is happening in these days may feel like an operation on the open brain. Yes, and this is exactly what it’s about!

Pretty immediate and direct our old programming, unconscious thoughts, believe sets, perspectives on our lives are currently presented to us, brought to light in the best sense. Already the second half of July has – one could say kind of “sound the bell" for this movement. The intensity and speed with which we are confronted with these things – in us and through the mirror of the external – will further potentiate in August.

It’s an intense phase of healing of our unconscious.

Many of you might possibly think now "please no more. I really can’t sustain much more presently", but compared to the first half-year, the energy has in a way rotated, changed. By this is meant that the perceived and to a certain extend also manifested retrograde of the first months – which may has caused in some a debilitating severity and a kind of hopelessness and despair – evaporates more and more out of the process. Why? Because with the consciousness raising, loosening and dissolution of our own self-sabotaging beliefs and mechanisms an incredible (noticeable!) freedom is connected, a lightness – your whole system can finally breathe again! (And if, at first, these might only be short instants. Let them touch you!) It’s like tomatoes would be taken from the eyes at moments. And suddenly you see. You truly see!

The themes of visibility and vulnerability go very much hand in hand with self-esteem and self-love.

Was it indeed a year in which, so far, a lot of introspection, inner processes and reexamination of old issues were predominating, it’s now, in July, coming to a first small energetic turn – comparable as if you are dribbling forward in a ball game. It’s our clear and distinct presence in the external that sets the important impulses in the coming weeks, without being hard and firm.

This month is an invitation to expand while “walking”. And yet no master has fallen from the sky and every new challenge is always unknown and therefore possibly or most likely also scary. However, it’s often the greatness of the task that scares. Just always take the next step, put one foot in front of the other. This is what you can do, no doubt. When you enter into the direct experience, then all the pictures and ideas “how terrible all is going to be” can transform through the process of walking into inner strength, power and joy.

What does transformation actually mean?

I frequently make the experience in my work with people that they change many things in their outer life, but that the inner often hasn’t followed yet to swing in true harmony with the external. Separation, farewell, move, relocation – all this can be implemented and still, it doesn’t mean that it has already arrived on a soul level.

This month is an invitation to spend much time with yourself!

It’s about really integrating the inner and I would like to glance at that – also in view of the striking astrological constellations in these and the past weeks of these I hear so many people say “oh my god, it’s all retrograde”! What positive can we gain from that? It’s worth to take a closer look – mainly to feel!
