Discover the Effects the Colour Yellow has on YOUR Life

The Colour Yellow – Warmth, Authentic Connection & Support

We all need to develop these qualities in our lifetimes to thrive – but some of us are already born with (more of) these qualities, while others have to nourish and build them by going through the lessons they have to learn in this lifetime.

Which is true for you?

Community – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

Starting today, and for the next four weeks, we will think about how we can be at our best with others and how we can use our unique abilities, gifts and talents to contribute to the greater good of all.

As the first week of each chapter in the CREATRIX School is all about assessing where we are, so we can let go of what doesn’t serve us any more, and invite more of what we do want, we start this chapter by looking at our hopes for the future of our world as well as the experiences we’ve made in community so far.

INTEGRATION – Week 3 – Pt. 1

How inner peace can help us to sleep well

In this lesson we look at what we can do to find inner peace, hope for our future and our lives and influence the world in positive ways – so we know we’re doing our best and can sleep well.

Inner Child Archetypes and how they can Support your Healing Journey

Where do we come from? Today we will look at the Inner Child Archetypes. There are eight different ones: The Magical Child Archetype, the Divine Child Archetype, the Nature Child Archetype, the Curious Child Archetype, the Dependent Child Archetype, the Orphan Child...

Creatrix School

The CREATRIX School can guide you through the year to bring clarity, confidence and connection into every area of your life.
Every week, three new lessons are added, with exercises, ideas and inspirations to help you start creating the life you truly desire.

Self-Actualization – Week 3 – Pt. 1

Self-Actualization – Week 3 – Pt. 1

Are you ready to face yourself?

In this lesson, we look at why it’s so important to get to know ourselves and find clarity about who we are, and then we have a look at the first steps to become who we really want to be.

Self-Actualization – Week 3 – Pt. 2

Self-Actualization – Week 3 – Pt. 2

How to Change the World

In this lesson, we look at how we can use what we’ve learned for the greater good of the world. It’s one thing to change ourselves for the better (and the whole world already changes for the better when we do) – but we can also consciously apply the same methods we use to create meaningful change for ourselves, to create something even bigger.

Self-Actualization – Week 3 – Pt. 3

Self-Actualization – Week 3 – Pt. 3

Your Life Matters

In this lesson, we bring our attention to the fact that not only are our lives meaningful, every thought and every word that we speak or think, is. And every person, no matter how triggering they might be, has the right to exist – and if we develop the wisdom to see our triggers as teachers – we will eventually find peace.

Self-Actualization – Week 4 – Pt. 1

Self-Actualization – Week 4 – Pt. 1

How to handle rejection

Nothing happens in a vacuum. If we want to succeed on a personal, community or even larger level, we have to collaborate with other people. But not all may be ready for our ideas or the right people for us to work with.

Self-Actualization – Week 4 – Pt. 2

Self-Actualization – Week 4 – Pt. 2

What have we learned this month?

What a month it’s been. Here are a few highlights of what we’ve looked at and learned this month. What was your most important discovery?

Self-Actualization – Week 4 – Pt. 3

Self-Actualization – Week 4 – Pt. 3

What would your qu_ing-self do?

It’s all about integration! Let’s have a look at how we can integrate what we’ve learned this month into our highest-self or qu_ing-self, so we can use our new knowledge most effectively.

Practices

Every chapter of the CREATRIX School comes with a recipe, a practice and a ritual.
This way, we transform what we learn into something visible and something we can feel with all our senses.
This helps to make the changes stick and see the results of our changed realities.

Ritual: Treat Yourself like Someone You Love

Ritual: Treat Yourself like Someone You Love

When was the last time that you cooked yourself a fancy dinner? Set the table, put on nice music? Just for yourself?

How easy you find it to do something nice just for yourself, shows how much you actually love and respect yourself.

And to do something nice just for yourself is a great way to practice self-love.

Dear Future Self

Dear Future Self is an ongoing series which takes a look at the presence in its impermanence. The idea is to capture a certain moment in time, a feeling, a wish, an encounter or experience and to recognize that the perspective on that moment will change.

My future self will know more than I do now, will have had more and different experiences than my current self, and will therefore have a different view on what I’m noticing now. Going back and forth, between these notes, also documents the steps in personal development and shifts and changes on an individual level.

Self-Actualizing, personal development, the search for more options, or simply experiencing growth and change for any reason, might feel weird, scary or uncertain. Yet impermanence or becoming is something we all share.

Sing, Soul, Sing

Sing, Soul, Sing

What is it that makes your soul sing? When are you happy, and when do you feel free? I feel most happy and free when I allow myself to be present. When I allow myself to forget about all plans or duties and just get in the flow of experiencing and becoming. Most of...

Do You Speak Up Enough?

Dear Future Self, When I was eleven or twelve, I decided not to be completely honest with other people, if it meant that it would hurt their feelings. I did not actually know that was what I was doing, though. I thought I had decided not to say things behind people's...

What Do You Do When There’s a War and neo-Nazis in Ukraine?

Are there neo-Nazis in Ukraine? It’s a scary feeling to have a war so close to home, something that I never hoped to experience. As a sensitive child who has heard many horrible stories about the first two world wars from my great-grandma and my grandparents, it was always my biggest fear.

I still remember the panic I had when I saw submarines practising in the Baltic Sea in the nineties when the war was going on in Yugoslavia and how I couldn’t stop crying. And how my Mum kept saying that it wasn’t here, that they’re not fighting here, but how I was unable to feel that separation.

🔮 What would your life look like, feel like, taste like, if you lived as your authentic self?

BODY // MIND // SOUL

To be able to live a long, healthy, successful and joyful life, we need to bring balance into our lives and align body, mind and soul.

If you’d like to find out which area of your life might need the most attention right now, you can download the FREE Wheel of Life worksheet.

Depending on your analysis, you might then want to learn more about healthy eating, exercise or other forms of physical self-care. For this, you’ll be able to find a lot of useful information in the BODY section of this blog.

If you’d like to focus on your mindfulness, your meditation practice, how you can change your thinking to support you better in life and other ways to train your mind for resilience and love, you’ll find information on that in the MIND section of this blog.

And lastly, we all need community, relations and collective growth – our soul wants you to experience that you are connected to all that is, so we can rejoice in this connection. You can find out more about this and other ways of creating loving and peaceful relationships in the SOUL section.
