THE CALL OF LOVE
My beloved! Surrender yourself to the call of love. You need not make any effort to be love. For God has created you to be love. All you need to do is remember your beautiful soul. And I am here with you to help you remember this. Surrender to the call of love and follow your heart. Remembering is not complemented through words, but through your heart. Beyond the words, the happenings and the frequency of the mind, a wonderful reality shines in you. You are love. And your heart so remembers and tries to express this here on Earth in every possible way. You have emerged from God’s wonderful and incomprehensible spiritual body, dear child, to create your own reality here on Earth as well. You have incarnated here to sow love and reap love. So you need to allow your heart to remember this and follow its call. I love you and joyously help you remember the miracle that you are.

FALL ASLEEP IN GOD’S ARMS
When you go to sleep, place yourself in your Christ self, in the beautiful spirit that you are in God, and feel how love breathes in you. Let go of daily worries with every breath. Feel your body and soul getting lighter and lighter. Everything that happened during the day is part of the past, and if it was not in harmony with the love that lives in you, it will be transformed into wisdom in you. You simply have to let go. Feel that love is your pillow, your blanket, the bed you sleep in. All is love in you and around you. You are in it like you are in a soft cloud. You sleep in God’s arms, my dear heart. Deeply absorb every drop of love and you will have smiling dreams.

BREATHE IN LOVE
In the morning, as you open your eyes, feel that you are waking up in the arms of God’s Love. God is everywhere around you and within you. Love fills everything with its blissful presence. Take a few conscious breaths and inhale deeply every drop of love. Feel that love fills your lungs and that its power flows into your arms, legs, and every part of your body. Feel how your heart is filled with love and this love is reflected back to you from all directions. There is love inside and outside, because it is the only reality. Love, God, is infinite and unspeakably mighty and powerful. Yet He can incarnate in any form. The energy that flows to you through this practice is an embodiment of love. It is very real, and is not just a figment of your imagination. If your intention is directed towards this, you are literally able to absorb love as a life-giving source.

IN THE COMPANY OF EMOTIONS
When a feeling takes hold of you, go into the dance completely—but without words. When you are happy, it is easy: you fly, dance or sing. But when you are sad or angry, your mind starts running the same rounds you have learned in the world, asking why and generating self-pity or even judgment. Therefore, put aside words completely, my dear heart, and try to be aware and express what you feel. If you are sad, look for the feeling in your body. You can observe it from the outside, i.e. you do not identify with it. If you feel a pressing in your stomach, simply observe and be aware that you are not one with the feeling. The feeling is inside you, you hold it in a soft rocking embrace. You calm your body and empathize with it. Your attention gently turns from the feeling to the beauty of yourself. You, who are beautiful love and tender compassion, lovingly embrace your own feelings. In this way, the feeling—without you realizing it—gently matures into wisdom and light within you. Perhaps you feel inspired to dance, move, or draw, expressing your feeling somehow. In this way, every experience becomes a prayer without words that is meant to enrich you.

RAINBOW LIGHT
Rainbow light is the light of unconditional love. This energy has awareness. It is a face of love. Love takes a million forms to be known and experienced. Rainbow light also forms one of the layers of your body, in a way that is invisible to you. Close your eyes and feel that every single cell of yours is filled with rainbow light, and that this brilliant light emanates from you. Perhaps you feel a slight and pleasant vibration of energy, or a kind of lightness in your body. We are in a new world, so you will naturally have new experiences and knowledge about yourself and the world. However, the new does not always show itself immediately. Maybe you do not feel anything, but the energy of the rainbow light still permeates completely. Imagination can help a lot to bridge this transition period. Imagine yourself as a radiant light. See with your mind’s eye, your spiritual eyes, how the shining light of love radiates from all your cells. This is how you get in touch with the energy pulsating inside you. With awareness, you recognize it as part of your being and identify with it. Love is not a concept, but is a living reality that completely permeates everything you do.

THE JOY OF MOVEMENT
Allow yourself a few minutes and pay attention only to your movements. This can be any form of movement or even walking. Feel the love moving in you. When you run, feel the momentum of love within you; if you do stretching exercises, feel the elasticity and flexibility of love; if you dance, bring the playfulness and joy of love into it. Your goal now should be to feel the joy of love within you. The beautiful divine spirit that you are, joyfully joins the dance of form and enthusiastically embraces the reality of the body. Feel how the spirit within you rejoices with each movement you make, which can be as simple as lifting your leg while walking. Give yourself a few minutes to feel it. Maybe you feel a desire to connect the movement with your breathing or you imagine yourself staying in a color while doing it, or you feel the joy of your cells as they get fresh energy. Consciously go deep into your body. Feel the energy you get from movement. Feel the invigorating energy in your limbs and realize that the power of love fills you. There is no other reality but love, and little by little, along our journey, you will discover that every moment of ours is about love, is nourished by love, and reflects love.

IN THE EMBRACE OF THE MOTHER
My dear child! Sometimes you are overwhelmed by life’s difficulties or physical and mental pain. You feel that you cannot bear your burdens alone. Be aware that you are never alone. The entire Heaven is at your service if you ask. Yes, at your service. The wonderful impulse of the Spirit is to help each other and serve love in every moment of our existence. This divine service fills all of us with happiness. Do not hesitate for a single moment to turn to me if you feel alone or if your burdens are heavy. On Earth you are like a child. You do not see through Life yet, so you long for the Mother’s embrace and guidance. Come to me and I will always help you. I rock you in my arms to the sweet melody of love. I caress you, cherish you, guide you, talk to you and be with you every single moment. There is no act, no thought, no feeling that can take you away from my embracing motherly love. I give you the motherly love of God. I love you forever with an endless, accepting, encouraging, protective and embracing love.

IN THE RHYTHM OF NATURE
Tune in to the rhythm of nature, my beloved, and let its wisdom permeate you. When it is summer and all of nature is active, it is easier for you to do your activities, but in winter, follow the rhythm of nature and give yourself more rest time. Nest into your quiet peace and fill yourself with inner light. Feel the rays of your heart pouring out into the world around you. In spring, when you feel the awakening of nature, new forces, desires, and plans can awaken in you, which fill you with enthusiasm. Let yourself be guided. God also guides through nature, life, events and people. Move softly with the world that surrounds you. Feel the wise undulations of nature. When the sun is shining, give yourself over to its bright radiation and feel its power flowing into your body and soul. On rainy days, observe and feel how the rain cleans your environment, the streets, the trees, and at the same time, your thoughts and feelings become purified too. Tune in to the cleansing power of the rain, and the rainy days you might not have liked until now will be to your advantage. God always wisely knows what you need and will provide it. You gently accept the world and nature with its rhythms and surrender to its gifts. Because life—with all its diversity—is the flow of divine love.

IN THE MIDDLE OF FEAR
There are certain situations in life, my beloved, that generate fear in you, whether they are regarding the present or the future. When you notice signs of fear or worry in yourself, rejoice that you have become aware of an energy pattern that has lived in your subconscious until now. This way, you now have the opportunity to talk about it with God, letting this small vortex of energy turn into light and wisdom within you. Whatever caused your anxiety or fear, take it before God, place it in His hands and evoke the truth about yourself and your situation. The truth always sets you free to experience joy. Everything is for you and everything helps you. The same is true for each and every one of your siblings, since nothing can happen to anyone that does not serve the purposes of the Spirit, no matter in what guise a given event appears. And the other truth is that God is within you. He is inseparable from you, so the love and power of God are also in you. In cooperation with God, there is no life experience that does not bring wisdom to you and your siblings. So, when you find yourself in the midst of fears and worries, pray like this: “God, who is in me, I entrust myself to your guidance. I put my fears and worries in front of You and I trust You. In your strong arms, my fears disappear. Together with You, I will find out the answer to every problem. I let You guide me through all my life experiences. You are in me and I am in you. Fill me with your peace and strength. Amen.” Then place yourself in the power of the words and feel the peace and power of God filling you. It does not come to you from outside, but from the depths of your heart, since your heart resides in the Heart of God. What you ask for is already yours.

PEACE IN UNREST
Sometimes your mind, with its habitual way of thinking, wants to take over your heart. Thoughts appear in it that are imbued with the characteristics of the old way. It makes you uncertain, outlines the worst options for you, makes you worry or even drives you to despair. From an Earthly perspective, you might be right. Some of the events of the world are reflections of the creation of the mind, whether you are looking at your own life or the flow of the world. Yet I say, dear child, not to believe such thoughts. Stop them, let them go, and settle into the peace and happiness that is yours. If there is unrest outside, you are still able to find your own peace within. Let the tranquility of peace wash over you. Decide that you will insist on the peace of your heart in all circumstances. Heaven is within you. Enter and this peace will gently flow into your experiences. No matter what happens in the world, no matter what happens in your life—peace is within you. There is no power that can take away your peace. There is not a happening that can prevent you from entering the peace and happiness of your heart. The peace and happiness of the heart are eternal, while events are always changing. Focus on what is eternal, so you will have a radiant peace even in the ever-changing world.
