Each year, the Rauhnächte mark the end and the new beginning of the year. This year as well, you are invited to perceive within yourself the special energetic quality of this unique time and to recognise the messages it contains. There are twelve Rauhnächte in total. They begin on 25 December and end on 6 January. The twelve result from the last six nights of the old year and the first six nights of the new year. Everything that comes to you during these days — and especially

In my recent blog newsletter entries, I have written about control dramas and their transformation — patterns we as human beings live out when we are not connected to our own inner energy. THE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL Each of the control mechanisms mentioned here is rooted in the original fear that, without connection to our parents, we would not be able to survive. In childhood, our parents are indeed the foundation of our survival. And when, as children, we needed energy in or

In the previous blog entry, we explored the control drama of the Interrogator. He displays behaviour rooted in control. The Unapproachable, like all control dramas, is also driven by control. By withdrawing from others, he repeatedly creates the feeling of drawing energy away from them.

THE INTERROGATOR Although physically less threatening, these individuals are nevertheless capable of breaking a person’s will and spirit t

THE STRUGGLE FOR ENERGY As human beings, we find ourselves competing with one another in order to obtain energy from others. As long as we fail to draw energy from the inner connection between ourselves and our true source — the “True Self” — we will continue to fight for the energy of other people. We attempt to seize this energy by setting Control Dramas in motion with others. We are convinced that we must receive attention, love, recognition and support — all of which are

If you wish to lose your centre, hold on to unrealistic expectations about your life and about the people around you. Disappointment will be inevitable. Are you one of those who expect more from others than they are truly able to give? In today’s society, a form of perfectionism prevails that can, in truth, never be fulfilled. Let go of this perfectionism before you perish in pessimism about the world and the people within it. IT IS AS IT IS Every human being is repeatedly co
