There they are again: the Rauhnächte

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 your sleep at night — is a harbinger of the coming twelve months. Each 24-hour day represents one month. The foreseeability of January therefore lies in 25 December. 30 December stands for the month of June. What can you truly rediscover for yourself during these special days?
THE GATES TO THE OTHER WORLD
During these days, the gates to the other world stand wide open. It is a time of reconnection with your ancestors, of connection to beings of light, angels, archangels, and God. It is the return of the holy light of God. In Christianity, the light of God is sent into this world through the Christ Child.
During these days, it is especially important to recognise the need to make peace with everything that lies in the past. Your themes continue to repeat themselves in your life for as long as you are not in acceptance of all that has happened to you. This becomes particularly clear during the Rauhnächte. You recognise the inward turning towards your inner light. This light is strong and enduring when you are at peace with everything that lies behind you.
DISCORD KEEPS YOU STUCK IN OLD STRUCTURES
No matter what has happened to you in life, it always has meaning — even if you do not always recognise that meaning. With the right openness, access can be created to a higher perspective on an event.
Even if you do not immediately recognise the meaning, you can be certain that, at the right time, it will come to light. Until then — and, of course, throughout the rest of your life — please entrust everything to God. This can only happen when you let go. Letting go, or surrendering, happens when you accept and forgive. Once this has taken place, you immediately feel better. The unrest fades. New space arises within you.
The Rauhnächte are there to help you recognise what you have not yet forgiven. You may either experience a repetition of what has not been forgiven, or new situations may arise that lead you into further karmic detachment of your being from the ego. When you become aware of your themes during the Rauhnächte, you can immediately begin working on them. This makes many things easier.
ENDING THE POWER STRUGGLE
Often, you remain entangled in conflicts with those around you without noticing what it is truly about. You automatically react again and again to the same patterns with similar behaviour. This happens because you keep responding to what you experience from your ego. Your true self, which is anchored in the present and in eternal life, has nothing to do with the ego.
It is a spiritual battle that you will win through recognition without projection of what is truly happening in each moment of life. The battle ends through your decision for the world of truth in God. The inner struggle between ego and true self ends when you stand by your decision in every further second of the rest of your life.
AN END TO THE TROUBLED PAST
The Rauhnächte this year once again give you the opportunity to redefine your inner script. Your life in God follows God’s plan, which is already destined for you. Your ego constantly tries to sabotage this plan and create its own version of how your life should unfold. Yet this is not in alignment with the plan you personally worked out before you came into this life.
The Rauhnächte show you very clearly what within you has not yet been healed — what has not yet been brought back into alignment with your divine plan.
Be certain that in the coming year, unresolved issues will be reactivated both in the outer world and within your inner world of thoughts. Choose to send them into redemption, and you will once again create space and air in your life for your true being.
TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
On 21 December, we experienced the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Choose to be the light of the world. Recognise how deeply you are truly loved. Stop doubting yourself and realise that all doubt regarding your love and the being you truly are is always only the resistance of your ego, trying to remain unhappy. Your ego feeds on unhappiness. End this cycle — NOW.
In my sessions, people end their identification with their ego and begin to feel who they truly are.
Thank you for your interest in my work,
