So this is my "get-to-know-me-better" post.

Hi there! This is me, Maike, introducing myself.

my individual Yandala, artist: Yvonne Lamberty

Do you see how the yandala is glowing from the inside out?
That´s me :)
I do emanate love from the inside out.
Not all the time but most of the time I dare to say.

I am a big fan of discovering the beauty in small things,

the love inside everyone of us, the strength that lies inside me and you and in every hardship we encounter throughout our lifetime.

I am a magician when it comes to acknowledging and solving emotional issues.

I help people relax into their processes by means of words, singing bowls, psychokinesiology, essential oils. By just being and holding space for whatever needs space and love and time to transform, heal and light up.

I can do magic when it comes to dealing with personal challenges through introducing relaxation into the process.

Singing bowls and essential oils are my most valued wands.

I love and live with colour.

They are everywhere in my house, in my working space, in my clothes, in my beautiful rhinestone jewelry. (I love sparkling earrings.) I recognize colour wherever I go and I strive and bloom and grow doing so.

I live

with my teenage daughter and our dog in the northern part of Germany. We have a house and garden.

My money-making jobs are

coaching & consulting and working with the elderly in a retirement home.

One of my most valued spiritual practices is gratitude.

After years of trying to get things "right", looking for someone to make me feel right, to heal me, to make me feel valuable and free and after reflecting on myself, my life, taking classes, workshops, lessons for years, I realized on the morning of my 50th birthday that my life is just beautiful.
I became immensely aware of and grateful for all that I have and all there is. For each and everyone I meet - even if someone made me feel bad, angry, irritated, frightened. For every breath I take, for the food I eat and for every experience I make - yes, every one of them!

I am a natural when it comes to supporting people in mourning.

Bit by bit

I am working on letting go of "stuff". I imagine living in a small apartment instead of a house for example.
I give away things I don´t need anymore.
I try to share what I have.
I don´t buy items just because anymore.
And I am in love with a cozy convenient way of life. So there´s a contradiction - at least in my mind - I still have to transform ;) . Or don´t I ? I´m not sure and know it will get solved along the way.

Next to gratitude is faith and trust.

No easy way got me there but I am finally at a point in my life where I am kind of aligned with (my) life. Where I can grasp faith pretty fast even when something frightens me or has me unsettled.
