What if Joy could be your reality with your body?

Submit… to No Judgment

What would happen if you would have…
no judgment of you
no judgment of your body
no judgment of the planet
no judgment of the universe…?

What would happen if you would submit to what you, your body, the planet and the infinite universe have to gift to you…?

Thank You Body. I Love You

A good old post-gym selfy 😁

Fuck, I so LOVE to create with my body… to work out, move, pump it up, stretch, make stronger more flexible and much more… 😉

I get highly agitated when my body ends up not being one of the main ‘projects’ in my life. The skin I live in so important to me. If I’m not giving it the loving it deserves everything in my life kinda goes down a bit and NO I’m not allowing that.

It’s my choice to create space for BodyLoving in my dynamic life ✌🏻

I had the interesting point of view my curls are in the way while working out…
Today I let it fly around free and WILD and loved every second of it

Could you love every part of your body so much and let every molecule contribute to the creation of your life?

Even the parts you think are not beautiful or you think you hate can contribute to you if you start receiving them TOTALLY.

Every. Friggin. Molecule 💫

Thank you body. I love u

HOSPITAL ADVENTURES

14322322_10153708616470736_3132392437325358312_nBusy check up today, September 12 2016

This is me.

Body is doing great. YES, I still have check ups after last years adventure, when things got really messy.

I’m making peace with my life and the world around me. For as far as I can, I’ve been looking at where my life is still messy and I’m cleaning up. My sick and hospital adventure created a lot of weird things with other people, that I am not happy with or proud of at all.

It’s bringing up so much than I ever wanted to create, or for people to get stuck with.

Not all fun, fairly uncomfortable yet very freeing to finally give it air to breathe and change.

I’ve had enough of being resentful in any way.
I’m alive, that is what matters to me.

I used to resist hospitals and medicine in all forms and ways. I was convinced and told that it was not ‘conscious’ enough and I was stupid enough to believe it.

Now I don’t resist anymore. It’s a choice to create with and to receive help when I need it, even though I didn’t want to at first.

I realized I used to not show or share this part of my life, to uphold a certain image.

“Will people still like me if they know that I have my flaws too? That I’m not perfect? That I landed up in the hospital while I’m facilitating body work and consciousness after all… So I should be enlightened and perfect, right…?”

Like it’s not allowed to be there.

Fuck that.
This is part of my life too.
This can be on Social Media too

This is me, with all my good, bad, ugly and beautiful.

Consciousness includes everything and judges nothing. Everything is possible and everything is a possibility.

So truly grateful for everyone that contributed to me when I needed them so much, to go through this and recover, to help me to build up my life again.

If I ever created any weird shit in your universe, by not being present, or by making things secret, or with whatever, I’d like to know. Please reach out to me and let’s talk.

Celebrate life and creation my friends.
It’s precious. Enjoy it. 

❤️

Healthy and Happy Body

14022275_10153663579085736_374947979464980990_nWanna fly? High…?

Take your Body along for the ride 😉💪🏻

What’s not to say and to know about this…?

After pretty good year, it feels like I have a totally new body that supports me in so many ways… Strong, happy and healthy.

It’s showing me so much, about having ease and peace with all of life.

When I’m having a ‘not so happy’ moment, there’s always my body, totally overriding any unhappiness. With it’s buzzing feet, it’s moving molecules and non judgment.

It’s not new to me. I have been really enjoying it as most of you might know

😉

And I’m acknowledging and receiving it more and more and more… every single day. And it grows! It keeps on growing the more I notice it. This co-creation thing is so amazing!

What if having a healthy body starts with a having a happy body?

What judgments about it… could you loose…?

What if PAIN doesn’t have to be forever…?

14030745_10153646216585736_1511352017_n-2What if PAIN doesn’t have to be forever?

Earlier this week I realized that… I have had NO PAIN in my body for at least 4 months.
I was waiting for the train and just noticed my body walk and stand lightly on the train platform.

It was such an amazing ‘light flash’ moment and an acknowledgement of what I’d apparently taken for granted.

YES, I’ve been creating towards this, especially the last year where I made the demand of me to have more joy with my body than I ever imagined possible. It worked! How does it get even better?

So funny how we usually mostly or only acknowledge the heavy and painful things, and if it’s light and easy. Mostly light and easy are not even considered to be true or real and it goes by unacknowledged.

It’s not that I don’t sense anything anymore in my body. I’ve had many intense awarenesses in, through and going by my body from which pretty much none have turned into PAIN locked into my body.

WOW.

Out-creating my own reality with my body. I’ve known what tools to use and BE with, while being in this world, living and walking around on this planet, having people around me, creating my life. And if something was about get locked in, I’ve been able to easily change it.

My body is so light and easy with everything. Food, movement, sex, healing, digestion, creation, facilitating classes, being in crowded spaces with lots of people, at birthday parties where I used to run away from cause it would feel terrible in my body.

I realized my body doesn’t have much of a point of view. It has awareness. It knows. It’s amazing.

And I’m allowing more and more things and people to contribute to it, which is quite a journey and a practice in receiving.

The freedom my body currently has and my allowance of other people has gotten to such a degree that i can be totally aware of it and not lock it into my body anymore, what used to happen all the time. Even if the awarenesses are really intense and make my body ‘hurt’ for a moment. Another 10 seconds…

I hardly judge what I ingest into my body anymore. I sense what to eat and what not to eat. When it’s the last bite of food, is the last bite of food. Even if it’s what other people consider bad food or not the right food.

Most of the time I simply have peace with my body.

OMG! What a gift!

I ask. I receive. “Body, can we have more muscles here please?” or “Body, what would you like to eat?”

And my body let’s me know “computer away NOW, and MOVE” or “that was enough” or “no, don’t sit over here. Sit over there”

Mostly It’s not even cognitive anymore. I’ve stopped thinking about it. Thinking blocks the awareness of our body.

14089474_10153648134225736_2097942508_nOur Body Awareness

Embodiment (expensive word for many, I know 😉 ) CAN be amazing and blissful. I’ve been creating towards it for years now. Probably since birth.

The joy you can have with your body is incredible when you have no or less judgments about it and locked into it.

Everything becomes a contribution. The good, bad, the beautiful and ugly. Everything can Be around you without having – much – of an impact on your body. And you can choose from your awareness.

And I know: this is not an answer or solution. As long as I’m willing to be with my body and be in my body, enjoy it and not judge it, everything follows and creates naturally.

I’ve learned: The moment I start fixing in stead of wonder or ask a question, I create pain. I’ve know it along, and the phenomenal Access tools allowed me to change this and actualize a reality with my body that is way beyond everything I could have ever imagined.

A reality where I can have ease, peace an joy with my body.
To allow my body to have his awareness and not judge it or make it my own and lock it in.
To consider everything as a possibility even if others say it’s not the right thing to do or choose and still be able to choose it if it.

Fuck that.

I’m creating my embodiment. No one else is. And this is MY BODY, no one else’s.

Thank you body. Sweet body.

So grateful for the Access Tools, Access Bars and the Body processes that keep on giving and creating more possibilities. For the choice to keep on choosing.

And for the awarenesses my body gives me.

And so super grateful for Rain Soul. I’ve been taking this pure nutrition from seeds since January and is has made such a remarkable difference in the lightness, ease, health and freedom in my body. Not to mention, beautiful thick curls, super easy digestion and a soft and smooth skin…

So…

How much JOY and GREATNESS is possible with our bodies?

Wonderlands…

Feeling safe and being at home in my own body and life has been one of the greatest gifts that the last year has given me.

‘Being at home’ is not something static.
I made a big demand to myself, for childlike non-judgment wonder and curiosity… Allowance of what is. Living life. Creating it by question and choice… and it some of it never shows up like I think it will…

My body keeps on letting me know how happy it actually is, whatever mood I’m in. It’s been so light and easy and so alive! It wakes me up in the morning, mostly before my alarm goes, ready to go and live…Receiving that and being truly intimate with that, kinda makes my eyes swell up.

13178981_10153440648895736_386648687736760949_nBody doesn’t have that much of a point of view… and it does seem to have this willingness to move, be loved, be strong, cared for, to heal and be happy, to even give it words…

Our own wonderland, starting from the inside, is actually so endless… It goes where you choose to go 

Body, you are so amazing…
Life, you are so beautiful…

Gotta love these wonderlands

❤️💪🏻

BEING HERE

12400730_10153168309545736_9137223070358882862_nAre you enjoying being here right now?

And I’m not saying you have to! 😉
Implying that and saying that all is – and has to be – light, fun, easy breazy everywhere you go and be, would not be acknowledging what IS: life going on on this planet right now.

What if there is no right way to be here? And yet, you are here. So what would you like to choose?

What if… You, as a being, have chosen to be here? You have created a body, through which you are walking and talking on the face of planet earth. You embody.

What I found out for me, and I’ve always know this: it is a choice to enjoy being here, right here, right now, on planet earth, with your body. I did not always have easy access to that choice and still I have to be tenacious to keep on choosing it as the primary energy in my life.

For a lot of peeps it seems to be hard to be here, to be present and live in this judgmental reality, so they rather… Check out. And not be here.

There are different ways to choose, deal and create with the awarenesses you have, those that might make you wanna get out of here every once and a while. If it’s an awareness of your surroundings or society, do you really have to do anything with it? Often times, if you allow it to be there, without having to do anything with it other than allowing it to be, it can make being here a lot easier and more pleasant!
If it’s not yours, are you gonna be able to change or heal it…? Yes? No?

Is it relevant to your life? What is relevant to your life?

And see, that is as simple as a choice too. It’s not wrong. It’s not right. What is that choice creating for you and your embodiment?

As a being you can go all places and spaces. You can check out at any moment. Getting fuzzy, not present or ‘leaving’ your body is super easy! You might have noticed how easy it is and how often people do it 🙂 In conversations, during work, during sex… Is that fun for you and your body?
It’s a capacity actually. Aren’t you capable of a lot of things people would judge as ‘bad’? Like checking out and not enjoying to be here. You’re an infinite being. You can choose that! Interesting point of view! 😉

I used to check out and not be present all the time, especially as a kid… “Merlijn…? are you present…? Come back here…?”

Now, I mostly choose something different than the check out 😉 If i notice myself check out, I mostly do not wanna be with what is, or I’m doing something I don’t wanna be doing. Or I’m simply choosing wonder off… All just interesting choices, changing as I go along.

I choose to live here, be here, embody, experience and have all the joys I can have, together with my body, on planet earth. And I know that requires me to keep on choosing, wondering and to question what I would like my life over here to be like. If there is no right way to be here, what choices can I make that light up my life?

Choosing joy doesnt mean that all the other stuff can’t be there too!
If all of it is allowed to be here too, you can choose to let it rule your life or not.

Whats actually great about being here? What do you already enjoy about your life?
Have you wondered…?

Moving without a point of view

What would it be like, to move your body without a point of view…?

Have you noticed that… sometimes, or often… your body… just wants to move? And play with you?

And how often do you let it? Or how often don’t you let it? Because it would not be appropriate… or correct… or it might look funny and awkward to to others… or it would make them too uncomfortable…?

If you could allow your body to move without a point of view, how much more would you enjoy your life? Your possibilities, and… your magical body…?

MOM compilatie

Miracles…

I woke up again today.
Breathing… Alive. Are you alive and living today?

Five months ago my body nearly died of a huge lung infection and two collapsed lungs. “What?” Yeah. BAM. Just like that.
That was a major wake up call for me to truly Live.

“What the heck is truly living…?”

I’m alive. Living. Kinda sobbing of gratitude as I write this.
There were so many moments I thought my body wasn’t going to make it, and it did make it.
My amazing body made it. Wow…

12074680_10153034996830736_3641993533123682299_nMiracle…?
Are you alive and living…?

Being alive is a miracle… Your body is a miracle. Everything is a miracle.
I choose the second option in Einstein’s quote

I’ve always known it, looked for it, searched it yet so much of what is out there is not choosing the miraculous approach to life.

So… what do You know…?

“What is right and great about me I’m not getting? Whats actually right and great about having a body on planet earth…?”

Have you wondered…? Have you wondered what a walking miracle you and your body are? What miracles present themselves on daily basis?

Please don’t wait to get clear on what you would like your life to be like… Waiting doesn’t serve you nor does it serve your body.
You live now, not in the future, yet every choice you make now, creates your life and future.
You live here, now, with your body.

Start asking:
“Truth, what would I like my life to Be like…? What would I enjoy? What would I truly like to be doing?”

To be quite honest… Its still a question for me too… And thats ok ☺

If you would like to live life as a happy person:
Choose joy, choose happiness.
Choose to weather and receive all storms that present themselves along the way.
Choose to see the beauty and miracles in every situation.
Choose you, as primary priority and source of happiness in your life.

Be the miracle.
Live
