A Moment of Mortification, a Day of Transformation and My First Insight
Hello dear Reader, I hope you're doing well!
Ever heard about the first time I figured out what it means to be a ‘thinking human’? I’d love to tell you the story (again) today.
But, let's rewind a bit to set the scene …
In 2005, at the age of 30, I served as the lead online concept developer in a Munich-based marketing agency.
My boss, the agency owner, graciously supported my quest to acquire the qualifications for becoming a strategic planner.
So early one morning, I hopped on an ICE train to Frankfurt for a professional development event hosted by the APGD for up-and-coming junior planners.
I recall entering the sleek headquarters of Leo Burnett, a renowned agency, and finding my place at a spacious oval table surrounded by Germany's young creative talents.
Recently, I had seen the woman holding the training on the cover of “brand eins” a prominent German business magazine known for profiling leading companies and their key figures.

A Prayer for Lightness: When Life Has Become Heavy
Lately, when things feel heavy, I don't try to get through it on my own.
I pray and ask for support; I call on the greater Mind.
A Prayer for Lightness
Dear Heavenly Father, Beautiful Spirit Mother, Divine All-Oneness,
The weight of my experience feels too heavy to hold.
Let me wake up from this bad dream, open my eyes, and see the Truth of who I am – simply the dreamer.
Help me notice the place where a lighter feeling is always arising within me.
Take my hand and walk with me a bit as I am coming back to my senses.
Guide me towards appreciation and awe for all that I am.
Direct my focus firmly on what I have rather than what I lack.
Remind me how incredible and capable I am.
Show me how close I am to joy – a single thought away.
As I find contentment in what is and restore my well-being, may a sense of lightness emanate within me, around me, and from me.
Let us watch together as it heals everything.
Amen
I hope this prayer blesses you
Shailia
Körperliche Schmerzen in Kraft verwandeln
Die unerzählte Geschichte deines Körpers ...
| hast du eigentlich eine Vorstellung davon, wie mächtig dein Körper ist? Er kann Gedankenenergie direkt in körperliche Empfindungen verwandeln – wie eine Pflanze Sonnenenergie durch Photosynthese in chemische Energie umwandelt. Erlaub mir, dir ein Beispiel zu geben … Gestern früh, während ich mit den Hunden spazieren ging, wurde mein Wesen von unsicheren Gedanken überflutet. Die Reaktion meines Körpers ließ nicht lange auf sich warten: Meine Stirn spannte sich an und begann zu schmerzen, meine Ohren wurden heiß und fingen an zu klingeln. Ich konnte diese wilden Gedanken nicht aufhalten – sie gewannen an Fahrt, und je stärker sie wurden, desto intensiver reagierte mein Körper. Schließlich saß ich in meinem Auto und steuerte die Tankstelle an, um eine Packung Zigaretten zu kaufen. Ich rauche kaum, aber manchmal, wenn ich gestresst... |
Transform Pain into Power: Your Body's Untold Story
Do you realize how amazing your body is?
It translates the energy of Thought into physical sensations – even into pain!
Allow me to give you an example, …
During yesterday's early morning dog walk, I found myself consumed by insecure thoughts, fearing that someone I love was about to abandon me.
My body responded immediately ...
My forehead tightened and began to ache, and my ears grew hot and started ringing.
I couldn't stop the thoughts from gaining momentum, and the more they grew, the stronger my body reacted.
Eventually, I found myself in my car, heading to the gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes.
I hardly smoke, but occasionally, when I feel stressed, I puff a few to help myself relax … and this was one of those times!
The ordeal lasted just a few hours (although it felt like forever), before finally coming to an end.
These days I am awake to the energy of Thought and can generally let it flow and let it go, without taking it too seriously.
But...
The Essence of Connection: A Love Story
Yesterday, Sandra Heim and I were getting ready for a webinar we’re holding next week in German on the topic "The Miracle of Connection".
While preparing and considering what we wanted the webinar participants to explore and experience, we found ourselves immersed in a deeper feeling.
The feeling began to emerge as Sandra discussed two distinct levels of awareness in personal relationships.
The first was the "fact-based" level. On this level, we focus on what’s been said and done, or what’s not been said and done, and how it’s right or wrong.
On this level of awareness, we invest our emotional energy, emphasizing specific actions and events and 'building a case'.

"You already know the answer." As a trained professional coach, that statement used to set off Shailia’s BS alarm big time. Left and right, all she could see were clients who didn’t have their own answers at all. Why would they come to her if they did?!? Today, she’ll agree with that statement all day long. Find out what changed.

Die Antworten auf die Fragen deines Herzens
„Du kennst die Antwort bereits.“ Als professioneller Coach löste diese Aussage bei Shailia immer einen Bullshit-Alarm aus. Links und rechts sah sie nur Klienten, die ihre eigenen Antworten überhaupt nicht kannten. Warum sollten sie auch zu ihr kommen, wenn sie diese hätten? Heute...
The Point of Learning the 3 Principles
The 3 Principles aren’t the next HOT toolset is personal development. They’re not daily steps to take to manifest a bigger bank account. They’re certainly not another thing to add to your list of things to sit around thinking about. So why look into them? Join Shailia in her backyard for a little talk about the point of the 3 Principles.

Der Sinn des Erlernens der „3 Prinzipien“
Die „3 Prinzipien“ sind nicht das nächste, heiße Toolset aus dem Bereich der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung. Sie sind keine täglichen Schritte, die man unternehmen kann, um ein größeres Bankkonto zu manifestieren. Sie sind sicherlich nicht eine weitere...
The Simplicity of the 3 Principles
When life seems difficult, complicated, or complex, that’s a clear sign you’re looking in the wrong direction. Here’s where we suggest you look instead: in the direction of a very simple, and yet profound understanding called "The 3 Principles". Join Shailia for a casual chat about the best (and simplest!) thing she ever learned.

Die Einfachheit der „3 Prinzipien“
Wenn das Leben schwierig, kompliziert oder komplex erscheint, ist das ein klares Zeichen dafür, dass du in die falsche Richtung schaust. Wir schlagen vor, dass du stattdessen in die Richtung eines sehr einfachen und doch tiefgreifenden Verständnisses blickst: die „3 Prinzipien“....
