One week and a life change

Image
  Oh what a week I had! The President of Finland was visiting Seattle last week and I got to help as a volunteer in one of the events. I never even imagined being in a situation like that but there I was. And the best part was that I got to do it with a very close friend of mine, along with other wonderful Finnish ladies.  Our job was to welcome everyone who walked in and make sure they were invited. That was a fun task - I got to meet a lot of people and have this short and friendly interaction. The most noteworthy person I actually met in the event (I didn't dare to try and talk to the President) was a Finnish hockey player that currently plays in the Seattle Kraken. It was lovely to get to know him a bit, and his lovely wife. Finnish ladies serving at an event for the President of Finland. March 2023, National Nordic Museum, Seattle. This all happened on Monday evening - and the excitement started many days before.  The excitement was at least doubled because I knew wh...

My favorite activity within ESP

Image
Today I want to share a bit about an activity I did during the Energy Synchronization Process. To get in touch of my energy system that is mostly unconscious, Christian A. Schwarz used a very interesting method. I referred to this activity in my previous post about pleasure. The activity started with looking at a stack of pictures in a relaxed state of mind. This is because the energy system’s main way of functioning is through pictures whereas the cognitive system works through words. Christian took me through over 70 photos and my task was to choose the ones that were pleasing to me. I was able to find about 10 pictures that gave me strong positive vibes. After the session, my homework was to narrow down the selection of pictures. The criteria I was instructed to use was that the photo needs to evoke very STRONG positive feelings in me, and ONLY positive. If any picture would bring even 10% negative feelings, I’d need to discard that one. This was such an exhilarating task because I ...

Be present and pray - be still and know

Instead of going back to my initial ESP training, this post deals with these current happenings in my life and how they relate to the energy synchronization process. Wind is blowing What a whirlwind it’s been for the past couple of weeks! I have had the opportunity to exchange thoughts on spirituality and God's energy with some of my friends who come from very versatile backgrounds, and sign up to become an NCD coach. At the same time, I have been praying for my parents because my father has been dealing with some severe health issues. These experiences have been so overwhelming that I need to process them with this method I have chosen to process my learning and growth - by blogging about it. Here we go! Be present and pray - be still and know Understanding God’s energy as the unique prompting and empowerment in me by God was the goal of the Energy Synchronization process training. (Apostle Paul talks about this energization in Ephesians 3:7 and Colossians 1:29.) Each of us have a...

Basics on God's energy

Image
My dear beloved hubby let me know that my previous post sounded very New-Agy and funny. That is most certainly okay and a valid point of view, since energy in the context of Christian faith is mostly unknown. That is why I decided to post the basics from the 'God's Energy Vol.1" (Christian A. Schwarz, 2021) for all of those readers who might be interested in the Biblical basis of the Energy Synchronization process. I'm happy to discuss further with those who are interested in this approach. Reading the above-mentioned book about these convinced me about the validity of the energy approach. This is because I see the Scripture as the top authority for understanding God and no church tradition can override its importance. I also trusted to learn about this in practice with Christian A. Schwarz because he has studied the topic of natural church development - that is, God's principles for healthy growth - for decades. He has an immense amount of Biblical knowledge, pra...

What brings me pleasure?

Image
B ackground info *I attended the Energy Synchorization Process training with Christian A. Schwarz from October 2022 to January 2023. I decided to do the training once I had read Schwarz’s book “God’s Energy Vol.1” The training was carried out online through seven virtual one-on-one sessions in coaching style. Christian attended from a little town in Northern Germany, and I from Duvall, WA. The purpose of the training was to synchronize my cognitive system with my energy system. The cognitive system speaks primarily through words and conscious mind whereas the energy system speaks in picture, through the unconscious. God’s energy is what makes me want to do and enjoy things, and He communicates these things primarily through my energy system. That is why it is important to align my conscious aspirations with my inner tendencies – according to God’s design.* Today's topic: Pleasure What brings me pleasure? That is a question that, in the past, I have NOT asked myself too many times, ...

New home, new year, new motto goal

After sojourning in Germany, Finland, and the US for over 10 years, we have finally found a place to feel at home in. Last year God granted us the opportunity to buy our own house, and we moved to Duvall in March. Our family is very grateful to be able to put roots into this little Washingtonian town that is urban and rural at the same time. Last year was the 5th year of me volunteering in our church for various leadership and administrational roles. I decided it is time to give space to others and also for me to take a break from all the official service roles in the church boards. I'm continuing with the projects and ministries that I'm the most passionate about but will not be obliged to attend monthly meetings or do the admin work associated to them. In addition to that, another big change in my schedule is the fact that I don't go to the gym anymore. For the time we've lived in the US, my schedule was more or less defined by my gym visits - first with Kaisa being b...
