In my heart deep joy is rising. I will try to express my appreciation for the splendor I started to see this morning. Today, while waking up, I see: nature is covered in pure white light, and the sun is shining on the first snow. All is beauty around today after a long dark night. I will go outside, trying to take it all in while walking in this white stillness. Crystal clear stars of utter beauty, which silently fell from the sky; a gift given by you, creator of all, to all of us. Your transcending light is shining through these beautiful stars, through everything, transforming everything into timeless beauty. Nameless of all names, heart beyond time and space, glory to you! Let me bow deeply to your light. Here I am, unconditionally, for your service.

Giving with an open heart, in which currency ever; money, goods, forgiveness, understanding, care… but the most generous gift to be given I feel is unconditional love.
As I know I have difficulty to open up to express love and let it flow, may be I should have a look for aspects where avarice or greed are still hidden and unresolved emotions? Usually, I freely give whatever is needed and would consider myself to be rather generous than stingy. But there must be something hindering the flow in the most important part. This question inspires me to assess anew. Thanks again, Gratefulness-team for the question. I will ponder on this.

Yesterday, I saw a newborn being lovingly held in the arms of its mother. The eyes of the child were silently looking at its mother in stillness and awe, conveying its pure love, while the mother held her child with even inner stillness and looked at it with deep love. The special was somehow that mother and child were deeply connected, but there was freedom as well between them, which made it so special, the intense bonding, while freedom was there as well. The child looked at its mother as if saying: my love, you are my mother, how blessed am I, thank you that it is you being with me and sharing and accompanying the journey of my life.
Many people stood around, but it was a moment full of wonder, where I was allowed to be witnessing this moment. It touched me deeply, and a smile of happiness arose on my face all day. May your life be blessed, dear mother and dear newborn soul. Thank you dearly.
It had a deep impact on me and taught me. Have I ever loved the way I saw yesterday? I can feel love deeply, but do I express it? Or do I wait to be loved first? The moment taught me that to be open to love is possible any moment. It is me who has to open up to it from inside. I have to do it. Nothing is more important now. It is essential for my life. Lord, please help me finding the door to open up. Thank you for this question, dear Gratefulness-team.

Whenever I had the joy to sit in stillness near the fireplace together with my chosen mother. She now is 85 years of age. What is essential to feel home? I would like to describe it with her words. A while ago she said, that to be in contact with what is essential, it wouldn´t need religion and it wouldn´t need a teacher. To her, to be in contact with the essential requires to submit oneself to the light in stillness, the light which is in every cell and everything, which is. It would be an inner process, and it would be the gift of age and of life in stillness which allows to turn fully to the essential. And that she would feel gifted and deeply grateful for having this possibility now. I was so touched by her words, while her face was shimmering like silver moonlight. I feel deeply grateful to have had the gift of sharing these moments with her.

Sharing with others what I am gifted with in every sense, helping my patients as good as possible, contributing to the well being of others and taking loving care, trying to be present with every conscious breath. You; my beloved sister and my family, of course, and my dear friends and colleagues.; my teachers; nature, of course; arts, Hoelderlin, Rilke and Rumi unlimited. Francine, your poems matter a lot to me. And Manda and Diane and Aine and Kevin and Ursula and all who share here. Expanding the heart to enclose everyone and everything. Have a seat in me, world! Bowing deeply, welcoming the sun and the moon, celebrating together with each and everyone to be one with all in peace, love and beauty is my wish for the world. This really matters to me.

I feel deep love for all living beings. This love and compassion always was there, despite reactions like fear of people or unresolved anger in me, which still can catch me occasionally. This in fact in a way brought the constant feeling of love even more to my consciousness; the light, which is in the center of all darkness.
Deep joy and happiness is there in abundance as well, although sometimes, sadness can overwhelm me heavily. Humbleness and devotion; although recently, I found myself reacting with false pride and aggression as a compensation for unresolved wounded love. Kindness in abundance as well, although recently, I found myself, even if rarely, reacting rather tough. I love to share love, joy and happiness, my strength, talents, in fact all which is constructive, which belongs to me as a given gift and which I can offer, humbly contributing all I can so that others may feel loved, nourished, happy and unfold freely in the best way possible.

So many, countless good souls who were enthusiastic about the fundamental possibilities of cure with the method of homeopathy and the homeopathic remedies. Starting with Samuel Hahnemann himself more than 200 years ago, but as well countless colleagues after him who developed this method further. Remedies were prepared by devoted pharmacists and colleagues who proved unknown substances concerning their spectrum of cure. And all the patients worldwide who decided to be treated with this method and through this, ” … so that our indwelling, reason-gifted mind can freely employ this living, healthy instrument for the higher purpose of our existence.” (Aphorism No. 9, Organon) Health of this quality is aimed by all of these participants of this encounter with homeopathy. I am deeply grateful for all of them who ever have decided for this freedom and cure in unconditional devotion.

But equally deeply grateful I am for all the countless therapists who aimed to do their best with other methods they passionately learned and appreciated from their heart since centuries, for the well being of their patients. Where the heart rules and science, knowledge and capability are developed according to this inner guidance.

In fact, I feel we are interconnected and interdependent through time and space without limitation at all.

A hint is world for the day, which gives already a beautiful suggestion. By becoming aware of the beauty that exists in everyone and everything equally, in in the broken as in the glorious, the door to love all that exists opens. I open my heart to the pain, my own and the one of all sentient beings. I open my heart to the love that exists in all around. I open my heart for you. To allow to be open to whatever life brings and to respond from my heart to whatever life brings. Then I guess, love can expand and include all, which the heart meets. And I can exercise this through meditation, but as well any moment while I breathe in, and out. I can change a restricting attitude while becoming aware of the free space, which allows me to change if I go for it.

I feel the right kind of help has been present recently in my struggle with false pride and the “I”, who wanted things different, and I bow my head in gratefulness to have had the offer to become aware of the difference.

Help often was present when I needed it. Only to see it like this or to be able to respond to the offer in a constructive way was not always possible. It required to first understand what was wrong in my perception/ behavior and to say “yes” to change it. Learning that to trust life, to trust and to say “yes”, that whatever is present in our lives is the right kind of help helps to evolve whatever life wants us to evolve, teach or do. And this often is through good friends and/or life itself. Thank you so much, dear friends, and thank you deeply, life.

In giving freely and from my heart whatever it is that may serve the other and which I may be able to offer. As Ed said so true, first of all giving my deep thanks to everyone who joins this life`s path with so much kindness and helping wherever possible and sharing the light that is alive in all. It has helped me to come out of deep darkness and I am so deeply grateful for all of you who teach me such a lot, and especially the one teacher to whom I bow deeply.

No restrictions, no holding back in giving freely and with love. Of all I may be able to offer, time, strength, talents to share for the better, joy, money, but most of all by giving all my heart.

The voice inside that always calls me back to the divine “yes” whenever I fail or fall, especially for the voice that always calls me back to belonging. I am deeply grateful for this.
It may sound profane,, but as a therapist in the field of alternative medicine, I am deeply grateful for the voice inside that gives me signals when to change over to conventional medicine. Especially during winter time, when sudden cold weathers and snow may induce pneumonia, which still is a life threatening illness, I am so very grateful to have the opportunity to hear this call and use antibiotics when indicated.
