Module 1 · Connection
Lesson 1 · Connect to your Vision
Abraham Lincoln said “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”
We are going to start our journey toward change with Connection. This week you are going to connect to your dreams, to your vision of the person you want to be or to become, the kind of life she is living and the kind of home where she is living this life.

The space was spacious, light, clean, clear, filled with love and joy.
The more I have been reflecting on this, also in relation to my current home one thing strikes me as interesting. “Warmth” is not there in the meditation-ideal.
I get the same feeling, especially right after cleaning in this apartment, especially in the bedroom, which is so close to my achievable-ideal image of that room. It almost feels a little sterile. It feels like there is something to explore here.
It reminds me of a friend’s house as well. I am not quite catching it right now though.
And a big agreement with Sabine on “Not a sense of the load and the pressure that I feel in normal life, no To Do Lists, no loose ends. All that simply didn’t exist in this ideal world.”
The Vision-Meditation was wonderful.
I felt so light, so open and free. There was so much clarity and pureness, just wonderful. Everything was white, clear and clean. There was softness and space for delicate tenderness in the air.
Not a sense of the load and the pressure that I feel in normal life, no To Do Lists, no loose ends. All that simply didn’t exist in this ideal world.
The ideal house didn’t have much to do with my actual house though, but the family, the work and close friends did occure in my ideal life, that seems to be fine 🙂
Now I am longing for this wonderful feeling in my daily life.
How to awaken that? … 🙂
Hi I saw the home we are planning to build, and I felt so proud of our achievement and so very grateful, the home was beautiful and so much more than we ever expected it to be.
And I felt full of energy, very creative and enthousiastic after the meditation!
I also felt gratefull that My actual home suits 60% of my idela home expectation !
(my previous home only 40)
That’s great, Stéphie! You want to bookmark that feeling “energy, very creative and enthousiastic” and reconnect to it frequently, not only, but especially for the upcoming lessons.
Dear ladies, when I started to imagine the ideal day, I started in my actual home, I was figuring out what I wanted in my actual home (still under optimisation since I mve in), and through the meditation, I started to realise that It could be another home, and try to open my mind to creativity. So I dare to imagine a view to the see for instance. But I rethought of it afterwards : it was like during the meditation I wasn’t allowed to imagine something else. So I rethought, “If you really had the choice, where would you live”. and wow, the beautiful house by the see !
And when it comes to my work … well. I was unable to figure out my ideal work, so I went for the natural evolution of my carriere. And it looked OK!
Ditto Petra, it was interesting to see how similar the feelings were, even if some of the physical details were still unclear or felt less important to focus on that the room in ‘soft focus’. Mostly mine was similar the first time I went through it. This time though I may have acquired a dog….? And I wanted to look at the garden that was with my home… too much time in lock down obviously!
As I have been one of the beta-testers, too, I did the meditation of M1L1 for the second time. I did’t have any expectations. Nevertheless I have been surprised that it was nearly identical. Just a new feature in my bathroom was added 😉 Things which were kind of blurry in the first meditation were blurry in the second, too. Well, as I write this now, I feel that I did have at least the hope that the previous blurry parts would be clearer this time. Obviously these parts are not important in my life right now. Good to know!
This morning I did the meditation for the second time, as I had taken part of Rima’s beta-version of CYHCYL. I got to my feelings of the ideal more directly this time and enjoyed it a lot. I specially liked to go to bed first – and wake up for work next morning. Might seem to be a small difference, but for me it was very helpful to get into touch (with me, with the meditation).
This morning was difficult for me, because I realized, how much the noise of the street close to the house, of the environment in general except on Sundays, stresses me. So it is helpful to me, to read about gratitude as a powerful tool, to remember this over and over again.
Nevertheless, today I feel kind of tired of it (the noise).
To go to bed first within the meditation, I mean. As part of the visualization.
Thank you, Rima, for this elegant start:-) I took time to listen to the meditation this afternoon and experience a lot of thankfulness for what is in my life and in my home already. It also became very clear, what aspect of my life needs support. Greetings to everybody,
Annette
Beautiful! And gratitude – apart from being an emotional and spiritual source of well being – is actually a very powerful tool for moving into the direction you desire. To be practiced regularly!
