The distance healing meditation was again nice and I enjoyed being in touch with so many beautiful souls.
A 17-year-old girl came with a typical teenager problem today: She doesn’t understand her parents and her parents don’t understand her. And then she said she had another problem, she said she was too emotional, she cries very often. I told her what I think of this: It is wonderful to be an emotional person. I am emotional, too. It would be horrible not to be, that would mean to have a stone instead of a heart. Being cool might be popular in this artificial world but it is not at all good.
What is the definition of emotion? E stands for energy, so it is energy in motion. Emotion is also energy and if you have an emotion, I always say this, express it. And if tears come naturally, just let them flow. There is nothing wrong in that and nothing to be ashamed of. In the beginning, when we were talking, the girl cried a lot but during the healing session she was laughing. Let the emotions come and express them. Be natural!
It was the last day in Lithuania and we had a great dinner that Greg had prepared for us. Tomorrow we will fly back to Germany.

It is definitely very healthy and natural to feel emotions. We should appreciate them and learn from them. Though I do remember the highly emotional phase of being a teenager (a few years ago!). It's a really difficult time because you are changing rapidly, trying to discover your inner truth and purpose, your hormones are high, and you're surrounded by other kids on the same rollercoaster of emotion! It can be really challenging and certainly brings up lots of emotions. But it was very smart to tell the girl that she should feel and express her emotions...that's how you get through it! I'd just like to send out love and compassion from my heart to the confused hearts of all the teenagers out there... it's a rough patch, but you'll make it out of there an amazing person!

Being emotional is great once you give yourself permission to feel. Often I too feel that I am too emotional, for some reason I feel that emotions mean i am doing something wrong and that I'm the only one who has them but this is not true. They are what help me enjoy life and love others!

Karma and God cannot work together! If you give God the responsibility for good things, how can you blame Karma for the bad ones? Would God not be responsible for good and bad as well as for all your Karma?
SourceIf you want to follow a Guru, a master, a sect leader or any kind of belief, don’t have your children affected, too! Give your children the possibility to decide themselves. Show them the normal world, let them develop properly with the full capacity of their mind to be critical, to think about everything themselves and with full emotional abilities, too! Give your child the freedom and the possibility of a healthy, normal lifestyle.
SourceIt is impossible to be ‘religious but not superstitious’ because religious scriptures are full of superstition. You cannot separate superstition from religion, its origin. It as a positive sign though, if you think this much - you have taken the first step!
SourcePlease do what you enjoy. Enjoy your life! It is too short not to enjoy it. And you can have the trust that even if you do not know what it will be good for in your future, if you stop worrying you will see that there will be the right thing at the right time for you.
SourceYou cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.
SourceTeach your children that there is nothing wrong if you get wrinkles when you get older and that grey hair doesn’t take any of your beauty. Teach them to love themselves. Help them feel good in their body just as it is.

SourceNot rarely you can see that yoga or meditation gurus mix two common practices and call it their own, put a patent on it and then sell it.
SourceIt is your own decision how you want to spend your life. You can live a true and honest life. Take your decision and have the courage!
SourceEarning money is an art. Saving money is a bigger art. Spending money is the biggest art. You cannot enjoy money until you spend it. Let this energy move.
SourceDon’t only talk to those who want to make you believe in their religion, talk to those who consciously decided not to believe. Make an experiment and see religion through the eyes of someone who has refused it.
SourceAtheists have done something that is not very different from what Buddha has done – they formed just another group with a different belief, the belief that there is no god.
SourceIf you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.
SourceReligion is entertainment for the rich and not necessary for the poor. You have to do ceremonies, go to the temple, give donations, that all costs money. Poor people think of food, only well-off people think of religion.
SourceThe Catholic Church does not want to give the healing benefit of their saints to people of other faith! They want to get as many followers themselves, so if you are sick, you will only be healed by a Catholic Saint if you are Catholic!
SourceSharing Happiness is more important than sharing Sadness.
SourceDon’t worry what others think to find out what you feel for yourself.
SourceEven if your thoughts do not match, you can still be friends. Even if you disagree in a hundred of points, you can be friends. You need to agree at least on this one point though: you trust each other and have love for each other.
SourceIf children have respect for their parents, it keeps them from doing very big mistakes which they could then not confess to their parents. Due to their respect they stop before.
SourceHope is always good and it is part of having a positive attitude. Believing that the impossible will happen is either closing the eyes in front of reality or just stupid.
