Chances to change

Hello from team Space without Borders – Eddie, Veerle and Elaine

Dear amazing C2C companion players,

Firstly, we’d like to introduce ourselves. You’ve not heard much, if anything, from us and the job that we have chosen within the C2C community which is to tend to our collective bigger field and to keep a bird’s eye view of how we are as a “we” – a sort of wellness check for our group field.

We generally meet once a month on Zoom and had our last meeting a week or so ago where were guided to share with you our feelings and insights as we connected with the bigger beingness of C2C.

Immediately on expanding to connect with our bigger selves, there was a strong immediate communing of the three of us with the Being of the Game as we were whooshed up to some higher level. Here in this beautiful space, we were joyfully received by the magnificence of this “we” field that we often call the Being of the Game. It was as if we were welcomed and loved by old friends.

We all experienced having an overview of the whole community, as if looking down at small villages dotted around the landscape. Although very clearly all three of us were in the same field, we each had slightly different experiences. One was around the ebb and flow of people coming into and out of the community, and then back into the community again. This led to a curiosity around power – our collective power together with the Being of the Game — a curiosity about power in general and power within the C2C community. As in any community, some are comfortable with power, some not and there was an awareness of fears and misunderstandings around power. In that moment, as we were part of this huge field of power, it was clear that the more we increase and expand the energy of our power, the more fear etc falls away. It is no longer sustainable to stay in a state of fear and misunderstanding about power.

What is your relationship with power?

We’re living in a time where we are called to step more and more into our true power in order to affect the changes needed for our evolutionary shift.

To help us understand her nature more, the energy of Power wants to share

some of her different facets and faces

  • The force of nature – and she is not always polite.
  • A divine force where oneness and unity fold into each other.
  • An explosive force as two polarities meet. In the explosion of their meeting, something new is created.
  • Power as a force is also welcoming and gentle.
  • Different expressions of true power need to be used at different times or in different situations, and sometimes that is just simply and powerfully being able to relax in the Divine.
  • Power comes from connection with the heart – so we can let go of the head. Heart is its own biggest expression.
  • Power doesn’t always feel the same – which can be confusing as we might expect that once we truly dive into our power it will always looks the same. Regardless of its many expressions, we carry this energy in us and around us always.

With love from Elaine

Honouring your truth – 3 awesome insights!

What an incredible journey: exploring the truth of who and what you are and how you serve in this collective field filled with truths.

Just recently my family-in-law were visiting for the first time since the world changed through our encounter with this tiny virus. All my visitors decided to follow the guidelines from the government for whatever personal reasons. However, I have chosen a different path in my relationship with the corona virus.   

This brought me to a big reflection on how this family situation triggers me. How can I speak my truth from my greater self and at the same time welcome them all wholeheartedly?

Coincidentally we, Elaine and I, received guidance through a video created by Lorie Ladd giving us the seeds and the clarity to create two articles around honouring and speaking your truth which helped enormously.

In this first article we share three awesome insights which can be a guide to honouring your truth. Each of these insights has their own unique space on the C2C board game.

  • Programming is a fact
  • Feel what is true for you
  • It’s about you and your truth

Programming is a fact!

The first insight is about our programming – yours, mine and everyone’s.

Through being human, we are all continuously programmed through our society and the collective field. Waking up is literally moving out of this programming and connecting to what is true for you – connecting to the truth of who and what you are and how you serve. We begin to understand how we can be awake in certain areas of our life and still be deeply asleep in other areas. We can move out of our programming in certain areas and still be deeply entrenched in other areas. Programming feels very familiar and is, at its root, often based on fear. If we don’t follow the rules, the prescriptions, the agreements, we will be punished, we won’t belong, we will be killed, humiliated, abandoned. We give our power away to experts and we allow our thinking, being and doing to be contained in a box. We lose connection with our inner knowing.

Continuing my story. All of us, me and my family-in-law, all have our individual ways in which we buy into programming and where we have stepped out of programming. Each of us might actually have some insights to offer with regard to moving in and out of programming. I understand more and more how truly listening to each other is so important especially when the other thinks and chooses differently from us.

 

Feel what is true for you!

There is often confusion between how we feel and what we feel. Many people believe it to be the same thing. And it’s not!

How you feel is strongly related to your thoughts and to all the stories you have collected about who and what you are and how you serve. It is not the truth of who and what you are and how you serve!

Your body on the other hand informs you about what you feel. Your body has an amazing wisdom and is your unique guide in finding out what your truth is.

This second insight is therefore an invitation to feel what is true for you. What sensations or images do you perceive? Where are you drawn to in your body? How does your body want to move?

Coming back to my family story. I realized that what I feel helps me to connect much deeper into what is really true for me. I experienced in my body the joy of the connection between everything and everyone, whether that is my family-in-law or the corona virus. For me, this is the essence of my learning. 

 

It’s about you and your truth!

The third insight is not to make it about the other. It is your unique journey to find what is true for you and, even more, to hold this truth with grace and ease. It’s so habitual to make it about the other and look outwards for confirmation. Each of us has our own unique truth to be with in the moment. When we make it about the other, we risk being entangled in the drama triangle. For example, depending on your personality, you may automatically try to save the other, putting them in the position of victim. There is no saviour without a victim.

You could also automatically move into the role of perpetrator or victim, again depending on your personality. Once you have entered the drama triangle you start to move within the triangle and you shift roles all of the time. The invitation is to make it about you and not about the other, to stay out of the drama triangle!

For a long time I experienced the need to save my loved ones from the possible harm they could receive through the vaccine. I wanted to save them and protect them. This third insight helps me to understand that it is about me and my journey towards knowing the truth of who and what I am and how I serve. This will lead me into new, as yet unknown, territory that is at the same time exciting and a bit scary.

 

Weaving these three insights on the board

The first thing to remember is that the three insights build upon each other. You gain momentum for your journey with truth in the silence of the purple area. Here you connect with all possibilities and the potential of the void.

As you continue this journey, you turn the camera towards yourself and move into the green area.  Here you honour your truth.

Next is to become aware of the powerful programming which is present everywhere and affects everybody. This is the beginning of the realisation that there might be a difference between your programming and what is true for you. The field of the game supports you in stepping out of the programming.

The second step is to feel what is true for you and allow your body to be your exquisite guide in this discovery. You move from “processing” into the “how can I” phase of the green area and invite in the wisdom of your body. This is accomplished by listening to the intelligent design of your body and by becoming aware of “what” you feel.

The third step is to make it about you and your truth, to own your journey with truth. You continue to turn the camera towards your own personality and away from the other. You now arrive in the phase of “letting go”; letting go of projecting your needs, wants, desires and expectations on the other.

You arrive back into the purple into the phase of inspiration and the empty space between death and rebirth. Letting go of familiar patterns and beliefs; letting go of conditioning and programming can feel a bit like dying.

 

Conclusion

These explorations around finding and honouring your truth are extraordinary and not always easy. It takes a great deal of courage and compassion for the self.

Truth is a continuum. Some truths are big and universal. We are all connected is one of them. Most truths change and evolve over time depending on where you are on your unique journey. A wise teacher once said: “This is what I know now, it might change tomorrow or next week or not.”

It is a huge exploration, allowing your truth to melt with other truths, allowing more truths to become visible to you as you travel towards the greater truths.

We practice these journeys to find our truth in our ChancesToChange board game. The game brings many questions to us to help clarify our programming. You can play one-on-one with a facilitator. We have several amazing facilitators. If you would like to explore with one of them leave us a message below.

Our next article is about how to share your truth.

The Power of Connection through the Wisdom of our Bodies

What if we’re completely wrong when we assume our immune system has to defend us? Maybe it is an organ of discernment and recognition. 

 

The image above shows us one of the cards from the ChancesToChange board game. When you draw this card, you are invited as a participant to first share what speaks to you or inspires you in the painting. You then read the text and reflect on the question – how it feels to be together and how it feels to be alone.

Today we are using this card as a metaphor for the way our body, and more specifically our immune system, interacts with the outside world. In fact, there is scientific research that shows the importance of micro-organisms in the evolution of all ecosystems, and therefore also in the evolution of humans. This is our topic for the day and we would love to start a conversation about our immune system.

These pioneering studies raise new questions:

What if we have been wrong for so long?

What if our immune system does not serve to defend us against everything foreign to our bodies. Is it rather a way for us to connect with other parts within the larger ecosystem of the earth and all life on it?

Just looking at the painting, it appears to be a representation of how the cells of our immune system interact with other cells. There is a specific interaction in the middle where information is exchanged and DNA is affected. This is also what these pioneering studies show, that ecosystems evolve by exchanging information.

If this is the case, the text on the card is completely accurate. Our immune system acts with recognition and discernment. Relationships with micro-organisms also appear to be an essential ingredient in the development of who and what I am and who and what I become.

Re-reading the text on the card, you might experience a deep respect for the inherent wisdom of your body, remembering that your body loves you unconditionally. If you are willing to really listen to your body, then a deep connection occurs naturally and you know that everything is connected to everything else, and through that connection a capacity for deep healing becomes available.

It is so fascinating to allow this wisdom of our body to infect our personality. What if we do not have to defend ourselves against people who think differently to us? What if we can choose not to go into polarity? We will then continue to feel the power of connection and create new possibilities together. We know that in essence we actually want the same thing, we simply choose different paths.

In acknowledging your self and the other, you become aware of what it takes to express the truth of who and what you are through relationships. You recognise a deep knowing within you that everything and everyone comes from the same source, regardless of how you define that source – separation is no longer an option!

with love and care,

How can we make Conscious Choices?

There is an ongoing, never-ending weaving happening between our true self and all the aspects of our human self. This kaleidoscope creates our reality.

It is often so hard for us to make a conscious choice. What does that mean to make a conscious choice?

For those of you who have played the C2C game, you will already be familiar with the steps that take us through the game, and for those of you who have yet to play, we felt that including all the steps would perhaps be too much information and detract from the unfolding story.  When you have the opportunity to play with one of our facilitators, the rhythm of the game will become clearer.

This is the story of a woman – let’s call her Anna – who has trouble choosing whether to move to a new house with her partner or to stay where she has been living and loves to live.

She’s all too aware of these opposing sides within herself:  one side absolutely doesn’t want to move and is afraid of losing her ground if she does. She experiences the new house as too open, unable to protect her.  Anna feels she will be disconnected from her family and friends if she lives there as she sees herself as someone who doesn’t easily create new relationships. On the other side is a part of her that looks forward to having a new adventure and exploring a new environment – this part loves to have new experiences and is excited about life.

To help her understand these opposite sides of herself, Anna agreed to play the ChancesToChange board game.

Two aspects, two blue cards

Anna’s first insight into her reserved side was through the painting on the card of ‘being’. It spoke to her of being ungrounded and yet feeling completely safe and at home. Something very precious was being held in her hands.

On reading the card, Anna was struck by the realisation that what she, Anna, is protecting is her true self – “it’s precious and I care for it” she said. As she sat with this awareness and the question offered by the card, she also realised :  “I want to be seen and I don’t want to be seen – I have both sides.”

In her next card – the card of ‘relationships’ – representing her adventurous aspect, Anna had the impression of an outwards expanding form and an inwards contracting form, holding a tender place in the middle.

Reading the card, what touched her most was the importance in relationships to first care for her own self and from that place move out into relationship.

We imagine that many of you can relate to Anna’s dilemma.  Let’s take a moment to sit with what is unfolding here.

The magic of listening to our human self

Our human self is made up of aspects which are constantly changing through experiencing. In our story, Anna presented two aspects of her human self. They received a place on the board in all their beauty and complexity. They were seen and acknowledged.

Only through completely accepting the two aspects were they able to reveal themselves and be willing to listen to, and receive, the true self. Our true self is the totality of who we are and who we become and is in constant connection with source. Her true self speaks to Anna through the cards of Being and Relationships.

The first exchange happened through the paintings. Already magic was happening: Anna realised that she can be present and at the same time be ungrounded and how important it is to her to protect her true self as something precious almost new born.

At the beginning both aspects seemed opposite in their expression, even the blue cards chosen were on opposite positions on the board: one in the green where you move into relationship with yourself and the other in the orange where you move into relationship with others.

The texts on the blue cards already allow both aspects to connect and appear less oppositional – a mingling happens almost effortlessly. Both cards talk about choices and both cards talk about the true self. The first card brings in the responsibility for the choices you make and the second card points out how important it is to make choices independent of the choices of the other. Remember how our story started with the difficulties of Anna to make a choice. The first card defines being as our capacity to own and honour our true self. The second card explains how in relationship we express our true self. In our story, Anna protects her true self as something very precious.

What further unfolds

Anna’s next insights came from diving more deeply into more of her self through the game which invited her to form a ‘how can I” question. She asked:  “How can I tend to my true self and allow the flow of my life to happen?” This provoked an aha moment and she exclaimed: “When I bring my energy into my relationships, I am pioneering.”

These insights further anchored both aspects of her human self into their own essence and beauty. They are both seen and embraced which gives them the strength to allow. The action of allowing might be the key for our human self to engage with our true self.

It becomes clearer how we are playing with an ongoing exchange between the human self and the true self as pictured in the triad. We might also consider the possibility that the ‘I am’ actually is our player.

She was invited by the game to deeply connect with the intelligent design of the body. What opened to her was: “I am willing to share my true self in relationships with others and I also need my own relationship with my true self.”

As the game continued, Anna listened to her inner being, to source within. She heard: “My only support is being here now. No more planning, only following the flow.”  The game offered her the statement: “In the silence I intuitively understand the overarching direction of my life”.

It is fascinating to observe how the board game invites the facilitator and the player both to listen, even to listen to the different aspects of the human self and to the true self.

Her body’s wisdom brings an extra flavour to our meeting with both aspects of her human self and her difficulties in making a choice. We begin to see how both aspects are facets of the true self – they don’t have separate true selves as they’re both facets of the same true self, a true self that resides in the middle of our game, the area of silence. 

We have a clearer picture here of the weaving that has happened in the silence to ground everything that has unfolded so far with our connection to source. Through the connection with her true self she becomes more aware of the direction of her life as it weaves the beautiful tapestry of all of who she is, including the different aspects of her human self. Nothing is discarded, everything is valuable – all beautiful facets of who she is.

Conclusion

Let’s go back to where we started this article with the question:  How do we make choices?

The triad of the aspects of our human self, the facets of our true self and the ‘I am’ ( that is the player) make up our inner tapestry.  Our human self is the part of us that takes care of what we need and want and uses thinking to accomplish these tasks. Our true self knows and trusts that our needs, wants and desires will be met. The ‘I am’ is the director, the result of the interplay between the human self and the true self, closely related to our soul and our intention. Every human being is represented through this triad and is a work in progress.

Our article starts with presenting different aspects of a human self (that is Anna’s story and dilemma). These aspects are seemingly contradictory and make contradictory choices. It is clear that the ‘who’ within ourselves making the choice is important.

Our choices will determine what we experience and the choices made through any aspect of our human self mostly bring us back to our history. We learn through recycling our childhood stories. Bringing awareness to how we choose is the definition of a conscious choice. Awareness allows us to see how our choices colour our experiences and how we can have new experiences when we make different choices which are more in kin with our multifaceted true self.

The ChancesToChange board game assists us in bringing awareness to the amazing complexity of our human self and all its aspects. Most of all, it invites us to embrace our human self on this amazing journey that is called embodied realisation where we include all of us – our human self, our true self, our ‘I am’ and our soul.

Through playing with the ChancesToChange board game we listen with an open heart. We welcome all that is with loving kindness and complete acceptance. We learn to be deeply patient and to allow.

The magic of one meeting with the ChancesToChange board game

How the actual vibrational state of a player is affected in a subtle way through imagination inspired by paintings and the sound of carefully chosen words.


We already know that magic happens as you play the board game – it functions as a ritual, assisting you to pass through specific aspects of your life. And we’ve been wondering what the mystery is that unfolds?

In this article we will follow two women who both played with the game; they played with a different version of the game on two consecutive days. The first woman played with the version for organisations and the second woman played with the full vibrational version. What happened in common to both is that they had the same blue card.

Let’s start by bringing them both in with the question “what’s here now”. They were then invited to blindly choose a blue card from the deck and share their reflections on the painting. When complete, we invited them to read the text of their blue card out loud followed by any reflections. Their turn was completed as always by asking them to check the matrix.

Let’s get started!

What’s here now

Our first player is dedicated and highly skilled. She loves the organisation she belongs to and at the same time feels she loses so much time in preparing and learning new skills that she doesn’t get to the things that really matter to her. The Coronavirus crisis at this moment offers enormous freedom to her and her colleagues; they need to reinvent how they do their jobs and set their own boundaries. Everything is available in this enormous library of life and which book is the one you need? She doesn’t perceive herself as a leader – she is a part of the greater whole and that requires a great deal of compromising with many needs and expectations.

What she brings to the game today is: “I lose my own voice in service of the ‘we’!”

The second player also connects to what’s here now for her. It is her experience at this moment that she still hesitates to stand in the light.

What she brings to the game is: “What is my fear to be in the light?”

Reflections on the painting

Both women blindly choose a blue card from the deck. They both receive card number 10.

The first woman comments on the painting of the card are: “I want to bring in my own colours which I can see at the right side of the painting, and there are strong algae like structures that are invading me. My own colours disappear.”

The second woman has a different perception: “I perceive cheerful colours, joy and fire. I discern three parts in the card which are inspiring each other; here and there I see how they gently touch each other. I see waves on the left side and there is white in it which I perceive as light. I feel mostly attracted to the blue in the middle which reminds me of the depth of my soul.”

Both women describe the same painting very differently. Whatever you perceive in the painting is true, it is your truth in this moment and is what matters to you, your experience in this moment. It can be different in another moment!  

Reading the text of the blue card out loud

Our first player is using the organisational version. This is what it says:

Her reflections are: “My organisation is in a process of fusing with other similar organisations and is losing its own lineage. There is no vision. I acknowledge the potential and the wisdom in my colleagues, I also witness how I listen, sense, align and learn and how in all of this I lose a piece of myself. I also realise how I always choose to work within a structure precisely to be safe, to be held. I don’t have enough structure on my own. It is hard for me not to have an authority offering me a structure. I miss a mother to hold me, to tell me it is all okay.“

The second player is playing with the full vibrational version of the board game. This is what it says:

Her reflections on the text are: “My family and ancestors had to be content with very little and they were. I receive more space, the ability to develop myself. I have struggled with simplicity and contentment. I perceive now how there is a mingling within me and an appreciation of simplicity and contentment related to my growing awareness. I have repaired the relationships within my lineage, I have freed the ancestral flow and I know I am held by my ancestral flow.”

The question at the bottom of the card – which stories do I rewrite – evokes something in her that touches her deeply. She shares: “I am not raised to be in the light and it is my nature to be shy.”

The coming to completion with the matrix 

Our players check the matrix. The matrix weaves the colours with where you land on the board. For the card lineage it is in the first phase of the green area, the phase of processing.

Our first player checks the matrix in the organisational version.

She shares with us: “I can access and use my spiritual lineage! It is such a joy to express myself and to speak out what I think and believe! When I honour my lineage, I bring in the fullness of my being.”

Our second player checks the matrix in the full vibration version.  

She is excited and suddenly exclaims: “It is a conditioning, I am already in the light. It is so normal!”

You can see how they both receive a further deepening on their journey with the game through the question in the matrix.

As you can see, we move through different levels of vibration while playing with these two women.

Different levels of vibration

Our starting question is always: “What’s here now?” What it actually does is ask you about your vibrational signature in this moment. It asks you what your experience is and with that come a variety of thoughts, sensations, emotions, feelings, eventually also ideas and concepts. These are all vibrations which paint your unique signature in this moment.

We know that the painting has a pallet of vibrations that is connected with the content of the card. When we invite you to reflect on the painting, you reflect on the vibrations that come to you on the level of your own imagination. You translate those vibrations into words.

When you see invasion that is what is important to you and will colour your experience. Invasion is always present in the card of lineage and an important facet of how we are with our lineage. And if you experience inspiration and gentle touch in the painting that is also true. The possibility of support and being held is always present in the card of lineage.

The texts of the blue cards have their own multilayered vibrations. They bring you a symphony of vibrational colours through words for you to explore and experience. Discern what resonates and let go what doesn’t.

Conclusion

Magic happens when you play with the ChancesToChange board game and it is all about vibrations. When you play the game, you start by bringing in your vibrational signature with the simple question: “What’s here now?”. 

When you start by choosing a blue card, you automatically connect to the consciousness of the game where we have all possible visions of the painting stored as superpositions in the quantum field.

When you are ready you turn the card and read the text out loud. Another multilayered level of sound vibrations reach you. Each text is woven with many different sources of wisdom and knowledge, all imprints in the collective essence.

All these vibrational experiences allow a mingling to happen with your own field, with your own vibrational signature. The process is completed and embodied through the matrix.

As we are playing in a quantum field, things are happening outside time and space as well. Both women received insight through what the other saw in the painting – both were affected by what the other perceived on different days!

The first woman noticed the richness and support and realised that her spiritual lineage was holding her, just as the second woman perceived her soul in the dark blue colour.

The second woman suddenly realised there is invasion through her conditioning and how that formed her reality, preventing her from going into the spotlight.

Something is really happening on the quantum level that feels like magic.

You are changed forever. You have a new experience and your soul converts that into consciousness which is added to your unique field.

If you want to experience your own vibrational signature and explore our board game, now is the perfect time. You can join us in our Awareness Marathon! We offer many opportunities to play with the ChancesToChange board game globally each Thursday and in open Guest rooms or scheduled meetings during the week.

ChancesToChange is a consciousness expressing itself in many different levels of vibration through a board game. There is an amazing fluidity in how you are invited to expand your vibrational spectrum while playing.

How can the ChancesToChange board game be of service to you?

We are listening to your unique experience and how you give meaning to what is happening. We are shapeshifting a field of fear into a flow of joy, ease and love.

These are special times. What is your current story? What is underneath the Coronavirus outbreak? What might really be happening? What is the essence of the Corona outbreak? Maybe it is the choice either to go for fear or to go for joy, ease and love; the choice to stay in survival mode or to go for new opportunities. 

Fear brings more fear and limitations on all levels of our being. Joy, ease and love create health and the possibility of new beginnings. 

What if we experience the Coronavirus outbreak as a flow where we can choose which forms with their related functions we create.

What will we cover in this article:

  • Experiencing the Coronavirus outbreak as a flow
  • The major players of the board game
  • What gives you strength and power in these times
  • The dance between our small self and our true self

Experiencing the Coronavirus outbreak as a flow

Flow, form and function is the movement in all of existence. If we are willing to consider the possibility that the Coronavirus outbreak is a flow of life force we open up to many possible choices with regard to the forms and functions that are able to unfold. We give our self the possibility to be responsive to what happens in our life and to live with ease and joy.

Yes there is the fear and yes there is the reality of people dying. It is important that we don’t underestimate the fear in the collective field, it is dense and sticky. It is invisible and contagious. Our small selves are very susceptible to fear. Each of us has his or her unique way in which our small self processes fear. Some of us experience panic attacks, some of us try to control, others stay calm and try to fix, analyse, rationalise. Some will become angry or blame. These are all survival modes related to, and triggered by, the field of fear.

There are a lot of ramifications caused by a collective field paralysed by fear or being governed by fear.  Fear has no power in itself, but when so many people, organisations and systems invest in fear, it becomes overwhelming. We are allowing fear to have authority over us, creating a loop of fear.

The only solution is to move our attention from fear-based choices towards our true self, aligning us to what really matters to us.

What is the underlying message of the outbreak, what is it bringing us? If we consider this outbreak as a flow of life force, we are able to see it as part of the intelligent design of the earth and all life on it and as part of our evolution. This is the very big picture and how does that look in our everyday life? What possibilities open up for us?

How can we with the ChancesToChange board game be of service?

The ChancesToChange board game creates a field where you are a long-awaited guest. We invite you to visit and play with us. We will completely welcome you.

Let’s start by looking at the major players in the board game and how they speak to you.

The major players in the board game

Let’s have a look at all the major players: 

Our body provides us, as a human being, with processes and symptoms related to our experience of what is happening to us and around us. This is absolutely true in this moment. Our hospitals and intensive care units are overloaded with patients needing assistance in their journey with the Coronavirus.

Stress has a negative effect on our immune system and fear is a huge stress factor. Joy on the other hand allows our body to access its inner healing capacity.

Our body is our most intimate partner in this adventure of being human. Our body partners with our soul. How do you listen to your body?

Our soul converts all our experiences into consciousness and is the bridge between us as spiritual beings and us as human beings. This bridge is our inner channel. Our soul has a script of those experiences it wants to have in this lifetime. You might consider the Coronavirus outbreak part of your soul’s script! 

Our experiences in life happen in the collective field, another major player.

The collective field is our playground and the memory of mankind. The imprints of fear in the field can cause us to endlessly repeat our old stories. At the same time we can experience the vastness and wholeness of the collective essence in the flow of the Coronavirus and allow this to support a unique new story for us as individuals and for the earth in general. How are you affected by this library of humanity?

The next player is our mind which arises through an interaction between the energy of the collective field, our body and our soul. In the board game there is no specific card for the mind and at the same time the mind is always present in the background as our mind processes all the information and energy that comes to us. Our mind is an amazing processor and if disconnected from our body and soul it can become quite a challenge to live our life to the fullest and cope with what is happening to us and around us. Especially in these times, we become a playball in the collective field, because our mind informs our personality. 

Our personality (= small self) is made up of aspects and facets which are constantly changing through experiencing. The Coronavirus outbreak and more precisely the fear-based choices affect the roles, titles and identifications our personality has gathered throughout our lives. The yellow card in the picture below shows us how our personality thinks, feels and acts.

How do you weave a colourful tapestry with these three facets in your life? Are thinking, feeling and doing supporting each other?

The game adds another major player to our life: silence. Silence is a place of rest and a moment of connection with our inner self. Each time we listen in the game we bring our awareness to our centre. We listen from within to source, our body and the collective field. The Coronavirus outbreak brings a great deal of silence back into our lives. 

We have described the six major players. This picture gives them all a place – our body (1), our soul and inner channel (2), our mind (3), the collective field (4), our personality (5) and silence (6) – and shows the interaction and ongoing exchange between all of them.

We return to the silence and we invite you to connect to your own inner being and gently ask yourself: “What gives me strength and power in these times?”

What gives you strength and power in these times? 

When we connect to our inner being, we automatically land in our inner channel. This channel grounds our soul into the earth and keeps our soul connected to the spiritual world to carry forth its purpose. This inner channel is also our intention. What is intention?

Intention is how we embrace the fullness of the offerings, tasks and challenges of our life as a human being. This also includes the challenges and offerings of the Coronavirus outbreak. Practically this unfolds through the fact that each facet of our personality has its own unique intention and there is a weaving between all these different intentions. Intention is how we bring the deepest truth of who and what we are and who and what we become into the world. 

Intention is an immeasurable and indescribable force that connects everything in the universe. The earth and all life on earth, every spiritual being and all our creations have an intention. How can you find your intention?

Each intention gives birth to a toroidal field (donut shaped) which holds our highest possible potential. As the picture shows, this toroidal field encompasses all the main players of this game: body, soul, collective field, mind, personality and silence. You can see visually how all that is related to your so-called human self – your body, mind, the collective field, your personality (=small self) – are held in this toroidal field. Your soul is the bridge between your human self and a much bigger part of the totality of your self.

The true self and the small self

The card of self refers to my true spiritual being and is the totality of who I am and who I become. My true self enables me to pioneer, to refresh and renew who I am in the world, what I do and how I think, feel and sense. It is my true self that can choose to turn my attention away from the field of fear. My personality is a smaller part of my true self and much more easily triggered through this field of fear. My personality is the part of me that will choose more easily for the role of victim.  

Conclusion

We always have the choice to align with our inner being and to move with grace and determination with whatever happens in our life or we can be governed by our small self’s programmes of fear and act upon those. It is a fine balance and all is welcome. We can have any experience we wish to have and afterwards return to what really matters to us.

We welcome all the major players in this board game which are also the major players in our day-to-day life. We know that our true self radiates light and love no matter what happens to us or around us; no matter which choices we make or do not make; regardless of where we bring our attention and regardless of how we are affected by the collective field or affect the collective field in turn. Our true self is always a continuously changing expression of our essence.

Please join us in our Awareness Marathon! We gently and lovingly share awareness and allow more perspectives and more choices.

An Awareness Marathon is where we invite each of us to breath and to connect with what really matters, with the truth of who we are and how we want to serve in this changing world! It is free and it is global!  It is joyful and it is contagious! We are ten facilitators ready to meet you in breakout rooms! Be welcome!

The Corona Virus a Threat or a Treat? Part three

How can we expand our awareness to reach beyond our day-to-day reality and access a huge hidden potential which has always existed outside time and space? 

It is fascinating to witness what is happening to us and around us in this moment. The corona outbreak unfolds globally and affects countries and people without any exclusion. This creates a web of fear that is fed by many of us and related to a whole variety of reasons. These reasons are the effects of the infection and the effects of all the measures taken worldwide in attempts to limit the spreading of the virus.

What does the infection mean for you personally, for your loved ones, for the ones you rely on for your daily needs? Are you afraid to die through the infection?

How is your life affected by the measures around the outbreak? How much authority do you give to fear? Fear has no power or effect on itself, it receives power over us by the energy we individually and collectively give it.

In this series of articles, we meet the fear and the Corona Virus and all that comes with it by playing the ChancesToChange board game. We even dare to assume that the Corona virus might be our chance to change!

Let’s start with summarizing.

What did we discover so far

The first article gently starts by inviting us to centre and to listen to our body and its innate wisdom. We realise that our body might welcome the corona virus as a long-awaited guest. The article brings us the awareness of unity consciousness and of the fact that the Corona virus is a form of consciousness belonging to unity consciousness just like you and me. Unity consciousness is an aspect of being human and points to the fact that all our thoughts, feelings and actions affect all the consciousness around us and that we in turn are affected by all the consciousness in the universe.

The second article brings us in direct contact with the Corona virus as it speaks to us through the collective field. Many of us would name that channeling. We will further elaborate on this in this article. The Corona virus shares some pretty amazing content around who and what it is and how it serves the evolutionary purpose of all life! The blue card of movement reminds us how all our choices affect the health of the earth and all life on it. How there is freedom when choices are not based on fear. The second article completed with a great deal of interesting and intriguing questions and there are more questions arising.

How can we have new experiences related with the outbreak of the Corona virus not based upon the imprints in the collective field but on the essence of the collective field? How can we live our lives to the fullest and bring in as much of our totality of our self as possible?

What are the major players in the ChancesToChange board game that enable us to accomplish this.

The major players in the board game

As the image of one of the yellow cards of the game shows, we all have some major players in our life.

Lets have a look at all the main players. Our body (1) provides us as a human being with processes and symptoms related to our experience of what is happening to us and around us. This is absolutely true in this moment. Our body is our most intimate partner in this adventure of being human. Our body partners with our soul (2). Our soul converts all our experiences into consciousness and is the bridge between us as spiritual beings and us as human beings. Our soul has a script of those experiences it wants to have in this lifetime. Maybe the Corona virus outbreak is part of our soul’s script! Our experiences happen in the collective field (3), another major player. The collective field is our playground. We can endlessly repeat our old stories, or we can make changes and write new stories. It is the archive of humanity. The next player is our mind (4) which arises through an interaction between the energy of the collective field, our body and our soul. Our mind processes all the information and energy that comes to us. Our mind is an amazing processor and if disconnected from our body and soul it can become quite a challenge to live our life to the fullest and cope with what is happening to us and around us. Our mind informs another player which is our personality (5), made up of aspects and facets which are constantly changing through experiencing. The Corona virus outbreak strongly affects the roles, titles and identifications our personality has gathered throughout our lives. 

The last major player is silence (6). Silence is a place of rest and a moment of connection with our inner self. Each time we listen in the game we bring our awareness to our centre. We listen from within to source, to our body, to the collective field. The Corona virus outbreak brings a great deal of silence back into our lives.

Are you ready to continue? Remember how the virus can only give its offerings outside time and space. What is outside time and space? How do we get there? We move on to the next section, to the possibility to acknowledge the existence of dimensions and to even travel through them.

The existence of different dimensions

Let’s first see what a dimension is. A dimension is a means of organizing different planes of existence according to their vibratory rate. Each dimension has certain sets of laws and principles that are specific to the frequency of that dimension. A dimension with a higher frequency embraces and permeates the dimensions with lower frequencies. You see the earth-bound dimensions on the picture. We are particularly interested in the third and fourth dimension. The third dimension is our day-to-day reality with its definitions of time and space. It is a fascinating plane of existence where we can organise our self and live together. It does obey the laws of Newton. The fourth dimension follows the sets of laws and principles of quantum mechanics and is a portal into the collective field (3). The fourth dimension embraces and permeates the third dimension. You see how our body (1) and the earth easily connect with all four dimensions and you also can see how our inner channel (2) can function as a highway between the different dimensions. This inner channel is our intention, the channel grounds our soul into the earth and keeps our soul connected to the spiritual world to carry forth its purpose.

It is important to expand our self into an awareness of the fourth dimension and still function in the third dimension in our day-to-day reality. By playing we easily access the higher vibrational level of the fourth dimension. This happens each time one of the players throws a purple, a yellow or a red dot. These are the turns where we listen. In the listening we centre and align with our body and soul. We bridge from our day-to-day awareness of our mind and connect it with our body and soul. Automatically we ground into the earth and are connected with the spiritual world. We discovered over the past years that we strengthen our inner channel each time we play with the ChancesToChange board game and we are able to reach a great deal more information than we normally did. This can happen through words, images, sensations or sounds or a combination of any of these.

Conclusion

We made a fascinating journey with you playing the ChancesToChange board game while the Corona virus outbreak is unfolding. The major players in the board game are of course also the major players in each of our lives. We realise that within the reality of the third dimension we have limited options to meet the corona virus. How can we welcome the corona virus as a long-awaited guest in our bodies and receive the offerings of our guest in a field that exists beyond time and space. I realise that this is double scary. Meeting the corona virus and traveling out of your known day-to-day reality. And we are invited to expand our awareness out of the comfort zone of the third dimension into the quantum field of the fourth dimension while we still fully embrace the third dimension. As if the corona virus points to a vast potential which resides out of space and time and is always present. We collectively forgot about this vast potential.

We start an “Awareness Marathon” with the ChancesToChange board game. You are all welcome whether you have played with the game or not yet, whether you have a ChancesToChange board game or not. We will explore our inner channel and learn how to expand into the magical quantum field of the fourth dimension.


All that is happening to us and around us is an amazing story, it is a fascinating journey. It is the end of time as we know it and it is a new beginning. The Corona virus is a treat in many ways, already visible and not yet visible. How the outbreak will unfold is partly known and mostly unknown.

Warm regards, Veerle

Aspects of life

The corona virus a threat or a treat? Part two

What if this outbreak offers us a whole new way of being and has the possibility to create an impact on the health of the earth and all life on it?

Are you ready to continue our engagement with the Corona virus? Are you willing to consider the possibility to change the prominent story of the Corona virus?

What if the Corona virus is not a threat?

What do we take with us from the first article in this series? The possibility that the Corona virus is a long awaited guest in our house and an inner knowing that all in creation, also viruses, is consciousness and originates from the same source. 

The Corona virus outbreak causes a lot of disruption in our social life, our health and our economy, locally and globally. We know where it starts, we have no clue how it unfolds and what will happen next. There is a great deal in the unknown.

What is happening in our sourcing week with the ChancesToChange community as we play our organisation into being?

A player throws a yellow dot

The image shows you the instructions we follow this time.

In the silence we all centre, we observe and listen to what is happening to and around us. We are engaging with the collective field. In the collective field we leave imprints of what we as humanity create and have created. It also contains imprints of all our other lives, of archetypes, family and system constellations. It is a rich archive and is our playground as a human being. It is where we engage with other life forms, such as the corona virus.

Through the listening to the collective field we are able to receive information from this field.

This is what the player receives as a message from the corona virus:

“I am here with a purpose. I have been laying dormant for eons and now is the time. I am not a mutant, I am pure DNA, pure and very ancient knowledge and I come to the surface in this very precise timing.

I have been waiting, I have been observing and I have been witnessing. I have been everywhere and nowhere. I am part of a whole new way of being, a new way of doing and knowing things, whatever that might be. I am old, very very old. I have always existed and came with the first spark of life to the planet.

I exist beyond time and space and there beyond time and space I deliver my offering. Children are often able to see me, understand me and acknowledge me. I have very strong vibrations. I am lonely, I am old, even ancient and what I offer is something completely unheard of, it is something that has been hidden, asleep for a very long time.”

We are deeply touched. How does this land in you? After a pause, we continue our game.

Another player throws a blue dot

She blindly chooses a card from the deck of blue cards. She starts describing the painting on the card. She discerns the universe and also a form that could be like a virus whirling around.

When she is finished describing the painting she turns the card around and reads the text. The title of this card is “Movement” and the subtitles are determination and freedom.

She reads the text out loud: “Movement embraces action as well as acceleration, slowing down or standing still. I have a particular effect on movement within my organisation by making choices that are not based on fear. How we move has a great impact on the earth and all life on it. Movement is essential for the existence and health of the earth and all life on it.”

She reflects on the tekst: “The Corona virus outbreak certainly causes us all to slow down and to even stand still. As the lock down of cities and countries reveals.” “So many choices with regard to the Corona virus are based on fear!” “The Corona virus has a great impact on our movement and on the health of the earth and all life on it.”

Conclusion

Many of us meet the corona virus through our mind in a day-to-day reality which we perceive through our five senses. This is the so-called third dimension with its definitions of time and space and a dimension following the laws of Newton. If we live our day-to-day reality disconnected from our centre, we are not aware of the wisdom of our body and of the choices our soul has for us in this lifetime. This can easily result in us being a play ball of the imprints of the collective field constantly affecting our day-to-day reality. We create our future scenarios based upon these imprints. From this view point the Corona virus outbreak is a threat and causes a great deal of fear.

And maybe there are other possibilities. Let’s sit with a few questions:

What is possible and how can we allow a consciousness that seems to be very old and maybe even belongs to the very origins of the earth and all life on it to engage with us in a playful and even joyful way? What if there are so many other possibilities to be with this fascinating virus? What if it really has an offering for us? What if it is an offering for all of us and nobody is excluded? What if it is the precise timing and what if we are ready to receive the offering, even if we don’t know it yet? What if it is the time for a huge change, for chances to change, for quantum shifts, for new beginnings never heard of before? What if we can do it?

The ChancesToChange board game brings a new wave into the world, a new way to meet the Corona virus with joy and ease and playfulness. By playing we engage with the Corona virus, we listen to it, we open our house for it. The corona virus originates from the same source as you, as us and as all of life. All of life has an intention, an unmeasurable and indescribable force present everywhere in the universe. The corona virus also has an intention and in itself is not good or bad, it is just a life form with a purpose.

In the next article we continue our game and our exploration. How do we meet the Corona virus beyond time and space. How can we live our lives with all that constantly happens to us and around us, with all the fear in the collective field and also meet a virus beyond time and space to receive its offering.

Aspects of life

Corona Virus a Threat or a Treat? Part One.

Shapeshift a prominent story through accessing the wisdom of your body and your inner knowing. Apply ChancesToChange as a way of living.

The Corona virus is our prominent story at this moment. It affects all of us locally and globally, it also affects our sourcing gathering here in the South of France with the ChancesToChange community. ChancesToChange is a wildly original board game and exists since December 2016. The board game serves as a doorway to wake up and live your life to the fullest. Since its creation we play everything with regard to our organisation into existence.

In this article we first have a look at the prominent story of the Corona virus. Afterwards we take  you on a journey while we play the ChancesToChange board game. You receive insights in what happens when a player throws a red dot and when a player throws a blue dot.

What is the prominent story of the Corona virus?

The prominent story of the Corona virus is that it is a threat for individuals, communities, countries and the economy. The information we daily receive is about the numbers of people affected in each country, about the speed of the spreading of the infection and how it affects us globally. The Corona virus does not seem to make any difference between good or bad, colour, race, beliefs, ethnicity, wealth.

Our collective answer is a combination of actions in an attempt to try treating the symptoms of the outbreak on an individual and global level.

We try to find a vaccin against the virus or find all kind of alternative procedures to strengthen our immune system.

We try to prevent the spreading of the virus by locking down villages and cities, even locking down countries.

We fight, we protect, we separate, we are afraid.

The most important ingredient of the prominent story is fear. Fear to become ill, fear to die. Fear that our economy will suffer, fear that are lives will be disrupted.

Fear unites us globally these days and is the reason we exclude and separate our self and others to a fascinating extend. 

Playing the ChancesToChange board game and meeting the corona virus

Whatever happens to and around us always affects the game. So does the story of the Corona virus.

This article shares some of the extraordinary insights and fascinating possibilities we receive as we play. We are all somewhere on the board and we play at this moment using both dice, a numbered one and a coloured one. The numbered one allows us to move on the board and the coloured one adds specific instructions depending on the colour we throw.

A player throws a red dot

The image shows you the instructions we follow.

We go into silence and we connect with our body. We sense and we listen. Our body is wise and so much more conscious than our everyday mind. There is a sharing circle were all the players share their insights to the player who threw the red dot.

One of the reflections is: “I see how the corona virus is a guest in my house, my house being my body.  What if I welcome this guest as in Rumi’s poem the Guest House with an open heart and mind?”

Another player shares: “I see DNA and something happening inside the DNA, as if there is a bridging, I see gates.”

A player throws a blue dot

In another turn one of us throws a blue dot and is invited to choose a blue card. The card “Unity consciousness” comes to her.

She reads the card and realises how everything in the universe, all life on earth and all of us are forms of consciousness. What if the corona virus is as an aspect of consciousness and part of unity consciousness?

Conclusion

Where are you? How does this land in you?

Already a lot to sit with!

Viruses have the ability, always have been the ability to exchange their genetic material with us humans. Sequences of viral DNA incorporated in our DNA during our evolution and serve our functions. So maybe what one of the players saw when listening to her body is actually true and is what is happening. What if the Corona virus outbreak serves our evolutionary purpose?

The card of unity consciousness reminds us of our inner knowing. A knowing that all forms of consciousness in the universe may coexist, also the Corona virus and are in turn influenced by the feelings, emotions, thoughts and actions of every human being.

What if our fear ignites more fear?

We will continue to play with the ChancesToChange board game.  In the second article of this series we listen to the collective field and meet the Corona virus there.

The collective field is a rich library of humanity and very intriguing, in this field we also find all the imprints of past pandemics. Do you want to be a play ball in the collective field or a co-creator of new stories?

The ChancesToChange board game offers you insight and new perspectives on whatever happens to and around you in your life.

I would love your insights and comments on this article.

Kind regards, Veerle

A Gateway to Break Free from the Powerful Practice of Reviews!

A Gateway to Break Free from the Powerful Practice of Reviews!

A story of your experience is what is true for you in the moment, it can be “made to stick” and reveal a unique quality of how you serve.

This blog article takes you into the world of reviews, a world that seems to control us and define our experiences.

Do you care about the reviews people write about you or your services?

Do you write reviews?

Here is how we will explore and meet this world of reviews:

  • A review of my recent experience in a restaurant
  • What makes an experience stick?
  • Is what I need also what you need?

 

A review of my recent experience in a restaurant

My experience in Bistro Heritage made me smile. This is my story or if you wish, my review.

I enjoyed the food and the wine and yet that is not really what made me experience joy. What made me leave the bistro with a smile on my face was the effect the gracious attitude of the maître had on me.

In a short period of time I noticed him spontaneously filleting a sole for one of his young customers. A little while later he passed my table and saw my puzzled look regarding the piece of rib in front of me. He gently proposed to cut it in smaller pieces for me. It was a generous offer, he did not parent me. I felt grateful and cared for. Later in the evening I witnessed how he offered another couple a glas of rosé out of a magnum bottle. He saw their own bottle was empty and their meal not yet finished.

This review shares the story of my experience. It is personal, it is unique to who and what I am. It is related to what sticks for me!

 

What makes an experience stick

There is a lot of information available on what sticks and what doesn’t stick. The Heath brothers take you on a special journey in their book “Made to Stick”  They list a series of factors that are important if you want your organisation, product or restaurant to stick:

SIMPLE-UNEXPECTED-CONCRETE-CREDIBLE-EMOTIONAL-STORY

Lets have look and match these factors with my story above.

  • It is simple, this maître sees an opening and he acts upon it.
  • It is unexpected, he got my attention.
  • It is concrete, I understood and I remembered it afterwards.
  • It is credible. I believe that this way of being is what will create a more beautiful world.
  • It is emotional, because it is about care and love for others.
  • It is a story that can be spread into the world.

This is remarkable! What if what makes us smile, sticks with us because it follows all these principles the Heath brothers mention!

What is also remarkable that many reviews are limited to one or two of these aspects.

Many relate to the emotional aspect. The mâitre was unfriendly. The personal was adorable. Or they offer concrete comments. The food was horrible. The wine was delicious.

There is already an important invitation here. What if we wrote: I perceived the mâitre as unfriendly. I felt cared for by the personal. I didn’t like the food. I loved the wine. Then we share our stories in such a way that shows that we are responsible for our own experience and for what sticks with us.

Another observation here is that reviews are not only about what makes us smile. Reviews might be more related to what we need and want. Here comes another perspective to explore!

 

Is what I need also what you need?

I found an article through TripAdvisor referencing five major qualities a maître of a restaurant should have in order to succeed. One of these qualities is on understanding customer needs. Which is more specific identifying the true needs of each client.

There might be a pitfall here. A maître could easily take his needs for yours and impose those on you. What he needs or beliefs or thinks is not always what you need, believe or think!

Let’s return to the story. How does this maître of the Bistro Heritage handle his customers needs? He does not assume he knows the needs of his customers, he waits until those needs are obvious. His intuition then seems to inform him about the right action. He gets out of the way.

What we learn here is that customers needs are related to your success. We add one more factor to the list of the brothers Heath. This factor is “service” and this makes the acronym SUCCESS complete!

Let us return to the topic of this article! How does this relate to reviews? What you need and want and share in a review is unique for you and might not be what I want and need.

 

Wrapping up

We offer more perspectives into this fascinating world of reviews, a world that affects us and guides our choices.

Reviews are always personal stories. This is part of the policies of TripAdvisor, the kingdom of reviews (…. I certify that this review is based on my own experience and is my genuine opinion…). This leads us into an important question. How reliable are reviews?

We are responsible in how we share our stories and vice versa how we read and interpret the stories of others.

Reviews are often how you attract and keep customers loyalty for your business. Maybe they are only one aspect of our success: the story!

In order to make your business stick you have a unique choice:

“Be you, be the truth of who and what you are and how you serve.”

Some people will like it and others won’t like it. You will get all kind of reviews. They are always right from the perspective of the person who wrote them and they might not be wright for you, they might even not be useful.

And what about writing reviews? You can spark joy in others if you share your personal experience aligned with the truth of who and what you are and how you serve.

If you are interested in more material that sparks joy, you can learn more about Guest House Facilitation and the ChancesToChange board game.
