Beschreibung

Nothing will ever be the same again! This is the conclusion reached by Erika Katharina Hermann a few years ago, after she wakes up one morning with an inner peace, deep love and unfathomable light in her heart that she has never felt before. She uses this moment of spiritual awakening to rethink her well-known, routine life and to start writing poems and prayers. The result is an anthology of spiritual texts that not only encourage reflection, but also challenge one's own life – far from social norms and expectations, towards a life with God.

Dedication

I dedicate this book to all people who devote their lives to love, peace and a higher power.

***

Those who are cradled in the trust of the spiritual world and understand the language of the heart.

But also to all those who go on a journey of discovery to perceive life from a different perspective.

***

Above all, it is also addressed to all the people who have supported me mentally and helped me with advice and support. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family, my husband Johann and my children Julia and Laura, who gave me the time to do this. Also to my closest circle of friends, Tanja Maurus, yoga teacher Anita Arentz, Claudia Kloos, Marianne Röhrig and Elke Wagner. I would also like to thank all those I have not mentioned here who also believed in me.

In the glow of light

Nothing will ever be the same again!

This thought was my conclusion after an experience I had that particular morning. However, before I begin my story, I ask you, dear reader, to pause for a moment and reflect on the following question. What event has ever so overwhelmed you that you have experienced the deepest peace and love?

I ask you this question deliberately because I want you to remember that moment that can never be understood with the mind, but can only be felt with the heart. It is difficult to put into words how to express such an experience, but I am very happy to embark on the journey of my very special experience. Light has always been the decisive factor for me. In our lives it is reflected as day, but in spirituality it is reflected as eternity. This is exactly what my story is about, about eternal light and true love.

My adventure began when I attended a yoga class around four to five years ago. I was immediately hooked from the very first class. I still practise yoga today and can only recommend it to anyone, as it is a comprehensive package that encompasses body, soul and mind. As I was very enthusiastic about it and found it incredibly enjoyable, I wanted to delve a little deeper into the subject. I read books about it and informed myself more than ever about spirituality. About six months later, the following event happened, which I would never have believed in. This is probably partly due to my yoga teacher Anita Arentz, who opened my third eye during a visit by openingher hand. Whatever happened, or how it happened, is still a mystery to me today. The only explanation I could come up with is that our paths were meant to cross because our souls had chosen to do so. To this day, we have a very close and friendly relationship, which I greatly appreciate. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for that. But now to my story:

Early one Saturday morning, I woke up and received light in my heart. It flowed through my whole body and took me on an unknown journey. Such a wonderful, loving, powerful and peaceful journey. I felt light and liberated, a state of bliss. It was an indescribably beautiful feeling to have such a big heart that opened up. I let go and walked with the light of love, freed from everything that did not belong to me. I received warmth, strength, enormous energy and soaked it up to the tips of my fingers and the soles of my feet. I was pure light, a wonderful feeling. I could have stayed in this state forever, in this world of light, because, as I only realized later, this was an encounter with God. But at some point I got up, gave in to everyday life and quickly realized that nothing was the same as before. Charged with this energy, I started the day. I felt really uplifted. This state lasted for about a week. During this time, unbelievable events happened that are incomprehensible to the mind. I perceived nature, the forest, the animals, my fellow human beings, simply everything, much more friendly, colorful and peaceful. I made friends with our neighbor's dog and played with him, even though I was afraid of dogs. At that time, I felt the deepest peace in myself and my surroundings, because I received love. There was and will never be any quarrelling, envy or hatred. I was at onewith myself, my fellow human beings and nature. During this time, I discovered abilities in myself that I had never dared to dream of.

I started writing poems and prayers for no particular reason, it just happened. Like an inspiration from "above", if you like. I felt they were not my words, but words that were given to me to convey love and peace to humanity. To give them the feeling that there is a power beyond our imagination that always welcomes us with open arms if we want it. A love and an enrichment of immeasurable value. A presence that cannot be put into words, but can only be felt with the heart. So I continued to write with joy and zeal, it literally bubbled out of me. An unsuspected gift came to light, which I eventually shared with my friends. They were enthusiastic and encouraged me to continue writing. Marianne Röhrig, a good friend who also writes, finally gave me the idea of writing prose. I found it a bit difficult at first, but over time it became easier and easier and gave me incredible pleasure. I have now spent the last three to four years writing a lot of poems, prayers and texts and also completed a one-year correspondence course (literary writing) at the Cornelia Goethe Academy. When I look back on this time, I can't even believe that all these things happened, because I was never a person of many words and certainly not of writing.

One more reason for me to believe in miracles, because I have actually experienced them. These words immediately bring to mind a quote from the Bible: "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THE ONE WHO BELIEVES" (Mark 9:23b)." Faith inis known to move mountains and if we surrender to it, nothing will seem impossible to us. We are led into dimensions that our minds can never really comprehend. Basically, we all have gifts and abilities within us, we just have to allow them to emerge and rediscover them. As a child, everything seemed very simple to us, we didn't worry about this and that, no, we let life carry us. We surrendered to divine guidance, believing that everything was good. We had this basic trust that many of us have lost in adulthood. Of course, upbringing, environmental influences, but also drastic events play an important role. But be that as it may, we are souls who have made a conscious decision to incarnate here on earth as human beings and to have our experiences. Accordingly, we have brought our own rucksack, which is specially designed for us. Some may think that the contents are very heavy, but everyone only carries what they are able to cope with, and we should be aware of this. Many things in life seem extremely important to us, but we very often put ourselves in the background. Have you ever asked yourself why this is the case? Have you consciously asked yourself why you often live in this illusory world? Only the trappings seem so important? Work, material things, etc ... This often suppresses what we humans find difficult, namely to deal with ourselves. Again, I could ask you the next question: "When was the last time you took time for yourself, for example to read a good book, listen to music or go out into nature? Just you alone, consciously escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life to recharge your batteries.
