For Stine meditation and changing the relationship to her mind has been an invaluable tool in transforming her life into experiencing more peace and freedom. Meditation has shown her the power of staying as awareness, focusing on praise and acceptance and being conscious of what she is focusing on has transformed her life in undreamed of ways, both internally and externally. She has been a meditation and yoga teacher since 2006. After searching in different spiritual directions for several years, she finally found a teaching that resonated with her heart, and in 2006 she attended a 6-month meditation course in Canada, after having been introduced to the wonderful ascension techniques. This allowed her to dive deep into Silence and since then she have loved her daily practice of meditation and she loves sharing this. She has also been studying homeopathy, natural healing methods and yoga, and in her experience healing can some times take place only in changing the inner state of mind. In this way we become conscious of and can let go of negative beliefs, and let love and the silence embrace us again. Through these years she has experienced what truly transforms her inner state of being and also seeing through teaching meditation and yoga how this can transform peoples lives. She loves sharing a way of finding true, lasting peace and for her it starts within.

Author Biography

Live in joy,

In love,

Even among those who hate.

Live in joy,

In health.

Even among the afflicted.

Live in joy,

In peace,

Even among the troubled.

Live in joy,

Without possessions.

Like the shining ones.

The winner sows hatred

Because the loser suffers.

Let go of winning and losing

And find joy.

There is no fire like passion,

No crime like hatred,

No sorrow like separation,

No sickness like hunger,

And no joy like the joy of freedom.

Health, contentment and trust

Are your greatest possessions,

And freedom your greatest joy.

Look within.

Be still.

Free from fear and attachment,

Know the sweet joy of the way.

How joyful to look upon the awakened

And to keep company with the wise.

How long the road to the man

Who travels the road with the fool.

But whoever follows those who follow the way

Discovers his family, and is filled with joy.

Follow then the shining ones,

The wise, the awakened, the loving,

For they know how to work and forbear.

Follow them

As the moon follows the path of the stars.

Dhammapada by Gautama Buddha

Introduction

Although letting go seems simple and easy, its ultimate effects are profoundly powerful. A quick little surrender done in an almost off-handed manner can sometimes bring about a major change in your life.

Letting go – The Pathway of Surrender. David R. Hawkins

With this book I wish to share with you how to let go of and transform negative beliefs, emotions, and fears and step into your inner freedom and a state of awareness, love, and acceptance. I hope this book will inspire you to experience more of who you are, gain clarity on what your life is offering you in this moment, and show you ways to let go of what might be holding you back.

The inspiration to write this book comes from my personal experience of finding a way out of fear, negative emotions, depression, and intense thoughts. I now live a life filled with peace and joy, a life far from what I earlier dared to dream of. My life has not changed dramatically on the outside, but internally my experience of life has been turned upside down in every positive way. I now live a life I love. Previously I did not enjoy life because of negative beliefs and blocked emotions. These beliefs both held me back internally, keeping me from enjoying life, and also held me back from creating the life I really wanted to live because of my limiting beliefs about what I could do and create.

To get out of the downward spiraling loops of the mind, I have used a meditation and yoga. Meditation has brought me back to an inner state of awareness, behind the fluctuating movements of the mind. From this awareness I find life is filled with more joy, ease, flow, and abundance. Through this time of stepping into awareness, I have been writing poetry, song lyrics, inspirational texts, and now this book about the inner transformation that takes place when we become aware.

My dream is for all of us to fully wake up from the collective sleep we have been in, to wake up to love, to wake up to union, and to create heaven here, now, on this beautiful planet that we share.

I believe all people want and deserve a life lived in peace, freedom, love, and happiness. And the more people who wake up to an inner experience of peace, the closer we are to creating peace on the planet as a whole.

Strangely, most of us believe that experiencing inner peace is not possible, that it is not available for us, or often on a deeper level that we don’t deserve it. These beliefs take us out of our true selves to begin with and can stop us from searching for it. The tendency in most of us is to search for this peace and joy outside of ourselves instead of going within. This outward search will in most cases take us further away from joy and peace because now we are addicted to something out there to make us happy. It can be a relationship, a job, a certain position, our successes, or our possessions. It depends on what we have been brought up to believe in.

There is nothing wrong with having a successful career and amazing relationships. But having a foundation of peace and love within us, unconditioned by our external achievements in life, will give us a stronger sense of stability, purpose, and belonging. This inner state of awareness that feels like home and that is unchanging and eternal—the you that never leaves and is always your companion—is more reliable than anything outside of us. This state within is forever present and can’t be taken away from us, but still most of us have forgotten this state, and instead we live on the surface level of our minds. We identify with being limited and much smaller than our true nature really is.

I consider myself lucky to have been in a state of mind that was so unbearable to be in that the urge for freedom was so intense that nothing could stop me from finding a way to experience it. The experience of inner peace is very much real and alive. It is not a vague dream available to a handful of people or monks living in caves detached from society. It is here, now, available to us all. It is our natural state of mind and body, and this experience is our birthright.

When my meditation teacher told me it is possible to live a life in joy and wonder, I did not believe him. However, I believed that somehow it could be possible to live a life with less fear and to some extent experience more joy and have some kind of release from the fearful state my mind was in. I consider myself extremely lucky today that this voice inside me made me give it a go. That was how my journey of ascension started, making me look inward so I could find more peace and happiness inside. This inner experience eventually started to spread into my outer life as well, and now I live in a state of mind that previously I did not even dare to dream of.

In this book I will share with you ways to find what we can call the shadow sides in ourselves and transform them into freedom, light, peace, and love. I will share the powerful effects of praise, gratitude, love, and acceptance and introduce you to easy techniques you can apply in your everyday life to experience these states. How you use these techniques is up to you and how they fit into your life. The more you use these techniques, the greater impact they will have on your life and state of
