2 Raspberry

Emotional healing & growth

The raspberry scoop of ice-cream represents emotional healing and growth through the concept of one-ness, unconditional love, and an equal balance of give and take.

It shows our interaction with others, how we share our love, gifts and feelings with each other and how we communicate our emotional truth.

Our place in the world

The first step is to break out of our comfort-zone into a new territory of adventure and expansion.

Instead of keeping ourselves small, due to a lack of self-esteem, we gracefully claim our place in the world by sharing our natural gifts and talents.

Instead of working overly hard to prove ourselves worthy or retreating ourselves completely, because we think we have nothing valuable to give, we take responsibility to step into our power with determination, courage and clarity.

We no longer repress our true nature and keep our gifts hidden, out of fear of rejection or not being good enough. We approach life with the question: What can I bring to this situation or relationship? Instead of: What is in it for me?

The prison of expectations, we hold ourselves in, and the demanding expectations, that we think others have of us, when it comes to our appearance, behaviour and the results of our efforts, starts to break down. We feel the strain of perfectionism melt away. Confidently engaging in life and following our passions start with the bold decision to fully love and accept ourselves.

We also no longer feel the need to put high expectations and conditions onto others for us to feel good. When we come from a place of lack, we often unconsciously ask for things, that we are not giving ourselves. When we have an emotional mentality of lack in our hearts, nothing anybody give us, is ever good enough. This distorted perception is often accompanied by unrealistic “fantasy-land” projections, that only lead to disappointment, depression and withdrawal.

When we release all our needs to the universe instead, fully believing that we are worthy of receiving everything we need and ask for, we relax in gratitude. Giving thanks for our own energy, gifts, and talents, and those of others, makes it easier to be more content. We appreciate the riches, that are already there for us. This motivates us to share more and more from the overflow of our hearts without expecting anything in return.

Communication & truth

This second step is right in the middle of the ice cream program and one of the most profound ones.

It teaches us to free our heart from old pain and emotions and then finding the courage and trust to fully open it again to the world.

Old fears caused by experiences of betrayal, hurt and mistreatment, make us distrustful and hold our heart energy captive. We are afraid to truly show ourselves in our full glory and authenticity, which is what makes us feel alive and gives us our natural radiance and charisma. Instead we choose to wear masks, try to be all things to all people and to become the bridge to meet others, where they are. This is caused by an underlying fear of missing out, being excluded or being rejected, which stands in the way of a true, sincere connection.

When we scatter our energy in this way, we will eventually pay the price for the stress and anxiety it brings to our lives. The tower of our old belief system and behaviour will fall eventually to make way for a new solid beginning, that is firmly grounded in taking back our true power. This forces us to take responsibility and make a commitment to tend to our own well-being. It is the big wake-up call, that catapults us into release, forgiveness, the redefinition of our inner truth, and the readjustment of our focus.

Who are we really? What are our true values, beliefs and desires? What do we really stand for? When we start to live and communicate our truth from our heart and authentic self, we create a momentum so strong, that the influence, opinions and power of others over us will simply dissipate. As we no longer forcefullty try to be something we are not, we can use and focus all of our precious energy for our highest good and become a true giver and receiver of love in all of our relationships.

Trust & a leap of faith

This last step shows us how to practise our new found balance of giving and receiving love, which we now start to integrate into our relationships.

Our open, flowing heart and strongly focused energy attract other experiences of love to us.

Even in relationships with people, that we have known for a long time, we see different results from our interactions.

Through our liberation from our prison of fear and mental limitations, we lose our serious outlook and tenseness and make way for our creative juices to rise up to the surface. Our humour, charm, and playfulness come to life and bring a spark to our eyes as well as to our relationships.

Our newly found openness and vulnerability improve our sexuality and sexual connections, because our radiant life-force finally flows freely through our bodies. When we combine this inspiring and uplifting energy with the true intimacy and connection from our heart space, we will experience bliss and fulfilment in our intimate relationships.

When we are currently without a partner, we have no trouble attracting a healthy and mutually fulfilling relationship, because we are entering our connections from a place of truth, integrity, and complete dedication and surrender. There is no more room in our hearts for the pitfalls of doubt, lack, manipulation, and control. We confidently take the big leap of faith towards unconditional love!
