As a young child, I lived with my parents in Brussels, the bustling capital of our Belgian country. I got to spend my summer vacations with my cousins in rural Limburg.
When our chores were done, we often visited neighborhood children, walked together to the pine forest only 500 meters away, or found each other back on the street where we chatted, played, and frolicked.
A Small Happiness
At the beginning of that summer vacation, my aunt took me to the shoe store in the village where she picked out a pair of sturdy sandals for me. They were sandals with white and red leather straps running over my feet. On top were metal studs, like protective blocks. They would withstand all the summer’s rough play. I was so happy with my sandals, which were much more colorful than the classic sturdy leather shoes my parents bought for me.
A Big Unhappiness
That day, I was about 6 years old, we went out on the street when the baker stopped in front of the house across the street with his blue delivery truck, packed with bread and other baked goods.
A group of boys stood outside and started insulting the girls, including my cousin and me. As a small, slender city child, I wasn’t one to hold my tongue and stood up for the group. A hefty boy of about 9 couldn’t match me verbally, so he started challenging me personally. He dared me to hang with my body straight, feet on the ground, from the bumper at the back of the baker’s truck. He said I wouldn’t have the guts. It became a back-and-forth pushing match, and at some point, I just hung onto the bumper. What was wrong with that, after all? I wasn’t afraid of the baker, who might make a comment. Besides, I wanted to teach that braggart a lesson in his boasting, to put him in his place. I was standing up for my cousin, whom he treated as inferior and insulted.
However, none of the children had noticed that the baker had returned to his truck. He got behind the wheel and drove off just as I hung onto the bumper.
The baker drove off and would drive to the end of the street to his next destination. He had just delivered to the last house on the street.
There I was, dangling from the truck. I tried to keep my body as straight as possible so that my knees wouldn’t touch the ground. The asphalt road was hardened with mixed gravel that could tear my skin like a pointed stone carpet.
I pulled my toes in as much as possible, finding protection under the leather straps with metal studs. However, this position was hard to maintain.
Fortunately, a neighbor saw what was happening and cycled after the truck like crazy, managing to stop it.
The baker was immensely shocked. When I stood up, blood ran down my knees, and my toes were all scraped and bleeding.
The doctor was called and came by. He prescribed the necessary ointments and treatments.
Our Memories
It’s strange how we often remember only certain fragments of an event. I vividly recall my need to stand up for my cousin and how I acted and thought while hanging behind the truck. However, I have no memory of the pain and the subsequent healing process. We retain the experienced emotions; they attach to our bodies, but we forget the physical pain once it’s gone.
What events remind you of profound emotions? Which previously experienced and healed physical pains continue to affect you?
Healing is the Message
Once physical wounds heal and the pain is gone, we are no longer affected by them. Our body is healed. However, emotional pain remains present. The profound emotions we couldn’t process after the event attach to our bodies in the form of energy balls. This can cause both mental and physical complaints. Resolving these trapped emotions leads to physical and mental healing. The body is freed from negative low-vibrating energies, begins to vibrate higher again, and thus can activate the body's self-healing ability.
The Emotion Code is a method where trapped low-vibrating emotions are energetically removed, allowing the body to heal again. Older people can accumulate hundreds of trapped emotions, children dozens, depending on the number of profound emotional experiences. It is a simple method that can be applied to adults, children, and animals alike.
Make an appointment today, remove your trapped emotions, and experience how your life can take a new turn, free from old burdens.
Emotions and colors: The language of the inner self
Emotions are a powerful aspect of our humanity, and like colors, they have the ability to represent our world in a way that is sometimes difficult to describe with words. Each emotion can be linked to a color that expresses its intensity and feeling. Consider, for example, the deep red of passion or anger, a color that, in its intensity, reflects the fierceness of these emotions. Or the calming color blue, representing serenity and peace, reminding us of the tranquility of a still sea or a clear sky.
The idea of expressing emotions through colors helps us to better understand and deal with them. Colors can serve as a visual language for our inner being, a way to communicate and explore our feelings without always needing words. As we become more aware of the colors that represent our emotions, we might also gain a better understanding of how these emotions influence our lives and how we can achieve greater balance with them.
In my book "The Power of Being One with Your True Self," I wanted to reflect the emotions and storyline explored in the various sections through the accompanying illustrations. Laura Bertrands, my stepdaughter (Johan's daughter), immersed herself in these emotions and stories, translating them into color through mixed-media art illustrations.
It's beautiful how she can so purely express these feelings, emotions, and stories!
I was personally so deeply moved by the beautiful illustrations that I couldn't resist working with them and designing multiple products.
In the webshop, you can find a set of 8 bookmarks and posters featuring the illustrations and the book cover. Additionally, there's a 20-piece card set that you can use to spark conversations with others about topics related to the book, or simply to reflect on yourself.
These products are definitely worth checking out to add more color to your life. Be sure to take a look!
