Sun kissed Sensuality of Peace and Bliss

After 12 years of modeling around the world and being blessed to have the opportunity to work with many very successful photographers,I decided to pick up my own camera. Making the type of pictures i loved having taken of myself. A natural calm sensuality is what i love to feel and capture in a everlasting picture. This picture here i made around 19 years ago.
We are Peace, Bliss.
Beneath the armor of worries and insecurity we are calm and blissful. 
When we become aware of our thoughts, worries and realize that we suffer not because of what is really happening, but how we judge these thoughts, happening, than can we make a conscious CHOICE not to entertain these thoughts. Or judge them as positive or negative. Let these thoughts be passing clouds and realize that when you think something joyful than you feel better. Which means we can't rely or let the mind run wild. Have it under your control. Choose positive thoughts. Substitute the worrying thoughts with positive vibrations. Like mantras..which stands for manas and tras......mind and protection. Protect your mind with positive vibrations. I use a lot the sound of creation...OM. And every time i do this in times of big worry thoughts, i am able to detached from the moment of worry and be free and happy again. It shows that our mind feels what we think and visa versa. This realization has given me so much strength and ability to rise above chaos and difficult situations. Namaste . Blessings for all of us in times of hardship, chaos, despair. We are Divinely guided and never alone. The Light and Wisdom is within Us to guide us always back in our true essence of Peace and Bliss Absolute. 

Let Love Be Free

LET LOVE BE FREE...Today this beautiful girl came to the yoga class all prepared with her yoga clothes. She tells me on the way to the class that she brought this special t shirt, because she knows i will love it.........Children are still so connected to the Truth and Love....I am so in love with her and so blessed and grateful for these special loving moments with them.. . The Sweetness of children is the best feeling , because the I in me knows it is free and unconditional.The I in you knows it too.Blessing to all children at heart...We are One; Namaste

To Let Love be Free we need to stay free of conditions, ego desires and give ourself over,surrender to the wisdom and light of the Divine, which is the Essence within ourself.Surrender is an act of letting go through which we become the perfect vessel for the Truth and Love to shine through. Become aware of your thoughts and desires in daily moments of life and every time you observe that your ego is craving or desiring learn to release and just stay open and free in an empty mind so open for the Divine to be heard clearly. The practice of meditation helps tremendously to stay free and in the moment and not get lost in our desires which if they are not desires of truth , peace, bliss bring us pain and suffering..<3 

Surrender to this Moment

We all want to be happy, safe forever. We look for this lasting happening in the outside things of our lives. Family, work, hobbies, sex,love, drugs. A moment to escape the scary reality that we are not in control of the things that happen to us most of the time. I have found that through learning to put my focus inward through yoga, meditation , i have found an eternal place within , where peace and the result of peace , Joy, is ALWAYS there for me . A Sacred Dwelling place, space to be able to access at all times. This is a powerful realization and it has made me more secure and less dependent of things, situations. Its like finding, surrendering into this peaceful seat within and with yourself , which nobody , nothing can ever take away. This is true Freedom

We are Warriors of Peace

The Peaceful Warrior
Our armor is Strength, Endurance, Vision
Courage,Faith,Wisdom,Willpower 
Grand us inner Spiritual Strength 
Overcoming the temptations of the I in ourself
The battle will end when the Mind is Self Restraint
Let us sing your glories
Let us abide in you forever
The Peace pipe will glow
Your medals are earned patiently
Compassion, Forgiveness, Contentment
I give up my inner struggle
For this Peace of Mind

You are that precious child, light. You deserve your own love for yourself. In case you feel unworthy of love, because of some traumatic event that happenend in your Life.

The Divine Lotus flower, Thousand Petal Lotus

The Divine Lotus Flower; Sahasrara Crown Chakra,
The thousand-petaled lotus signifies spiritual illumination. In this case, each opening of the petal is the gradual unfolding of the consciousness on the path of enlightenment. Sharanam Yoga, Healing through Surrender

The specific yogic teaching that addresses energy centers within the human being, known as the chakra system, uses a lotus with varied numbers of petals to represent each particular chakra. The crown chakra is the thousand-petaled lotus, and so its blossoming indicates enlightenment.

The Buddhist mantra "Om mani padme hum" refers to the "jewel in the lotus," which represents enlightenment. It is claimed that this mantra has great mystical power, with transcendental truth in its words.

In buddhist and hindu writings, it is explained that "Om mani padme hum" [O Jewel in the Lotus Flower] "signifies not only the jewel of man's divinity living within the lotus (the cosmos), but also the jewel of cosmic divinity living within the lotus (man). In other words, the mantra is saying, "I am in You and You are in me," thereby stating the unity and brotherhood of all beings, as well as their inner divine potential. This is one way of expressing the principle of "As above, so below."

Om mani padme hum - O Jewel in the Lotus Flower
Om mani padme hum - O Jewel in the Lotus Flower
Om mani padme hum - O Jewel in the Lotus Flower
In spiritual literature from many sources, the lotus is a symbol for the macrocosm and the microcosm, the universe and man. The jewel in the lotus represents the divinity of the cosmos as well as the divinity of man.

Look into the center and feel your inner unfolding into the Light you are, we are ..Namaste, here we are One 

The Human Soul is driven by desire of a loving Relationship

A relationship between two people creates a new being.The entity that is formed by the union of forces of two distinctive personalities. When two people combine their unique emotional, mental and spiritual qualities in a harmonious fusion, the blend of their forces can create a soul elixer of happiness. Love is the alchemical spark that ignites two hearts with the same inner fire.
There are three attitudes in particular that can help immensely in establishing and maintaining healthy relationships.ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, APPRECIATION, ADMIRATION.
When partners can express admiration for each other's best qualities, their relationship becomes fruitful and harmonious.They help eachother to grow and become stronger.To see the Divine Spark in another.The eastern science of Tantra Yoga is an effort to perceive the Divine in one's partner.The way to lift relationships on to a higher plane is to be able to see the deeper self in the one we love.In this way we can lift our perceptions from the commonplace to the poetic; the dimension of wonder and admiration. 
The secret magic of these three attitudes is that they can cause a great transformation in ourself and others. Expressing these qualities is like tapping into a fountain of enthusiasm and HEALING LIGHT that spreads goodwill and harmony."Emory John Michael"

It builds trust. And through this we can relax and open ourself. In this opening true union can take place.Only when we feel safe can the making love really be Divine.


Sharanam Yoga's mission is to get to the inner part of ourself through the releasing opening force of Surrender, Sharanam.In the state of being completely open, relaxed can we become again in alignment with our divinity...eternal peace, joy. Through the surrendering release used in the yogaposes ,you will feel the life-energy that permeates all things animate and inanimate. Discover the gems of knowledge that lie hidden deep in the reaches of your soul. Awaken the free and transcendent spirit within you. Come to feel, experience your Lightness, your Health , Your Love through maintaining Balance and Vitality.

Om Mani Padme Hum....Protection Mantra

Om Mani Padme Hum...'Om Mani Padme Hum' (translation: 'Hail the jewel in the lotus') is a six syllable invocation (mantra) of Avlokitesvara, one who is invoked as the Protector from danger. It is claimed that one who recites this mantra will be saved from all dangers and will be protected. This mantra is widely used in Mahayana Buddhism. One can find this mantra inscribed on rocks, prayer wheels, stupa walls, loose stones heaped as Mani (jewels) on roads, paths, mountain passes, the approaches and exits of villages. One can find this Mantra inscribed outwardly in the prayer wheels with millions of this mantra inscribed on paper inside the prayer wheels. The devotee turning one round of the prayer wheel means he recites this mantra millions of times. As this mantra is thought to save one from all dangers.I like to use this mantra a lot myself, at home and in my yogaclasses..enjoyhttp://youtu.be/iG_lNuNUVd4

We are Angels..Gods Messenger

To be yoga and being in self observation, self awareness in equanimity, without judgement, total unconditional love through which we increase self knowledge is the ultimate goal of living. i feel that to see a change in our humanity we have to make a shift in ourself first. Than family, friends and slowly community, humanity. To think to create a shift with out shifting inwardly first doesnt make any sense. To be able to solve the problems we are in in the world, which mostly come from greed, fear is to first relate within ourself to get rid of our own greed, fear. When we constantly competing to be something , to become something we relate with others in competition, which doesnt make a peaceful relationship. We also compete with ourself. We feel we have to better, we should have more money, we should have a better position , job. We should become aware of us doing this inwardly. Than when we have the courage to admit to this doing, we can get rid of it by just saying I AM OK AS IS...i will rise above my desires and just keep observing everything as IS.....no becoming...just as IS...Here we are ready to be an instrument for Divinity to speak through us...Guiding us in everlasting Peace and Freedom..We are all angels made in the image of the Divine.....Lets enjoy our angel wings and fly Free...Only in the moment , when we can accept what IS ....enjoy flying Angels 

Divine Sweetness in Accepting what IS

What makes us suffer is not what is really happening in the moment , but the thought, that we dont want or like this happening .If we could just trust that whatever is happening is in the the Divine Knowing, than we can find peace with the happening.This doesnt mean that we dont experience pain, but this is different than suffering.Lets become aware of our own thoughts and how we judge and try to change the reality.Lets stay in the moment and when we see we try to control or go crazy in the feeling of helplessness, let it go...we are never helpless..we are in divine control..especially when we feel out of control. I feel, that if we can live the moments of out of control or helplessness, and stay calm ..than we have come a long way. Than we are Masters..living the peace in duality .....which is life..I feel that when we feel in control is just that whatever is happening in our lives is going according our comfort zone. Because in reality we are very out of control . We just feel it strong , when painful experiences get us out of our comfort zone. what is in our control is how we react or act in the moments of feeling out of control, helpless.If it is hard to just sit and observe and accept the moment as IS, than use this as a bridge ....Keep the mind occupied with positive thoughts, chant positive vibrations....sitting with it and just observing how the mind is running wild is the practice to real freedom....but for me it works at time to distract my own thinking, which is mostly colored by my , our past and preconceived ideas, believes put upon us by our parents, churches, religions ..it works well as a bridge to chant and get out of my mind trapped in that mode..but ultimately if we can truly sit and just observe is the ultimate freedom..We can do it..Everything changes and bad experiences later turn out to be blessings into our Soul Light

Namaste

In every Precious Moment

Happy Mothers Day...We are Nurturers at Heart

Devoted Mothers are instinctual Nurturers. I remember helping my mothers friends when they had given birth.I walked the newborns in their beautiful old fashioned carriages around in my neighborhood.Then when i was around 10 years i was taken on the holidays of my parents friends to baby sit and play with their children. Loving to be around children continued even when i was in my early twenties traveling around the world as a model. I remember preferring to play with the children of my friends than to have conversations with the so called grown ups.You could find me playing with the children in the garden, reading to them, rolling around. I so preferred to play than than to have conversations about nothing that really matters or evolves around the truth . Children are so honest, authentic, open. 
I feel very blessed to have been blessed with the opportunity to be a Mom for my own children in the way that i feel is the right way. To be able to have the time, focus, attention, love and to be there for them, when they need me. Its been a true dedication all the way.
When my first born was around 18 month , i was asked if i would like to do mommy and me yoga classes and kids yoga classes . And i have been doing this now since 2000. Every day i am still around children and their beauty of openness, authenticity. Looking back now a few days before mothers day 2014 , i can truly say that i am a nurturer at heart and will say that every devoted mother is. We as Mothers are the first teacher our children have and when we come from a selfless loving place we set a beautiful example for our children to live by. Happy Birthday Mothers. Keep it up and remember the Divine mission we have. Showing, Living, Giving unconditional love to our children and the world at large and dont forget to nurture yourself. Nurture your deep feelings, your believes , your dreams. Listen to the whispers of your Heart. 
Namaste, we are One

White Buffalo Calf Woman to instill Harmony into your relationships and for world Peace

White Buffalo Calf Woman is a prophetess who appeared to the Lakota Native Americans. She presented the Lakotas with a special pipe to amplify the power of their prayers and to bridge a connection between Earth and Heaven. As she turned to leave the tribe, she turned into a buffalo of different colors to signify the unity of all races of humanity. She promised that she would return to help bring unity and peace to Earth. The sign of her return would be the birth of a white buffalo calf. 

Call upon White Buffalo Calf Woman to instill harmony into your relationships and for world peace.

Sharanam Yoga is learning the Art of Reposing in Oneself...Non Doing...Yield to Overcome

I am founder of Sharanam Yoga, which mission is Healing through Surrender. Here Surrender means yield to overcome , the power of non resistance . So well described by Eckhart Tolle . Enjoy.
Yield to Overcome: The Power of Nonresistance....Nonresistance doesn’t necessarily mean doing nothing. All it means is that any “doing” becomes nonreactive. Remember the deep wisdom underlying the practice of Eastern martial arts: Don’t resist the opponent’s force. Yield to overcome.

Having said that, “doing nothing” when you are in a state of intense presence is a very powerful transformer and healer of situations and people. In Taoism, there is a term called wu wei, which is usually translated as “actionless activity” or “sitting quietly doing nothing.” In ancient China, this was regarded as one of the highest achievements or virtues. It is radically different from inactivity in the ordinary state of consciousness, or rather unconsciousness, which stems from fear, inertia, or indecision. The real “doing nothing” implies inner nonresistance and intense alertness.

On the other hand, if action is required, you will no longer react from your conditioned mind, but you will respond to the situation out of your conscious presence. In that state, your mind is free of concepts, including the concept of non- violence. So who can predict what you will do?

The ego believes that in your resistance lies your strength, whereas in truth resistance cuts you off from Being, the only place of true power. Resistance is weakness and fear masquerading as strength. What the ego sees as weakness is your Being in its purity, innocence, and power. What it sees as strength is weakness. So the ego exists in a continuous resistance-mode and plays counterfeit roles to cover up your “weakness,” which in truth is your power.

Until there is surrender, unconscious role-playing constitutes a large part of human interaction. In surrender, you no longer need ego defenses and false masks. You become very simple, very real. “That’s dangerous,” says the ego. “You’ll get hurt. You’ll become vulnerable.” What the ego doesn’t know, of course, is that only through the letting go of resistance, through becoming “vulnerable,” can you discover your true and essential invulnerability.

Excerpted from Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now, pages 215-216

Kissing the third eye Awake

Rays of fresh crisp streams of light
Kissing the third eye awake
New ideas, new beginnings
The sweet little new born lambs are hopping freely 
Excited by the opportunity of experiencing 
their innocence and joyfulness 
In the meadows of everlasting green peace
Yellow Hyacinths peaking curious out the cold winter earth
Knowing it is safe to face Reality
Sweet enlightening Spring
So charming and courageous in the same time
It says "I have the right to be "
Melting snow coming down the mountain tops
Rivers of fearful being purified into fearlessness
Now is the moment to wake up
The winter sleep of darkness is over
Allow the graceful wind softly caressing ignorance
away into your full potential of Light and Truth

Sharanam, Surrender is the complete renunciation of his works to the Supreme Will

Sharanam , Surrender is a progressive self abandonment but with the most intense actuality of dynamic self giving, the complete renunciation of his works to the Supreme Will.

By degrees his mind of an imperfect human intelligence will be replaced by a spiritual and illumined mind and that can in the end enter into the supramental Truth -Light; he will then no longer act from his nature of Ignorance with its three modes of confused and imperfect activity, but from a diviner nature of spiritual calm, light, power and bliss. Act only as the conscious instrument of the eternal Worker. No longer giving the sanction, he will rather receive in his instruments and follow in her hands a divine mandate. No longer doing works, he will accept their execution through him by her unsleeping Force. No longer willing the fulfillment of his own mental constructions and the satisfaction of his own emotional desires, he will obey and participate in an omnipotent Will that is also and omniscient knowledge and a mysterious , magical, and unfathomable Love and vast bottomless sea of the eternal Bliss of Existence ; Sri Aurobindo

Destroyer of all diseases is called the Fish Pose

Dive into Fish Pose to find endless healing properties inspired by the vast ocean. Fish Pose or Matsyasana is traditionally known as the “destroyer of all diseases” because of its many benefits. The stress of the day and slumping over in a chair or in a car, can take a toll on the back, neck, and shoulders. Create physical opening in the back, neck, and shoulder area in Fish Pose, and reinstate a feeling of balance, feeling more grounded, and allowing us to feel confident and open to new experiences and people that pass in and out of our lives.

The benefits of Fish Pose include: expanding and opening in the chest and the ribcage, expanding the lung capacity, stretching the hip flexors, strengthening the muscles in the neck and back, relieving pressure on the nerves, stretching the throat and the belly, promoting good posture and stimulating the thyroid and parathyroid glands (endocrine glands helping to regulate metabolism, growth, and sleep patterns).

To do the fish pose. Come and lay on your back...measure your straight arms touching your outer thighs...press your elbows down into the earth, mat, while you lift the chest up , opening the heart and bend your head back, touching the crown of the head with the mat, earth as comfortable as possible.Measure your hands again against your thighs, which will make sure that your shoulders are away from your ears and relaxed .......breath fully in your lungs, who can draw now more prana, life force into itself, because of the opening you have created in the pose ..breath calmly in and out of your nose...point your toes down and feel like the fish floating the waters of deep consciousness.....enjoy and feel yourself in the pose.....namaste Jennieke Janaki 

Inner Strength and conquer Fear.

The image of a sturdy tree, such as a Oak tree offers an ideal focus to help you get in touch with your inner strength and conquer fear. This picture helps to ground you, surrender, sharanam in time and space, bringing deep calm and the assurance that you have the resources to survive any experience.......Then to release old self images and to inspire new ways of being to emerge, mentally repeat these affirmations.....i have the strength to endure the upheavals of life......i am grounded and secure.....I embody courage....I draw sustenance from the world around me.....Namaste 

Freedom...Doors of Clear Perception

Which door will open next....behind every door is a different reality...thats why it is important to make decisions with a peaceful, balanced mind...a mind in a state of Yoga..which Patanjali describes as the ability to direct the mind exclusively towards an object and sustain that direction without any distraction. (Sutra 1.2 ). As long as this state is not realized , man cannot link with the Truth, God, Supreme Knowing.His senses cannot be restrained.Instability in succes."
Relax your mind through the mind releasing force of Surrender, Sharanam.
