With the power of Now on to happiness. What more do you want? (ePub)

At the time I wrote the first edition of this book I felt certain I had found the philosopher's stone. "It's not so bad if dreams do not come true. But it's terrible if one doesn't even try to make them come true." I'd had an engineer's degree and my own company, yet I was a man seriously ill from burnout. I came close to death several times. For a short period of time I was living on the street. I became an energy teacher and healer, a musician, the founder of the Vesseling Energy School (www.vesseling.de), and an energy consultant much in demand by the business and art world. What I have experienced was the real-life story of phoenix rising from the ashes. Wikipedia: "In Greek mythology, a phoenix (Ancient Greek f¿¿¿¿¿ phóinix) is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. ...In his study of the phoenix, R. van der Broek summarizes, that, in the historical record, the phoenix could symbolize renewal in general..." In 2002 I had hit rock bottom, only to rise from my ashes into a normal life again. Based on this experience I instituted the course system of Vesseling teaching, which has inspired and given (more) strength to thousands of people. I am convinced that I am holding the key to my happiness in my own hands, and that everyone is capable of finding their own key. My journey and my quests have taken me to some of the most remote places on this earth, brought me together with some unusual people, led me to altitudes of over 4,000 meters when travelling in South America - until I eventually realized that, after all, none of these travels could actually help me: only I could help myself! So, during the last ten years (now being 2013) an Energy, Meditation and Vision School was created from this process, a school that offers people a tool towards helping themselves by using the power of Now, through which life-enriching visions can be nurtured. Taking this path is worth it, you can trust me on this. I am living proof of the things I and my assistants teach. During the period 2008-2012 I composed a total of six music albums. In 2005 the first edition of this book became a bestseller. Ten years ago, I wouldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd be authoring a book, singing in front of an audience, giving lectures, becoming a vision teacher or managing a team of over 100 assistants. I was not far from the gutter! I have always dreamt of being able to do all these things, but I would never have accomplished them without following the process taught in the Energy School. But that's enough of self-advertising. Reading this book, you can find out for yourself if Vesseling could inspire you to find "your thing" in life. I know that for me, "my thing", my passion, in life is to work with other people. What kind of visions do you have? None? Ok, then it is time to create some. www.vesseling.de/englisch
