Relationships
The weekend I spent doing the dialogues was a fantastic experience for me. It allowed me to work on some deep issues in relation to a close friend, and to feel in my own body how I was perceived by others, and how I could shift and become more clear and present, in a compassionate way, without making others wrong. This has really helped me a lot in my relationships.

Dialogue from your heart with children
The morning after the workshop I put your teachings right into practice. And something beautiful happened with my young kids. I did not even need a lot of time to talk, young children are so much more intelligent than we adults make them out to be. They caught on within seconds. For the first time in a long time, we had a most relaxing and peaceful morning right before going off to their school. I couldn't believe it... not one argument, not one annoying moment, not one spark of stress. They were so lovely to me but
especially to each other. Thank you for inspiring me to this new start!

Speaking from your Heart
The extraordinary thing about the Dialogue from your heart is that you to talk to someone else in a very connected way, which gives you insights into the underlying motives and emotions of others as well as yourself. This clarifies why certain relationships are the way they are. Why does someone respond in the way that they do? Why do I respond in the way that I do? What is behind all this? Which feeling? What is this feeling trying to tell me? By not excluding yourself from a situation and by saying whatever arises in me, in a very uncensored way, brings exceptional revelations. It has been life changing for me and already some very toilsome relationships have changed. This offers me the possibility to have understanding for others as well as myself in a relationship and it takes away the sharp edges.

Living from your heart
Through the exercise of the Mental Bypass you completely strip restricting emotions from the brand that you give to them yourself. Subsequently you allow the feeling in all its intensity, which brings you to experience that a feeling is nothing more and nothing less than a physical sensation. By allowing this feeling to be, without judging it, you learn to listen to it. When you are able to see through all the association you have regarding this feeling and wait for it to say what it needs to say, you discover the underlying beliefs. This brings a lot of clarity and insights into the reoccurrence of emotions. And growth starts with insights…
To me this means that I have learned to deal with reoccurring emotions. I have understood what the underlying beliefs are and I have learned that those feelings and beliefs, whether they be positive or negative, can just be there. They don’t need to be judged, they don’t need to be dissolved, they only need to be seen. Just giving them attention is enough. Through this I also realized that the feelings and responses of people around me are also allowed to just be there. Just like mine, these don’t need to change, they just need to be seen. This offers me acceptance for what is. And this give me peace, a lot of peace, and that is ALL that I want.

I attended a 3-day workshop with Janaki and it was my first time. Ab-so-lutely fabulous!!!
What she offers through her work methods and exercises almost appeared like a blend of Gestalt, family constellations and energetic bodywork, only with a superlative degree.

It resulted for me in the fact that now I know what I want in my connection to my mother. Through the methods and exercises that Janaki works with I can now see that I have the courage to take the next step.
And this is what I love about her approach, in every moment everything simply appears the way it appears, and can be is different for every person.

Soap bubbles
All sense of pressure and 'should' has gone from my life. When I notice that a thought is painful, then I stop and look at it, with a surrender and willingness to experience it fully. This produces a silence within me as I am watching it. the funny thing is that the painful thoughts no longer stick around for a very long time, and it has become almost impossible to believe them.
They are like soap bubbles. Beautiful to watch, and if you stick your finger in them they disperse. It seems that I no longer direct my energy towards painful and confusing thoughts. All that is left is wonderful stories that I can enjoy. And 'enjoy' is my favorite word at the moment.
And it is not if only 'positive' things happen to me. My partner left me and won't speak to me anymore. Recently on a vacation I lost a purse with all my credit cards, cell phone and passport. Recently I was diagnosed with a serious illness.
And the only thing I can see is how it all sets me free. I have a new boy friend, a wonderful new circle of friends and lots of ideas for new projects.
I don't need to decide anything. Everything does itself. There is Total relaxation and a wonderful sense of trust that the next step shall be taken in the moment it reveals itself. This means that I have a lot of time to play, and I love playing.
Janaki is very free. She has no mission and she just trusts the process. She offers The Work as a reference in her workshops, and within that she creates this amazing space, filled with the awareness that nothing needs to change, nothing needs to be achieved, nothing is right or wrong, and the freedom to live life without shame or guilt. Her way of being gives me the space and the freedom to be who or what I am.
Put in one word: fearless living; and if something else arises than there is the willingness to look at it and question it.
