When I do energy readings, I regularly see the person in question as an ‘illuminated being’.
You could call it their Soul – who knows? – but I consider it mainly ‘the immense energy field’ of that person, which shines brightly. Needless to say that I would treat them respectfully, with a lot of humbleness. And sometimes I realise how immense our own energy field is, our true origin.

Gift

I did some sessions for her, my friend from Hong Kong – the musical actress. Someone whom I consider not only creative and talented, but also very intuitive. So once she told me about her gift that she could picture – sense – how kids would look like in their future life, as an adult, including their profession. And I found it intriguing obviously. She even shared something about a kid she knew closely, which was quite dramatic by the way – but that’s a different story. Recently she told me that she had ‘kinda lost’ that ability, mainly because she didn’t want to sense it anymore. And apparently the Universe likes to respond to such a wish, if it isn’t for someone’s highest good.

Dim A Bit

Anyways – for the sake of this story – since I was doing these sessions for her, she decided to do something similar one day. And with me. So she did a meditation, and in that state of being, she reached out to me. She was calling: “Chris, Chris, where are you? Could you show up for me? As your Soul.” Nothing happened, until she realized that this huge light started to shine over her. And it was so bright that she couldn’t look into it. “Dude, could you dim your light a bit?”, she said, according to her. “I mean, I can’t even look at you!” So she just kept ‘her face’ down, in order not to be blinded by this light.

“I guess it was you”, she told me afterwards. So I had to laugh and I was joking to her: “Well, since you were blinded by this Soul’s light, it must have been me.” And my pride and ego were fed as well. “Yeah, sure”, she replied. “At least I know this is you, because of the way you are chatting”, she joked back to me. It was just funny – but interesting at the same time.

Energy

My point is that we are all so much bigger than we think. Our energy alone floods already over the boundaries of our body, and our light is even more than incredibly immense – it outshines the light that we visibly can see, so I believe. Some say that we are here, on earth, to know ourselves, to experience ourselves. And in order to do so, we have to become limited; aware of our limitations, our boundaries – apart from our duality on this planet. But on top of that we can also outgrow our limitations to become something new; a new personality, a new self, with new experiences.

Champions League

One of the reasons why I wanted to write this blog, got to do with the Champions League final – yeah, football. Maybe not the most spiritual event at first glance, but bear with me. The coach of one of the teams, Luis Enrique, is a former Spanish football player with many successes. And he had played for big teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As a coach he won the Champions League 10 years ago, with one of the teams he had played for: F.C. Barcelona. It was one of his biggest successes, if not the biggest – especially as a coach. So the fans of Barcelona were so proud and grateful of course, and the newspapers were all over the place about this great victory. Articles everywhere, pictures all over the internet. And some of the pictures stood out to me – and I guess to many people. Like the one in which Luis Enrique was planting a big flag of F.C. Barcelona in the middle of the actual football pitch, right after the final, while his little daughter – at the age of 5 – was standing close to him and observing him. Also one in which she was cheering with him, holding this big flag of Barcelona, while her dad was watching her. Luis Enrique’s happiness and proud got even bigger, I guess. And not just because of winning this European Cup, but because he was celebrating it with his little daughter. Totally feeling his love for her, celebrating with her. You could tell by the look on his face.

Very Sad News

But then it got wrong – well, some years later. They got very sad news, because the little girl got bone cancer. Luis Enrique was of course devasted, and that much that he wanted to quit his then job as the coach of the Spanish national team – which he did. The girl lost her fight against cancer unfortunately, and she died that same year. Four years after the celebration, and after the memorable picture in which her dad was planting the F.C. Barcelona flag, while being watched by his little girl, who was wearing a Barcelona shirt.

After some months of mourning Luis Enrique decided to take up coaching again, as the national team’s coach, and later he ended up being the coach of Paris Saint German – till the present moment. According to him his little girl is often with him, in spirit, and he had one goal in mind: winning the Champions League one more time, for his little, late sweetheart.

Paris Saint Germain

To get to the present moment: last week he won the Champions League again, as a coach, for the 2nd time. This time with Paris Saint Germain. The club that had spent billions on international players for many years in order to win this cup – the crème de la crème – but never succeeded. Yet, this year – with Luis Enrique in his second year as a coach – they finally managed it. And thus for the very first time.

Emotional

To be honest, I was supporting the opponent of PSG: Internazionale from Milan. And I didn’t know this story about his girl. But once I knew about it – after the game – I had to shed many tears. I got so emotional; I could feel his lost and his connection with the little girl at the same time. It changed my perspective totally. Now I could only be happy for him, and this beautiful event. Especially because some fans of Paris Saint Germain had – way before the the final – fabricated a huge banner, a huge cloth, in which their coach was pictured with his little girl. But this time he was planting a flag of Paris Saint Germain into the football pitch, with his daughter by his side; her wearing a shirt of the Parisian football club, with her name on it. So she was there, in the stands with the fans, to celebrate with them – and more importantly: with her dad, Luis Enrique.

In Spirit

That moment with his little girl in Berlin, with F.C. Barcelona, meant so much to him. And this moment in Munich, with Paris Saint Germain, was likewise; or maybe even more. Cause – according to him – she may not have been there with him in person, but she was there with him spiritually. “And that is so valuable for me”, so he said.

Don’t think there was any need for Luis Enrique to reach out, to shout out loud, for his daughter in spirit – as a Soul – because she was already there with him, on the football pitch. Shining her brightest light on him, whether he would win the game or not. But his victory in the Champions League final did make it even more special, with the touching banner in the stadium, shown all around the world. Yeah, some things are just bigger than life.
