Q: May I speak to Melanie’s Higher Self? Followers have asked questions that we would like to share today. One question is, no matter how I try and believe, I find it difficult to connect with my heart. Is there an effective method that would be recommended here?
M: A connection is not necessary because the connection is always there. If you feel like the connection isn’t there, that’s what separates you, so to speak.
Q: Just the feeling that a separation is there?
M: Leads to the belief in it, yes.
Q: And how can you remove this belief? This belief that the connection is broken?
M: By replacing that belief.
Q: Which belief would be helpful?
M: The desire to be connected is all that is needed, not the attempt to be connected. The attempt comes from a different awareness.
Q: So a possible formulation would be: ‘I am connected to my heart’?
M: I am always connected to my heart and can always trust its guidance.
Q: I am always connected to my heart and can always trust its guidance. Would it perhaps also be helpful, for example, to look for a beautiful memory where this feeling of happiness comes up and that you then say at that moment, I am connecting with my heart?
M: You can use an external aid to activate this feeling of love when you are too full of other things or too busy in your head. This feeling of love, when you connect with your heart, is like an activation, and then you go into it, so to speak, and let it spread. It’s not so much something that someone has to seek, but rather to live, to feel, to surrender.
Q: Surrender, thank you very much. Another follower asked the following question: what is the biggest way to make an impact in this world? Is there a general answer to this very broad question?
M: The simplest answer is to follow your heart and what brings you joy and to have the courage to follow it, regardless of how others may see it. This courage strengthens the connection and you can continue on your path.
Q: So the courage to not pay so much attention to the opinions of others and simply do what brings you joy and always be there with your heart?
M: Exactly, and to concentrate on your own development and let go of the aspects that no longer serve you.
Q: How do you recognise aspects are no longer useful to you, the old aspects?
M: Every time someone feels small, constricted or realises that the voices of others have more weight than their own voices, they let go of one and focus on the other and so they move further away from themselves. Everyone has to find their own truth.
Q: And what is the most effective approach for personal development in general?
M: The answer is always love, to love yourself, to love all aspects of yourself, because then you become your whole self.
Q: So self-love?
M: Yes, and in letting go of layers that are not yourself.
Q: And how did these layers stick to you?
M: If you believe in them, they can stick to you.
Q: And where do these layers come from?
M: Through unresolved unloved parts in yourself, because if there is a lack of love, it can be filled with anything else.
Q: If you aim for the greatest possible benefit for the community or the goal is the well-being of the community, if you look at the big picture, what approach should you take here?
M: No one can see the big picture. Humans are too limited for that and that’s why the heart represents this beautiful connection, even if you can’t understand it, you can trust it and follow it.
Q: If you want to further your personal development, is there any approach that you can take to get the most out of your personal development?
M: If the intention is really pure, then it develops organically out of the situation. You don’t need to do anything else. People have this tendency to like to make everything complicated.
Q: What is the basis of an ideal development? Or what would be the ideal development?
M: The word ideal development has a component of misdirection, where a so-called bad development stands in contrast to it. That’s not relevant here. It is to gain experience and to grow as a soul. There is no ideal development. Development is the nature of all beings. It is experiences, experiences that allow each individual to grow and become more, to become more of themselves, when they find themselves in new circumstances, in new experiences. So there is no ideal development, but the attitude of how someone approaches it is either more helpful to move forward or limits people in their old beliefs.
Q: What would be a helpful attitude? And what would be a hindering attitude in order to develop further?
M: A helpful attitude would be to connect with your heart, with what gives you a feeling of peace, of love, of calm, and to approach events with this pure intention. An unhelpful development would be to see yourself as a small person and think that you have to get somewhere in order to achieve something. Because everyone already has everything within them, it’s just a matter of letting go again.
Q: Is self-love perhaps even more important here than love?
M: From this perspective, self-love and love are exactly the same thing. Because we are all one. And that’s why it’s often easier for people to start with self-love, because people like to separate the love they feel for themselves and the love they feel for others. But love is love, there is no separation.
Q: Does that mean that if a decision is made out of love, which at first may be perceived as negative for someone else, but in reality it could bring them closer to themselves?
M: Exactly, that’s why intention is so important. Intention sets the energy with which something is approached, if that makes sense.
Q: So it’s all about the intention, how pure the intention is and whether the intention is aimed at love?
M: Exactly. Is the intention to unite something or to separate something? To bring something together or to bring something apart?
Q: Thank you. Then we have another question. What helps highly sensitive people who are trapped and blocked in their victim role and don’t realise their potential? What can help them?
M: Changing their perspective on how they see their sensitivity. Sensitivity is a wonderful gift. It allows people to feel more, see more, perceive more. In the early stages people are often overwhelmed by how they can bring it all together, just that’s part of their refinement if you like, until there comes a point where they have to decide whether they want to fully embrace that sensitivity and open up further or whether they want to continue to hide behind it.
Q: And what if people who tend to be very sensitive are also trapped in a victim role and are inevitably blocked as a result, which then leads to them not being able to realise their potential? Is there anything that could help these people?
M: To really let go of this idea that they can be a victim of something. Nobody is a victim. All experiences, no matter what, serve. It’s an opportunity for people to evolve. It’s presented to them every time as an option and then they have the option to continue to grow or to stay in that energy field that they’re in at that time.
Q: So it’s a choice to perceive yourself as a victim, if I understand correctly?
M: That’s the choice people make when they want to see themselves as victims. Seeing yourself as a victim is a technique where you give away your own power and you are not aware of your power anymore.
Q: So, perceiving yourself as a victim blocks you and props up your wings?
M: Exactly, it’s a stage of development for sensitives that they have to go through in order to refine their gifts, to strengthen themselves more.
Q: Does this feeling of victimisation have anything to do with the inner child, where you are powerless, where you can’t yet take responsibility for yourself? Would it be useful to work with your inner child in order to make progress and free yourself from this attitude?
M: For some, this can be absolutely helpful if the origin lies in childhood. For others, it’s more likely to be something that they put in front of themselves so that they don’t have to move on.
Q: So it’s a kind of decision?
M: Exactly, it’s always a choice.
Q: And why do people tend to choose not to move on? Is it fear of change?
M: It’s always fear of the unknown and a lack of trust in oneself and the universe.
Q: Would the way out of this be to be courageous and always step into the unknown?
M: That’s a key component, if you like.
Q: Fear and courage are very much connected. So, when I feel fear, I can see it as an opportunity to develop courage. Fear of change, fear of stepping out of yourself, stepping out of your comfort zone so to speak, seeing your own part. To simply say, I also have responsibility, I am not free of all guilt, so to speak. So this attitude, to see your own part, to have the courage to be honest, to accept it, to step out of this attitude. So would it be helpful for these people to recognise that they see themselves as victims?
M: This recognition is important so that they can change this. Because as long as they identify as victims, they are giving away their power and will not be able to recognise and develop this strength within themselves.
Q: That means recognising it as such and then finally tackling it, shaking it off, no longer seeing yourself as a victim, but simply having the courage to break out of this old pattern, whatever it is.
M: Yes, the desire to break out of the old, but then also the courage to make the changes that are necessary to do so.
Q: But that requires a lot of reflection in order to really see where do I need to start, where do I need to be courageous, where do I need to step out of my comfort zone and how do I then get the right thoughts to lead me there. So reflection is the be-all and end-all? Without reflection, you don’t recognise yourself as a victim and therefore don’t see the problem or the need to change anything?
M: Yes.
Q: What happens to your own energy when you turn to other people for help or advice that claim to be so-called experts?
M: That depends on the intention with which you approach them.
Q: If you are absolutely helpless and desperate and seek advice and support from those around you, or turn to so-called experts, what happens to your own energy?
M: When this happens out of a state of desperation, people often tend to accept the truths of others rather than their own. And in that case, depending on who these people are addressing, it can be helpful. But what comes through above all is an overlapping of energies and an interference with one’s own energy and the neutrality of the energy, which is no longer guaranteed as a result. In this respect, we would say that it can be very helpful if a person can see it as another possible perspective, but not accept it as truth and thereby doubt themselves, especially if it represents a different opinion to their own. Because in desperation, people often try to find quick solutions…
Q: You then grasp at any straw. Is it then the case that your own state of energy sometimes also influences who you turn to? In the sense that they are more likely to be attracted to certain experts who are precisely on that frequency of fear?
M: This creates even more fear and even more uncertainty and even more need to ask for other opinions.
Q: Does it possibly also influence the choice of experts when you are in this anxiety frequency? What is the decisive factor that leads to this meeting?
M: It depends on everyone. It’s not that you attract the wrong or bad expert, not at all. It’s a possibility if a question attracts you, but it’s not a necessity.
Q: So it can, but doesn’t have to be the case that you attract very specific people when you are in this rather low, fearful frequency?
M: No, that doesn’t have to be the case at all. When you’re in this low frequency, you’re much more willing to put on other hats and that’s what it’s all about, finding your own compass. And anyone who helps you find your own compass can be seen as helpful. Others who only want to present their beliefs to others, less so in this case.
Q: So in other words helping people to help themselves is good.
M: That feels more coherent.
Q: We would like to talk about the concept of karma. The concept of karma is widespread here on earth. What can be shared about it?
M: Karma seems to be becoming a very popular concept at the moment, with a lot of misunderstandings.
Q: So it’s being misinterpreted?
M: Definitely by some, yes, just wrong and right is less relevant here. From this perspective, it is always relevant to consider what leads you to more growth, to further development and what leads you to stagnation or regression. And sometimes meeting what is known in human terms as a ‘wrong person’ can be exactly the catalyst you need to move forward. What we’re saying is, it’s not black and white, if that makes sense.
Q: Does that mean that experiences take us further in life? Regardless of whether we judge them as positive or negative?
M: Exactly, judgement represents a human component and in the spiritual perspective the experience itself is regarded as the relevant component.
Q: Karma often goes hand in hand with the belief that if you didn’t lead a selfless life in a previous life and also did some negative things, you will experience more bitter times in the next life. Is that true?
M: That is exactly one of these misconceptions of karma.
Q: What is the reason that this misconception has become so widespread? Where does it have its roots?
M: The essence of it is that the information is initially pure information, a pure concept. Only people like to appropriate concepts and then make them too personal and by making them so personal and clinging to them, they start to lose the nuance and that’s how positive, negative, good and bad are created. These concepts are irrelevant, it’s experience and refinement.
Q: What role does the ego play in interpreting these experiences that one has?
M: A significant role, because most people still filter their experiences through the ego and that’s where serious colouring can take place, or rather, the framing of the experience as one would like it to be rather than the search for truth.
Q: Would that mean that karma has nothing to do with one self, but with all of us, because we are all connected?
M: Exactly, karma is always a balancing of energy. Karma is a harmonious concept not a concept to praise or condemn or whatever else people like to do with it. Karma is simply a natural progression. If you want to learn something, there are certain experiences that you need to make in order to be able to learn and understand it. And karma is helping to be able to get a complete perspective if you like.
Q: Is it a kind of mirroring?
M: That’s a beautiful image for us.
My hope is that this information supports the increase of love frequency on earth during the current time of big changes for humanity 
Much love to you
