The last few weeks and months—specifically since the beginning of November—I have worked almost non-stop on the new layout for engelchanneling. There were no more days off, and even my Christmas holiday was completely filled with this task. It was incredibly exhausting, but my heart's blood simply drives me forward.

After sitting at the computer until 3 a.m. again last night, I really only wanted one thing today: to chill. To save time and truly do nothing, I decided on McDonald's. Certainly not my first choice, but it's fast. Yet, it was precisely this visit that triggered the impulse for this article.

I have allergies. Spiritually speaking, this is no surprise, as my mediumistic gift goes hand in hand with high sensitivity. I react extremely quickly to certain substances, including tomatoes. For years, I struggled with intestinal problems until I began to question it all with my gift. I do so much for others, but I had often forgotten myself. Suddenly, it all made sense: hardly a day went by without tomatoes or tomato paste in my diet.

Today at the McDrive, it happened: I had completely forgotten to check my order. It wasn't until I was sitting at my kitchen counter at home and had eaten half the burger that the shock hit me: "Oh my goodness!" flashed through my mind.

But then I paused and began to think: if this burger contains a tablespoon of ketchup (which is concentrated histamine), it shouldn't actually matter. Why? Because the dose makes the poison. In the past, I overfilled my "temple"—my body—with histamines daily without knowing the danger. But today, my system is relieved. A single tablespoon in a body that has been allowed to rest for the last few weeks shouldn't actually trigger a severe reaction.

I realized: The only thing that could truly cause harm now is my own attitude toward it. Do I panic? Do I over-dramatize the situation? Or do I approach the matter reasonably and calmly?

You are probably wondering: "What do tomatoes have to do with energetic cleansing or coaching?" The answer is: surprisingly a lot!

Cleansing is more than just "cleaning up"

Many people come to me asking for an energetic cleansing, a curse removal, or chakra clearing. And quite honestly: these are valuable services that can achieve a great deal. They not only clean the field, but they also bring important insights. But—and here comes the big "but": I can only help as far as people allow it.

It is a bit like prayer: you pray to God and feel like you’re still not getting anywhere. I do not want to compare myself to God, of course, but the theme is the same. It is simply not enough to clean only the "outside" if we are still desperately clinging to old thought patterns on the inside. True healing only happens when we use the freshly cleansed energy to become ourselves again.

Important to know beforehand: This dynamic can basically be applied to any interpersonal relationship—whether in the family, among friends, or at work. For simplicity's sake, however, we are using a romantic relationship as an example here.

When Mistrust Puts on the Mask

Take Person A and Person B as an example. The relationship is in a massive crisis and, as so often happens, the social environment gets involved. Fronts are formed, and you almost get the feeling that different parties are going to war against each other. In the beginning, the two only notice: "Something isn't right anymore. My partner isn't like they used to be. There is something between us." Then come the self-doubts: "Am I not good enough? Am I too fat, too thin, or am I doing something else wrong? Do they even still love me? Is someone else involved? Am I still found attractive?"

In the rarest cases, an affair has actually already occurred. Often, you have simply lost sight of yourself or the relationship. Especially since everyday life takes its toll—perhaps children and other responsibilities like mortgages. Externally completely determined by expectations and duties.

It becomes even worse when family quarrels play a role—when outsiders have their hands in the game, people who perhaps were against this connection from the very beginning. The reasons are varied: ranging from simple dislike to disputes over money, real estate, or appearance.

The Fetter in the Mind: Why Cleansing Alone is Not Enough

Usually, I only come into play when it is already very late—when the ship is actually already sinking and everything is woven, knotted, and entangled in one big mess. With my frequency, I can help to fundamentally cleanse the situation first: protection from negative external energy, ill wishes, or curses. But that is by no means everything.

For even when the energetic blockages are resolved, an echo of the old mistrust toward the other party often remains in the heart of those seeking advice. You are no longer yourself. You have become the person you became when uncertainty caught up with you. Fear, worry, grief, and also anger are stuck deep inside.

But what constitutes your actual being before fear and mistrust took the helm? It is certainly not what you are in those moments!

You wear a mask of protection and fear, under which your own true face completely disappears.

Some people believe an energetic cleansing alone would be enough, but it does not help in recognizing one's own internal wolves. You remain suspicious; every word and every facial expression of the partner is put under a microscope. It is like a fetter in the mind. The wolf growls inside and wants to bite, even though there might be no reason for it on the outside anymore.

Quite honestly: who among us wants an angry wolf near them or even wants to pet it? If you constantly expect an attack, the bond—despite all energetic cleansing—tightens further and further. You have forgotten who you actually are and are afraid of finding yourself again and showing yourself as you were before mistrust took over everything.

Back to Power: Your Path Through the Layers

How do you heal this situation? By shedding one layer after another, like an onion, to find yourself again. Ask yourself: Who were you before all this happened?

Back to the ketchup: When a small, careless moment leads to new uncertainty, it is not this one "ketchup moment" that is the problem. It is the fact that we have lost our inner balance. We react "allergically" to the partner because we are actually reacting allergically to the state we currently find ourselves in.

The solution is not to leave out the ketchup—meaning trying to change the partner—but to strengthen our own system again. It is about using the new clarity after the energetic cleansing to find your way back to yourself.

A partner who meets a relaxed, cleansed person no longer has to go on the defensive. In this way, you find your way back to the love that was previously buried under all the energetic rubbish.

The Energetic Basis and the Ketchup Moment: A Way to Yourself

Although one's own cooperation is so decisive, energetic cleansing—the releasing of entanglements and the cutting of negative energies—is by no means superfluous. On the contrary: it is the most important first step.

The Energetic Basis: Cleaning the Canvas

Imagine you want to paint a new, clear picture on a canvas, but the canvas is still full of dust and old, encrusted paint. Without the cleansing, you would only apply your new energy to the old dirt. The cleansing frees you from the burden of foreign, heavy energies. It creates the space in which you can "think for yourself" again and feel yourself.

The cleansing also protects you from renewed attacks and takes the heavy burden off your shoulders. It effectively clears your vision so that you can find the strength to think for yourself and reorganize your life. It is the loving nudge we all need sometimes to get back into our own power.

But let's stick to the comparison with a house cleaning: If you jump around in the mud directly after cleaning and run through the freshly wiped flat with dirty boots, the cleaning ultimately achieved nothing. You must be willing to take off the dirty shoes before you enter the new, clean space.

And so, this one small, insignificant dab of ketchup led in the end to a great "Ketchup Moment" of realization: True freedom begins where we stop complaining about the "burger of life" and instead start finding our own power and purity again.
