A trip to Spain, new insights, and the ability to recognize when old thought patterns no longer serve me. My relationship with ThetaHealing® method — or in other words, another story about my long-standing secret loves.
I have been using the ThetaHealing method since 2014 to support both my own personal growth and that of others. It has been one of the driving forces helping me recognize old patterns of thought and behavior, ask uncomfortable yet necessary questions, and find the courage to move in a direction that feels more authentically true to me. In short: another one of my secret loves.
It All Started in Spain
In 2014, a good fellow traveler invited me to Spain to learn a new self-development method amidst the sea and mountains. The opportunity seemed exciting, so I went along. Sometimes, a single invitation, a single trip, or a single new experience is all it takes for life to gradually shift in a different direction. You set out with a specific goal and return with knowledge, insights, and questions you didn’t have before.
By now, I’ve come to realize that Spain consistently brings something new out in me. It’s as if there were an invisible button there. One that, when pressed, reveals talents and interests that had been quietly waiting for their moment. That is exactly what happened on this trip. I returned from Spain not only with new knowledge and skills but also with the feeling that I held more possibilities than I had previously allowed myself to believe. That was where the story of me and ThetaHealing began.
That same year brought another significant realization: the world is a vast, exciting, and beautiful place. I no longer wanted to return to that old, narrow box where days were spent spinning in a work-related hamster wheel, and actually living my life was postponed to some indefinite future. That was the year I stepped off the treadmill. I began to honestly acknowledge what truly interested me, what I was good at, and what I wanted to do with my life. It certainly wasn’t easy, nor did it happen overnight. However, I had begun to see that one doesn’t always have to carry on in the old way simply out of habit.
The ocean need not be a barrier
What has always fascinated me about ThetaHealing is the opportunity to connect and conduct sessions with people located far away. I have a teacher in Ireland, too, and I have participated in online sessions.
There is something exciting about exploring a person’s thought patterns, desires, and life choices via the internet. Even when one of us is sitting at home in Estonia while the other might be all the way in Canada. I recall, for instance, a moment when I pictured the Canadian landscape as lush and green. And when the person described how the weather there truly alternates between sun and rain and how everything grows rapidly, it brought me a delightful sense of recognition. Such moments have always thrilled me, reminding me how fascinating it is to connect with people, listen to their stories, and discover the diverse ways we perceive the world.
Online meetings have become commonplace today. Yet, I remain captivated by the fact that intuitive experiences and meaningful conversations need not be confined to a single room or country. The world is truly far more expansive than it appears on the surface.
One supportive person can make a world of difference
Throughout my life, I have explored various ways to find greater harmony with myself, learn to value who I am, and find the courage to follow my own path. There has been a reason for this search. When you are surrounded by people who see problems in everything, question your choices, or dismiss your dreams as unrealistic, you might eventually start to feel that it would be wiser to simply give up on your aspirations.
Sometimes, however, all it takes is one person you can turn to and ask, Hey, do you think we’re on the right track? And have them reply, Of course! How could it be any other way?
Such a person doesn’t need to solve your problems or agree with every choice you make. It is enough that they help you see possibilities, even when you have temporarily lost sight of them yourself. In my experience, I have sometimes found this kind of support more easily outside my existing circle of acquaintances. And even far away from Estonia. Meeting new people and experiencing new environments reveals that what you once considered impossible might be a perfectly natural choice for someone else.
That is precisely why I want to be that kind of person for others — someone who doesn’t rush to dismiss their dreams. Perhaps someone simply needs a supportive conversation today to find the courage to take their next step. We cannot walk someone else’s path for them. But we can help them see, once again, that the path is there.
Words have power — but how we use them matters
One aspect of ThetaHealing and other self-development methods that resonates with me is the impact of our beliefs and inner dialogue. What do we tell ourselves day in and day out? Does our inner voice support us, or does it repeat old reproaches? Do we encourage ourselves to give something a try, or do we immediately find ten reasons why it won’t work anyway?
Words play a vital role in how we perceive ourselves and our possibilities. A supportive conversation can help us view a situation from a new angle. A single, well-chosen question can bring clarity. A caring remark can provide the courage a person needs in that moment. Sometimes, a single realization acts like a small needle, piercing through a tangle of thoughts and allowing the tension to subside. A new understanding can change how we react to a situation and the choices we see available to us.
That is why I pay close attention to the words I use in my blog, books, and sessions. I like the idea that words can possess both power and warmth. And that they should help a person understand themselves better, rather than making them feel ashamed or guilty.
One thought I included in my book goes like this: For words to carry true power, they must be honest and kind, because blame and sarcasm do not open the doors to the soul. This does not mean we should always speak only of pleasant things or avoid uncomfortable truths. Sometimes, it is precisely an honest question that helps us move forward. Yet honesty and caring can go hand in hand.
Why am I writing about this now?
ThetaHealing has been a way for me to get to know myself better. It has helped me explore my thought patterns and notice old habits. And ask whether the choices I’ve made so far truly support the life I want to live.
I don’t believe that any single method suits everyone or solves every problem. I, too, have used various approaches, and my journey has been shaped by a combination of experiences, studies, and personal choices. Yet, ThetaHealing has remained one of those methods I keep coming back to. Perhaps it is because I enjoy exploring what lies beneath the visible surface. Why do certain situations affect us so deeply? Why do we sometimes repeat the same behaviors, even when we know they won’t lead us where we want to go? And what could we do differently? These questions resonate with me both personally and in my work with others.
I want to share my knowledge and experiences, hoping that someone might find an idea here that helps them understand themselves better or view their situation from a new perspective. I aim to help create a space where a person can calmly explore what matters to them and consider what the next step on their own path might be. That is precisely why I write, teach, and work with people.
And so, I have found my way back to another one of my secret passions. The story that began in the mountains and by the sea in Spain continues — bringing with it new questions, discoveries, and possibilities.
Who knows where this path will lead me next?
