139. Our Everyday Miracles – Ylva Wegler

Hypnosis can be healing and liberating. It isn’t spooky manipulation, like in the movies. No pendulums. No turning into chickens on a stage. “I have a high hit rate with my clients”, says hypnotherapist Ylva Wegler. “I can never guarantee a result, because we all have our unique journeys. But I am still amazed by the results.” She believes the best ingredient in her sessions is that she is good at creating a safe space. She also shares many experiences with her clients. “I say jokingly that I am an excellent grief recoverer. This enables them to open their hearts.” “I put my limited self aside and let my unlimited self work. Then we’re rocking”, she laughs. The crucial part in hypnotherapy is to get the controlling part of ourselves out of the way, Ylva explains. The whole body is involved, especially when working with emotions and feelings. “Many think it’s going to be painful. And sometimes it is, but mostly it isn’t.” That is, if you manage to not resist what you are experiencing. Because resistance is the issue. That is what causes pain. Ylva has had a lot of experience of what is referred to as past lives. Both personally and in treatment. “I am most curious about time as a dimension. Are these experiences previous lives or something else?” Her conclusion is that it doesn't really matter. It is something you can access. Ylva has initiated a large book project, where hundreds of people are invited to share their stories of miracles in their lives. Ordinary or extraordinary doesn’t matter. The main thing is how people experience and interpret these events, which have miraculous impacts in their lives. The spark to this idea came when Ylva was doing the Camino walk in Spain. She was able to realize the project after a major personal financial setback, a lot of inner work and a beautiful synchronicity. “It was a huge, beautiful download. I am just here watching it unfold.” The book series, “A Miracle Cure for the Soul”, also led to the creation of a big event at a theater in Stockholm, which Ylva arranges in collaboration with a friend. What is a miracle? “To me it’s all about the inner state”, says Ylva. “It’s about being aware of our thoughts. A thought births a feeling, and the feeling creates the state. If you stay open to miracles, you see them every day.” “To me it wasn’t about miracles from the start. It was about seeing proof that we’re more than our physical selves.” She is not fond of spiritual labels, she says. But she is convinced that we have a beautiful innate ability to empower ourselves and to create our lives and steer it in a direction we prefer. “The more we see that and learn that, the more harmonious we get. And the end result is a more loving world, a peaceful world. That’s what my whole work is about.” The Ylva of 25 years ago was quite different from the Ylva of today. She has made a journey both within and without. It began with a postpartum depression. One thought in her mind told her to end her life. But there was also another voice that said: ‘There’s something really, really wrong here’. “I chose to listen to that latter voice.” Her spiritual a-ha moment happened during a seance 20 years ago. A psychic medium told details about Ylva’s life that nobody but Ylva herself could have known Our modern society is overdue for a holistic health revolution. And it is underway, Ylva believes. These are crucial times in many ways. It looks messy, but perhaps some of the disruption is necessary. How should people handle it? “First of all: Guard your inner state. We are creating a new world from our inner state. I believe that the 'heaven on Earth' the Bible speaks of is a state. And we can choose it every second of our lives.” “The more we choose to see the good in the world, the more good we are going to get.” Ylva’s websiteFacebook Email address: [email protected] Book seriesMirakeldagen (The Miracle Day)
