Newsletter 3. When Illness Becomes Empowerment

by Guido de Valk
Jun 01, 2025

The past few weeks, I’ve been dealing with a flu that didn’t quite break through. And I noticed: I had two options. I could look at it through the lens of a doctor, or through the lens of a conscious creator. That choice made all the difference.

Choosing to respond as a conscious creator made the experience empowering rather than draining. That’s why this week’s article is about illness, and how your perspective changes everything. You’ll find the link below.

Illness and empowerment, those two words don’t often appear in the same sentence. But what if every uncomfortable situation, including disease, was actually an invitation? A moment to pause, to realign, and to regain your inner authority.

That’s the essence of conscious creation: you are never powerless. You always have a say in how you interpret your experience, and how it shapes you.

Wishing you a meaningful week, even if your circumstances seem less than ideal.

—Guido


đź§  Blog Highlight: How Do You Label Disease?

This week’s article explores a radical shift in perspective: what if disease isn’t a punishment, but a signal? What if symptoms don’t just diagnose a condition, but reveal a deeper misalignment with who you truly are?

As a conscious creator, you choose the meaning you give to discomfort.

Newsletter #9 – Are you living from habit — or from freedom?
  ✨ A note from Guido For many years, I lived mostly from what I now call my acquired self — the part of me that tried to fit in, adapt, and please others. I didn’t realize it at the time, but by not living from my True Self, I left so much of life untouched. Relationships felt strained, work was harder than it needed to be, and inside I often felt like I was running in circles. Those challeng...
Newsletter #8 – A Message, a Reaction, a Realization
✨ A note from Guido This week, something small happened that wouldn't leave me alone.Two messages from my neighbour, about something I supposedly did while I was asleep. At first, I responded as I always do: polite, calm, reasonable.But my body didn't buy it.It kept telling me: there’s something here for you. Not something to fix.Something to feel. The story isn’t dramatic. But it stayed with ...
Newsletter 7 | Break free: Shifting  the beliefs that hold you back
Goodday to you! Most people think their thoughts reflect reality, but in truth, they reflect old beliefs. Beliefs you didn’t consciously choose. They were shaped by your childhood, society, painful moments, and unresolved emotions. And here’s the trap:What you believe, becomes your experience. A belief is like a lens through which you view life.If that lens says, “I’m not good enough,” you wil...
